Kearns vs. Cyprus
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. Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT and Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT will have a great matchup with Iv’Rson Lavizzo Iv’Rson Lavizzo 5'10" | PG Kearns | 2022 State UT and Javon Lee. Gott Daw Gott Daw 6'5" | CG Kearns | 2022 State UT 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.

Copper Hills vs. West Jordan
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 McCoy Langston McCoy Langston 6'6" | CG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT 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 Quincy Hills Quincy Hills 6'0" | PG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT and Luke Moir Luke Moir 6'6" | SF Copper Hills | 2022 State UT . WJ continues to get excellent play from Logan Prince Logan Prince 6'3" | CG West Jordan | 2022 State UT . This game should be a fun one with a lot of 5 out sets that will feature a lot of these next level prospects.

Murray vs. Olympus
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 Chudi Anosike Chudi Anosike 6'5" | CG Murray | 2023 State UT . He might need to go off for 30+ in this game in order to his team a chance. Olympus was led by Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT in their last meeting but with Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT 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.
