Alta continues to impress and they have been showing different sets and defensive sets as of late as they are set to play in the 2nd half of region soon.
#1 Alta
Excited to see Alta against Wasatch Academy tonight. This is a growth game as they are heading up to Mount Pleasant, Utah to get better regardless of the outcome. This will be a great test for

will need to stay out of foul trouble because they are very slim with size after him. This could also be a great game to get some of those young unexperienced bigs some good paying time with nothing on the line.
#2 Olympus
This team is one of the most fun teams to watch as they play the right way by sharing the ball and they shoot so well. Zak Albers has been stellar this year as he has been buckets from deep.

is arguably the best passing guard in the state as well as creator for others. Their open free-playing sets really benefit his elite vision and passing ability.
#3 Cottonwood

are a true big to ig combo that gives teams problems. You mix in some of their guards and they get open looks. If they can hit the open man and hit their open shots they will be tough.

are getting great help from Eberhart and Brey. this team can get out and run but they can also hurt you in the half-court with Mason as he is just a tough cover for these skinny high school guards.
#6 Lehi
Copper Lewis is good and he really needs to get some more love as a solid PG that can shoot. He has a D2 game but when this Lehi team is one they are trouble. They gave Alta a scare and they ran Timpview.
#7 Skyline
This team has some special shooters and when they all get it going it is a pick who you will leave open type of poison.

#8 Box Elder
A dangerous team that will wear you out. They do have a style that makes you play their style of game. Jaxkson McKee and Elijah Kersey Elijah Kersey 6'0" | PG Box Elder | 2024 State UT are an underrated duo.
#9 Timpview
This is another team that is fun to watch when they are clicking.

is playing ata high level. They have many players that get on the floor and they can really maximize that strength by full-court pressing the entire game and rotating guys in. they have the dogs to do that.
#10 Cedar Valley
This team has been quiet as of late and they might be able to sneak up on someone because of that. They have two dynamic guards in Cole Allen and
