Continue ReadingThe 3A State Tournament will be underway in a few days as schools from across the state invade Orem High School as all 1st Round games will be played at The Orem Fieldhouse. Sixteen teams will make their case on the court for the 3A Ship.
The Front Runners:
Providence Hall has been underrated by the newspaper people for some odd reason. Oh, yeah maybe because they don’t get out and watch games. Coach Blake Pugmire has put in a lot of work for the past few years to bring Providence Hall to this level of play. He has done it the right way as well. Not only does Providence Hall have arguably one of the best players in 3A in Marcus Sherwood but he has had him for 4 years and now he has his little brother. They have the best record in all of 3A.
The other front runners include Morgan and Manti. These teams are well coached and can adapt to any style of play.
Dark Horse:
Judge Memorial High School will be a tough out. They open up with Delta and there will be a great match-up between Mac Tarver and Derek Smith, both players can score. South Summit will also be another team to be weary of.
Final 4:
These are the teams we think will reach the final 4.
Morgan vs. Providence Hall
Manti vs. Delta
Bracket Buster Teams:
South Sevier and Grand
Wouldn’t want to face these teams.
Players to Watch:
Marcus Sheerwood- Providence Hall
Mac Tarver- Judge Memorial
Kyson Stillson- Emery
Derek Smith-Delta
Trey Miles-Morgan
Mason Thompson – Manti
Keatz King- South Sevier
When it’s all said and done. The number one seeds will be tough outs. The biggest factor will be if they can make shots in the big arenas after the 1st round.
