Maylene Ornelas
Mountain View Bruins
Sport: Girls basketball
Class: Senior
Position: 5-foot-6 guard
The numbers: Many feel Ornelas, with a quick step and sharp dribbling skills, is the state's top point guard. She's been the Bruins' floor leader this season and is responsible for many of her teammates' points with her penetration and dishing. In a recent crucial road win at Lone Peak, she scored a game-high 18 points and sank several key free throws down the stretch. In last week's win over Spanish Fork, she scored 12 points and handed out five assists. She's also an excellent 3-point shooter and averages more than 12 points per game for the season.
Jason Chamberlain
Springville Red Devils
Sport: Wrestling
Class: Sophomore
Weight: 125-pound division
The numbers: As a key part of Springville's up-and-coming wrestling program, Chamberlain finished the year with a 50-1 record with his only loss coming at a regional tournament in Nevada. He won his second straight region title two weeks ago at the Region 7 championships and then went on to win his second straight 4A individual title at last week's state finals. He won all four of his state-tournament matches by technical fall to take the crown with ease. Chamberlain also carries a 4.0 GPA and was a Deseret Morning News Academic All-State selection last year.
