Game Night Live Rewind: Tourney Picks For Girls Hoops

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The regular season of girl’s basketball is over and it is officially state tournament time in the state.

Seedings and brackets for the upcoming tourney were recently released.

Game Night Live Rewind hosts Dusty Lister and Dane Stewart broke down the 5A and 6A basketball brackets and gave their picks.

“Interesting that Fremont did not finish with the number one seed, it was the Herriman Mustangs,” Stewart highlighted. “Both these two teams I think certainly have all the potential in the world to go contend and compete for a state championship. I was surprised to see Herriman with one loss edging out Fremont. I think that’s probably largely due to region play, but it was interesting to me just to see that.”
