Here are a few of the top prep performers from last week:
• Boys' basketball —Jake Miles, Morgan: Miles has been one of the most consistent players in the state, helping the Trojans jump out to a 5-0 region record. Last week, he piled on 29 points and 7 rebounds against Bear River in a high-scoring 72-64 win. Morgan also played a close game against Grantsville, but Miles still led the team with 17 points and adding 5 rebounds.
• Girls' basketball — Whitney Mitchell, Taylorsville: The Warriors guard was on fire last week. In two region wins, Mitchell scored 45 combined points and shot seven 3-pointers. On both nights, she led her team in scoring, and with her two efforts last week, she now has four games with 20 points or more this year. With Mitchell heating up, Taylorsville looks like the favorite to win Region 2.
• Wrestling — Jed Mellen, Payson: It's tough to go against one of the top-ranked wrestlers in the country, and mentally it can be harder when that guy has already beaten you. After losing to Centennial's Hayden Tuma in Reno, Mellen made it his personal mission to beat the No. 7-ranked sophomore the next time he faced him. At this weekend's Rumble, Mellen stunned Tuma with a 4-2 overtime victory that was a tribute to his dedication the past few weeks.
