2018-19 Fortuna Huskies Basketball team best ever?

Right now the Fortuna Huskies Basketball team is ranked 56th in the State by Max Prep and #2 for Division 4 teams. I have seen them play a few times this year and I think this just might be the best high school team I have seen in Humboldt. Zach Claus, Drew Gillette and the Willis brothers should have a chance to lead this team to the Division 4 State Championships.

I am sure some will say the 1996 Arcata team was the best from Humboldt ever, but I am not so positive.

The best player in Humboldt Del Norte could be George Navarro out of Hoopa High. He is averaging 31.2 pts a game ranking 4th in the state! That is good enough for 17th in the USA and he also ranks with leaders with 77 3 pointers.

What drives me nuts about local coaches is their lack of care to turn in score boxes to Max Prep to update the stats of all players on Humboldt Del Norte teams. Only Arcata and Hoopa are turning in information timely so people don't know how the players compare to the North Coast and state. assign this to a student or a parent volunteer. Heck, we used to actually get score boxes for High School and College teams locally in the Times Standard. Obviously those are years gone by.
