Tarkanian Classic Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every year a lot of Utah teams head to Vegas to showcase their talents against teams from all over the country. Excited to track our local teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Platinum Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Layton Christian vs. Corona Centennial (CA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LCA will have their hands full with this California Power. They have a talented backcourt and that includes Isaiah Rodgers. Look for LCA to use their presence inside with [player_tooltip player_id='2304482' first='Alan' last='Gballou'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Timpview vs. St. Joseph's (PA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a great test for Timpview as they will take on a team loaded with D1 talent. Jaron McKie is one of the best shooters in the country heading to Dayton. Timpview has been getting great play from [player_tooltip player_id='1278505' first='Mason' last='Ford'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1960159' first='Lincoln' last='Holcombe'] as of late. They will need those two to step up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nike Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>American Fork vs. Liberty (NV)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AF has an opportunity to continue to grow as they will still be without [player_tooltip player_id='1439711' first='Bryce' last='Mella'] for the next few tournaments. [player_tooltip player_id='2089441' first='Jax' last='Clark'] has been great and they are getting solid play from [player_tooltip player_id='1724369' first='Jax' last='Oyler'] as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Spalding Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bingham vs. Rancho (NV)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Miners have been playing well and their intense defense is the key. That will help them at The Trak as defense usually travels no matter where you go. [player_tooltip player_id='1278436' first='Luke' last='West'] and Parker Sneadeker have been great. [player_tooltip player_id='1146657' first='Jason' last='Peterson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2539814' first='Denzel' last='Peoples'] will need to be huge this tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gatorade Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alta vs. Lakeridge (OR)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lakeridge has a few shooters on the team that Alta will need to defend but this is going to be a great coming out party for a player like Hayden Anderson who is playing very well. [player_tooltip player_id='1278438' first='Dash' last='Reiser'] is another player that could go off as he is one of those fearless player that is always on the go. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Baller TV Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lehi vs. Silverado (NV)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Silverado has some good guards but they do not have the horses that Lehi has and this would not be a surprise if Lehi thrashes in this game. Excited to see [player_tooltip player_id='1164729' first='Easton' last='Hawkins'] get after it and look for [player_tooltip player_id='1724360' first='Ashton' last='Shewell'] to be good as well as Cooper Young. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Orleans Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Viewmont vs. Victory Christian (CA)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Viewmont will need a lot from [player_tooltip player_id='1146687' first='Drezdon' last='Jensen'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1305933' first='Cache' last='Tuia'] to make a run in this bracket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ball Dawgs Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spanish Fork vs. Merced (CA)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look for [player_tooltip player_id='2530824' first='Gage' last='Christensen'] and Caleb Cabrera</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payson vs. El Rancho (CA)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payson head to this tournament undefeated at 7-0 and with 3 players scoring in double digits. Micha Swasey and Zander Theobald alng with Legend Reynosa have been consistently playing well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>JK2 Apparel Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>South Summit vs. Juneau-Douglas (AK)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's time for [player_tooltip player_id='2296177' first='Logan' last='Woolstenhulme'] to ball out. This kid so fun to watch and they have a chance to run this bracket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hoops Basket Bracket</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan vs. Dominguez (CA)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan will play against Dominguez who has been good in the past but is down this year. Jordan will need a lot from [player_tooltip player_id='2541083' first='Holden' last='Warnick'] in this one. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
