It was a nationally ranked matchup tonight at LCA as the Eagles welcomed in Timpview and man, did it live up to the hype!

After the Thunderbirds got a bucket with 4 seconds left to take a 1 point lead, LCA's Emilis Zibudu did this...

Layton Christian with a huge come from behind victory over #17 in the nation Timpview. LCA improves their record to 17-3 with the victory.

Emilis Zibuda sent the home crowd home happy with a game winner on a full court layup at the buzzer

Thank you for all the schools that made time to watch Layton Christian Academy play in Los Angeles. During our 5 games in California, LCA drew a ton of college coaches looking for talent to recruit.

[Casey Stanley @CoachStanleyWU]

What a great Christmas present for Layton Christian! In the latest poll, @MaxPreps ranked LCA as the 37th best basketball team in America. Eagles head to California for their next 6 games to play against some of the best teams in America in hopes of improving their ranking!

[Casey Stanley @CoachStanleyWU]

Thank you to all the Layton Christian players, coaches, and school staff that made everyday fun!

[KSL Sports Rewind @KSLSportsRewind]

If you haven't been to a game at Layton Christian Academy, it truly is one of the most unique gyms in the state which is a great addition to the great basketball that gets played there!

The Eagles got a fierce battle from Corner Canyon tonight but it was Emilis Zibuda's performance that stood out for LCA as they picked up the win and moved to 4-0 on the season!

Let’s work 🦅

[Casey Stanley @CoachStanleyWU]

LCA is staring down one of the toughest slates in America. Games in multiple states, ranked programs & elite prospects. For the 2nd straight year, we are facing a Top-10 schedule nationally. We bring together kids from across the world who relocate to Utah for top flight exposure

[Casey Stanley @CoachStanleyWU]

Layton Christian 2026 Wing @ezyox_ had great events at @brdrleague & @greatwesterncl these past 2 weeks. The Lithuanian National team star is a true 6'7 3 point sniper but also brings good team defense and shares the ball well with teammates.

🇱🇹 Emilis Zibuda (class of 2027) was a big part of Lithuania's run at the U16 EuroBasket. With 11.9pts, 5.6rebs and 2.1asts, he was a consistent threat on the offensive end. Shooting well from three, his rim attacks were well thought out, providing instant offense
