I seriously doubt that Utah allows a kid to play in the jv game and the varsity game that follows.
You'd be surprised. I did a small school JV/V DH last year and noticed one girl sitting in the stands, in uniform, during the JV game. I asked at a break about why she was there. The answer?

There must be at least one player difference between the JV and V teams. This school fields the same team for both games. But one girl sits out the JV game, another sits out the V game.

BTW, it's not that unusual at larger schools for a single player to play in the sophomore, JV and V games in a single day. Sometimes most of the soph. and JV games. It seems the reason for having sophomore basketball at all is to give the kids more playing time.
