Game 1
Westlake vs. Timpanogos
This game is actually not on the schedule but it was put together last minutes because both of these teams opponets had to cancel. Timpanogos makes the trek to Westlake where we will have a legit 5A vs. 6A battle. Westlake has been one of the better teams that plays some tough defense. This will actually be a great pre-season test for Timpanogos.
Players to Watch:
Westlake
6’9 Hunter Phillips Hunter Phillips 6'9" | C Westlake | 2021 State UT
6’6 Keilan Torkonoo
6’3 Noah McCord Noah McCord 6'3" | SG Westlake | 2021 State UT
Breakdown: Noa McCord is one of the best defenders in the state and there is a lot of pride that he takes in that. He is tough and plays the game with a lot of passion and energy. He is a player you never have to ask for effort. He will be fun to watch possible either cover Holcombe and Scott. When it comes to bigs Hunter Phillips Hunter Phillips 6'9" | C Westlake | 2021 State UT really knows how to set the tone. He is strong and physical on the blocks. Then you get this sleeper of the radar kid like Keilan Torkonoo who is just as physical but probably heavier and he can shoot the long ball.
Timpanogos
6’6 Jackson Holcombe Jackson Holcombe 6'6" | CG Timpanogos | 2021 State UT
6’3 Gavin Scott
6’9 Bron Roberts Bron Roberts 6'11" | SF Pleasant Grove | 2023 State UT
Breakdown: Jackson Holcombe Jackson Holcombe 6'6" | CG Timpanogos | 2021 State UT just gets better every game. The kid shoots it at a high percentage and he has play making ability. He can create his own shot and create for others. Gavin and company might get a lot of open opportunities with Holcombe attracting a lot of help. Bron Roberts Bron Roberts 6'11" | SF Pleasant Grove | 2023 State UT gets to go up against a veteran big that will post up on almost every play. This is a good young prospect that will need to rise to the occasion.
Game 2
Alta vs. Farmington
Players to Watch:
Alta
6’8 Jaden Brownell Jaden Brownell 6'8" | SF Alta | 2021 State UT
6’7 Jaxon Heiden Jaxon Heiden 6'9" | PF Alta | 2022 State UT
6’2 Jett Lundberg Jett Lundberg 6'2" | PG Alta | 2022 State UT
Breakdown: Jaden Brownell Jaden Brownell 6'8" | SF Alta | 2021 State UT and company have fallen short in a few games. That hasn’t really stopped Jaden from playing well. Look for him to assert himself early. Jaxon return to play after being out a few games. He is healthy and will be a big reason Alta will have success moving forward. Jett could be that difference maker as he will have alot of opportunites to score on no help.
Players to Watch:
Farmington
6’4 Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT
6’6 Truman Hendry Truman Hendry 6'7" | SF Farmington | 2021 State UT
6’4 Caleb Mordue Caleb Mordue 6'6" | SF Farmington | 2021 State UT
Breakdown: Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT has been good as advertised. He is starting to move better without the ball which allows his teammates to really have openings. Caleb hs been a bright spot scoring inside and out. Overall Farmington has a lot of players that like to shoot. Truman has been tough down low but will have his hands full with two bigs that are tall, skilled and long.
Game 3
Davis vs. Bountiful
Players to Watch:
Bountiful
6’5 Robert Wahley
6’4 Henry Smith Henry Smith 6'1" | CG Bountiful | 2021 State UT
6’1 Austin Cooper Austin Cooper 6'0" | SG Bountiful | 2021 State UT
Breakdow: Bountiful will need solid guard play and it will start with Henry Smith Henry Smith 6'1" | CG Bountiful | 2021 State UT as he will need to find ways to get open and hit that long ball. Austin Cooper Austin Cooper 6'0" | SG Bountiful | 2021 State UT will need to create like he always does and drive and kick. If Whaley can get 1 on 1 coverage he will have his way.
Davis
6’3 Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT
5’11 Colby Simms Colby Simms 5'11" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT
6’6 Henry Ihrig
Breakdown: Henry Ihrig will need to step up his game. He is capable of scoring a lot of points inside and out. He will also need to stay out of foul trouble. Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT will have an opportunity to really score the ball as he could use his quickness to really get by defenders tonight. Colby Simms Colby Simms 5'11" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT is a solid PG that can control tempo but he can also shoot the ball well. Should be a good matchup.
