<p>While 6A has been depleted this year, with not as many teams as other classifications, there are still a few teams that you might need to be aware of this season. That is what we mean by a "Dark Horse Team," a team that will surprise you on any given night. Here are some teams to watch:</p>

<p><strong>Farmington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With 15 players returning from their Varsity/JV teams, Farmington boasts increased experience. Building upon their well-balanced attack from last season, they are poised to improve their scoring output this year. Keep an eye on [player_tooltip player_id='866695' first='Morgan' last='Rogers'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1250747' first='Makelle' last='Weber']; this dynamic duo could prove incredibly difficult to contain. Farmington showcased strong performances during Fall Ball, competing favorably against top-tier teams. As they continue to develop team chemistry and find their rhythm, they could emerge as a serious contender and upset-minded team from Region 1 this season.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Region 2</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Riverton</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Last season, Riverton accomplished what no other team in Region 2 could: defeating Copper Hills. Their success stemmed from disciplined basketball, employing a 2-3 zone defense that stifled CHHS's offense. Offensively, they capitalized on opportunities, hitting crucial shots. This season, playing with nothing to lose and bolstered by returning talent, Riverton is poised for success. [player_tooltip player_id='875182' first='Sam' last='Spencer']'s all-around game has significantly improved. The addition of move-in [player_tooltip player_id='952618' first='Meg' last='Rawson'] further strengthens the team. [player_tooltip player_id='812050' first='Maggie' last='Hamblin'] presents a challenge with her inside strength and improved outside shooting, making her a threat from beyond the arc.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>American Fork</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While many have written off American Fork due to some team turnover and a lack of wins in recent years, they have found a spark this season. [player_tooltip player_id='1240502' first='Morgan' last='Felix'] is a key player and the team's leading performer. With a few teammates capable of running alongside her, they can create problems for opponents unprepared to handle a guard-heavy team if they maintain a fast-paced style of play.</p>
