Skyview's Jalen Moore scores the winning basket in overtime to beat Bountiful during the 4A State semi finals in Ogden Friday, March 1, 2013.
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
The final three weeks of the high school basketball season were a wild ride for those involved, with upsets galore sprinkled throughout the 10 state tournaments across the state.
When it was all said and done, six of the 10 teams ranked No. 1 heading into the playoffs went on to win a state title — up from three last year.
The five state champions on the girls side were Riverton (5A), Springville (4A), Dixie (3A), Richfield (2A) and St. Joseph (1A). St. Joseph was the only repeat winner.
The boys state champions were Lone Peak (5A), Sky View (4A), Morgan (3A), Wasatch Academy (2A) and Bryce Valley (1A). Lone Peak was the lone boys repeat winner.

All were great games. The Ben Lomond game was a heartbreaker for the Scots!
Actually it was Nielsen who almost won the SV/Bountiful game with a long range shot at the end of regulation, not Moore. Great job Sky View........
SV/MC should be number 1. That was an incredible game with 70 plus fan's and the only thing that could've made it better was if MC had won it.
