<p>Really like the growth of [player_tooltip player_id='1532645' first='Jeremiah' last='Johnson'], [player_tooltip player_id='1114374' first='Malick' last='Diallo'] and Isaiah Harwell. They are good underclassmen to be paired up With [player_tooltip player_id='1489614' first='RJ' last='Jones'], [player_tooltip player_id='1532642' first='Osiris' last='Grady'] and Company. Would love to see a Super State Tournament that featured Top 2 of 6A, 5A and 4A and add WA and RSL Academy. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We have a new #2 but really they are the #1 traditional high school in the state. They got a spark from [player_tooltip player_id='969631' first='Jaxson' last='Roberts'] this past week. Look for other players t step up when they get a team that tries to take away [player_tooltip player_id='934040' first='Max' last='Toombs'] or [player_tooltip player_id='1056969' first='Brody' last='Kozlowski']. </p>

<p>Can't really drop them too much because they're too good. [player_tooltip player_id='969235' first='Ashton' last='Wallace'], [player_tooltip player_id='1057050' first='Tiger' last='Cuff'] and Aaron Dune have been solid. [player_tooltip player_id='1538434' first='Blake' last='Rawson'] is a big time forward in the Class of 2024. </p>

<p>The Pirates keep the 4th spot but teams will gain on them because their region is not good. Justus Foobs-Jackson had himself a great game. If he is on that lets [player_tooltip player_id='934030' first='Quentin' last='Meza'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1057025' first='Diego' last='Mulford'] play a bit more free. </p>

<p>#5 Alta</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This team has been able to find ways to win. [player_tooltip player_id='1439888' first='Carter' last='Goodfellow'] had himself a game. If he can keep the positive production it just makes them more dangerous with [player_tooltip player_id='1511464' first='Nash' last='Hinck'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1057035' first='Ace' last='Reiser'] out there on the perimeter as well. </p>

<p>#6 Olympus</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This team is starting to click. Just remember they have a whole new team besides two. [player_tooltip player_id='1057020' first='Jordan' last='Barnes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1057034' first='Dutch' last='Dowdell'] have done a great job of passing on the knowledge and torch to these younger players. </p>

<p>#7 Lone Peak</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With a super tough Region this team is starting to look dangerous with Jaxon Best lighting it up from deep. [player_tooltip player_id='1146663' first='Ike' last='Staley'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1146666' first='Chamberlain' last='Burgess'] really holding it down in the paint. Jorge Suarez is a tough player that gives great minutes. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With a big win against AF and them finding ways to win some battles. [player_tooltip player_id='934027' first='Mason' last='Bendinger'] and [player_tooltip player_id='969245' first='Jaxon' last='Smith'] seem to find ways to win. This squad has some super star role players for sure. </p>

<p>#9 Cottonwood</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The scary thing about Cottonwood is that [player_tooltip player_id='1384525' first='Chris' last='Cox'] can be held under double digits and they still get a 20+ point win. This team is scary.</p>

<p>#10 Riverton</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Picked up a huge road Region win but they haven't proven anything yet. Jaxon Kereks is a player that can carry this team if he needs to. </p>

<p>#11 RSL Academy</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With a seson ending injury to [player_tooltip player_id='1057044' first='David' last='Katoa'] it looks like a few players will need to step and that is [player_tooltip player_id='934041' first='Lyman' last='Simmons'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1532662' first='JJ' last='Mandaquit']. [player_tooltip player_id='1146662' first='JJ' last='Apathjang'] has the skills to provide a scoring punch but the schedule is difficult. </p>

<p>Really like their play as they started off playing well, have had some ups and downs but they are on an upward swing with [player_tooltip player_id='1115931' first='Hunter' last='Hansen'] averaging 20+ a game. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>They are the team to beat in 4A. They took out a good Snow Canyon team and look to keep it rolling. [player_tooltip player_id='1391447' first='Jordan' last='Roberts'] is one of the best set up PG's in the state. </p>

<p>#14 Springville</p>

<p>Played another team with a strong big and tehy just had to find another way to win. Really like the development of [player_tooltip player_id='1278449' first='Mason' last='Hansen'].</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With a few signature wins earlier in the season they picked up a huge one at Bingham. [player_tooltip player_id='1536914' first='Kyson' last='Hymas'] is tough and I like that they start a freshman PG in Isaiah Reiser. </p>

<p>#17 Lehi</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1057037' first='Cooper' last='Lewis'] and Lehi are trouble. They are capable of hitting 10+ threes a game. </p>

<p>#18 Layton</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A lot to like about Layton. They have a good PG ([player_tooltip player_id='1057040' first='Mekhi' last='Martin']) they have a good shooter ([player_tooltip player_id='1057041' first='KJ' last='Miller']) and a solid big ([player_tooltip player_id='1206892' first='Brock' last='Mendoza']) stay tuned.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1559781' first='Tanner' last='Davis'] is one of the best under the radar PG's in the state. He has that three-level scoring ability and he gets others the rock. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1207031' first='Cole' last='Johnson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1057024' first='Paul' last='Beattie'] are a great duo that could be a problem once they get going. </p>

<p>#23 Layton Christian</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Team is deep an loaded. Curious how they will play their rotations in the playoffs. They have a few players like Otavio Amrani, [player_tooltip player_id='1332624' first='Souleymane' last='Barro'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1402371' first='Tyrese' last='Lacey'] that should get a bolk of the minutes. </p>
