Who’s Heating Up: 5A

5A is very similar to 6A as they have a region that has some tough teams top to bottom, but they also have 1 team that has been lights out from the jump.  Hottest Team The Timpview T-Birds When you’re only three losses this season have come to Wasatch Academy, Corner Canyon and Pleasant Grove there is nothing to be ashamed of. Coleman FordColemanFord5'10" | PGTimpview | 2021StateUT, Jake WahlinJakeWahlin6'8" | SFTimpview | 2021State#150NationUT and James RustJamesRust6'5" | CGTimpview | 2023StateUT gave Wasatch Academy everything they could handle. The T-Birds have big wins over Skyridge, Layton and Farmington. This team is a perfect example of what growing up together and playing together can help with chemistry. Even if they slip and loose one in region play they will be a tough out with a lot of experience from top to bottom on the roster.  Hot Team The Olympus Titans This team is absolutely dangerous. Jack Wistircill is playing at a high level and Ben KrystowiakBenKrystowiak6'4" | CGBrighton | 2021StateUT is playing very consistent basketball. Luke Smith has been that other guy that can get to the rim and hit shots from outside. The Titans also bring players in off the bench that can really shoot the ball. Olympus is that team that plays on both ends of the floor.  Team Heating Up The Mountain View Bruins Earlier in the fall before the season started Mountain View looked good. They had some move in’s paired up with some older players already there and they looked good. They seem to be hitting their stride in a tough region. They rattled off a few huge wins that many thought they had no chance in. 6’8 C Calvin GustafsonCalvinGustafson6'7" | PFQueen Creek | 2021StateUT has been solid and a load. 6’4 Preston ThompsonPrestonThompson6'4" | SFQueen Creek | 2020UT has also been a player that has been a big reason MV has had so much success.  Consistant Teams Lehi High School Lehi has some great guard play and they are dangerous with Noa Gonzalves, Tyson HawkinsTysonHawkins6'4" | SGLehi | 2021StateUT and Peter AmakasuPeterAmakasu6'4" | CGLehi | 2021StateUT. Alta High School You can never count out a team lead by Jaden BrownellJadenBrownell6'8" | SFAlta | 2021StateUT and some better play from Jett LundbergJettLundberg6'2" | CGAlta | 2022StateUT. Farmington High School Collin ChandlerCollinChandler6'4" | CGFarmington | 2022StateUT and Caleb MordueCalebMordue6'6" | SFFarmington | 2021StateUT are tough players to defend in the perimeter, they will be a fun team to watch at state.
