AZ products in March Madness

March 17, 2016 by Jose Garcia, AZPreps365


A strong contingent of Arizona high school basketball graduates is preparing to continue to partake in March Madness.

Twenty-three athletes with Arizona high school ties are on the rosters of NCAA basketball teams that reached the Division I tournaments for men and women. Oregon State’s Sydney Wiese (12.8 ppg) and Washington’s Chantel Osahor (15th in the nation with 10.7 rpg.) are two of Arizona’s high school representatives who are playing well and helped their teams land NCAA tournament seeds.

Below is the list of the 23 players and their current stats. If we missed somebody, please send me an e-mail (jgarcia@azpreps365.com).
