<p><strong>#1 Bountiful</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A team that is not afraid to play anyone and they have the pieces to beat anyone as well. Malika Satuala is as good as they come and along with [player_tooltip player_id='788162' first='Taylor' last='Harvey'] if she wanted to, both are D1 hoopers. [player_tooltip player_id='856279' first='Adelaide' last='Stevenson'] is also playing well early. They have a lot of player that can go off at anytime. </p>

[player_tooltip player_id='796794' first='Kylee' last='Falatea'] and [player_tooltip player_id='788305' first='Fina' last='Tuha'] have been great early but they have more players that will come in handy through the season. [player_tooltip player_id='1164821' first='Ale' last='Fonoti'] and [player_tooltip player_id='789150' first='Kaydence' last='Falatea'] have also helped early. Keep an eye on this team. </p>

<p><strong>#3 Wasatch</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This team could make a run at a return to the state championship game again. Mahala Nelson looks great early and is playing good defense and she is sharp on offense as well. [player_tooltip player_id='613008' first='Peyton' last='Behnke'] has been good and she has recently committed to USU-E has been solid. They have a solid team that can play any style of ball. </p>

[player_tooltip player_id='796817' first='Presley' last='Whiting'] and [player_tooltip player_id='796815' first='Hadley' last='Whiting'] have been great and then they have many other players that can produce.

<p><strong>#6 Salem Hills</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Salem Hills is good and they can get anyone at any time. [player_tooltip player_id='974131' first='Chenielle' last='Nye'] is a stud and [player_tooltip player_id='788222' first='Brooke' last='Warren'] is good. Region 7 is brutal. Look for these teams to beat each other up. Great wins early this season. </p>

<p><strong>#7 Timpview</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Timpview is a sleeping giant and they are playing well right now. [player_tooltip player_id='875196' first='Zion' last='Lloyd'] is making a case for herself to be included in the best 2028's conversation. [player_tooltip player_id='788242' first='Lina' last='Ballin'] has been great as well. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#9 Clearfield</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clearfield could easily shoot up the rankings. Do not be fooled by their record as they have played some tough teams early. Izzy Wyaskett is good and a next level talent. They need more from [player_tooltip player_id='805802' first='Ciara' last='De La O'].</p>

<p><strong>#10 Springville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1164483' first='Natalie' last='Florence'] and Bryn Johnson have been solid for a team in the best region in 4A. This is a team you don't want to play in the playoffs. </p>
