<p>Let's take a look at who are the favorites. in each of these 4 classifications and we will pick the 4 favorites regardless of record.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>6A</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Corner Canyon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Layton</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lehi</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>American Fork</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Size and scoring among these 4 teams. Layton has three of the best guards in the Class of 2024 all on the same team and they are starting to click and spread the love. [player_tooltip player_id='1057044' first='David' last='Katoa'] really changes things but Mekhi martin is having a fantastic year. [player_tooltip player_id='1057041' first='KJ' last='Miller'] is shooting lights out. Even if undersized they can hang with anyone. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lehi might not have a lot of size but they play hard, they play the right way and they can score. Copper Lewis is having a phenominal year. [player_tooltip player_id='1164729' first='Easton' last='Hawkins'] is taking his game to the next level and they just have guards that can shoot and score. They will be a tough out and when they are on, they can beat anyone. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>AF looks like they are getting healthy and if [player_tooltip player_id='1115954' first='Reece' last='Dent'] is at full health it gives this team one more weapon that [player_tooltip player_id='1057050' first='Tiger' last='Cuff'] can go to. [player_tooltip player_id='1538434' first='Blake' last='Rawson'] is a beast in the paint and he can defend. If they can get [player_tooltip player_id='1057025' first='Diego' last='Mulford'] going and continue to get big plays from Jared Shepherd, this team is scary. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The scariest team right now is Corner Canyon. Kozlowski is back. [player_tooltip player_id='1877115' first='Taylor' last='Feroah'] is playing well and [player_tooltip player_id='1190621' first='Noah' last='Bendinger'] seems to continue to gain strength and momentum. The two big difference makers have been [player_tooltip player_id='1190620' first='Bryton' last='Valdes'] and Derelle Desire. Bryton a true PG that gets the ball to all teammates and he can score and shoot if he needs to. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>5A</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Alta</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Olympus</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Orem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Highland</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Highland is a sleeping GIANT. they have the horses to beat anyone, they just need to find the right combinations. [player_tooltip player_id='1278450' first='Isaiah' last='Drisdom'] is really talented. [player_tooltip player_id='1551411' first='George' last='McConkie'] could be a force if he finishes all the bunnies. [player_tooltip player_id='1066745' first='Sefa' last='Brown'] is a super athlete. The list goes on and on. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Orem is getting a lot more out of [player_tooltip player_id='1164726' first='Jax' last='Allen'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1260479' first='Chance' last='Dastrup'] is one of the most underrated PG's in the state. [player_tooltip player_id='1278444' first='Kai' last='Wesley'] is turning the corner and if [player_tooltip player_id='2045987' first='Tate' last='Robinson'] can get lose this team is scary too. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Olympus is that team that learns and figures things out. They adjust better than most. You can never count out [player_tooltip player_id='1057020' first='Jordan' last='Barnes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1057034' first='Dutch' last='Dowdell']. They are starting to get ore production from other players as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Alta is a machine and the crazy part is that they have not peaked yet. [player_tooltip player_id='1298532' first='Jaxon' last='Johnson'] continues to build his resume for Mr. Basketball. [player_tooltip player_id='1057035' first='Ace' last='Reiser'] continues to prove he belongs on a D1 roster. This team is the #1 team in the state. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>4A </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dixie</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Layton Christian</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Provo</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cottonwood/Murray</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dixie is he team to beat but there are a lot of teams picking up steam. [player_tooltip player_id='1185179' first='Kyle' last='Lemke'] will not be stopped and if Dixie's guards shoot the ball well they will raise that UHSAA Trophy at the end of the day. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cottonwood and Murray might be the most dangerous teams in the class. Murray has guards that never end and they can all score. [player_tooltip player_id='1115933' first='Quinton' last='Christman'] is very underrated and he can hoop. On the flip side you have chris Cox as he might be the best 3 man in the state and if they can figure out how to get stops against some of the better teams they have a shot. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Provo has two dudes that can play with anyone. [player_tooltip player_id='1115971' first='Aaron' last='Castagnetto'] has been elite. Provo went into LCA and came out with a win. If they keep their level of play high they could make a run.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>LCA has the pieces and [player_tooltip player_id='1575685' first='Tyrin' last='Jones'] one of the fastest rising wings in the country. He is the difference maker on this team. </p>
