Great game against Mountain Crest and Juan Diego last week Logan! Good luck against Ben Lomond!

Copper Hills High School is the real deal

It's just the first lap. | 8:00 a.m. March 23, 2009

Copper Hills needs to keep getting better because Alta will. But they have been going up these last few years so if they just keep it up this may be thier year. Is Carper choaching there now? He is the coach that took Jordan to its first state championship. Great coach.

?????????????? | 9:24 a.m. March 23, 2009

are you kidding? why haven't you included east?

Bingham??? | 10:10 a.m. March 23, 2009

Where is Bingham this is unusual Bingham usually at least competes in all sports. . .

VikingFan | 10:20 a.m. March 23, 2009

How about Pleasant Grove, who is 3-1 and beat Jordan very soundly in a game that Jordan really never had much momentum. How do you keep Jordan in at 0-3 when other teams are more worthy.

re: Bingham??? | 10:21 a.m. March 23, 2009

There is nothing left there this year. They graduated a number of seniors and kept like 12+ freshman this year. They have already lost to Delta this year. They will not be a contender. Riverton is in the same boat. They graduated a bunch of seniors. Actually the core of seniors that graduated from both Riverton and Bingham played on the same Club team. There isn't anything left on either team to be competitive this year.

Great game between Alta and Copper Hills. Two great teams competed well against each other, CH just played much better that day. JJ Niko-Paramore played the game of his life and dominated the hawks. Colby Hawkins and Brenton Hull anchored the middle of the defense well. As long as they avoid a slip up against hillcrest, copper hills should coast through a weakened region 3 and have a good shot to go undefeated. This could be the team that brings glory to a school that never gets it.

alta thought cuz they killed logan that we would be just as easy.. they came out slow and we took advantage of it. we just wanted it more, but you can tell alta is a very good team. we played our best game against them and i think alta has more in them than they showed. lets go undefeated this year grizzlies!!!

Riverton Fan | 12:23 p.m. March 23, 2009

We need help! Smith, Swank, and Dunn come back! No really I want to thank you for giving us four great years. We will just really miss you this year. You were so much fun to watch.

Skyline is here to stay!

skyline | 12:42 p.m. March 23, 2009

usually gets into the top five in the preseason but never finishes strong. Skyline will prolly finish 4th in region 2.

Alta | 12:44 p.m. March 23, 2009

Copper hills will likely meet alta again sometime in the playoffs. well either alta or brighton. And don't expect them to come out flat against you guys again. Alta is a young and inexperienced team they will only get better as the year goes on.

copper hills | 12:53 p.m. March 23, 2009

has the best coach in utah! The guy is tactically sound. Isn't he from england or something?

same-o, same-o | 12:57 p.m. March 23, 2009

honestly...high school soccer is nothing short of kickball with three officials. at the the end of the day and come state finals it will be the same school(s), it always is and always will be in high school soccer. copper hills enjoy your ride...but until you win more than regular season matches -- a state championship -- i wouldn't get worked up this early. it will be brighton, alta, viewmont, davis in 5a. samething in 4a (bountiful, highland, mountain view, bonneville). high school soccer is division 1, 2 in club soccer on extra testosterone -not good soccer. out.

??? | 1:05 p.m. March 23, 2009

No way Jordan should be in the top 20 still after staring 0-3.

re: skyline | 2:08 p.m. March 23, 2009

Every high school team is different than they were last year, some are better and some are worse. Brighton is still good obviously but they still have new players in their line up and same goes with skyline's line up and everyone else's. Hopefully skyline stays strong through the season to make region 2 even that much more competitive.

What about Pleasant Grove who is 3-1 why aren't they in when they beat Jordan who is 0-3 that is bull if you ask me

Soccer | 2:27 p.m. March 23, 2009

Another useless poll about an useless sport and 21 of its fans.

Vikings!! | 2:29 p.m. March 23, 2009

The Vikings are looking great this year! They'll go all the way!

RE: same-o, same-o | 3:35 p.m. March 23, 2009

I agree 1000% Add Jordan and PG in 5A though.

re:re: same-o, same-o | 5:36 p.m. March 23, 2009

Jordan should probably win a game before they even start to think about being ranked

To the guy asking about Carper, he coaches at Bingham now, I am a freshman playing for Bingham.

Awesome! | 7:08 p.m. March 23, 2009

I like to see how some teams take the heat and play tough preseason games to get them rolling and taking it hard whether it be win or loss but getting them ready to whoop in region and hopefully go far in state!

Lots of changes coming | 7:21 p.m. March 23, 2009

Don't worry,after a few weeks this poll with look completely different,but hey gives us something to talk about in the mean time.

Rob | 1:39 a.m. March 25, 2009

I still think its gonna come down to alta vs. brighton

Alta is back on top | 1:42 a.m. March 25, 2009

I think the only real threat to the rest of altas schedule is brighton

supa smash brothas | 2:03 p.m. March 25, 2009

Davis for the state title!

Anonymous | 10:05 p.m. March 25, 2009

Where is Ogden?!

pele | 9:50 a.m. March 27, 2009

PLEASE,, anyone outside of region 1 or 2, stop right now! Because we all know what happens when playoff time comes around. Like always it will come down to 3-4 teams! It will be Weber Brighton, Alta ,viewmon and or Davis still playing in the end of May! Proof is in the history over the last 8 years kids! Weber looks really good as does Viewmont and Davis. Alta and Brighton will be there as well. Enough said!

re: pele | 8:12 p.m. March 27, 2009

take it easy there will be a few other contenders this year watch out for sleeper teams it will come into play this year!

L Town | 7:32 p.m. March 29, 2009

Where is Layton? even though they are 1-2 they still are a great team!

Anonymous | 10:29 a.m. March 30, 2009

copper hills is taking it all this year

Anonymous | 7:24 p.m. April 4, 2009
