New Year New Team Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>6A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6A is starting to heat up and two players coming back into their respective lineups could change a lot. [player_tooltip player_id='1057044' first='David' last='Katoa'] returns in a few days and adding another guard that can do so much makes Layton even more dangerous. Many people have missed out on watching Katoa play and they are in for a treat. crazy saying this but he might be better than he was before his injury. Then you have [player_tooltip player_id='1056969' first='Brody' last='Kozlowski'] making it back into the swing of things after his injury. corner Canyon will need to tighten up their rotations but they have a few players playing well and I really like what I am seeing from Deisel Dart, he should be getting minutes. American Fork is battle tested and the emergence of Jared Shepherd has been big time. [player_tooltip player_id='2232321' first='Xander' last='Hale'] has stepped up as well. Then you have Tigger Cuff and [player_tooltip player_id='1538434' first='Blake' last='Rawson'] doing their thing. Lehi is quietly building ther resume but they are good. [player_tooltip player_id='1057037' first='Cooper' last='Lewis'] is turning into one of the best unsigned kids in the class. [player_tooltip player_id='1164729' first='Easton' last='Hawkins'] is popping and [player_tooltip player_id='1551349' first='Gabe' last='Cowan'] is starting to come into his own. Pleasant Grove High School is playing some wild basketball shooting more three-pointers than I have ever seen. If they are on they are trouble and [player_tooltip player_id='2308771' first='Ty' last='Palmer'] can go, this kid can shoot the lights out. [player_tooltip player_id='1146665' first='Ryker' last='Mikkelsen'] plays hard and is a hybrid forward that cleans up a lot of misses. Andre Anderson and [player_tooltip player_id='2451530' first='Clay' last='Hansen'] can also sling it from deep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riverton is a dangerous team because they have to solid PG's in Tate Allred and Evan Barrett who can both handle the ball and play make. Barrett can shoot from deep. Then you have the big fella who might not light up the stat sheets but he is a force in the paint on both ends in [player_tooltip player_id='1115953' first='Christian' last='Heninger']. I like what [player_tooltip player_id='1115950' first='Zach' last='Edwards'] provides as a SF and [player_tooltip player_id='1551206' first='Ben' last='Barrus'] is so underrated as he can score from all over the floor. Herriman High School is really good on paper and it seems like they will start the new year on a role as they are getting excellent play from [player_tooltip player_id='1278442' first='Carlo' last='Mulford'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1115963' first='Ike' last='Palmer']. Keep an eye on [player_tooltip player_id='1369726' first='Cale' last='Barclay'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1384539' first='Malcom' last='Johnson']. Farminton has guards galore and [player_tooltip player_id='1057024' first='Paul' last='Beattie'] is playing at a high level. [player_tooltip player_id='1853979' first='Jayden' last='Haskell'] has bene stellar as well. Lone Peak needs to stay out of foul trouble and healthy and they have a squad. At times they shoot some bad threes with no other touches, but when they play the right way they can play with anyone. [player_tooltip player_id='2280070' first='Thom' last='Kramer'] has been solid, [player_tooltip player_id='1146666' first='Chamberlain' last='Burgess'] continues to improve and [player_tooltip player_id='1146663' first='Ike' last='Staley'] is a big kid that can shoot. [player_tooltip player_id='1316136' first='Jackson' last='Taylor'] could be a difference maker if he shoots 40% from deep. Weber like everyone else has had their ups and downs but you have more ups when [player_tooltip player_id='1128939' first='Hunter' last='Schenck'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1548362' first='Malachi' last='Spencer'] are feeling it. They are getting some great play from [player_tooltip player_id='1598266' first='Jordan' last='Oberholtzer'] as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 American Fork</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Lehi</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Layton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Corner Canyon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Pleasant Grove</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 Riverton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 Herriman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 Farmington</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 Lone Peak</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Weber</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others:</strong> Fremont, Bingham</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>5A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a few teams that have the pieces but is it going to be enough to take down Alta or Olympus? That is the question. Olympus is picking up steam and they get better and better every game. They are getting great play from [player_tooltip player_id='2284975' first='Reef' last='Smylie'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2310351' first='Will' last='Blanck']. that helps players like [player_tooltip player_id='1278502' first='Gavin' last='Lowe'], [player_tooltip player_id='1057020' first='Jordan' last='Barnes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1057034' first='Dutch' last='Dowdell'] get open looks. This team is dangerous. ALta has been talked about enough. [player_tooltip player_id='1057035' first='Ace' last='Reiser'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1298532' first='Jaxon' last='Johnson'] are just next level. Highland has a lot of players that can play at a high level. They might have too many players as sometimes thier go to players are on the becnh too much. George McKonkie shows flashes and [player_tooltip player_id='1278450' first='Isaiah' last='Drisdom'] can GO! This kid is electric. [player_tooltip player_id='1115974' first='Grayson' last='Gaddis'] has proven he can score from all over and [player_tooltip player_id='2222385' first='Matt' last='Lambson'] can shoot!. Bountiful is playing better and they are getting great play from [player_tooltip