There are players on every team that might not be the stars or might not get all the accolades but they will be the key to their teams success. There will be teams that soley depend on their star or stars but here is a list of players that will be the key to a successful season.
Clearfield
While Clearfield will have a lot of new players trying to pick up the slack and other players trying to find their role. Austin Mitchell will be the key to their success. Austin at 6’7 will need to set the tone on both ends of the floor in the paint as he could really be a 10 & 10 type of player. Austin is a 2023 player and he could really take a step in the right direction as a prospect and help his team improve on last season.
Davis
Davis has a lot of players that could really fall in this category because they all play so well together and they are all willing to play a major role in the teams success. The key to this years team will fall on Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT . Rex might be the most sought out prospect on the team but he might not be the one scoring most of the points, either way Rex can really control the game on both ends of the floor. He will need to know when to take over nd when to defer to his teammates. Defensively he will be tasked to guard the other teams best player. If Rex has a good year it might mean another banner for the Darts.
Farmington
There will be no surprise here. Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT will take this team as far as he can take them. Not only will success ride on Collin’s shoulder it is going to be fun to watch. We are hoping for a popcorn performance every night were we can sit back and enjoy the show. A few records that could be on the dock. Points per game state record is 33.4, Points in a season 890 and points in a game is 58. Do not be surprised if any fall. Would like ot see a big school player in the record books.
Fremont
Fremont will much improved from last season but they will rely on David Calvert David Calvert 6'6" | PF Fremont | 2023 State UT for success. While Fremont doesn’t have a whole lot of size David plays rugged and he is physical s he muscles his way into double figures and fights for loose balls the entire game on both ends of the floor.
Layton
Layton will have a lot of new faces and one new face that got a lot of run last season that will pace the Layton and help get them in sets and get others the ball is Mekhi Martin Mekhi Martin 6'2" | PG Layton | 2024 State UT . The young sophomore will have the assignment to score a bit but also get others involved, Mekhi will be a big piece in what Layton does as he will be a key piece of the puzzle.
Syracuse
Syracuse will need a big year from Brock Williams Brock Williams 6'2" | SG Syracuse | 2022 State UT who will be a key piece. Brock does a little bit of everything. He is a stat stuffer that will need to do it all again this next year. This is a player that could only have five points but he will have 5 rebounds, assist and steals.
Weber
Weber has a dynamic guard coming back but they will need a new guard to help take a bit of the load off in Hunter Schenck Hunter Schenck 6'2" | PG Weber | 2024 State UT . Big time Spring and Summer that Weber is hoping trickles over to the regular season. hunter can bring the ball up or play off the ball. He can shoot lights out as well.
