5A-Region 5 Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this edition, we take a look at Fremont, Bonneville, and Box Elder<br><br>Fremont Silverwolves<br>2024 record: 8-4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Key Games:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday, August 15- at Weber<br>Wednesday, October 15- Roy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Silverwolves have a key opener and closer. They'll need to beat Weber on the road as if they lose that, they could end up starting the season 0-3. The Weber game is critical for their season. They close the regular season with Roy, and that could be for the region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Hardest Games:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday, August 22- at Davis<br>Friday, August 29- Corner Canyon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The toughest games take place early in the season and in back-to-back weeks. After going to Weber, the Silverwolves will have to go to a hostile environment at Davis, the season opener comes against the reigning and defending 6A state champions, Corner Canyon. That is a brutal couple of games for Fremont. If they can sneak a victory against either opponent, it will be a massive victory. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Outlook:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Silverwolves have an easy remaining schedule that they should win easily. The quartet of games will determine how successful their season is, and Fremont has every chance to be region champions. <br><br>Key players:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["717883"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06a8c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moa is an elite athlete and a tremendous talent who is primed for his final season. He is an exceptional receiver, with great footwork, hip sink, moves well laterally, has good speed and a great quick burst and acceleration. His skill set translates even better as a cornerback. He has tremendous hip fluidity. Moa moves well laterally and has excellent athleticism and great anticipation. He can be a cover corner who can be on an island, a deep safety where he can showcase his speed and range, and even a hybrid backer, and he can showcase his physicality. Moa will be a multi-year Power-Four starter, and his talents will translate to the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["717885"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06af1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tuatagaloa is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the state, and he'll stress defenses all year as he is a threat to pick up chunk yards with his legs and is deadly with his arm. Tuatagaloa is a quick processor, has good ball placement, throws a nice intermediate ball, and has full command of the offense. The Silverwolves are in good hands with him at the helm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["718013"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06b3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parker is an exciting two-way athlete who is another that is primed for a fantastic season and will get recruited regionally. On offense, he is someone who excels creating on his own with the ball in his hands. Parker is someone who does well in space and should get in motion pre-snap to draw the defense. He does well with short area targets and on rushing attempts, and is a good route runner to win intermediate and deep. Defensively, he showcases good stick as a defensive back and has the range to close ground and the speed to take chances. He'll be one of the playmakers this season for the Silverwolves. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1558564"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06b88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hadley takes over as the lead rusher. He is a three-down back and, as a receiver out of the backfield, has soft hands and doesn't fight with the ball. He has good vision as a rusher, and has good size and a frame that he should continue to grow into. He has good enough speed to get to the edge and pick up chunk yards. He has a nose for the end zone and should get to double-digit touchdowns this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1148491"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06bd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Masters has good size and frame and should continue to grow into it. He is a physical player with a good first step and good closing speed. Masters does a good job of shedding his blocks and continues his pursuit. He's an excellent rusher and isn't lost in space when in coverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709020"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06c18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell has good enough length to be a cornerback and has the physicality and range to be a safety. Bell is in line for a big season and should step into a big role for the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bonneville Lakers<br>2024 record: 3-8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Key Games:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday, September 26- Box Elder<br>Friday, October 3- Clearfield<br>Friday, October 10- at Northridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lakers have a tough schedule, so they need to win all three of these games to have a shot at the postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Hardest Games:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday, August 15- Viewmont<br>Friday, August 22- at Stansbury<br>Friday, September 5- at Fremont<br>Friday, September 19- at Roy<br>Friday, October 17- Salem Hills</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are tough games, even with facing teams that are lower than 5A, those games are tough. The Lakers need to come away with one win in these five games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Outlook:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's a tough schedule, they'll need to upset some teams and have close games go their way for them to have a shot at the postseason. <br><br>Key players:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683641"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06c63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Toula looked good in his opportunities last season, and if he can win the starting job, it should help the Lakers for the upcoming season. He is a quick processor, had good ball placement, and is accurate with his passes and keeps the ball out of danger. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556067"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6874778e06cab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cantwell is a mismatch. The tight end can be lined up in-line or detached from the line. Cantwell moves well, is strong at the catch point, and has good athletic movement patterns. He should have another exceptional season, and he is a player who is too fast for backers and too strong for defensive backs. He should get looks in recruiting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Box Elder Bees<br>2024 record: 4-7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Key Games:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday, August 15- at Deseret Park<br>Friday, August 22- Layton<br>Friday, August 29- Bear River<br>Friday, September 5, Northridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bees need to win all four games as they have a tough stretch of games afterwards.

He finds himself close to the ball and constantly makes plays. He has good tackling form and is a backer who is best as an on-ball backer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That was our first look at Region 5. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
