Wasatch boys

Just stay humble and focused on winning each quarter. Remember what you've been taught for the last 6 years about playing as team. The season was great but it's history. New season starts tomorrow. Let your hustle do the talking 'til the final buzzer, and don't pay any attention to comments here trying to bait you.

On your mind

Morgan has to be weighing in on this teams mind, this is the only team that should of beat them and more than likely will on Thursday, as far as the Judges Coachs comments as Wasatch not being the favorite to win he is dead wrong there isn't another team out there that can compete with these boys except for Morgan its a good match up and one of Wasatchs biggest rivarlys, Judge will be lucky to make it through the 2nd round. I love when parents get on hear and tell there boys to not pay attention to these comments, it is a comment board I would recommend you quit reading them and encourage your boy to not read them as well, you make it worse by commenting!

Morgan Man

The tittle is there for the taking Morgan. You have the talent to play with anyone in the state. Play team ball for 3 days hitting the open man and you will be holding the title on Saturday night. To be the best you have to beat the best. Go get um men.

Wasatch Fan

Go Wasatch! We're happy to have Morgan and Judge in our non-conference schedule any time they want to schedule us.... seeing that 3 of 5 starters are Juniors we'd love an opportunity to beat you. Coach Y. you are a fantastic coach, and we'd love to get you and your team up hear... I mean heer... I mean here (that's for you my beloved Morganite friend) to play us and then we'll give you a chance on your floor too.

See you at the tournament boys!

reality

It's possible Wasatch could have a repeat of it's worst game of the year (the win over Morgan), but on a neutral floor not "more than likely." Good luck and have fun Wasps.

Another Wasatch Fan

Morgan is a real quality opponent and has been tested in a difficult region, the best in 3A this season. I, for one, am really looking forward to this match-up tomorrow and think it will be one of the better games in the quarterfinals.

The Morgan and Wasatch rivalry goes back many decades, and despite being in different regions of late both schools have committed to play each other and keep the rivalry alive. Kudos to both programs this year on successful seasons and I hope tomorrow lives up to the hype. Go Wasps!

Big Pepsi:

Go Trojan Ez. Take it to the Wasps!!!!!!!! They think they have the Trophy already, but you have to play one Game at a time and that is what the Ez is going to do. I would not bet against Morgan after watching them play all Season. Yes they have had some bumps in the road, but their Coach has them playing really good right now. Go Trojans!!!!!!!!!! Beat the Wasps this time when it really counts.

JD & JM Fan

It is my opinion that JD and JM will play for the State Title. Even tough neither Team has an easy road to the final game, I just think they are the Cream of the Crop in 3A this year. Like Bear River was a year ago. Bear River was probably the best Team in the State last year after watching all the play-off Games for all Classifications.

To: reality

Give me a break. Just maybe could it be that Morgan matches up well with the Wasatch and is not intimidated by them and their record. Don’t try and dis Morgan by saying it was an off night or worst game of the year. Morgan plays aggressive in your face defense, boxes out well and can get hot and shoot as well as any team in the state can. I think that always helps the other teams have an off night. This group of kids has played each other so many times in AAU on so many different floors that it does not matter where they play. Thursday you can count on a battle!

on paper

Isn't it interesting how things look on paper. You might have a lot of money, on paper- you might be ranked #1, on paper- but when it is time to cash in, it is sometimes not what it seems. The Wasps look lvery good, on paper- but with that schedule I can think of 4 teams in Region 11 that would look pretty much the same had they played the same schedule. That is unfortunate for Wasatch really! I think that the State Champion will emerge from Region 11! I am from Morgan so I am for Morgan, of course! I thought that the meeting of these teams earlier this year was a great game! Morgan had too many turnovers and a parent from Wasatch was heard saying that it was the best there team had played. This is going to be an intense game and I do believe Morgan has the advantage coming into this one and they will be victorioius! Morgan boys can play ball and they know they can beat anyone in the State! They are AWESOME and they have saved their best for NOW! Good Luck to all ~ Trojans WIN!!!!!!!!

Hurricane Over JD

Gotta love the Northern Utah bias by many of you. I've seen all of the remaining teams play this season, and Hurricane will send a message tomorrow by beating Juan Diego. Look for a great Wasatch/Hurricane match-up in the semifinals.

Amen

"...don't pay any attention to comments here trying to bait you."
Amen.
"To be the best you have to beat the best."
Amen.
"This group of kids has played each other so many times in AAU ...it does not matter where they play. Thursday you can count on a battle!"
Amen.
It is my opinion that JD and JM will play for the State Title. ... I just think they are the Cream of the Crop in 3A this year."
Amen. And every year as long as they have the UHSAA allowing them to recruit, give 'scholarships' and remain in 3A.

Wasatch Fan

The Wasps will definitely have to bring their A game to beat Morgan. Morgan is always a tough matchup and I'm sure they'll be ready to play.

It should be a really fun game to watch. Good luck to all the 3A teams in the tournament this year.

men/fan

been a lot of buzz about Wasatch taken the trophy home but before mak'n space in the trophy room they had better watch out for the southern boys from Hurricane.

My thoughts

I think the Morgan Wasatch game will be a close no matter who wins. No blow out here on either side. Each team has it stars and each team has it's role players. It really comes down to who wants it more and who and who plays better team ball. Should be fun to watch, good luck to all the young men.

re: men/fan

the same team that lost to a 2-19 Canyon View team a couple weeks ago? yeah right haha

Judge Fan

RE: AMEN.

Get your facts in order. JM does not scholarship.

Check the rosters of the basketball teams - From Parish Schools: Lourdes, Vincents, Ambrose, Ann's, Francis, etc...

900 kids - 3A.

Do some homework.

re: My thoughts

My thoughts too... from a Wasatch Fan! Morgan has been good for Wasatch and Wasatch has been good for Morgan! Funny thing, the kids know and like each other. May they play with good sportsmanship and heart and may all participants play injury free! Have fun men! PS I was really disappointed to see Garfield get hurt! I was looking forward to seeing Morgan and Emery play in the girls tournament!

Morganite; Great young men on both sides that have paid their dues over many years. coaching will be the difference in this one.

3a

I havent seen Emery, but i have seen everyone else this year, I like the winner of Wasatch and Morgan to win it all.
