This upcoming season might look the same at the top as the Bingham Miners bring back experience at the point guard position and a lot of size. Jordan Toscano Jordan Toscano 6'1" | PG Bingham | 2021 State UT battled injuries all year but was still able to post good numbers. Look for a healthier player at the point and see how far the Miners can go next season. He will need to have a few underclassmen step up but they should be ready.
Herriman might be able to make a jump here in this next year. They do lose some key players but they have some guys coming back that will fill in nicely. Bodi Nagely is a nice looking guard that is strong fast and can be a threat all over the court. They will need players that don’t have that much experience to fill that void left in the post and on the perimeter.
Copper Hills had a heavy laden senior squad but Carson Butler Carson Butler 6'1" | CG Copper Hills | 2021 State UT is a bright spot in players that return that could score. With a new team it could be difficult for Copper Hills to finish were they did this past season, but look for them to be tough and scrappy.
Don’t count out Jordan just yet. They have a shot at competing with Bingham when region play starts. Micah Ashman Micah Ashman 6'7" | CG Jordan | 2021 UT is a great prospect that often gets over looked because of the players on last seasons roster. Dante Martin Dante Martin 6'2" | CG Jordan | 2021 State UT is another player that returns for Jordan that will see an increase in production. Jordan also has a nice big in Tevita Mafileo Tevita Mafileo 6'6" | PF Alta | 2021 State UT .
The Riverton Silverwolves graduate on Applegate but gain another. Mitchell Applegate can play and with Cody Nixon Cody Nixon 6'4" | PG Riverton | 2021 State UT running besides him Riverton can turn into one of those run and gun styled offenses.
West has an interesting year coming up because they have been playing better and some of their contributors like Elijah Crockett Elijah Crockett 6'8" | SF West | 2021 State UT who has size and skill come back one more year. Don’t count West out because they will compete.
