6A
West Jordan High School
West Jordan returns a lot of players if not all of them from last season. They have a lot of shooting which is always a must in a team that is looking to upset teams. They will be in a new region so look for them to sneak up on a few teams. Logan Prince Logan Prince 6'3" | CG West Jordan | 2022 State UT is a good prospect that can shoot the ball really well.
Skyridge High School
Skyridge is on the bounce back as they do play in one of the toughest basketball regions in the state. Regardless of what their record says at the end of the day they will be a tough out for anyone. They have some length that will bother people ( Bryson Bailey Bryson Bailey 6'10" | C Skyridge | 2022 State UT ) they also have some really good guards that can score. They will be well coached and ready to compete.
Taylorsville High School
Taylorsville is one of those teams that slows you down and they run a lot of zone. They have James Gavin James Gavin 6'4" | SF Taylorsville | 2022 State UT and John Gavin John Gavin 6'4" | SF Taylorsville | 2022 State UT who are both solid players on the floor. The team rebounds well and they know their strengths. If a team is having a slugish day shooting they will lose to Taylorsville.
5A
Northridge High School
Two words Sam Suvulich, this kid can absolutely score. Every coach fears a team that has a player that can take over and sam can do that. He shoots the ball lights out and he is shifty. Northridge has looked like a hungry team this fall. Look out for them up north.
Highland High School
With a new coach and a new system player like Sefa Brown Sefa Brown 6'5" | SF Highland | 2024 State UT and Elijah Tolbert Elijah Tolbert 6'2" | PG Highland | 2022 State UT will be put in positions to reach their potential. Highland might have some growing pains but they will compete. They have some young players in the pipeline that will likely seethe floor.
Woods Cross High School
Woods Cross could be one of those teams that just pops at the right time. They have a lot of young dynamic scoring guards like Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT and Jaxon Smith Jaxon Smith 6'1" | PG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT . They also have some other young players that have size and scoring ability.
4A
Green Canyon High School
Green Canyon has shooters and that is step 1 in an upset bid. Jared Anderson Jared Anderson 6'0" | SG Green Canyon | 2024 State UT could double his scoring as well as his three-pointers made and be in the 60+ made for the entire season.
3A
Richfield High School
It really doesn’t matter who is on the roster richfield is a competitive school that doesn’t go out without a fight. Connor Holroy will be the guy to pick it up.
