Big Games Today

<p>Tuesday Night Hoops will be live as a few teams go head to head and there are some solid next level prospects to watch. </p> <p><strong>Bingham vs. Mountain Ridge</strong></p> <p>On paper it might seem as though Bingham should dominate this game but Mountain Ridge has some players that can really go and give Bingham some trouble. SG [player_tooltip player_id="934518" first="Merrick" last="Sherwood"] has been playing well all season and they will need his scoring form all over the floor in order to crack that tough Bingham defense. That defense is anchored by two players as the MIner’s protect the paint well with 6’7 SF [player_tooltip player_id="968083" first="Devin" last="Carlson"] who is starting to really get up and protect the rim. Devis is racking up the blocks and he is also starting to shoot the three-ball really well. [player_tooltip player_id="968084" first="Kam" last="Dupaix"] has been one of the best defenders in the state this year marking almost every opponents best player. Look for him to have an impact on both ends of the floor. [player_tooltip player_id="967686" first="Jake" last="Fitton"] along with Merrick Sgherwood will need to ignite Mountain Ridge from deep in order to really put pressure on Bingham. </p> <p><strong>Key Players not Mentioned:</strong> 6’0 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1057035" first="Ace" last="Reiser"] (Bingham), 6’2 G [player_tooltip player_id="1192299" first="Brantyn" last="Van Dyke"] (Mountain Ridge)</p> <p><strong>Pleasant Grove vs. Skyridge</strong></p> <p>The battle for Region 4 is on as the two top teams go toe to toe today. PG has a height advantage across the board but that hasn’t bothered Skyridge at all this season as [player_tooltip player_id="967723" first="Nick" last="Holland"] has been playing out of his mind. He is balling and he is hitting at all three levels. On the other end of the ball [player_tooltip player_id="1127199" first="McCaden" last="Adams"] has been a player that cannot be stopped as he finds ways to score and he is not fazed by any defender or any defense. [player_tooltip player_id="934022" first="Michael" last="Mitton"] has been playing well as of late and he could be a difference maker as will [player_tooltip player_id="968113" first="Colby" last="Carter"] for Skyridge. </p> <p><strong>Key Players not Mentioned:</strong> 6’7 F [player_tooltip player_id="1199505" first="Isaac" last="Garrett"] (Pleasant Grove), 6’9 C [player_tooltip player_id="1045919" first="Bryson" last="Bailey"] (Skyridge)</p> <p><strong>Cottonwood vs. Cedar Valley</strong></p> <p>Both teams are in the same position in the region standings. This game is huge moving forward as both teams are looking to make a run from now on to position themselves in the RPI. Really like the addition of [player_tooltip player_id="968851" first="Robbie" last="Yates"] as he is able to really showcase his talent full-time. [player_tooltip player_id="1337864" first="Jackson" last="Rose"] will be a tough cover for Cedar Valley [player_tooltip player_id="1337864" first="Jackson" last="Rose"] as his size and skill near the rim is nice. There will be a huge play for the role players to chip in on both ends of the floor.  [player_tooltip player_id="934508" first="Noah" last="Widerburg"] is a major stat stuffer that can go. </p> <p><strong>Key Players not Mentioned:</strong> Ty Christense (Cedar Valley), Chris Cox (Cottonwood)</p>
