Week 0: Games to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are so excited to start covering girls basketball in Utah and here are a few games that will get things started in Week 0. We will also be keeping an eye on the Herriman vs. Skyline game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lehi @ Mountain Ridge (November 16th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great 6A battle and my guess is that we will have some new players come out and impress in this one on both teams. Lehi will be lead by [player_tooltip player_id='773076' first='Sammie' last='Love'] a player that knows how to put the ball in the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mountain Ridge has a young team as they are loaded with Class of 2026 players so look for them to have players come out of nowhere. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Green Canyon @ Alta (November 17th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Really like this matchup as you have two teams that can make a nice run this year. Alt ahas some players that could be difference makers like [player_tooltip player_id='796802' first='Alia' last='Baldassano'] a young Class of 2026 player that has improved her scoring and she does not have to sit outside and jack three's, she finds other ways to score. <strong>Sofia Davenport</strong> should be much improved this season, especially if she can continue to shoot well from deep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Green Canyon Should get excellent play from <strong>Jannalynn Blotter </strong>a player that can do a little bit of everything. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='773109' first='Marissa' last='Best']</strong> should be able to lead this team in scoring as shhe has the strength and skills as a Forward to do damage. With alta not having a player that could match her she could have a big time game. Could be a close game though. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Northridge @ Brighton (November 17th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brighton might be one of the best young teams in the state as they are just loaded with talent that has next level potential. [player_tooltip player_id='789082' first='Olivia' last='Stephens'] is an absolute bucket. She knows how to get to the rim and her shooting out beyond the arc is sharp. [player_tooltip player_id='788269' first='Charlotte' last='O'Neal'] is a hidden gem for sure as she has size, strength and skills. Look for her to elevate her game this season and you should see her numbers go up. [player_tooltip player_id='788335' first='Lucy' last='Chin'] is a shooter that can spread the floor and can open things up for everyone else. [player_tooltip player_id='796799' first='Sophie' last='Nielsen'] is another player that can bring it for sure as she has three-level scoring ability too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Northridge will have their hands full as they have been hovering around 10 wins in the last 3-4 years but they will rely heavily on<strong> Kaylee Hees </strong>a player that can score the ball and she is an outside threat too.<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='965018' first='Karlee' last='Mayfield'] </strong>is another player in the Class of 2025 that could have an impactful game and season. This game could be a good one as two teams in 5A that could improve this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
