The Royals (18-5, 10-2 Region 5) have flipped the script on a disappointing 2024-25 campaign with one of their best seasons in recent memory, and notable wins over region foes No. 14 West Field (14-9, 9-3), No. 20 Box Elder (11-12, 6-6) and No. 21 Fremont (9-14, 7-5).

West Field will host No. 19 Viewmont in the first round; Box Elder, Fremont, No. 22 Northridge (11-12, 4-8) and No. 23 Clearfield (9-14, 6-6) all hit the road.

The top eight seeds in the 24-team field bye to the second round but none of Region 5’s contingent earned a bye.

All first and second-round matchups are held Feb. 18-20 at home sites. Subsequent rounds are held Feb. 23-27 at the University of Utah’s Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City.

Bonneville (2-21, 0-12) did not make the playoff cut.
