West Jordan has had a talented team the past few years and Mountain Ridge is really building a program that is respected. Bingham and Copper Hills each had a great seasons and look to have the same this coming year. Here is a list of players on each team that will be a key component to the success of the team.
Bingham
While Bingham lost two of their top scorers it will appear that many players will need ot step up. This team has the pieces to do it by committee but they will need one of their younger players to really grow up quickly and that is Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT . The standout sophomore had a killer freshman year but he mainly received all of his minutes on JV and he is now tasked to lead an already seasoned team. Bingham’s success with weigh heavily on the PG position.
Copper Hills
Copper Hills has really been able to put together some really good and well coaches teams. This year they will need one player to really take his game to the next level and that is McCoy Langston McCoy Langston 6'6" | CG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT . While he does a little bit of everything he is going to have to do a little bit more and that includes score the basketball. If McCoy can score in the upper teens he will propel Copper Hills into a big problem to deal with.
Herriman
Herriman is one of the mystery teams in the region. They had some really good incoming freshman and they lost a lot of seniors due to graduation. Ike Palmer Ike Palmer 6'6" | CG Herriman | 2024 State UT was a bright young player that had some production coming back but look for some new names to surface as key players in Herriman’s future.
Mountain Ridge
Mountain Ridge is building itself a good little squad. Jake Fitton Jake Fitton 6'2" | SG Mountain Ridge | 2022 State UT is a player and he will be a big key in Mountain Ridge’s success. Jake can score inside and play through contact but he can get hot from deep as well. Could have a monster year and don’t be surprised if Mountain Ridge upset some teams in Region 3.
Riverton
This season look for Riverton to really lean on McKay Hostetter as he can provide a major scoring punch as there will be a lot more shots to go around that might end up landing his way.
West Jordan
The Jaguars will be a new face in Region 3 but they could compete for a Region title right away. Logan Prince Logan Prince 6'3" | CG West Jordan | 2022 State UT will be a major player in that success. He cam shoot and create for others. If West Jordan could get Logan some easy open looks they could surprise a lot of teams.