player_id='1231453' first='Carson' last='Smith'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1164728' first='Charlie' last='Smith']. Salem Hills is getting a lot from [player_tooltip player_id='1384542' first='Chase' last='Degraffenried']. Orem has had some really good moments and [player_tooltip player_id='1260479' first='Chance' last='Dastrup'] is a good PG. [player_tooltip player_id='2045987' first='Tate' last='Robinson'] is shooting well and [player_tooltip player_id='1164726' first='Jax' last='Allen'] is figuring things out but he has a lot of potential on this roster. This team has not peaked one bit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Timpview has some young guns and you can never overlook [player_tooltip player_id='1278448' first='Dean' last='Rueckert']. Skyline is starting to figure things out with this team . [player_tooltip player_id='1459329' first='Landon' last='Shaw'] is a go to player and he has some guard he can count on out in the perimeter. really like that guard [player_tooltip player_id='2308781' first='Beau' last='Bierman']. Springville has bigs, and guard and they just need to put it all together. [player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'] is a tuff tuff cover. [player_tooltip player_id='2244571' first='Andrew' last='Miller'] is electric and [player_tooltip player_id='1278449' first='Mason' last='Hansen'] is doing well running the team. Maple Mountain is a sleeper team that nobody wants to play. [player_tooltip player_id='2277059' first='Matthew' last='Peterson'], Bennett Averett and [player_tooltip player_id='1551344' first='Brogan' last='Miles'] are a tough trio. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 Alta</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Olympus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Highland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Bountiful</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Salem Hills</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 Orem</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 Timpview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 Skyline</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 Springville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Maple Mountain</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others:</strong> Juan Diego, Roy, Brighton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>4A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>dixie is the team to beat and they are not worried about the target on their back. They have been here before and [player_tooltip player_id='1185179' first='Kyle' last='Lemke'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1391447' first='Jordan' last='Roberts'] keep getting better. Roberts is showing even more wiggle to his game, which helps him create for himself and others. Green Canyon and [player_tooltip player_id='1057039' first='Jared' last='Anderson'] are playing really tough ball right now. Murray is a scary team that should be in the mix. [player_tooltip player_id='1115933' first='Quinton' last='Christman'] is a must see. Timpanogos is playing well and Jaxen Mcuistion is playing at a high level over there and so is [player_tooltip player_id='1551354' first='Jack' last='Johnson'] and you are starting to see more production from [player_tooltip player_id='1541293' first='Steven' last='LaPray']. LCA has so many dudes that it is hard to keep track but [player_tooltip player_id='1575685' first='Tyrin' last='Jones'] is leading that team as a high flying win. They have a couple of shooters and some size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Provo is playing very well and [player_tooltip player_id='2261498' first='Jason' last='Carter'] has come out of the sticks to be playing at a level that all small schools should be on him including the NJCAA schools. Ridgeline is always good and they should string a bunch of wins together here as they are lead by [player_tooltip player_id='1392877' first='Carson' last='Cox'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1235094' first='Jagger' last='Francom']. Mountain view is string to play better and they are getting that do it all play from Simeon Sugutugara [player_tooltip player_id='1439711' first='Bryce' last='Mella'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1115985' first='Conner' last='Fairbanks']. Crimson Cliffs is no walk in the park and they will be battle tested come state. [player_tooltip player_id='2255340' first='Sean' last='Felts'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2042537' first='Luke' last='Johnson'] are legit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 Dixie</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Green Canyon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Murray</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Timpanogos</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Layton Christian </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 Provo</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 Ridgeline</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 Logan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 Mountain View</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Crimson Cliffs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others:</strong> Pine View, Hillcrest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>3A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 South Summit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Emery</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Juab</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Canyon View</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Judge Memorial</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>2A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 South Sevier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Enterprise</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Duchesne</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 North Summit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 APA West Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>1A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 Panguitch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Wendover</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Tabiona</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Wayne</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Piute</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
