Region 4
Pleasant Grove High School (10-2)
PG is back despite the loss of a dynamic guard and most of the praise goes to another guard who has taken it to another level in McCaden Adams McCaden Adams 6'3" | CG Pleasant Grove | 2022 State UT . He has been a baller at both ends of the floor. Really like him at the top of the zone and 1-3-1 that they have been playing. He is agile going to the rim and he simply finds ways to score.
Region 5
Bonneville High School (8-0)
