Alta is going to be tough to beat. The Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT and Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT 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. Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT is playing well and so is Jax Allen Jax Allen 6'4" | CG Orem | 2025 State #391 Nation UT .
Olympus is starting to figure things out and Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT and Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT are getting help from a lot of players that come in and out of the game. Timpview has done some good things even when Dean Rueckert Dean Rueckert 6'7" | SF Timpview | 2026 State UT has been hurt. Look for them to pick things up as players on that roster are starting to rise.
Surprising Teams
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. Colton Blackham Colton Blackham 6'0" | PG West Jordan | 2024 State UT is a dangerous player.
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.
Upset Minded Teams
Salem Hills has the player that can carry a team in Chase Degraffenried Chase Degraffenried 6'2" | PG Salem Hills | 2024 State UT , this kid can ball and if you let him go off he will take home that dub.
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.
