Region 8 Champions: Orem High School
Orem has a roster full of talented players that have an opportunity to play at the next level. Nick Clark Nick Clark 6'3" | SG Orem | 2022 State UT is a solid guard in the Class of 2022. Then Dane Christensen Dane Christensen 6'7" | SF Orem | 2022 State UT at 6’7 can shoot the ball really well. Lance Reynolds Lance Reynolds 6'1" | PG Orem | 2024 UT is a solid young prospect. Orem will be big and they will be tough to matchup against.
Region 8 MVP: Dane Christiansen || Orem High School || 2022 ||
One of the best unsigned and underrated prospects in the Class of 2022. The 6’7 wing can stretch the floor but also hurt you inside.
Offensive Player of the Year: James Rust James Rust 6'5" | CG Timpview | 2023 State UT || Timpview High School || 2023 ||
James has a major bag of tricks on the offensive end. Really like his mid-post game on duck in’s or when he has a smaller player on him. Shoots the ball well from deep and he is agile and shifty. James is also sneaky athletic off the bounce.
Defensive player of the Year: Bron Roberts Bron Roberts 6'11" | SF Pleasant Grove | 2023 State UT || Timpanogos High School || 2023 ||
Bron is going to be a shot blocking and shot altering big down on the blocks. He does a great job rotating off of his man to help protect the paint. He can move his feet and recover on puck n’ rolls. Bron can also switch off and defend on the perimeter if needed. Not bad for a 6’11 defender.
New Comer of the Year: Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT || Alta High School || 2024 ||
Jaxon will surprise a lot of people with his size at 6’9 and his skill. He is long and can really shoot the ball from deep.
Breakout Player of the Year: Jaxon Heiden Jaxon Heiden 6'9" | PF Alta | 2022 State UT || Alta High School || 2022 ||
Jaxon Heiden Jaxon Heiden 6'9" | PF Alta | 2022 State UT is off the radar at the high school level .he had an excellent club year with the Salt Lake Rebels. Look for him to turn heads with his play on both ends of the floor.
