6A Playoff Clash: Lehi vs. Layton

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lehi enters this game with a 9-13 record, but they possess a dangerous team and player capable of taking over the game and leading their team to victory. Lehi has competed with the best teams in the state and has played high-quality basketball in their last two games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Layton has been in the conversation as one of the best teams in the state the entire year. With 6A being so up and down, the Lancers also have a player that they can lean on when they need a bucket. Layton is 16-8 coming into this matchup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While both teams have common opponents, they have not faced each other this year. This one should be a great clash between two programs playing some good ball right now. The 2 top scorers in 6A face off in this one. Get your popcorn out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Top Tier Talent</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1724360' first='Ashton' last='Shewell'], Lehi</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shewell is a dynamic player who thrives off screens, always finding a way to score. When Lehi employs Iverson-style sets, he becomes a must-guard, as his ability to shoot from deep becomes a major threat if left open. He demonstrates versatility by scoring effectively both inside on cuts and by creating space to shoot from long range. Shewell is a highly sought-after Division 1 prospect with a promising future, already attracting significant attention from college programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1724368' first='Karter' last='Miller'], Layton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller is a player who can go get you a bucket, and he can do it at all three-levels. He has range out beyond the arc. If you play him too high and too close, he has enough wiggle to get by and create. When you talk about players with a big-time motor, Miller is among them. Miller is also a Division 1 prospect who has a chance to not only increase his stock but also help his team advance to the Elite 8. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Role Players That Could Step Up</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2024649"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6998b0e7af2f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howe is a lengthy wing that can play in different areas of the floor. His ability to spread the floor with some shooting at 6'7 helps open up lanes. When he is used as a screener, he is always a threat to either get inside and be a threat around the rim or pop and be a threat out in the perimeter. He could be a key role player in this game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Nic Anderson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Layton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6998b0e7af437"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson is a shooter, and if his teammates can find him or if players leave to help on a player like [player_tooltip player_id='1724368' first='Karter' last='Miller'], it will help Anderson get open. Anderson is a shot maker, and he could be the role player Layton needs in this one. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Players That Could Make a Difference</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2539980' first='Trevor' last='Anderson'], Lehi</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson is a 6'1 senior who helps his team so much when it comes to rebounds. He is one of the better rebounding guards for Lehi, and oftentimes he is a 5+ a game rebounder, which is huge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2844420' first='Isaac' last='Thompson'], Layton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thompson has a chance to come up huge in this one.
