Key Matchups: Bingham has several exciting matchups lined up, including games against Riverton (January 10 and 31), Copper Hills (January 17 and February 7), and Mountain Ridge (January 21 and February 11).

West Jordan has already played one game this season, which ended in a loss. On November 21, they faced Copper Hills and were defeated with a final score of 37-70. Despite putting up 12 points in the first quarter and 18 in the third, West Jordan was unable to finish strong, failing to score any points in the fourth quarter. This loss marks their current record as 0-1.

Scoring Breakdown:

• Quarterly Scoring: West Jordan’s points were distributed across the game, with their highest-scoring period being the third quarter (18 points). However, the lack of a strong finish in the fourth quarter suggests some areas of improvement for the team in closing out games.

Upcoming Games: West Jordan’s upcoming games include matchups against Riverton (December 17) and Mountain Ridge (December 13). These games will test the team’s resilience and ability to bounce back from their opening loss.

Team Comparisons and Common Opponents

Looking Ahead

For both teams, the season is still very young, with plenty of opportunities for improvement. Bingham has yet to play a game, so it remains to be seen how they will perform in competition. West Jordan, on the other hand, will need to work on consistency, especially in closing games strong, after their early loss.

As the season progresses, both teams will continue to face tough competition, but with the right adjustments and teamwork, both Bingham and West Jordan could become serious contenders in their league. Fans of both teams will be watching eagerly as the season unfolds.
