Playoff Reaction, WX vs. Bountiful and Friday Night Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6A Reactions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top of the bracket is not ideal for the overall 1 Seed. The top of the bracket has American Fork, Corner Canyon and Layton. If you were to pull 15 of the best players from these three teams alone they would likely win state in almost any state across the country. American Fork vs. Bingham stands out as they played earlier this year [player_tooltip player_id='1057050' first='Tiger' last='Cuff'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1278436' first='Luke' last='West'] and company are all playing well. Corner Canyon might be a team that is overwhelming especially with Derelle Desire and [player_tooltip player_id='1056969' first='Brody' last='Kozlowski'], bit PG has the 3 ball. Anything can happen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The bottom of the bracket is tough to and a Herriman team that has changed their culture could really make a run. Lehi might have something to say about that as Copper Lewis is playing at an absolute mind blowing pace. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5A Reactions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will Alta have a healthy [player_tooltip player_id='1057035' first='Ace' last='Reiser'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1298532' first='Jaxon' last='Johnson']? that is the question.West Jordan is dangerous and they are playing with nothing to lose. Coltan Blackham is legit. Although WZ loss last night they are playing better and [player_tooltip player_id='1185170' first='Hunter' last='Jackson'] has been playing at the highest level.Olympus might be the hottest team in all of 5A. Dowdell is 8 three-pointers away from being the all-time three-point leader in the state. 5A is up in the air. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4A Reaction</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is probably my favorite bracket. The RPI got it right and at the end of the day we can see a LCA, Dixie, Cottonwood and Ridgeline Final 4. LCA got the controversial 1 seed. [player_tooltip player_id='2301424' first='Chris' last='Cox'] is a big game changer for Cottonwood. [player_tooltip player_id='1185179' first='Kyle' last='Lemke'] is playing like Superman and I am not sure if anyone in the bracket has the Kryptonite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>WX vs. Bountiful</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Best Players on the Floor Last Night</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1185170"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Hunter is seeing the game differently. Just watching his eyes and what he is looking for, he does not have to look back at his coach to change a play or make an adjustment. His ability to read the defense is really QB'esk. Hunter found his range and then he went to the high post to work the matchup-zone. Hunter is attacking the rim with eyes wide open taking advantage of angles and even who is in the paint waiting. He was quick on rip and goes and he was changing speeds. Drew a face guard later in the game but his movement and activity still impacted the game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d10796ad965"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2352577"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Best athlete on the floor and he was all over the place.

He really broke WX's back when he stepped out and hit a lefty 3 that really put that game a little out of reach.
