Cottonwood vs. Mountain View
Mountain View is trying to improve from a rough season last year as they struggled. They do have a few players that are young that can score. Bryce Mella Bryce Mella 6'5" | CG Mountain View | 2026 State UT is a good young player to watch as he can play the SF position as well at the wing position. Hunter Lapoua was a bright spot last season that could continue his improvement. On the other end Cottonwood has been waiting for this and this run with players like Aiden Oliphant who is bigger and more skilled than people think. Chris Cox Chris Cox 6'7" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2024 State AZ is an emerging talent that has upside. With a few D1 offers he is that player that will rack up more D1 looks from MM programs than people think. Chris is going to be the matchup problem as he is a big guard and he plays like it in the system.
Murray vs. Judge Memorial
One of the more anticipated debut of the year as Murray one of the best uptempo teams in the state tips off against Judge Memorial. Chudi Anosike Chudi Anosike 6'5" | CG Murray | 2023 State UT has been one of the most electrifying scorers in the state the past couple of years and he looks to end his senior year the same way. Chudi will be a tough cover for Dudge because of his size but Judge does a great job help-side. Look for Chudi to take what the defense gives him. That could lead to Chudi becoming the creator for shooters like Jaxson Workman Jaxson Workman 6'0" | SG Murray | 2023 State UT who is a high percentage shooter. He needs to be accounted for in the half-court because he will light it up.
Judge has a mixture of players that can play team ball and get it done. Longar Alor Longar Alor 6'6" | SF Judge Memorial | 2025 State UT is a player to watch as is Aaydan Saucedo Aaydan Saucedo 6'0" | CG Judge Memorial Catholic | 2024 State UT who both had balanced game 1’s already. There is a few other players on the roster over at Judge that will allow them to matchup well with Murray. Whoever controls the boards and makes three’s will win this game. Unless Chudi goes crazy like he has the capability of doing.
