<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6A </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 Lone Peak</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The reigning 6A Champions had everything going for them on this solid playoff run. Kaylee Woolston is an underrated player that does it all. Impressive playoff stats and play. [player_tooltip player_id='796473' first='Zuri' last='Nordstrom'] always comes up clutch in the playoffs. Maddie Pope, [player_tooltip player_id='873282' first='Charli' last='Warner'] and [player_tooltip player_id='875181' first='Huni' last='Folau'] are only freshman. [player_tooltip player_id='849040' first='Lave' last='Holdcraft'] is a one of the best Glue Girls in the state. The addition of [player_tooltip player_id='673099' first='Tatiana' last='Harness'] was huge and there are more young players coming up on this team. Lone Peak will be dangerous and they will have teams looking to knock them off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 Westlake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westlake is another team that does not lose anyone on the team that was very tough to beat all season. They have one of the toughest backcourts in the state in Janice Sikander and [player_tooltip player_id='796479' first='Avery' last='Thompson']. These two players have great chemistry and they are tought o slow down. if Westlake can get out and run and gun they should be among the best in the state. [player_tooltip player_id='861992' first='Ella' last='Seymore'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1248783' first='Keira' last='Hester'] have great wing positional size. Look out for [player_tooltip player_id='875195' first='Aaliyah' last='Sikander'] too, she is a dynamic playmaker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#3 Mountain Ridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mountain Ridge is among those teams that have a lot of talent coming back. When you look at teams with size that can make an impact you have to think of [player_tooltip player_id='796847' first='Jessica' last='Maynard'], her length and agility will make a her a bigger force next season. [player_tooltip player_id='866703' first='Jada' last='Jangard'] and Kaylee montgomery are good guards that can drive and play out on the wings. [player_tooltip player_id='790536' first='Kya' last='Newton'] rounds off the top layers coming back but they also have a few young players that could find ways into the rotation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Syracuse</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Syracuse brings back two of the best players in the Class of 2026 that are a bit off the radar in Rachael McBride and [player_tooltip player_id='796823' first='Maylee' last='Anderson']. McBride has elite size and her mobility has improved and her finishing around the rim has also been on the rise. Anderson is one of the best 3-point shooter sin the state and if she gets going she could be a zone killer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 Davis</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Darts have some girls that will help them be among the best next season. Look for a much improved [player_tooltip player_id='827408' first='Kate' last='Willard'] and Chloe Peery. These players will have a lead guard that can play all over the floor in [player_tooltip player_id='796844' first='T'Maea' last='Eteuati']. She has take over ability and that skill set will help her teammates get great looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep an eye out for Lehi and Cedar Valley. These two teams have unique styles of play. Cedar Valley likes to pressure nd get up and down and Lehi has some height that could bother teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
