Lander BartonLanderBarton6'4" | SFBrighton | 2022StateUT and Josh Petersen are tough. Josh is a rising prospect that continues to improve his stock and is a player that should be looked at for the next level.

Truman HendryTrumanHendry6'7" | SFFarmington | 2021StateUT and
Caleb MordueCalebMordue6'6" | SFFarmington | 2021StateUT make up a tough trio to defend. Farmington can get going from deep that will cause teams to defend closer and this is when a player like Collin is at his best.
#10 Payson
Payson is the top team in an unproven Region 8. payson has experience with a mixture of size and shooting. Payson plays hard and they rebound the basketball. They can get out and run or play a half-court game. 6’7 Parker Larsen is a sleeper prospect, he’s a junk yard dog type that just plays hard and hustles.
