We are trying to build the two or three best teams out of all teams and players in the region. Region 2 has always had players that play with grit and there is a lot of skill in the region that should be looked at.
1st Team
6’0 PG Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2023 ||
5’10 SG Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2024 ||
6’4 G Darius Henderson Darius Henderson 6'5" | PG Hunter | 2022 State UT || Hunter High School || 2022 ||
6’5 SF Gott Daw Gott Daw 6'5" | CG Kearns | 2022 State UT || Kearns High School || 2022 ||
6’6 W Justus Jackson-Fobbs Justus Jackson-Fobbs 6'6" | SF Cyprus | 2023 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2023 ||
Quentin was one of the hardest players to defend as he can score from anywhere on the floor. He has really picked up his level play defensively and is going to have a solid club and high school senior year moving forward. Diego was lights out and he continues to add dimensions to his game. Darius was a player that was overlooked. This kid has game. Stay tuned for him at the next level. Gott has shown his athleticism and will be a nice piece for a team next year. Justus when healthy is one of the best wings in the state.
2nd Team
6’1 G Amare Ames Amare Ames 6'1" | CG Kearns | 2022 State UT || Kearns High School || 2022 ||
6’7 SF James Gardner || Hunter High School || 2022 ||
6’0 PG Jovan Lee Jovan Lee 5'11" | PG Kearns | 2022 State UT || Kearns High School || 2022 ||
6’4 W MJ Tia MJ Tia 6'4" | SF Cyprus | 2022 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2023 ||
6’2 G Spencer Bessinger || Roy High School || 2022 ||
This team is comprised of a lot of players that have game. Amare can get hit really quick with his outside shooting and he has increased his range as well. James is another player over at Hunter that people didn’t watch a lot but he can play. MJ is one of the hardest working players out there as he does everything and anything to get a win. Spencer was a solid piece over at Roy and he will be missed.
3rd Team
6’0 PG Iv’Rson Lavizzo Iv’Rson Lavizzo 5'10" | PG Kearns | 2022 State UT || Kearns High School || 2022 ||
6’4 SF James Gavin James Gavin 6'4" | SF Taylorsville | 2022 State UT || Taylorsville High School || 2022 ||
6’4 SF John Gavin John Gavin 6'4" | SF Taylorsville | 2022 State UT || Taylorsville High School || 2022 ||
6’0 G Dominick Phannolath Dominick Phannolath 5'11" | CG Hunter | 2025 State UT || Hunter High School || 2024 ||
6’4 G Drysten Heard Drysten Heard 6'4" | SG Cyprus | 2022 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2022 ||
This team has some guys that need to be considered as a next level player like Lavizzo who is speedy and gets in the lane. James and John are tough and they have improved their outside shooting a lot. Drysren came a long way but he was a valuable piece on that Cyprus squad.
