Region Preview: Region 7
Region 7 is stacked. Timpview, Corner Canyon, and Brighton all are legitimate contenders for the region title. Further, Jordan High School took a huge hit with the transfer of Josh Christensen. However, thy gained a huge transfer in Dyson Frank. This region should be full of fun and competitive games.
Region 7 Preview
1. Timpview
Timpview earned a lot of praise from myself in the Way Too Early 6A Rankings due to having a number of talented prospects returning. Without a doubt their top returning prospect is Hunter Erickson. In addition to Erickson is Adam Santiago, who aids greatly in making this one of the top backcourts in the entire state. Lastly, keep an eye on Nate Hansen who will complete the trio. This trio is as good as any in the state.
2. Corner Canyon
This was one of the toughest picks for me as Corner Canyon has a loaded team returning and will be greatly assisted by the transfer of Josh Christensen. Christensen was the leading scorer for region rival Jordan last season. With him transferring and this group returning Amman Jensen, Gabe Toombs, Hayden Welling, and John Mitchell, this team should be stout. Further, this team is young and could potentially win multiple state titles. Canyon has a lot to be excited about and can compete with anyone in the state as well as this classification.
3. Brighton
Brighton will be led by Cam and Luc Krystkowiak. Between these two and other role players on this team, there is a lot of potential for Brighton. In fact, I would not be surprised to see this team win this region and potentially compete for a state title. The Krystkowiak boys are two of the most versatile players prospects in the state. Their presence will make this team dangerous in more than just their region. In addition to Cam and Luc, look for Adam Christensen to be a key X-Factor in this team’s success this season.
