Photo by Tina Lerohl LOGAN – The 2021-22 boys basketball season featured high-level basketball and multiple teams performing well all year. It was a rebuilding year for some teams and others featured new coaches. Not only did this season of boys basketball feature live play-by-play on six local radio stations, but also featured live video of the games broadcast here on Cache Valley Daily for the first time ever. The broadcasts provided an opportunity for fans, friends and family to view the games from afar, check in on multiple games happening simultaneously and the ability to re-watch games after they concluded. For the second year in a row the staff of the Cache Valley Media Group chose Ridgeline’s Kyle Day as Region 11 Coach of the Year. The Riverhawks finished as Region 11 champions with an 8-1 region record and as the 3rd ranked team in 4A at the conclusion of the season, finishing the year with an 18-6 overall record.

Ridgeline teams remain atop Region 11 standings in last RPI poll of regular season – Cache Valley Daily

MILLVILLE – The final week of the regular season begins with both Ridgeline girls and boys basketball teams on top of Region 11 standings and highly ranked among all 4A schools. For other schools in Region 11, as has become typical at this point of the season, the RPI rankings do not necessarily match the region standings. For example, in girls basketball Mountain Crest has a 5-2 region record and is ranked #6 but they trail both Sky View (ranked #3) and Green Canyon (ranked #5) in 4A RPI who both have 4-3 region records. It’s a similar case for the boys’ teams, with Sky View still ranked above Green Canyon, despite the Wolves having a better record in region play. The Logan boys team moved up two spots and Green Canyon’s boys team moved up one. All other rankings among boys and girls teams in Region 11 remained the same as last week. The RPI rankings, released regularly by the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA), takes all games played into account when computing a team’s RPI. It is that ranking that ultimately determines how a team will be paired in the post-season tournament which begins on Feb. 18.

Bear River buzzer beater downs Mountain Crest – Cache Valley Daily

GARLAND – Oliver Nethercott lined up a three point shot with 35 seconds left and drained it to cut the Bear River lead to 35-34. Alec Callister was intentionally fouled and missed the front end of a one-and-one that Trevis Leiser rebounded. With 17 seconds left, Preston Lofthouse hit a fall away jumper just inside the free throw line to put Mountain Crest up 36 to 35.

RPI rankings for Region 11 girls basketball unchanged, not the case for boys basketball – Cache Valley Daily

MILLVILLE – The latest RPI rankings released by the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) are the same as they were a week ago for Region 11 girls basketball teams. Ridgeline remains in the top spot among all 4A girls teams with Sky View and Green Canyon remaining in the top 5. Mountain Crest, Bear River and Logan also remain unchanged in their RPI rankings. For the boys, however, two teams dropped in their rankings while one moved up. Sky View lost on a last second put-back at Mountain Crest on Friday, resulting in their first Region 11 loss. As a consequence, the Bobcats fell from #2 to #3. Unfortunately for Mountain Crest, the win did nothing to move them up in the rankings as they remain #13. Bear River also dropped one spot (from #10 to #11) after losing both of their region games last week. The one team moving up in the rankings (#4 to #5) is Ridgeline after victories over Mountain Crest and Green Canyon. Logan and Green Canyon join Mountain Crest as Region 11 boys teams who did not move in the rankings. In 5A, both the Box Elder boys and girls split their region games

Ridgeline continues win streak against Mountain Crest – Cache Valley Daily

HYRUM – An energized Mountain Crest team mucked up the first quarter against Ridgeline, down 12-6, before the Riverhawks flexed their talent to go on a 40-20 run over the next two quarters. Eight different Riverhawk players scored in the first three quarters as their depth allowed them to wear down the Mustang defense on the way to a 63-46 win, seven straight over Mountain Crest. Only three players had scored at halftime for Mountain Crest as the Ridgeline size made anything in the paint tough and the guards stopped two of the Mustangs’ big three scorers. Oliver Nethercott, averaging almost nine points a game, was held scoreless and Joseph Hunsaker had only four. Hunsaker had back-to-back double digit games and has been averaging nine points a game since being put in the starting lineup. Preston Lofthouse finished, tied for the game high, with 18 points.
