Farmington
6’4 Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT – Collin scoring 22 PPG but what was impressive in his last outing was the fact that he wasn’t scoring a lot but he was doing other things to help his team win, like defend and rebound.

6’7 Paul Beattie Paul Beattie 6'9" | PF Farmington | 2024 State UT – the freshman will have to give good minutes on both ends of the floor. His length and ability to defend multiple positions will come in handy.
