<p><strong>#1 Dixie</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Not only do they likely have the toughest schedule, but they also have a chance to improve in the pre-season and get better. [player_tooltip player_id='2148482' first='Collin' last='Simmons'] is starting to take the next step in his development. They have a Glue Guy like Jackson Winters on the team. [player_tooltip player_id='2460889' first='Asher' last='Spence'] is talented, and Zach Jensen and Ammon Ashton have been great early on. Dixie looks great to start the season.</p>

<p><strong>#2 Pine View</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pine View has 3 games on the schedule that are coming up that will be very important win or lose. Coach Amico will have them rolling early and late and this team is talented enough to take the whole thing this year. [player_tooltip player_id='1960175' first='Jelani' last='Odjegba'] has found his game and he is ready to play at a high level. HM D2 player for sure. </p>

<p><strong>#3 Cottonwood</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cottonwood might have the best two wins against some tough 5A and 6A teams. [player_tooltip player_id='2895644' first='Malei' last='Atem'] is playing some really good basketball right now, and he has a big-time motor. College coaches need to be on the watch for him. [player_tooltip player_id='1598267' first='Tengis' last='Bayasgalan'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2274390' first='Luka' last='Cecez'] are tough!</p>

<p><strong>#4 Juan Diego</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Juan Diego High School (JDCHS) is currently performing admirably, with the team on the cusp of welcoming back their coach after one more game. [player_tooltip player_id='2841025' first='Deng' last='Deng'] demonstrates significant potential and, if he maintains his current level of performance throughout the season, he could earn a Letterman Division 1 (LM D1) scholarship offer. [player_tooltip player_id='1960136' first='Javier' last='Aguirre'], who is currently underrated, possesses the capability to become a Division 3 (D3) player. While the team anticipates a series of challenging matches in the near future, they are well-prepared to face these obstacles.</p>

<p><strong>#5 Crimson Cliffs</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This team is legitimate and plays with a fast-paced, high-scoring style. They boast a roster of talented players they can rely on, and McKay Lindquist has emerged as a key leader for them so far this season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#6 Provo</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Provo Bulldogs face a rigorous schedule this year. Their current record shouldn't overshadow their potential, as they are poised to make a significant impact once the 50% rule is lifted. [player_tooltip player_id='1598259' first='Makai' last='Allen'] is a driving force for this team, consistently delivering exceptional performances and is expected to continue this trend.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#7 Timpanogos </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Timpaogos has a brutal schedule. They have played some ofthe best teams in the state early and they have a few more on the schedule. They have been on the game against these teams. A Jaxen Mccuiston lead team is tough and he is putting up big numbers.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#8 Judge Memorial</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most capable teams in the state, they have also suffered from challenging schedules. There is no reason they shouldn't be in contention by the end of the season. The next few games will be difficult, but they have the players needed to make a strong push. They boast seven players capable of spreading the floor. Once they are at full strength, they should be competing among the top five teams.</p>

<p><strong>#9 Park City</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Luke Price and Bridger Lapin are averaging 40 points per game (PPG). Park City is a team to be reckoned with. With one of the best scoring guards in the state, capable of going toe-to-toe with another top scorer in 6A, they have a real chance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#10 Hurricane</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Hurricane team is currently on a strong winning streak, and they haven't even reached their full shooting potential yet. Bridger Kemp is a standout player, and Hurricane is expected to compete strongly in region play and be a formidable opponent in the playoffs.</p>
