Boys high school basketball top 20

BR is great, just like the UofU Football team. We have beat everyone that we played.

We should be #1 in state! Utes finished #2 but should have been #1.

What have we got to do? We beat everyone we played. I think we could be the Jazz.

Isn't life great!

Bear River beat Hunter and won their first region game by 25 over Ben Lomond and still moved from ninth to tenth. What in the world is that all about?
Watch them hammer both Morgan and Ogden this week.

go Trojans to beat rank 10 BR

davis is the most over-rated team in the state...honestly the fact that they are that high is an outrage...who have they beat and who have they lost to???? that's absolute horse

I dont understand deseret news. . .i mean come one davis? really? you going to put them that high . .just doesnt seem fair to some of the other great teams out there to put davis so far up just because of lasts year team . . .

If there is such a thing as a Salt Lake bias, these rankings prove it. Bear River is in Tremonton and many in Utah have no clue where that is.

Is Bear River arrogant enough to think they could beat Provo, (who is also unbeaten after playing much better competition than BR) Lone Peak or any of the other top 5 on the list?

All I have to say is keep dreaming and be glad that those teams would never stoop so low to play your team. They would crush you.

Relax....it is just some people's opinions....So Davis is ranked higher than you think they should be....life goes one....they'll move down if they are worse and your team will move up if they are better, it won't keep your team out of having a shot at state....just relax a little dude!

Wow! Davis #5 and no Pleasant Grove?

Bear river is good don't get me wrong, and I am sure all the sports writers in SLC know where Tremonton is....riverside, thatcher, dewyville, fielding maybe not, but Tremonton yes!

Since you asked.....Davis lost to Jordan, Alta, and West Jordan and they beat Logan, Bingham (on the road), Murray, Centenial (a Las Vegas team), and Layton....

I think Riverton will keep doing well if they have a balanced game and get everyone involved, but if they try to just run the game through their guards, they will struggle. hopefully they play tough against bingham.

Jordan knocks off highly touted West Jordan, and stays at #15 in the rankings?

How on earth is Davis ranked so high? They have one quality win to their resume, and Jordan beat them head to head on their home floor! Jordan owns wins over #5 Davis, #7 West Jordan, and #17 Pleasant Grove, not to mention a better record playing a MUCH tougher schedule. Two of their three losses at the buzzer (one to #11 ranked Lehi), and their other loss was at #6 ranked Bingham in a game that was tied in the 4th quarter.

DNews has a love affair with the 2007-2008 Davis Darts, that for some reason is carrying over this year. Makes no sense...

Go Diggers!

That Las Vegas team (Centennial) is 9-9 this season, I just looked it up on MaxPreps. Get Davis out of the rankings, they are 1-3 against other more deserving teams. Other than Bingham, they have beaten up on teams that stink!

Where are all the Ryan fans now? How is Dixie doing this year?

rankings here have NOTHNG to do with whether or not your team gets to the state tournament or how you get seeded.
the actual TEAMs will prove on the COURT how good they are and all the delusional fans' screaming and postulating make NO more difference than if you had never even noticed this article!
Utah has a lot of good teams and players so lets stop showing our IQ is less than a cow patty by claiming YOUR team can beat the JAZZ, UofU or even the top teams in the state based on preseason match ups OK?
to BR cubs-calm down and stop making fools of your self and your team and your town by making such totally delusional claims just because you have preseason wins over the worst teams in 4a and 5a.There are other undefeated teams in UTAH so Enjoy your teams' season without embarrasing everyone you represent with mindless babble!You have a good team yes but the best in the state? HAHAHAHAHA

that makes and tests rockets and propulsion systems?
looks like that fuel has leaked into the water supply up there-it's causing delusions and totally irrational behaviour!BR cubs are great this year in 3a
but lets stop embarrasing your team, town , and school
with the insane rantings about being top in the state just because you barely beat the worst team in 5a and a bottom team in 4a OK?PROVO is undefeated too-so you can beat them?? hahahaha

I live in Vegas and Centennial is a cellar-dweller. They have no game. There 9 wins are against some really bad teams. Silverado is good.

This was an incredible game! Jordan pulled out a win in a great comeback, and they deserve to be ranked higher. However, WJ WAS killing the Beetdiggers and they lost on two free throws.
