Region 4 is wild as any team could catch you on a bad night and in Region 3 some of the teams struggling are better than they are showing. in 5A things are heating up as Alta is trying to assert themselves here as a Top 2 team.
Alta vs. Timpview
1st place is on the line as these two teams set to tip-off tonight. Timpview is getting help from everyone on the roster and it makes them hard to stop as they get good play from players like Truman Burningham Truman Burningham 6'2" | PG Timpview | 2022 State UT and James Oldroyd. On the other side of the ball you have Jett Lundberg Jett Lundberg 6'2" | PG Alta | 2022 State UT really playing as is Jaxon Heiden Jaxon Heiden 6'9" | PF Alta | 2022 State UT and Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT . This game has a lot riding on the line. Alta could once again prove itself as a threat to win it all and Timpview could make a statement to let everyone know that they are for real.
Key Players: Jaxon Heiden Jaxon Heiden 6'9" | PF Alta | 2022 State UT (Alta), Jame Rust (Timpview)
Corner Canyon vs. Westlake
Corner Canyon and Westlake are tied at 3-3 in Region play and this win could be the difference from falling from 6th to 10th in the RPI. Corner Canyon had a rough time with Westlake in their last meeting but it is not likely fo rthem to have two bad showings in a row. Look for Jaiden Feroah Jaiden Feroah 6'9" | SF Corner Canyon | 2022 State UT to try and assert himself early. Westlake will need more that Dylan Jones Dylan Jones 6'6" | SG Westlake | 2022 State UT in this one. Although Dylan has enough firepower to carry the load Westlake is at its best when multiple players are hitting.
Key Players: Max Toombs Max Toombs 6'3" | CG Corner Canyon | 2023 State UT (Corner Canyon), Ashton Anderson (Westlake)
