4A

Can you spell DYNASTY?

If you didn’t spell it T-I-M-P-V-I-E-W, then you made a big mistake. Timpview has won three of the last four state titles in 4A and opens the season as the unanimous pick of the 4A coaches to do it again. Head coach Louis Wong has posted a 45-4 record over those three years, including the state’s current longest winning streak (24 games).

Timpview also has three of the state’s top Division I prospects with Xavier Su’a-Filo (6-4, OL), Bronson Kaufusi (6-6, DE, Jr.) and Craig Bills (6-2, DB) leading the Birds’ quest for a state three-peat.

Coming in at the No. 2 spot in the 4A preseason poll are the Colts of Cottonwood and the state’s most highly-recruited player this year, senior offensive lineman John Martinez (6-3, 265). Martinez has a pile of offers from universities across the country and already – Notre Dame, BYU, Utah, LSU, Ohio State, USC and UCLA among them.

State 4A runner-up in 2007, Pine View High School of St. George, is tabbed at No. 3 in the first poll, followed closely by the Mountain Crest Mustangs and Highland Rams in rounding out the top five.
