<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the 5A Rankings based on what we have seen to date. Some teams have better records than others but we are going with the eyeball test. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alta is going to be tough to beat. The [player_tooltip player_id='1057035' first='Ace' last='Reiser'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1298532' first='Jaxon' last='Johnson'] combo might be the best 1-2 punch in the state in terms of what they do for their team. Highland has played a really good schedule and they have the team to dethrone anyone and they still have room to grow and they are going to be a tough out in the playoffs. Orem has shown some gritt and they are getting good play across the board. [player_tooltip player_id='1278444' first='Kai' last='Wesley'] is playing well and so is [player_tooltip player_id='1164726' first='Jax' last='Allen']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olympus is starting to figure things out and [player_tooltip player_id='1057020' first='Jordan' last='Barnes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1057034' first='Dutch' last='Dowdell'] are getting help from a lot of players that come in and out of the game. Timpview has done some good things even when [player_tooltip player_id='1278448' first='Dean' last='Rueckert'] has been hurt. Look for them to pick things up as players on that roster are starting to rise. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Surprising Teams</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>West Jordan has been playing some high level ball and they are winning games at the end of the day that is all that matters. I was just at their practice today and they are practicing wll and they are a full speed team that is getting some skill building. Weak region might hurt them but they are playing right now. [player_tooltip player_id='1115973' first='Colton' last='Blackham'] is a dangerous player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roy High School has some good wins and they are a team that if you do not do your homework they will get you. Bronson belnap in his last 7 games has hit the 20 point mark 5 times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Upset Minded Teams</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Salem Hills has the player that can carry a team in [player_tooltip player_id='1384542' first='Chase' last='Degraffenried'], this kid can ball and if you let him go off he will take home that dub. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cyprus is starting to use that young experience and they are playing well. It would not surprise me if a Koli Fosita led team upsets a higher seed in the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Elite Players</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a list of players that has not been mentioned already.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1551411' first='George' last='McConkie'] || Highland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2045987' first='Tate' last='Robinson'] || Orem</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2284975' first='Reef' last='Smylie'] || Olympus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1164728' first='Charlie' last='Smith'] || Bountiful</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1548369' first='Carter' last='Dorenbosch'] || West Jordan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1231453' first='Carson' last='Smith'] || Bountiful</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278445' first='Aisa' last='Galeai'] || Timpview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1574292' first='Owen' last='Bawden'] || Cedar Valley </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1459329' first='Landon' last='Shaw'] || Skyline </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rahiti Tiniauari || Juan Diego</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1115952' first='Nash' last='Matheson'] || Brighton </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'] || Springville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1185170' first='Hunter' last='Jackson'] || Woods Cross</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 Alta</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Highland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Orem</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Olympus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Timpview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 Bountiful</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 West Jordan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 Skyline</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 Juan Diego</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Brighton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#11 Cedar Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#12 Roy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 Maple Mountain</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#14 Springville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#15 Northridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#16 Salem Hills</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#17 Taylorsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#18 Wasatch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#19 Viewmont</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#20 East</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#21 Bonneville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#22 Kearns</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#23 Cyprus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#24 Spanish Fork</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#25 Woods Cross</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#26 Clearfield</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#27 West</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#28 Granger</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
