Bingham @ Cyprus
The past few years that these two teams have come together they have been impressive. Last season Bingham had a hard time with Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT and then they made a defensive adjustment and were able to pull out a win. This season Quentin has been on a tear against anyone and everyone. He is going to be a tough cover for anyone on the Bingham team. Offensively this will be a big test for Cyprus as Bingham can really stifle teams with their team defense and hard work. Look for Justus Jackson-Fobbs Justus Jackson-Fobbs 6'6" | SF Cyprus | 2023 State UT to have a breakout game in this one. On the other side really like what we have been seeing from Stockton Tueller. He has really improved and become on offensive threat. If Bingham can find ways to turn defense into offense and get easy buckets they can make this one interesting.
Other Players to Watch:
KJ Jenson KJ Jenson 6'0" | SG Bingham | 2023 State UT , Brayden Whitehead Brayden Whitehead 6'10" | C Bingham | 2023 State UT , Spies Tia Spies Tia 6'3" | PF Cyprus | 2023 State UT
Lone Peak @ Davis
Lone Peak has been in some battles this year as has Davis. Bothe teams have some young players trying to gain experience and win games. Davis has actually gotten a lot of their players as most of them are new to major varsity minutes but we like what we see from Colby Whicker Colby Whicker 6'2" | CG Davis | 2023 State UT and Zach Fisher. These guys have the ability to go off at anytime. The way that Davis plays really helps any player have a breakout game. Lone Peak has been getting solid play from Ike Staley Ike Staley 6'6" | SG Lone Peak | 2025 State UT and Jaxon Best. This could be a good game for Luke Fotheringham Luke Fotheringham 6'3" | SF Lone Peak | 2023 State UT to go off.
Other Key Players:
Coleman Atwater Coleman Atwater 6'3" | PG Davis | 2025 State UT , Chamberlain Burgess Chamberlain Burgess 6'9" | PF Lone Peak | 2025 State #214 Nation UT , Kaden Egget, Jorge Suarez
Riverton vs. Dixie
Interesting matchup between a team we expected to be good this season and a team that is playing well and surprising a few. Now Riverton hasn’t played a lot of games but they have played well. Jaxon Kereks has been good. But he has a had a lot of players step up and provide some balanced scoring. Everyone that gets on the floor is producing. Dixie has been a team that just finds ways to win. They are getting great play from Jordan Roberts Jordan Roberts 6'0" | PG Dixie | 2024 State UT and Kyle Lemke Kyle Lemke 6'9" | C Dixie | 2024 State UT but they have a lot of other players that have been stepping up.
Other Players to Watch:
John Southwick John Southwick 6'3" | SG Utah Prep | 2025 State #234 Nation UT , Breckon Robinson, Grant Carter Grant Carter 6'1" | CG Dixie | 2023 State UT , Stratton Johnson Stratton Johnson 6'1" | SG Riverton | 2023 State UT , Carter Nixon
Alta @ Woods Cross
Love that both teams have challenged themselves with a tough schedule. WX has really played some good ball and has played against some top teams. Jaxon Smith Jaxon Smith 6'1" | PG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT and Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT have been very good this year. Alta has had a few players step up but Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT and Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT have been a crazy good duo and they are just scratching the surface. This is going to be the best game of the week.
Other Key Players:
Nash Hinck Nash Hinck 5'11" | PG Alta | 2023 State UT , Carter Doleac Carter Doleac 6'8" | PF Alta | 2024 State UT , Alex Brey Alex Brey 6'5" | SF Woods Cross | 2023 State UT
