<p><strong>West Jordan vs. Mountain Ridge</strong></p>
<p>West Jordan is 5-2 and Mountain Ridge is 2-5. Mountain Ridge has talent on their team as they seem to hand with almost everyone but seem to falter late. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="934518" first="Merrick" last="Sherwood"]</strong> is a solid next level prospect and he has been very consistent throughout the season, he will need a lot more help moving forward as they try and make a late run here over the next few games. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1192299" first="Brantyn" last="Van Dyke"]</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="967686" first="Jake" last="Fitton"]</strong> will need to match the Jaguars guard play. On the other side West Jordan escaped a bad loss against Riverton as two free-throws rimed out which allowed West Jordan to escape with a win. [player_tooltip player_id="934507" first="Logan" last="Prince"] is coming up when it matters as he continues to play well in that uptempo style as he finds his spots and he finds his teammates. </p>

<p><strong>Pleasant Grove vs. Westlake</strong></p>
<p>Pleasant Grove is coming off of a loss to American Fork and Westlake is coming off of a big loss to Corner Canyon.

[player_tooltip player_id="968781" first="Dylan" last="Jones"] has been huge but he did not fair well against his old team in their last meeting. Look for him to be more aggressive. On the other end of the ball there are a few player on that PG roster that could really make a huge difference. [player_tooltip player_id="1198755" first="Tanner" last="Hanks"] has been playing well.
