Foul count awareness

Being an alumnus (thanks for the word, Chuck) of Orem High, I am thrilled to hear that. Who did they play? I spent much of my early years in different parts of the Silver State.

They beat Galena HS, which lost in last year's northern 4A regional semi-final. Nevada has three 4A regionals. One is in the north and the other two are in Vegas. The regional winners all go to state along with one of the 2nd place teams.
4A is our largest classification. I know Utah has 5A.
What is Orem classified? I'd guess 4A.
While they played very hard and fundamentally sound basketball, they didn't have much size. Of course, neither does Galena, which is coached in a very similar style. Hence the good match-up.
What Galena does have is the best player in northern nevada, perhaps the whole state (there are a couple of kids in Vegas who may be better). He scored 19 points.
Here is the clip from the paper:

"OREM (Utah) 52, GALENA 43 at Galena: Derek Lorenzen hit three 3-pointers and scored a team-high 19 points but it was not enough as the Grizzlies lost their season opener.

Luke Babbitt and Chad Sidenstricker added nine points each for Galena (0-1).

Tanner Lamb led all scorers with 21 points for Orem (1-0), while Chad Cusicke scored 15 and Blake Johnson added 10."

After having Lone Peak last year, Brighton and Bingham during the summer, and now Orem, I feel that I should be an honorary member of the Utah officials association.
