GRR: Herriman
The top two teams in Utah in #7-ranked school team Herriman and #4-ranked Cavemen met up Saturday evening in Utah league play, and it was the Cavemen who came away victors.
It was Senior Night for Cavemen and they were recognizing 21 seniors, most of whom had been with the Cavemen/American Fork program since early middle school.
Herriman and East, the only single school programs in Utah's combined Tier 1, met in an early season match after getting their feet wet at the Puriri Invitational last week.
Defending state champion East was looking to establish itself after an uneven showing in that warmup tournament, while Herriman was looking to continue its momentum from a strong start.
Your big winners coming out of the Puriri Tournament seem to be Herriman and Layton Christian Academy.
Those two teams are certainly two of the major state contenders this year, along with defending state champs East HS. While East faltered a little, it's important to remember that the Puriri Tournament, while competitive, is still a warmup tournament.
The top seeds generally played like it at the Boys HS National Championships single-school bracket.
The only lower seed to win was St. Edward, and that was in the matchup of #4 and #5.
In a meeting of the two very strong single-school teams in Utah, Herriman defeated East HS 49-34 Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.
