It feels strange to call the defending state champions a Cinderella story but that’s kind of what Great Crossing feels like after they shocked the greater Lexington area by winning a stacked 11th region. Orem is the rare sophomore leading his team at the state tournament as his production has been incredible this season. Confident to fire away from 3-point range, that perimeter shooting development is crucial for Orem down the road. Scoring on offensive rebounds, the easiest way for bigs to score at the high school level is for them to do it themselves off the offensive glass and Orem is one of the best in the state at getting those extra possessions under the basket. Impressive run for Great Crossing as their team has played true team basketball in March. Fun to see Great Crossing continue to dance!
