It seems like it might be back to what it use to be with the addition of a few new coaches and players transferring due to moves to their school. Grantsville and Judge Memorial will likely be tough teams to contend with but beware of a few other returning some solid teams.
Judge Memorial brings back some solid players and on paper they look like the team to beat in Region 13. Dominic Burns has been showing out this summer. Nico Smith Nico Smith 6'1" | SG Judge Memorial | 2021 State UT has also show his ability to shoot the ball really well from deep witch could come in handy with the type of players returning like, Gott Daw Gott Daw 6'5" | CG Kearns | 2022 State UT and Makaiah Tarver.
Grantsville gets a nice break as they have brought on a high profile coach that is young and energetic and could really get the best out of their players. Grantsville returns a solid core that will be able to play against teams that speed it up or slow it down.
The team to really watch is Summit Academy who returns two solid players in Zach Engelbright and Cody Knight Cody Knight 6'6" | SF Summit Academy | 2021 State UT . they have also bolstered their role players as they have been getting some valuable experience playing up as freshman and sophomores. Look for Summit Academy to really surprise some teams. They also have some more young players that will find their way on the floor and can contribute right away.
South Summit is a team to watch out for as well as they play hard on every play. Payton Sanderson is a player that comes back that can really score. Dawson Broadbent is another palyer that will pick up the scoring and could lead SSHS to some solid wins.
Providence Hall is coming off of a 1 win season. With two double-digit scorers they should be able to have a more successful season as Dusty Mortensen Dusty Mortensen 6'0" | CG Providence Hall | 2021 State UT and Aaron Thueson return.
Morgan was hit with the graduation bug and they will need all hands on deck to have another successful year in basketball. Sam Hansen will need to really step up his game and with a lot more shots coming his way look for his three-point shooting to get better.
