6A
Corner Canyon
Layton
Lehi
American Fork
Size and scoring among these 4 teams. Layton has three of the best guards in the Class of 2024 all on the same team and they are starting to click and spread the love. David Katoa David Katoa 6'4" | CG Layton | 2024 State #255 Nation UT really changes things but Mekhi martin is having a fantastic year. KJ Miller KJ Miller 6'3" | CG Layton | 2024 State UT is shooting lights out. Even if undersized they can hang with anyone.
Lehi might not have a lot of size but they play hard, they play the right way and they can score. Copper Lewis is having a phenominal year. Easton Hawkins Easton Hawkins 6'4" | CG Lehi | 2025 State UT is taking his game to the next level and they just have guards that can shoot and score. They will be a tough out and when they are on, they can beat anyone.
AF looks like they are getting healthy and if Reece Dent Reece Dent 6'8" | SF American Fork | 2024 State UT is at full health it gives this team one more weapon that Tiger Cuff Tiger Cuff 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2024 State UT can go to. Blake Rawson Blake Rawson 6'8" | PF American Fork | 2024 State UT is a beast in the paint and he can defend. If they can get Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT going and continue to get big plays from Jared Shepherd, this team is scary.
The scariest team right now is Corner Canyon. Kozlowski is back. Taylor Feroah Taylor Feroah 6'7" | SG Corner Canyon | 2024 State UT is playing well and Noah Bendinger Noah Bendinger 6'3" | CG Corner Canyon | 2025 State UT seems to continue to gain strength and momentum. The two big difference makers have been Bryton Valdes Bryton Valdes 5'10" | PG Corner Canyon | 2025 State UT and Derelle Desire. Bryton a true PG that gets the ball to all teammates and he can score and shoot if he needs to.
5A
Alta
Olympus
Orem
Highland
Highland is a sleeping GIANT. they have the horses to beat anyone, they just need to find the right combinations. Isaiah Drisdom Isaiah Drisdom 6'0" | PG Highland | 2026 State UT is really talented. George McConkie George McConkie 6'8" | C Highland | 2024 State UT could be a force if he finishes all the bunnies. Sefa Brown Sefa Brown 6'5" | SF Highland | 2024 State UT is a super athlete. The list goes on and on.
Orem is getting a lot more out of Jax Allen Jax Allen 6'4" | CG Orem | 2025 State #391 Nation UT and Chance Dastrup Chance Dastrup 5'10" | PG Orem | 2025 State UT is one of the most underrated PG’s in the state. Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT is turning the corner and if Tate Robinson Tate Robinson 6'2" | SG Orem | 2026 State UT can get lose this team is scary too.
Olympus is that team that learns and figures things out. They adjust better than most. You can never count out 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 . They are starting to get ore production from other players as well.
Alta is a machine and the crazy part is that they have not peaked yet. Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT continues to build his resume for Mr. Basketball. Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT continues to prove he belongs on a D1 roster. This team is the #1 team in the state.
4A
Dixie
Layton Christian
Provo
Cottonwood/Murray
Dixie is he team to beat but there are a lot of teams picking up steam. Kyle Lemke Kyle Lemke 6'9" | C Dixie | 2024 State UT will not be stopped and if Dixie’s guards shoot the ball well they will raise that UHSAA Trophy at the end of the day.
Cottonwood and Murray might be the most dangerous teams in the class. Murray has guards that never end and they can all score. Quinton Christman Quinton Christman 5'10" | PG Murray | 2024 State UT is very underrated and he can hoop. On the flip side you have chris Cox as he might be the best 3 man in the state and if they can figure out how to get stops against some of the better teams they have a shot.
Provo has two dudes that can play with anyone. Aaron Castagnetto Aaron Castagnetto 6'1" | PG Provo | 2024 State UT has been elite. Provo went into LCA and came out with a win. If they keep their level of play high they could make a run.
LCA has the pieces and Tyrin Jones Tyrin Jones 6'9" | CG Layton Christian | 2025 State UT one of the fastest rising wings in the country. He is the difference maker on this team.
