Corner Canyon boys basketball landed at No. 4 in the Class 6A preseason coaches poll, the Deseret News reported Wednesday, Nov. 11. The 6A season tips off Tuesday, Nov. 17.
The ranking puts the Chargers squarely in the mix despite a 12-13 record in 2025-26.
Five teams received first-place votes in 6A, according to the poll. No clear front-runner emerged. American Fork narrowly claimed the top spot for the second straight year, followed by Lone Peak at No. 2, Mountain Ridge at No. 3, Corner Canyon at No. 4 and Farmington at No. 5.
American Fork went 18-8 last season and reached the semifinals but graduated its top two scorers. Defending state champion Westlake, which returns one starter, narrowly missed the top five. Westlake, Layton, Lehi, Bingham and Herriman all received multiple votes outside the top five.
Corner Canyon head coach Dan Lunt enters his 11th season leading the Chargers. A February 2026 post from the Corner Canyon Basketball Instagram account listed Lunt's record at 175-83 at Corner Canyon through his first 10 years, with five state championship appearances and titles in 2019 and 2023. Across 37 years as a head coach at Corner Canyon, Payson and Union, Lunt had compiled 516 career wins as of that post.
Corner Canyon competes in 6A Region 3 alongside American Fork, Lehi, Lone Peak and Skyridge, according to the UHSAA Region III handbook. Two of those region rivals, American Fork and Lone Peak, sit above the Chargers in the preseason poll. Lehi received multiple votes outside the top five.
