Final Team Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Independent Teams</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 Wasatch Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Utah Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Layton Christian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The amount of talent on all three teams is off teh charts. this seems like it will only get better at LCA and Utah Prep. Wasatch Academy has a sanding record of producing next level talent. Players like Tyran Jones, Isiaah Harwell, [player_tooltip player_id='1532662' first='JJ' last='Mandaquit'] and Aj Dybansta have been household names for the past few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 Olympus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 Davis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Herriman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Highland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Orem</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olympus has proven to be a dynasty and it is a next man up mentality. The scariest part of their team is that they bring back a lot of talent. [player_tooltip player_id='1278502' first='Gavin' last='Lowe'], [player_tooltip player_id='1724356' first='Davian' last='Lazarus'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1278441' first='Caden' last='Jackson'] will be tough to stop. Davis is anothe rteam that has built a Top 5 program year in and year out. [player_tooltip player_id='1272410' first='Coleman' last='Atwater'] was unreal and although he graduates they bring back a lot of really good players like [player_tooltip player_id='1611276' first='Bode' last='Sparrow'] and Traedon Bessinger as well as [player_tooltip player_id='1278451' first='JT' last='Turley']. Herriman will have a new look but do not count them out because they still have [player_tooltip player_id='1278442' first='Carlo' last='Mulford'] and they will get a full year out of [player_tooltip player_id='1724357' first='Stone' last='Tia']. Highland is another team that will have talent coming back in [player_tooltip player_id='1278440' first='Soren' last='Ries'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1278450' first='Isaiah' last='Drisdom'] just to name a few. Orem graduates a lot of talent and will be in a rebuilding faze. Look for [player_tooltip player_id='2306605' first='Simeon' last='Suguturaga'] to take the lead. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 Layton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 Corner Canyon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 Timpview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 Bingham</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Westlake</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Layton is another team that has been in the mix every year. They lose some talent in Jonha Fullmer and [player_tooltip player_id='1568152' first='Sam' last='Romer'] but they bring back [player_tooltip player_id='1724368' first='Karter' last='Miller']. Corner Canyon is just a program that reloads and although they lose [player_tooltip player_id='1190620' first='Bryton' last='Valdes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1190621' first='Noah' last='Bendinger'] they will get players like Mo Brown, [player_tooltip player_id='1724355' first='Diesel' last='Dart'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1278437' first='Tyler' last='Mortensen'] to step up. Timpview might be among the best teams bringing back talent and they will be led once again by [player_tooltip player_id='1278448' first='Dean' last='Rueckert']. Bingham is one of those reload programs as well and they will rely on [player_tooltip player_id='1278436' first='Luke' last='West'] and Parker Sneadeker and if they can get elite play from Luke Neidig they will be in the conversation. Westlake plays a hard nose style of ball and they lose Symon Su'a but they return [player_tooltip player_id='1476918' first='Graydin' last='Anderson']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#11 Payson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#12 Green Canyon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 Bountiful</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#14 Alta</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#15 Brighton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payson had an unreal year and they only return [player_tooltip player_id='2383224' first='Joseph' last='Wolfe']. Green Canyon had a solid year as well and they return a few players but they will have a different look. Bountiful will be a different look team but look out for [player_tooltip player_id='2732870' first='Lincoln' last='Smith'] he has a shot to make a big jump next season. Alta has a few pieces coming back in [player_tooltip player_id='1278438' first='Dash' last='Reiser'] and Zak Peapke. Brighton will have a new look team but they always find a way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#16 Springville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#17 Juan Diego</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#18 Morgan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#19 Dixie</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#20 Lone Peak</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Springville will need a lot out of [player_tooltip player_id='1278449' first='Mason' last='Hansen'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'] but look out for [player_tooltip player_id='1724426' first='Swift' last='Hall']. Juan Diego will find a way to reload. Morgan has some good players coming back and they could be in the running for a repeat. Dixie is a program that always finds a way, look for [player_tooltip player_id='2148482' first='Collin' last='Simmons'] to make a leap. Lone Peak could be a team that makes a vast improvement this coming season. Look out for Krew Fotheringham. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#21 Ridgeline</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#22 Richfield</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#23 Timpanogos</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#24 American Heritage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#25 Cottonwood</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cottonwood had a great run with [player_tooltip player_id='1146659' first='John' last='Rosevear'] and it looks like the next man up Is [player_tooltip player_id='2274390' first='Luka' last='Cecez']. American Heritage has some talent in shooter Jackson black and elite PG [player_tooltip player_id='2022332' first='Mana' last='Winitana']. They will be tough. Timpanogos could be a surprise team next season with Jaxen McCusition coming back. Richfield was tough this season and they have a hidden gem in [player_tooltip player_id='1960166' first='Jorgen' last='Southwick']. Ridgeline was a surprise this season. Next season look for them to do the same. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
