American Fork Red vs. Ironwood, AZ
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 Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT and Reece Dent Reece Dent 6'8" | SF American Fork | 2024 State UT who both made impacts at their old schools and look to make an impact with AF. now. Tiger Cuff Tiger Cuff 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2024 State UT has played and excellent Spring and Blake Rawson Blake Rawson 6'8" | PF American Fork | 2024 State UT 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.

Lone Peak vs. Springville
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 Chamberlain Burgess Chamberlain Burgess 6'9" | PF Lone Peak | 2025 State #214 Nation UT and Jamyn Sondrup Jamyn Sondrup 6'10" | C Springville | 2026 State UT who both have been playing well for their respective club teams. If Ike Staley Ike Staley 6'6" | SG Lone Peak | 2025 State UT is healthy he will be a tough player to defend.

Orrem vs. Herriman
This game features a lot of notable players. Orem has Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT , Lance Reynolds Lance Reynolds 6'1" | PG Orem | 2024 UT , Anthony Felesi Anthony Felesi 6'5" | CG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT and Chance Dastrup Chance Dastrup 5'10" | PG Orem | 2025 State UT . They will play against a veteran team in Ike Palmer Ike Palmer 6'6" | CG Herriman | 2024 State UT , Malcom Johnson Malcom Johnson 6'6" | SF Herriman | 2024 State UT and Carlo Mulford Carlo Mulford 6'0" | PG Herriman | 2026 State UT . Herriman also has th Cale Barclay Cale Barclay 6'8" | PF Herriman | 2025 State UT 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 Malcom Johnson Malcom Johnson 6'6" | SF Herriman | 2024 State UT vs. Anthony Felesi Anthony Felesi 6'5" | CG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT . 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.

Corner Canyon vs. Cottonwood
Great matchup as Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT will go head to head with Chris Cox Chris Cox 6'7" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2024 State AZ 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. John Rosevear John Rosevear 6'1" | PG Cottonwood | 2025 State UT 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.
