High school boys basketball: Defending champs favored again in most classifications
"How good we are will be determined by how quickly we pick up our defensive concepts," said Porter.
Panguitch begins the season ranked second, and justifiably so. With three returning starters, led by junior Tyce Barney, the Bobcats should be a very competitive team in Region 20 and 1A in general.
Bryce Valley, Duchesne and Rich round out the preseason Top 5 in 1A.

"These kids have played together for a long time and have good chemistry. They play together very well," said Young.

South Sevier frontline is as good as any in the state. If there is a better coaching staff I don't know where. Match those two things with the best shooter in the state and you have the recipe to hoist another gold trophy. It is really too bad More..
