<p>With the season winding down every game is big but when a few teams link up this week it will be huge for the RPI as things are shifty and one win or lose could really make a difference. </p>
<p><strong>Kearns vs. Cyprus</strong></p>
<p>These two teams finally get to tangle it up with each other after a game was rescheduled. Both teams come in undefeated into this matchup. A lot of really good guards in this one as it could get out of hand on the offensive end with both teams running up and down the floor. Do not be surprised if one team comes out in a 2-3 zone to slow one team down. [player_tooltip player_id="934030" first="Quentin" last="Meza"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1057025" first="Diego" last="Mulford"] will have a great matchup with [player_tooltip player_id="967701" first="Iv’Rson" last="Lavizzo"] and Javon Lee. [player_tooltip player_id="934492" first="Gott" last="Daw"] and Justus Jackson-Foobs will lace ’em up against each other as well. This game will come down to the role players as every point will be the difference in a game that could come down the the final few possessions. </p>
<p><strong>Key Players;</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="967705" first="MJ" last="Tia"] (Cyprus), [player_tooltip player_id="967696" first="Amare" last="Ames"] (Kearns)</p>
<p><strong>Copper Hills vs. West Jordan</strong></p>
<p>These two teams cannot afford to lose another game but one has to. West Jordan could really fall deep in seeding and could have a bad matchup in the playoffs as could Copper Hills. West Jordan has a lot of firepower that needs to come through in this game as on the other side [player_tooltip player_id="968093" first="McCoy" last="Langston"] is really playing well. He was single handedly keeping his team close in games against tough opponents with his long range shooting. Copper Hills will also need more production from [player_tooltip player_id="968091" first="Quincy" last="Hills"] and [player_tooltip player_id="968092" first="Luke" last="Moir"]. WJ continues to get excellent play from [player_tooltip player_id="934507" first="Logan" last="Prince"]. This game should be a fun one with a lot of 5 out sets that will feature a lot of these next level prospects.</p>
<p><strong>Key Players:</strong> Esafe Taufahe,a (West Jordan), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1191515" first="Nathan" last="Sorensen"]</strong> (Copper Hills)</p>
<p><strong>Murray vs. Olympus</strong></p>
<p>Murray has the guys and the skill to compete with Olympus but in their last meeting Olympus left no doubt as they had a 20 point lead most of the game till the final minutes as they picked up an 18 point win. Murray has been seeing major elite play from [player_tooltip player_id="934036" first="Chudi" last="Anosike"]. He might need to go off for 30+ in this game in order to his team a chance. Olympus was led by [player_tooltip player_id="1057034" first="Dutch" last="Dowdell"] in their last meeting but with [player_tooltip player_id="1057020" first="Jordan" last="Barnes"] Surging and Jack Wistircill doing his thing this game is going to be a matter of who can stifle who. Look for Murray to use a lot of players to throw at their various stars. </p>
<p><strong>Key Players:</strong> Jaxon Workman (Murray), <strong>Anthony Olsen</strong> (Olympus)</p>
