Game 1
Farmington vs. Davis
These two new found foes square up again as their first meeting was electric as the stars were playing at a high level. In their last meeting Davis bested Farmington 46-43 as Davis held off a comeback attempt. Three players scored in double-figures for Davis and two for Farmington in the low scoring sloppy game. Look for this game to be a lot more fluid as Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT has been playing some of his best high school ball in a really good stretch. Paul Beattie Paul Beattie 6'9" | PF Farmington | 2024 State UT is solid as a SF for Farmington. Devin Day Devin Day 6'3" | SG Farmington | 2022 State UT is playing better as of late as well. Farmington is going to need all hands on deck for this one. The biggest difference is going to be three-point shooting.
Davis is getting excellent production from Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT as he has just decided to take over in some games as they have been sluggish the past few games. Colby Simms Colby Simms 5'11" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT has been huge, especially in their last win. Look for Max Painter Max Painter 6'5" | SF Layton | 2022 State UT to have a big game this time around.
Key Players: Devin Day Devin Day 6'3" | SG Farmington | 2022 State UT (Farmington), Max Painter Max Painter 6'5" | SF Layton | 2022 State UT (Davis)
Game 2
Copper Hills vs. Bingham
These two teams have been one and two for the past few years in Region 3. Things are the same this year as they meet up as they are both looking to remain unbeaten in region play. Copper Hills made easy work of Bingham in the Fall but this time around could be different but the player that will need to really assert himself is Luke Moir Luke Moir 6'6" | SF Copper Hills | 2022 State UT . He is one big strong player that could give Bingham issues along with McCoy Langston McCoy Langston 6'6" | CG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT and Quincy Hills Quincy Hills 6'0" | PG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT . There will be some great matchups between some next level prospects in this one.
Quincy Hills Quincy Hills 6'0" | PG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT vs. Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT
McCoy Langston McCoy Langston 6'6" | CG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT vs. Kam Dupaix Kam Dupaix 6'5" | CG Bingham | 2022 State UT
Luke Moir Luke Moir 6'6" | SF Copper Hills | 2022 State UT vs. Devin Carlson Devin Carlson 6'8" | SF Bingham | 2022 State UT
This game will likely come down to their reserves.
Bingham has a complete team and they will need to ramp up the defense and create easy offense if they want to win this one.
Key Players: Quincy Hills Quincy Hills 6'0" | PG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT (Copper Hills), Tyler Newbold Tyler Newbold 6'5" | CG Bingham | 2022 State UT (Bingham)
Game 3
Skyridge vs. Fremont
This is a treat in the middle of the season as Skyridge has been a Top 5 team all year and they have some dynamic players playing at a high level. Then you have Fremont who has some well coached players that play their game and get it done.
Looking for ward to watching Nick Holland Nick Holland 5'11" | PG Skyridge | 2022 State UT do his thing and Hunter Hansen Hunter Hansen 6'4" | PG Fremont | 2024 State UT look to get off against an active defense. Colby Carter Colby Carter 6'4" | CG Skyridge | 2022 State UT could be a difference maker but so could Davis Calvert.
Key Players: Dakota Argyle Dakota Argyle 6'1" | SG Fremont | 2022 State UT (Fremont), Bryson Bailey Bryson Bailey 6'10" | C Skyridge | 2022 State UT (Skyridge)
