Keys to Success: Region 9

<p>Region 9 is going to be a region that gets overlooked as they do not have very many flashy players or high on the radar talent across the region, but they will play a brand of basketball that will keep them in games and they will be able to compete with many of the other school sin 5A. </p> <p><strong>Maple Mountain</strong></p> <p>Maple Mountain is going to be.a tough team to really take a read on as almost every contributor from last season graduated as they had a heavy senior laden team. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1192245" first="Bennie" last="Killpack"]</strong> was the only player that was an underclassman last season that score a point and he only score 6 points all of last season. Maple Mountain usually has a descent JV team but that is yet to be seen. </p> <p><strong>Provo</strong></p> <p>While graduating to great players in Castagneto and Juan Pablo Camargo Provo is in somewhat of a rebuild and they will need some leadership from Aaron Castagneto. Aaron has a shot at making his presence known this next year with a solid sophomore campaign. </p> <p><strong>Salem Hills</strong></p> <p>Will have some new players step up and some new roles to be filled. [player_tooltip player_id="1207076" first="Ryker" last="Richards"] will be a player that needs to step up his production as he will be needed. The 6’2 guard rebounds very well for his team but he will need to be more of a long ball threat if he wants to help Salem Hills have a productive season. </p> <p><strong>Spanish Fork</strong></p> <p>Spanish Fork will have an interesting decision to make as they have an incoming freshman that can make a big impact. 6’9 [player_tooltip player_id="1164723" first="Aaron" last="Dunn"] is a force against anyone regardless of class. Aaron is tough down on the blocks. If Spanish Fork can find easy ways to give him touches he will take care of the rest. </p> <p><strong>Springville</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1201682" first="Jake" last="Nadauld"] will likely take over as the top scorer on the team. Look for him to push 19+ points a game and Springville will have some action going for them with him scoring the ball.</p> <p><strong>Wasatch</strong></p> <p>Wasatch has a good team and the player that will likely help is [player_tooltip player_id="1201656" first="Jaxton" last="Anderson"] who put up some good numbers but what I am more impressed with is the fact that he can shoot the ball really well. The kid could increase his scoring with more looks at the three. Wasatch has a shot in this region this year and Jaxton could be the reason why. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
