Hottest Team
The Dixie Flyers
The reason Dixie is the hottest team is because they have the toughest schedule and they have proven to be at the top once again. Isaac Finlinson Isaac Finlinson 6'6" | CG Dixie | 2021 State UT is a great player and he continues to get better. He recently committed to Dixie State and he is turning out to be a great get. The thing that makes Dixie tough is that they are not a one man show, they have players all over the floor that can score the ball and defend.
Heating Up
The Sky View Bobcats
Last year it appeared that the bobcats run might have ended and their chances at getting back would be gone. That has not been the case. With a few games against the southern teams in 4A under their belt and wins against 5A and 6A teams has been huge for them. Evan Hall and Jackson Shuman have been great this year. Look for them to be a tough out.
Hot Team
The Juan Diego Catholic Soaring Eagle
Juan Diego is playing it’s usual ball and that is great basketball. Their traditional 2-3 zone seems to stump a lot of the teams they face. They have length and some great guard play. Talon Valdes Talon Valdes 6'0" | PG Juan Diego | 2021 State UT is leading all scorers and they are getting some huge play from David Kinneberg David Kinneberg 6'6" | SF Juan Diego | 2021 State UT . With shooter Matty Rodriguez and multi-use big man Matt Rohden Matt Rohden 6'5" | SF Juan Diego | 2021 State UT they are a solid team that will go undefeated in region play. Excited to see their 2-3 zone against some of the other elite teams in 4A.
Beware of Team
The Crimson Cliff Mustangs
This team gave their 1st round opponent a scare last season with only one contributing senior. This season they are mature, faster, smarter and stronger. This team is a team to fear. They have shooting and athletes that play at both ends of the floor. They can play up and down or in the half-court. Trei Rockhill has been lights out. Hudson Hawes Hudson Hawes 6'1" | CG Crimson Cliffs | 2022 State UT and Cole Sampson make for a tough trio to stop.
