Given the Buffalos' advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 59th in Utah, while the Eagles are ranked 271st in Arizona), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Valley might still be hurting after the 64-41 defeat they got from Panguitch in their previous meeting back in January of 2024. Thankfully for Valley, Cache Eyre (who went 7 for 14 on his way to 19 points in addition to six rebounds and five assists) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
