(1) #7 Valley vs #1 Spring Valley – The number 1 team in our 4A rankings faces a tough opening test when they host Valley. The Vikings come in led by tough-as-nails PG Naka Fabello the #13 player in our class of 2023. He will look to lead a squad that will have a ton of young players see minutes. Our 5th ranked freshman Lonnie Bass Jr Lonnie Bass Jr 6'8" | PF Mater East | 2025 State NV . and #14 ranked freshman Kevan Wilkins Kevan Wilkins 6'4" | SF Red Rock | 2025 State NV will be counted to grow up quickly in this one. Spring Valley is loaded as they have perhaps the best 1 – 2 punch in all of the state in #7 c/o 2024 PG Alijah Adem Alijah Adem 6'2" | PG Spring Valley | 2024 State #174 Nation NV and his running mate #9 c/o 2024 big man Pharaoh Compton Pharaoh Compton 6'7" | PF Arbor View | 2024 State #74 Nation NV .
(2) #10 Desert Pines vs Western – Interesting matchup here as DP, led by a new coach goes on the road to take on Western. Western has one of the top players in 4A in lethal wing scorer Jaquavious Williford, the #6 player in our class of 2023. DP comes in with talent and a little experience. Expect Isiaac Boykin Isiaac Boykin 6'2" | SG Desert Pines | 2023 State NV the #14th ranked player in our class of 2023 and Evan Tatum Evan Tatum 6'5" | PF Desert Pines | 2023 State NV the #23 player in the same class to be contributors for the Jags. Rising Senior Jamir Stephens Jamir Stephens 6'1" | CG Desert Pines | 2022 State NV #12 in our c/o 2022 rankings should be the catalyst for the team. Keep an eye out for big man Osvaldo Biebrich Osvaldo Biebrich 6'6" | C Desert Pines | 2023 State NV , the #20 player in our c/o 2023 is a hard hat big man that should provide tough interior play.
(3) Palo Verde vs #9 Cimarron – Should be a good one between two long-time rivals. Palo will have freshman Andrew Miller Andrew Miller 6'3" | SG Palo Verde | 2025 UT leading the way. The 6’3 wing comes in ranked at #6 in our c/o 2025. The 9th ranked Spartans are a darkhorse contender in 4A. They enter with stock riser Miles Mitchell Miles Mitchell 6'2" | SG Cimarron | 2022 State NV and transfer Tayan Thompson Tayan Thompson 6'4" | SF Cimarron | 2022 State NV leading the way, #30 and 28th respectively in their class. Swiss Army Knife player Donte Turner Donte Turner 6'2" | SF Cimarron | 2022 State NV will be a huge key, the #15 player in the class of 2022 will be counted on to do a little of everything to help the Spartans pull out a victory.
