As the high school basketball season gets underway this week, we'll begin unveiling our preview content, including watch lists and Super 7 selections, in the coming days.

With the help of coaches ― and factoring past accomplishments, potential and team success ― we've compiled watch lists to highlight some of the area's returning standouts and others who could be poised for breakout seasons. These athletes also will be in consideration for our 2022-23 Super 7, which tabs the top seven local players entering this season. That will be announced next week.

As we count down to that, here are some of the players fans should definitely to keep an eye on this winter.
