June: Summer Team Rankings 5A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If last year proved anything, it proved that anyone is beatable. Olympus is a machine that pumps out role players like crazy and no matter what you look likr on paper you can have a bad game and get bounced from the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 Timpview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Is this the year of the T-Birds. They have a new coach and almost everyone coming back. [player_tooltip player_id='1278505' first='Mason' last='Ford'] has been really good on the ball and [player_tooltip player_id='1960159' first='Lincoln' last='Holcombe'] has been good as well. [player_tooltip player_id='1278448' first='Dean' last='Rueckert'] has been playing as one of the top players in the country. Will Openshaw has emerged as a very good D1 prospect and [player_tooltip player_id='1960161' first='Callen' last='Tollestrup'] could be a matchup problem for everyone. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 Olympus</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278502' first='Gavin' last='Lowe'] is really good and he was great against some good guards at Section 7, especially against La Mirada (CA). [player_tooltip player_id='1724356' first='Davian' last='Lazarus'] has been playing better than we have seen him play. [player_tooltip player_id='1278441' first='Caden' last='Jackson'] is solid. The rest of the squad will need to step up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#3 Springville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Can Springville get [player_tooltip player_id='1278439' first='Jamyn' last='Sondrup'] all the touches he needs down in the paint is going to be the question. He has a few good guards around him in [player_tooltip player_id='1278449' first='Mason' last='Hansen'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1724426' first='Swift' last='Hall']. This team has a chance to run things for sure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Pleasant Grove</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PG has a few players that could be huge for them to make a run as well. [player_tooltip player_id='2125357' first='Brennan' last='Blackett'] is one of them as he has turned into one of the best stock risers in his class. [player_tooltip player_id='1724363' first='Preston' last='White'] is a great option. [player_tooltip player_id='1598261' first='Jaxon' last='Brown'] is good and so is Milo Johansen. They have the shooting and length to compete in 5A!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 Alta</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alta suffered a tough loss as [player_tooltip player_id='1278501' first='Zack' last='Paepke'] is out but they will ask more of [player_tooltip player_id='1278438' first='Dash' last='Reiser'] and he is mor ethan capable as a high percentage scorer. If he can create the separation he has a high quality jumper. Colin Hansen will need to step up his game, especially from beyond the arc. Look for Coby Goodfellow to also step up his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#6 Cyprus</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cyprus finds a way to build a program regardless who is on the roster. Koli Fosita is talented and so is [player_tooltip player_id='1547879' first='Beckham' last='Bayles']. They have some young pieces emerging and if they can learn to play together they could be a surprise and upset some one along the way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#7 Bountiful</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bountiful will have a skilled guard coming back in [player_tooltip player_id='2732870' first='Lincoln' last='Smith'] and Bpuntiful has. lot of hungry propects waiting their turn to see the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#8 Wasatch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wasatch will rely heavily on [player_tooltip player_id='1786751' first='JJ' last='Serre'] which is not a bad thing. He is a high caliber player that could easily carry a team. [player_tooltip player_id='1960164' first='Nate' last='Hinckley'] and Carson Behnke could make this team a dark horse in 5A. Do not dismiss the Wasps. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#9 Viewmont</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2861639' first='Carson' last='Tovey'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2823251' first='Adam' last='Henderson'] look to surprise everyone this year. They played well in Section 7, getting to an event like that could help build for the future. You will see more out of [player_tooltip player_id='2539674' first='Lukus' last='Toner'] as well. This team has teh right pieces to be solid this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#10 Woods Cross</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WX has a really talented player that has been developing in [player_tooltip player_id='1724359' first='Madden' last='Johnsen']. Look for [player_tooltip player_id='2380893' first='Elliot' last='Bendinger'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1959042' first='Bryson' last='Watson'] to be much improved and the ball should be moving around quickly and they could be a tough team to defend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
