Alta vs. Timpview
Alta got the best of Timpview in their last matchup but Timpview has been playing well and Coach Izzy might have something up his sleeve. James Rust James Rust 6'5" | CG Timpview | 2023 State UT will likely be covered by Jackson Johnson and maybe Carter Doleac Carter Doleac 6'8" | PF Alta | 2024 State UT but if they can work switches Alta could be in trouble because they have a hard time guarding bigger guards. Dean Rueckert Dean Rueckert 6'7" | SF Timpview | 2026 State UT is going to have to go inside and out and if he is feeling it form deep they will have action closing this game out. Guard play on the defensive end will be crucial as they will need Taki Uluilakepa Taki Uluilakepa 5'11" | CG Puyallup | 2023 UT to shadow Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT all over the floor. Alta has been playing well despite loosing a close one to Lehi. Carter Doleac Carter Doleac 6'8" | PF Alta | 2024 State UT is the key in this one. He is a big body that if used will open up looks for the likes of Bo Compton Bo Compton 6'0" | CG Alta | 2024 State UT and Nash Hinck Nash Hinck 5'11" | PG Alta | 2023 State UT . Johnson and Reiser should combine for 40 and if they do Alta will pick this win up.
Edge: Alta
Ridgeline vs. Sky View
Ridgeline is trying ot make things interesting and tie things up with a win tonight. Sky View had an explosive 2nd quarter in their first meeting. Things might be different with some adjustments this time around. Jagger Francom Jagger Francom 6'8" | C Ridgeline | 2024 State UT and Luke Sorensen need to score in double digit. They are too good to not get to 10 points at least. Carson Cox Carson Cox 6'4" | CG Ridgeline | 2024 State UT did his part as he is a player that has been really stock rising because he is playing really well. If he goes off for 5 three pointers this game could go to Ridgeline. Sky View is a good team and they can play with anyone in the state. Sky View knows hot to control the tempo. Logan Deal Logan Deal 6'6" | SF Sky View | 2023 State UT is playing well and Tanner Davis Tanner Davis 6'5" | PG Sky View | 2024 State UT and Carter Davis Carter Davis 6'6" | CG Sky View | 2023 State UT are really good. They will be a handful to stop.
Edge: Sky View
Summit Academy vs. Judge Memorial Catholic
Summit Academy has figured out how to control the tempo and make teams play their style of play. this might be a game where we go first to 50 wins. Sherlock Padmore is a solid next level prospect. NWAC school should not miss out on this kid. He is a steal if you can get him. He is SF at around 6’7 and he has athleticism. Bryson Ottley Bryson Ottley 6'1" | PG Summit Academy | 2023 UT is a good D3 type of player at the lead guard position. On the other end Judge is guard heavy and they have some heavy hitters. Maurico Lemos has been playing well but they will need everyone to pitch in on this one. Aaydan Saucedo Aaydan Saucedo 6'0" | CG Judge Memorial Catholic | 2024 State UT , Longar Alor Longar Alor 6'6" | SF Judge Memorial | 2025 State UT , Manase Mangala Manase Mangala 6'3" | SF Judge Memorial Catholic | 2023 State UT and Deng Deng Deng Deng 6'6" | CG Judge Memorial | 2025 State UT need to step it up to help Judge get a good seed in the playoffs.
Edge: Judge Memorial Catholic
