Circle The Date: 5 Must Watch Games

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>November 17th</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bingham vs. Timpview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>New Coaches Clash</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bingham will enter the Dam McClure era, and Timpview enters the Issac Faldmo era. Both teams look to continue the winning traditions and we will have some new names emerge as leaders for both respective teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bingham</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'3 G/W [player_tooltip player_id='2477808' first='Owen' last='Bagley'] has been a player on the rise, and with last season's success, he is a player who brings back a lot of experience. He can be on the ball, driving and creating with his hands, but he is also tough inside. He will take a much more aggressive approach this year and could lead the team in scoring. Another guard who could have a breakout year is Carson Edmonds; look for the 6'3 CG to have the ball in his hands a lot this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Others: [player_tooltip player_id='2604926' first='Logan' last='Goncalves'], [player_tooltip player_id='2675050' first='Brady' last='Peterson'], Derek Peterson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Timpview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Timpview will be young this year, and you will see more of [player_tooltip player_id='2400288' first='Taj' last='Taylor'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2194688' first='Jackson' last='Ford']. These two have the most experience returning, and as Timpview always does, they will reload and have players who did not play a lot of varsity, make a name for themselves, as they have graduated a handful of college players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>November 25th</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lone Peak vs. Pleasant Grove</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Heavyweight Matchup</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In state, Clash is going to be a sold-out arena. Both teams are among the best in their classification. LP and PGHS are arguably the best teams in 6A and 5A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lone Peak</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Knights have 3 signees who will headline their team, including [player_tooltip player_id='1724367' first='Saxon' last='Young'] (Westminster), [player_tooltip player_id='2084384' first='Camden' last='Broadhead'] (Point Loma), and [player_tooltip player_id='1724365' first='Crew' last='Fotheringham'] (Utah State). These three will be the toughest trio in the state, and they have a shot to show why they are so good against one of the best 5A teams in late November. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Pleasant Grove</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2899860' first='Oliver' last='Mosman'] inside can hold his own against anyone, and [player_tooltip player_id='2125357' first='Brennan' last='Blackett'] (St.Mary's) is among the best wings in the West. [player_tooltip player_id='3585249' first='Cooper' last='Young'] is a gem of a point guard. This is going to be a battle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>December 2nd</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summit Academy vs. American Heritage </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Featherweight Match</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game is going to be an up-and-down game featuring two teams that like to play fast. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>American Heritage</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2422947' first='Jackson' last='Black'] will lead them at the PG position, and he will have a high flyer in [player_tooltip player_id='3471740' first='Josue' last='Kajinga']. These two will make anyone's life tough; Black can really shoot, and Kajinga is a monster inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summit Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2809832' first='Victor' last='Lopez'] and [player_tooltip player_id='3684156' first='Robby' last='Dupuy'] are a team that likes to run and gun. This game could be in the 80s the way they have been playing this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>December 4th</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis vs. Highland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Two Teams That Reloaded</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis has proven to reload every year, and Highland is in the same boat since Coach Jones has taken over. This game is going to be interesting and could go either way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highland will feature players who are ready to take the floor after not getting on the floor a lot because of a loaded roster in the past few years. Clint Lillie is one of them. He is a kid who is about 6'5 " and has been playing at a high level. Then you have the dynamic guard with size and strength, [player_tooltip player_id='3035703' first='Harry' last='Hendrix']. Surrounded by shooters, Highland will have a tough team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1611276' first='Bode' last='Sparrow'] is ready to lead this team, as he has finished an outstanding football career that will take him to Oklahoma. He will have a solid next-level running mate in [player_tooltip player_id='2194676' first='Owen' last='Barney'] and a shooter in [player_tooltip player_id='2194683' first='Graham' last='Moultrie'], and Davis is well coached; this game should be a battle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>December 9th</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olympus vs. Riverton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Titans of 5A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olympus at #1, death, and taxes. Those are things that will surely happen every year. Olympus finds ways to reload every year. Riverton is looking to turn the corner this year, with some talent coming back and some new names coming in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olympus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1724356' first='Davian' last='Lazarus'] is a legit Division 1 prospect. He is a player with that frame you look for at the D1 level. He shoots the ball; he passes and rebounds. Lazarus might be one of the best unsigned players in the Class of 2027. Olympus players care more about the name on the front than the name on the back. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riverton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riverton returns some important players, and a [player_tooltip player_id='2446881' first='Carter' last='Milbourn']-led team might surprise some teams this year. Bennett Attwood will be solid for Riverton, and keep an eye on [player_tooltip player_id='2521692' first='Hudson' last='Fox']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
