SMITHFIELD – One week of Region 11 play is now in the books and some teams have seen some slight movement in the latest Utah High School Activities Association RPI rankings, while others remain the same.
In girls basketball, Ridgeline remains as the top team in all of 4A with a 14-1 overall record and two wins in region play last week. Sky View (9-6, 1-1) and Green Canyon (7-5, 1-1) swapped places in the latest rankings with Mountain Crest (9-5, 2-0) moving up one spot after picking up two wins. Bear River (3-10, 0-2) and Logan (0-11, 0-2) remain unchanged.
For the first time, the Cache Valley Media Group will be covering a Region 11 Girls Basketball Game of the Week on Tuesday. The matchup will feature Ridgeline vs Mountain Crest and full play-by-play coverage will be made available on Cache Valley Daily with Dave Simmons and Nick Zollinger on the call. Simmons and Zollinger have been calling games for the Ridgeline Riverhawks’ football and boys basketball teams for the last several seasons.
For the boys in Region 11, Sky View (10-3, 2-0) moved up to #2 after picking up two road victories at Green Canyon and Ridgeline. The Riverhawks (9-5, 1-1), meanwhile, dropped one spot to #5 and the Wolves (7-7, 1-1) remained at #7. Bear River (5-8, 1-1) also remains at their previous ranking of #10 while a struggling Logan (4-10, 0-2) has dropped to #12. The Grizzlies have now lost nine in a row. Despite splitting games last week, Mountain Crest (2-11, 1-1) remains as the #13 team in 4A.
For 5A, both the Box Elder boys and girls games that had been scheduled Friday against Woods Cross were postponed until February 1st due to high COVID-19 numbers in Davis County. The girls are currently ranked #8 with an overall record of 7-5 and the boys are ranked #10 with an overall record of 8-4.
In 1A, the Rich girls basketball team is ranked #12 with a 5-5 record and the boys are ranked #19 with a record of 3-7.
