6A
Herriman
The reason Herriman is a Dark Horse among some of the other teams that might be favovered like Lehi, Layton, American Fork and Corner Canyon is because they have a little bit of everything at every position that can either help them matchup up or handle size that they might face.
Guards
Ike Palmer Ike Palmer 6'6" | CG Herriman | 2024 State UT is a big guard that can score at all three levels and he will do work on a little guard and he has gotten quicker off the move and bounce to get buy defenders his size.
Carlo Mulford Carlo Mulford 6'0" | PG Herriman | 2026 State UT is a very skilled PG that can do what is needed from him to win some games. He can defend those quick little guards but he can also put pressure on teams with his ability to create.
Forwards
Malcom Johnson Malcom Johnson 6'6" | SF Herriman | 2024 State UT has really embraces the forward position and it has open up the posibilities to play even more positions at the next level. Here at the high school level he could go into the paint and dow work.
Cale Barclay Cale Barclay 6'8" | PF Herriman | 2025 State UT has been able to use that shooting, especially in the corners but he also mixes things up inside and he has put on a lot of muscle.
Overall
Herriman has an opportunity to really make the next move in this culture shift. They have the team and players to really take it to the next level.
Davis
The Darts have been playing with some added energy as of late.
Guard Play
Coleman Atwater Coleman Atwater 6'3" | PG Davis | 2025 State UT has been playing at an elite level. With his lead guard skills and shooting ability he really puts a ot of pressure on the defense because he will find open players when teams help.
Ike Morgan Ike Morgan 5'10" | PG Davis | 2024 State UT has had some good games but Davis could squeeze a little more out of him. He needs to start hitting at least 2 three-pointers a game to get to that other level.
Forwards
Zach Fisher Zach Fisher 6'7" | CG Davis | 2024 State UT , although Fisher at the next level is likely a 3 he has to play big at the high school level and if he knows when to pull bigs out and when to take smaller defenders inside he can get the most out of his skill set.
Easton Ralphs Easton Ralphs 6'7" | PF Davis | 2024 State UT , rebounding and defending is what he needs to excel at and clean up anything inside. He could be a huge role in some big upsets and wins.
5A
Springville
Springville has some really solid players that can score, they have one of the premier big men in the state and they have a few athletes. They have not peaked yet and they could surprise someone for sure.
The Big Fella
Jamyn Sondrup Jamyn Sondrup 6'10" | C Springville | 2026 State UT is built for the next level. His scoring ability when he trails is nice and is only getting better. He can do damage in the paint and on the glass. He still has room to develop.
Shooters
Mason Hansen Mason Hansen 6'1" | SG Springville | 2026 State UT has been known to be a good shooter, he has added a lot more to his bag but he is still a knockdown shooter for sure.
Andfew Miller is an athlete but he can step outside and let it fly. If he is on from deep this team could be major trouble.
4A
Logan
If Logan can keep their opponents under 60 points they have a high percentage of winning those games. they have a fewe players they can turnt to for scoring and they have some really good signature wins/.
Top Players
Jordan Child Jordan Child 6'5" | CG Logan | 2024 State UT is as good a SF as they come and that is regardless of classification. He is a double-double machine. Jaylen Argyle and Will Parkinson Will Parkinson 6'4" | SF Logan | 2024 State UT have also been studs this year and team is going to be a tough out.
Snow Canyon
Snow Canyon could be a sleeping Giant and with Owen Mackay Owen Mackay 6'5" | CG Snow Canyon | 2024 State UT looking healthy and playing care free this team could easily beat some higher seeded teams. Mackay is athletic but he can shoot the ball and play defense. He is getting some really good support from his teammates too. Drey Smith and Owen Iloa have had some elite moments. If this team can put it all together for 4 quarters they could surprise anyone.
