| 21 | Pine View | 4A | 14-14-1 |
Click to view MOREPine View is a part of one of the toughest regions in the state regardless of Classification in Region 9, and this year returns a strong core of pitchers and position players. Futures Games Alum Porter Campbell headlines that group and will lock down the middle of the lineup and CF once again this year. Pitching should be one of the strengths of the team with Tristan Sylvester and Hela Manutai leading the way. Senior Catcher Cash Sisneros looks poised to get the offense started at the top of the lineup, with a string of experienced hitters to follow. This group has a strong foundation and could be one to make a jump up the rankings if everything comes together.

| 22 | Provo | 4A | 18-10 |
Click to view MOREProvo enters the year with a duo of high quality Senior arms in Gehrig Orchard and Willilam Gulbrandsen that will keep them in any games they start. Although some of the core players returning from last year are young, that varsity experience combined with strong offseason performances will serve them well heading into Spring. Sophomores Dawson Moore and Taven Lancaster, Super Sophomore Games Alum, will be key contributors up the middle and behind the plate, providing athleticism and production throughout the season. With a strong group of returners and an exciting young core, the future is bright for Provo and they could make some noise late into May.

| 23 | West Field | 5A | 17-13 |
Click to view MOREWest Field makes the jump up this year to the 5A Classification, joining Region 5 and led by 1st year Head Coach, Tyler Barfuss. This year’s team is headlined by a strong, veteran group of Senior returners, including 4 players already committed to play ball at the next level. Grady Garrett provides stability and leadership behind the plate along with a strong LH bat in the middle of the lineup. The middle infield returns with USUE Commit, Marshal Moon, and one of the top 2028s in the Class in Kason Taylor, giving sound defense and two more quality LH bats. Key newcomers Jarrett Hill (Dodge City CC) and Samuel Smith (Futures Games Alum) will add to the offensive production and defensive versatility that should see this group make a push to the last weekend in 5A.

| 24 | Canyon View | 3A | 27-5 |
Click to view MORECanyon View is coming off one of the best seasons in school history, hoisting the 3A trophy after knocking on the door the past few seasons. Coach Jacobsen continues to compete year in and year out, developing talent and sending players to the college level. Senior 3-year starter Zach Maine and Senior Cannon Williams, are key returners from last year's state championship team who welcome a strong group of newcomers, headlined by one of the top Freshman in the Class, Preston Higgins. The 3A landscape is wide open heading into Spring and until further notice, Canyon View is the favorite with the rest of 3A putting them square in their crosshairs.

| 25 | Davis | 6A | 24-8 |
Click to view MOREDavis returns a strong group of core players led by Senior CSI Commit and Futures Games Alumni, Kaleb Weaver. Last year’s squad ended the year as one of the top teams in the 6A Class, posting a 24-8 record and a Final 4 finish at state playoffs. That experience and success are primary reasons for appearing in the initial Power 25, despite losing a number of key collegiate level players. The OF and offense will be the strength of the team, with Tyson Bagget game changing speed and Weaver moving to the OF, look for Davis to be an explosive offense in any given matchup. With newcomer Mitch Ossmen finally getting healthy, his production will add to the strength of the team and Davis has the culture to be a team poised to move up the rankings.
