December: Surprising Teams 6A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 1 in genaerall has been surprising this year as every team in that region is dangerous. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Weber High School</strong> (8-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although they might not have the toughest strength of schedule they have been playing excellent basketball. Everyone knew thatthey were goingt oget all they could handle from [player_tooltip player_id='1128939' first='Hunter' last='Schenck'] who always rises to the occasion and he has been delivering. The one player who's sudden explosion on to the scene is [player_tooltip player_id='1548362' first='Malachi' last='Spencer']. That above the rim play, that attacking off the bounce has really turned heads and has helped them get off to a great start. Other players that have been playing their part are [player_tooltip player_id='1598266' first='Jordan' last='Oberholtzer'], [player_tooltip player_id='2313760' first='Will' last='Stratford'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2530305' first='Tyler' last='Payne']. These guys can spread the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Riverton High School </strong>(6-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With their only loss coming to Brighton who manhandled them they have bounced back and are leaving a big time impression. [player_tooltip player_id='1551206' first='Ben' last='Barrus'] has been solid doing a little bit of attacking and a little bit of shooting out in the perimeter. They have been able to spread the scoring around getting really good minutes from [player_tooltip player_id='1115949' first='Kaden' last='Allred'] and Evan Barrett who are two PG's that split time handling the ball but they play well together on the floor. [player_tooltip player_id='1115950' first='Zach' last='Edwards'] does a lot of the little things and the big fella in the middle [player_tooltip player_id='1115953' first='Christian' last='Heninger'] is solid as they come rim protecting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Pleasant Grove High School</strong> (6-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team was suppose to be a rebuilding year and they seem to be doing great building their young talent that has stuck around. [player_tooltip player_id='1146665' first='Ryker' last='Mikkelsen'] has been doing a little bit of everything a Swiss Army Knife out there. He is their leading but he does a lot of the dirty work as this team is undersized. Makai Peterson a player who has been waiting his turn to contribute is getting minutes and he is doing very well scoring the ball and being impactful. The tough part of their schedule is coming up and this could really show who they are going forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Lehi High School </strong>(6-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We knew this team was going to be good but they have been getting some major help from everyone that sees the floor. [player_tooltip player_id='1057037' first='Cooper' last='Lewis'] is playing out of his mind and he is still one of the best unsigned prospects in teh state at the PG position. Their only loss came to a team they likely beat 9 out of 10 times as they could not put the ball in the hoop in the 4Q. [player_tooltip player_id='1164729' first='Easton' last='Hawkins'] is ascending ad his level of play has caught a lot of college coaches attention. He is moving into that D1 state. [player_tooltip player_id='1551349' first='Gabe' last='Cowan'] a player that we have been high on in the summer has started to find his role on this team. This team is dangerous and they play with no fear. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
