<p><strong>Region 6</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Region 6 Champion:</span> <strong>Olympus High School </strong></p> <p>Olympus has a very complementary roster. They have a young PG who is mature in [player_tooltip player_id="1057020" first="Jordan" last="Barnes"], they also have a smooth savvy SG in [player_tooltip player_id="1057034" first="Dutch" last="Dowdell"] and they have a big in [player_tooltip player_id="934490" first="Jack" last="Wistrcill"] who has good footwork and is strong down on the blocks but he can also step out and score from deep. They can play any style of ball. They can speed you up and they can also play in the half court as well. Look for them to compete with anyone in the state. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Region 6 MVP:</span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="934490" first="Jack" last="Wistrcill"] || Olympus High School || 2022 ||</strong></p> <p>Jack is going to have a big year. He is going to score a lot and he should be able to defend any bigs in the state as well. Will have a solid all-around year on both ends of the court.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Offensive Player of the Year:</span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="968785" first="Kolton" last="Smith"] || Skyline High School || 2022 ||</strong></p> <p>Kolton is one of the top shooters in the state and his range is impressive. Kolton can shoot it in various ways, catch and shoot, off the bounce and off of movement. Kolton should be up there with the best three-point shooters in the state.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Defensive Player of the Year:</span><strong> [player_tooltip player_id="934504" first="Lander" last="Barton"] || Brighton High School || 2022 ||</strong></p> <p>Lander is a load and he uses his strength to his advantage The Future Division 1 Football player that has recently committed to The University of Utah. Lander is an undersized PF that can hang with anyone on the floor physically and also he can move his feet laterally as well. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Breakout Player of the Year:</span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1057020" first="Jordan" last="Barnes"] || Olympus High School || 2024 ||</strong></p> <p>Jordan was impressive this off-season and we expect him to really turn it up this year. He will be able to rack up assist on the wings and down on the blocks. He can also get shifty to the basket as well as stopping and popping. Jordan is an underrated three-level scorer that will showcase his talents this year. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Newcomer of the Year:</span> <strong>Carter Nielsen || Highland High School || 2025 ||</strong></p> <p>Carter Nielsen has some game and what makes him one of the newcomers to watch is that he can absolutely shoot the ball really well. This is what will enable him to find minutes on the floor as a freshman. Carter can play on the ball but he is tough off the ball. </p>
