Here are a few Day 1 matchups that seem to be great games on paper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>American Fork Red vs. Ironwood, AZ</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ironwood always makes their way to Utah to play against the top teams in the state. Ironwood always has a greta team and they play at a high level. American Fork will be breaking in a few new players in [player_tooltip player_id='1057025' first='Diego' last='Mulford'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1115954' first='Reece' last='Dent'] who both made impacts at their old schools and look to make an impact with AF. now. [player_tooltip player_id='1057050' first='Tiger' last='Cuff'] has played and excellent Spring and [player_tooltip player_id='1538434' first='Blake' last='Rawson'] has had a solid Spring as well. This is a great game and we look forward to watching this one. On a side note you need to catch Ironwood play Ridgeline as well later in the day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>@ Juan Diego 1:00 pm</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Lone Peak vs. Springville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is going to be a good one as Lone Peak has a few guards trying to prove themselves and they should matchup well against Springville. This is a good matchup between [player_tooltip player_id='1146666' first='Chamberlain' last='Burgess'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'] who both have been playing well for their respective club teams. If [player_tooltip player_id='1146663' first='Ike' last='Staley'] is healthy he will be a tough player to defend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>@ Juan Diego 3:00 pm</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Orrem vs. Herriman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game features a lot of notable players. Orem has [player_tooltip player_id='1278444' first='Kai' last='Wesley'], [player_tooltip player_id='1066744' first='Lance' last='Reynolds'], [player_tooltip player_id='1278443' first='Anthony' last='Felesi'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1260479' first='Chance' last='Dastrup']. They will play against a veteran team in [player_tooltip player_id='1115963' first='Ike' last='Palmer'], [player_tooltip player_id='1384539' first='Malcom' last='Johnson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1278442' first='Carlo' last='Mulford']. Herriman also has th [player_tooltip player_id='1369726' first='Cale' last='Barclay'] so there is some great matchup all around between players that all have a shot at playing at the next level at some level. The big matchup will likely be [player_tooltip player_id='1384539' first='Malcom' last='Johnson'] vs. [player_tooltip player_id='1278443' first='Anthony' last='Felesi']. Both long players that have strength and quickness. Really like this game because it is not a normal matchup as these teams would likely never play each other. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>@ Juan Diego 6:00 pm</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Corner Canyon vs. Cottonwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great matchup as [player_tooltip player_id='1056969' first='Brody' last='Kozlowski'] will go head to head with [player_tooltip player_id='1384525' first='Chris' last='Cox'] two Top Players in the class of 2024 that have D1 game. Corner will need to rely on a lot of new faces in the rotation as will Cottonwood. [player_tooltip player_id='1146659' first='John' last='Rosevear'] should be a new player to watch over at Cottonwood as he has moved over. Excited to see what new faces rise over at CCHS. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Other Notable Games</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bingham vs. Ridgeline</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woods Cross vs. Lone Peak</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alta vs. Westlake. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
