Tribune writer Tony Jones' first-round picks:

Class 5A

Pleasant Grove at Riverton

PG » Vikings defense too tough whether Lloyd plays or not.

West at Davis

Davis » Tanner Hinds plus stingy defense equals easy win.

Weber at Hunter

Hunter » Wolverines have best offensive line in the state. That will be more than enough here.

West Jordan at Lone Peak

Lone Peak » Pedersen continues his spectacular season

Viewmont at Cottonwood

Cottonwood » The Colts get better by the week

Fremont at Alta

Alta » Hawks way too tough in this one

Jordan at Bingham

Bingham » Picked against Miners here last season. Got flak for it too

Skyline at Syracuse

Skyline » First "upset" alert. Not really an upset, though

Class 4A

Pine View at Spanish Fork

Pine View » Panthers play well on the road

Olympus at Timpview

Timpview » Thunderbirds have been toying with 4A this season

Salem Hills at Mountain Crest

Mountain Crest » The Alex Kuresa train marches on

Orem at Highland

Bountiful at Bonneville

Bountiful » Really dangerous game for the Braves, especially on the road

Mountain View at Dixie

Dixie » The trip down south too much for Mountain View

Sky View at Springville

Springville » Another even matchup. Homefield goes to Red Devils and so does win

Class 3A

Emery at Morgan

Morgan » An explosive team, Morgan will prove to be too talented

ALA at Hurricane

Hurricane » A state title contender, Hurricane rolls here

Grantsville at Park City

Park City » This will be short playoff run for Cowboys

Judge at Delta

Delta » This reporter has taken the trip to Delta. A rough trip at night

Desert Hills at Wasatch

Wasatch » Wasps advance another round

Bear River at Manti

Manti » Bear River's slide continues. This loss ends its season

Juab at Juan Diego

Juan Diego » Poor Juab. First year in 3A. Make the playoffs. Run into juggernaut

Union at Cedar City

Cedar City » Has just enough in this one

Class 2A

Kanab at San Juan

San Juan » A title favorite, San Juan controls things

Parowan at South Sevier

South Sevier » SS prevails

Grand at Enterprise

Enterprise » This is a team that's pulled off good wins this season

Millard at South Summit

South Summit » SS better be careful, Millard can play

Class 1A

Altamont at Milford

Milford » This should be a close game, though

Monument Valley at Duchesne

Duchesne » Another competitive game ... 1A should be fun
