Region 3 Preview
The top teams in Region 3 all have a versatile forward who is also capable of playing on the block. It will be tough for undersized teams in this region and other regions to keep up due to their ability to do so many different things. A couple of guys to keep an eye on in this region include Darrien Nebeker and Trevon Allfrey.
Region 3 Preview: Top 3
1. West Jordan
West Jordan finished just above .500 last year and brings back their top player in Darrian Nebeker. The versatile forward has worked on his game over the off-season to improve the speed of his shot and to continue to improve his athleticism. Nebeker’s skill set and ability to play in an array of spots will aid West Jordan greatly. In addition to Nebeker, Sinai Enoch is an athletic guard who will take on an expended role. He is a capable shooter with good explosiveness.
2. Copper Hills
Copper Hills has plenty of talent that they can rely upon to make up for the high number of seniors who are graduating from their program. One of the key prospects to watch is Trevon Allfrey. As a sophomore, the 2019 prospect had a big season for Copper Hills. With maturity and opportunity, he is capable of being a walking double-double for Copper Hills this season. Allfrey will have to rely on a supporting cast that is largely inexperienced in the varsity ranks. With that said, Copper Hills will reload instead of rebuild.
3. Riverton
Despite losing their leading scorer and leader in assists, Riverton brings back a plethora of talent. Ben Neilson will be responsible for running the show from the point guard position. His ability to manage the tempo of the game will be crucial to the success of this team. In addition to Neilson, keep an eye on 2020 Richie Saunders Richie Saunders 6'5" | SG Wasatch Academy | 2020 State #145 Nation UT . After playing big minutes as a freshman, this talented prospect should have the necessary experience to take his game to the next level and help this team make a big jump.
