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 Ford Coleman Ford 5'10" | PG Timpview | 2021 State UT , Jake Wahlin Jake Wahlin 6'8" | SF Timpview | 2021 State #150 Nation UT and James Rust James Rust 6'5" | CG Timpview | 2023 State UT 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 Krystowiak Ben Krystowiak 6'4" | CG Brighton | 2021 State UT 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 Gustafson Calvin Gustafson 6'7" | PF Mountain View | 2021 State UT has been solid and a load. 6’4 Preston Thompson Preston Thompson 6'4" | SF Queen Creek | 2020 UT 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 Hawkins Tyson Hawkins 6'4" | PG Lehi | 2021 State UT and Peter Amakasu Peter Amakasu 6'4" | CG Lehi | 2021 State UT .
Alta High School
You can never count out a team lead by Jaden Brownell Jaden Brownell 6'8" | SF Alta | 2021 State UT and some better play from Jett Lundberg Jett Lundberg 6'2" | PG Alta | 2022 State UT .
Farmington High School
Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT and Caleb Mordue Caleb Mordue 6'6" | SF Farmington | 2021 State UT are tough players to defend in the perimeter, they will be a fun team to watch at state.
