If it is rescheduled, Gavin indicated the match would probably take place on Jan. 23. Uintah brings an enviable record into the Lehi matchup after having won their own tournament last week at Vernal. Gavin feels that the Utes are the team to beat for the state title even though Wasatch is ranked sixth nationally by Center Mat magazine. "The Utes are deep and can score at any weight," according to Gavin.
