Champion: Davis High School
Davis just has too many pieces that if one player has a bad game so many other players could pick up the slack. Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT is a really good player and then you add another player that has improved a lot in Henry Ihrig you have a duo that can really score points. Colby Simms Colby Simms 5'11" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT and Tate Garff Tate Garff 6'4" | CG Davis | 2022 State UT make for more players that can go off. They will be tested early but in Dart fashion they will be tough to beat in region. Looking forward to watching the new rivalry take shape with Farmington. Davis will start the year with a target on their backs like usual but they will take pride in having a chance to defend their state Championship.
Region 1 MVP: Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT || Farmington High School
I do not think anyone in their right mind would think otherwise. Very curious to see what some of the seasoned coaches in Region 1 are planning on throwing at him. Collin will be ready regardless as he is a good passer and he moves well without the ball. Look for Collin to get to the free-throw-line a lot this year. He will be face guarded, double teamed and he will likely still get buckets. This kid is for real.
Defensive Player of the Year: Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT || Davis High School
Rex can really slow down those high level scorers and against those elite players he can make it really difficult for them to score. If he remains discipline he is one of the best defenders in the state.
Offensive Player of the Year: KJ Miller KJ Miller 6'3" | CG Layton | 2024 State UT || Layton High School
Really like what KJ has going out there at Layton High School. I think he will have the green light and he can make some tough buckets. Three-level scorer that has some freedom.
Varsity Newcomer of the Year: Hunter Schenck Hunter Schenck 6'2" | PG Weber | 2024 State UT || Weber High School
With Cannon Devries Cannon Devries 6'0" | PG Weber | 2022 State UT ’ ability to break people off the dribble Hunter Schenck Hunter Schenck 6'2" | PG Weber | 2024 State UT is going to find himself open a lot out in the perimeter and he is going to be able to hit those tough three’s and get to the basket as well.
Freshman to Watch: Drezdon Jenson || Davis High School
Not sure how much time this young pup will get but he is up next when it comes to talent taking over at Davis High School.
