<!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tuesday Games</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Westlake (4-1) at Fremont (4-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both teams enter at 4–1, each taking their lone loss to a defending state champion—Fremont falling to Bountiful and Westlake dropping theirs to Lone Peak. This matchup has the makings of a classic contrast in styles: Fremont brings size and interior control with their frontcourt duo of [player_tooltip player_id='796472' first='Abigail' last='Christensen'] and [player_tooltip player_id='827419' first='Olivia' last='Surrage'], while Westlake's strength lies in its backcourt speed, floor reads, and rim pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If Fremont is able to dominate the paint, their height could dictate the pace, especially with Christensen—one of the top 2027 players in the state—who can stretch the floor as well, already knocking down nine three-pointers on the year. Supporting pieces [player_tooltip player_id='805795' first='Brynn' last='Wadman'], [player_tooltip player_id='1247151' first='Ellie' last='McArthur'], and [player_tooltip player_id='985884' first='Maya' last='Jensen'] continue to give them balanced scoring, each contributing six or more points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westlake counters with a dynamic guard unit featuring [player_tooltip player_id='796479' first='Avery' last='Thompson'], [player_tooltip player_id='861992' first='Ella' last='Seymore'], [player_tooltip player_id='1248783' first='Keira' last='Hester'], [player_tooltip player_id='796486' first='Mia' last='Foster'], and [player_tooltip player_id='829862' first='Isley' last='Sauvao']. Their ability to attack downhill, change pace, and break pressure gives the Thunder a clear edge on the perimeter. Depth is also a factor, as several young players have already shown they can step in and impact the game—[player_tooltip player_id='1038913' first='Katie' last='Cannon'] being one of the most versatile, capable of filling almost any role without slowing the lineup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whoever controls the tempo—Fremont through size or Westlake through speed—will likely control the outcome.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bingham (4-1) at Provo (6-0)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tough Bingham team with one loss will head to Provo on Tuesday to face the undefeated Bulldogs. Provo brings experience and chemistry, while Bingham features an entirely new front-line rotation still finding its rhythm. [player_tooltip player_id='873280' first='Sage' last='Yenchik'] has been leading the charge for Provo, supported by [player_tooltip player_id='938372' first='Lydia' last='Ibarra'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1246445' first='Mia' last='Martinez'], with [player_tooltip player_id='921388' first='Valaria' last='Martinez'] and [player_tooltip player_id='931426' first='Asha' last='Alletto'] anchoring the interior. Lydia continues to be a true two-way presence, pulling boards, initiating the break, and scoring consistently. Provo's mix of veteran leadership in [player_tooltip player_id='1277738' first='Emma' last='Martin'] and emerging young talent like [player_tooltip player_id='873280' first='Sage' last='Yenchik'] gives them a balanced, steady lineup heading into this matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bingham enters with only one loss, falling to a loaded Pleasant Grove squad, and this matchup should give a clearer apples-to-apples look at how both teams stack up. Bingham has been boosted by the recent production of [player_tooltip player_id='796469' first='Veanna' last='Pau'u'] and [player_tooltip player_id='875180' first='Lanie' last='Smith'], along with the unselfish play of [player_tooltip player_id='789053' first='Stacia' last='Peoples'], who keeps the ball moving and consistently sets up her teammates. [player_tooltip player_id='875185' first='Avery' last='Aiono'] provides an inside presence, cleaning up the glass and finishing on put-backs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game may come down to who controls the boards. Both teams have players capable of snagging offensive rebounds and turning them into second-chance points, and whichever group wins that battle likely dictates the outcome. With both squads showing early promise, this matchup could be an early indicator of who is ready to carve out a real identity heading into the heart of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Wednesday Games</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mountain Ridge (3-1) at Lehi (7-0)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two tough 6A teams meet on Wednesday, each bringing veteran varsity experience to the floor. Mountain Ridge returns a battle-tested core that has been together for four years, anchored by seniors [player_tooltip player_id='796847' first='Jessica' last='Maynard'] and [player_tooltip player_id='866703' first='Jada' last='Jangard']. Their supporting cast of experienced juniors, including [player_tooltip player_id='805789' first='Cailin' last='Kehl'] and [player_tooltip player_id='805788' first='Kaylee' last='Montgomery'], keeps the offense flowing, feeding Maynard inside when she seals or flashes open. Mountain Ridge has dropped a couple of close ones, including a tight battle with Lone Peak, but their competitiveness in those games shows they can rise to the moment when the pressure hits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lehi counters with its own interior presence in [player_tooltip player_id='950220' first='Kelcee' last='Rasmussen'], who will be one of the few players capable of matching Maynard in the paint. [player_tooltip player_id='1315890' first='Madison' last='Andrews'] has shown glimpses of what she can bring now that she's back on the court, and [player_tooltip player_id='1098304' first='Cali' last='Ashton'] has stepped into the rotation with confidence as a newcomer. [player_tooltip player_id='1142936' first='Brynlee' last='Cook'] has led the Pioneers to an undefeated start, but Lehi's real strength may be its depth. Fresh faces like Madi Ogden, [player_tooltip player_id='1238748' first='Camryn' last='Bell'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1247148' first='Brinley' last='Sorensen'] give Lehi a bench that can come in and contribute without a drop-off. Additional contributors such as [player_tooltip player_id='805783' first='Paisley' last='Worthen'] and [player_tooltip player_id='805785' first='Hayden' last='Warren'] make this one of the more complete and balanced rosters Lehi has had in recent years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This matchup should come down to interior execution and which team's guards can control the tempo—Mountain Ridge's seasoned chemistry against Lehi's depth and emerging young talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Other Games to Catch</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thursday</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wasatch (6-0) at Dixie (4-0)</strong> - 5A vs 4A Undefeated</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Green Canyon (3-1) at Ridgeline (4-1)</strong> - Region Title Matchup?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Enterprise (6-0) at Kanab (6-0) - </strong>2A Title Game Preview?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Davis at Copper Hills</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>North Sanpete (6-2) at Delta (4-1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
