Layton just got a lot scarier and if you haven’t watched them play with a fully healthy roster you are missing out. They have a lot more balance to their team and they have 3 to 4 guys that can beat you in the clutch. Honestly the only team that can beat layton in the regular season is themselves. We head over to Utah County and Lehi is for real. Cooper Lewis Cooper Lewis 6'1" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT is playing out of his mind. If he can get consistent help from Easton Hawkins Easton Hawkins 6'4" | CG Lehi | 2025 State UT and Gabe Cowan Gabe Cowan 6'4" | CG Lehi | 2024 State UT among others they will be tough to beat. Corner Canyon is making some moves now. Noah Bendinger Noah Bendinger 6'3" | CG Corner Canyon | 2025 State UT is finally looking like himself again. Isaac Neibaur Isaac Neibaur 6'3" | CG Corner Canyon | 2024 State UT has been playing some big time two way basketball and Bryton Valdes Bryton Valdes 5'10" | PG Corner Canyon | 2025 State UT knows where to put the ball. Hurry up and wait they are almost at full strength. Weber is playing the best team basketball I have seen them play in the past 4 years. This team could really make anyone nervous in state, especially the way Malachi Spencer Malachi Spencer 6'7" | CG Weber | 2024 State UT and Hayden Schenck are playing. AF is loaded and if they can get their second win here soon they could easily be the last team standing. Tiger Cuff Tiger Cuff 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2024 State UT and Jared Shepherd have been the best combo in the backcourt for them right now. Herriman is ready to make a push and they are getting everything they can from Ike palmer. Look for Carlo Mulford Carlo Mulford 6'0" | PG Herriman | 2026 State UT to take it to another level here in region play. Davis has been up and down but when Coleman Atwater Coleman Atwater 6'3" | PG Davis | 2025 State UT and Zach Fisher Zach Fisher 6'7" | CG Davis | 2024 State UT are on everyone else gets better looks at the basket. Bingham might be the most dangerous team in 6A because they have so many ways to beat you and their guard play is excellent with Stockton Tueller Stockton Tueller 6'2" | CG Bingham | 2024 State UT and Luke West Luke West 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2026 State UT . Lone Peak is another team that has the horses but needs more consistant play from everyone. Chamberlain Burgess Chamberlain Burgess 6'9" | PF Lone Peak | 2025 State #214 Nation UT seems to be turning the corner in his development. Ike Staley Ike Staley 6'6" | SG Lone Peak | 2025 State UT needs to stay healthy and that will help players around them get better looks. Riverton had a great pre-season, they just need to get things rolling here again in region play. Tate Allred has been such a good lead guard and so has Evan Barrett. Ben Barrus Ben Barrus 6'4" | CG Riverton | 2024 State UT might need to take it up a notch here.

5A
So much inconsistent play makes it hard to gauge who is legit and who isn’t. Alta is lightyears away, bit the question is, have they peaked already? Sluggish win over West that was sloppy. 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 has been the best duo in the state in 5A. Highland has the team to beat anyone, can they get the right combinations out on the floor when they need stops, when they need to extend the leand and when they need to make a comeback. Isaiah Drisdom Isaiah Drisdom 6'0" | PG Highland | 2026 State UT is as good as advertised and Geroge McConkie is showing flashes. The big time player that can make big plays right now seems to be Sefa Brown Sefa Brown 6'5" | SF Highland | 2024 State UT . Like we said earlier they are deep. Orem has hit the next gear and Jax Allen Jax Allen 6'4" | CG Orem | 2025 State #391 Nation UT is playing better. Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT is playing better and chance Dastrup is one consistent player on the team that does his thing. Olympus is very talented and they will be battle tested win or lose and they are always a team to fear when Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT and Jordan barnes are in the game and the funny thing is that they never sub out. Timpview is young and they are playing with no fear. Dean Rueckert Dean Rueckert 6'7" | SF Timpview | 2026 State UT is a dude out there. Bountiful is tough and Carson Smith Carson Smith 6'6" | CG Bountiful | 2024 State UT has really blossomed this season. Brighton plays a scrappy style of play and Nash Matheson Nash Matheson 5'11" | PG Brighton | 2024 State UT just knows how to find ways to win. Skyline has been playing well and Landon Shaw Landon Shaw 6'6" | PF Skyline | 2024 State UT is they key to their wins. He is a bull down in the post. West Jordan might be in the worst region in 5A but they just keep winning. Springville has a shot to make a push here, they have some talent on the roster. Jamyn Sondrup Jamyn Sondrup 6'10" | C Springville | 2026 State UT is one of the best bigs in the state.

4A
Strength of schedule is the biggest thing that can help teams in 4A. Playing some cupcakes does nothing for you and that is why Dixie has always been ahead of the game. That is why Layton Christian has been ahead of the game. Kyle Lemke Kyle Lemke 6'9" | C Dixie | 2024 State UT is the best back to the basket big in the state. Tyrin Jones Tyrin Jones 6'9" | CG Layton Christian | 2025 State UT might be one of the most athletic wings in the state. Chris Cox Chris Cox 6'8" | SF Cottonwood | 2024 State UT might arguably be the best 3 man in the state. Quinton Christman Quinton Christman 5'10" | PG Murray | 2024 State UT might be the toughest cover among some great PG’s in 4A. These 4 teams are really good but they have company. Jordan Child Jordan Child 6'5" | CG Logan | 2024 State UT has been excellent for Logan this year. Nash Schroeder Nash Schroeder 6'2" | PG Pine View | 2024 State UT is putting up great numbers for Pine View. Conner Fairbanks Conner Fairbanks 6'4" | CG Mountain View | 2024 State UT and Bryce Mella Bryce Mella 6'5" | CG Mountain View | 2026 State UT have been a great duo and are starting to play well. Owen Mackay Owen Mackay 6'5" | CG Snow Canyon | 2024 State UT and Owen Iloa are tough at Snow Canyon. Jagger Francom Jagger Francom 6'8" | C Ridgeline | 2024 State UT and Carson Cox Carson Cox 6'4" | CG Ridgeline | 2024 State UT are as tough a dup as they come. Jared Anderson Jared Anderson 6'0" | SG Green Canyon | 2024 State UT is lights out at Green Canyon. 4A is going to be a blood bath.
