How they are chosen

• The NOW sports staff begins compiling each All-Suburban team by contacting all coaches in its coverage area and asking for nominations. Coaches provide comments on each player and season statistics.
• That information is put on a ballot to which NOW reporters add their own first-hand impressions of players.
• Each staff member then votes for the 10 players he feels should be on the team, ranking them from 10 to 1. The player with the most points is named the Player of the Year and the next 10 players are also named to the team.
• Those players receiving votes who do not make the team earn high honorable mention and those who are nominated but don't receive votes earn honorable mention.

 

Foes can't catch the high-flying Sho

Lazovik's steady hand leads Bay

Whitefish Bay coach Kevin Lazovik, a reserve guard on the Blue Dukes' 1998 state champion team, came full circle this season and led his alma mater to the Division 2 state title.

The Tokoto Watch

 

The latest on Menomonee Falls basketball star J.P. Tokoto, one of the top prep players in the nation.
 

Dunk you very much: Tokoto put on a slam clinic after a recent practice.
 

Most recent game: On the heels of Tokoto's decision to attend the University of North Carolina, Menomonee Falls bowed out in the first round of the playoffs in a nail-biting loss to Waukesha South. The question now turns to whether or not Tokoto returns for his senior season with Menomonee Falls. The Indians finished the year 11-12.

Season stats: Tokoto averages 20.5 points per game, fifth among Milwaukee-area players with at least 13 games played.

Next level: Rivals.com lists Tokoto as the No. 40 prospect in the nation among 2012 recruits. He announced he would be attending the University of North Carolina on March 3. Check out our photo gallery and archived video from the event.
