Lone Peak's Farish headed to SUU
Another outstanding girls basketball player from the Class of 2008 has made her college decision known.
Lone Peak senior Amanda Farish, a versatile inside-outside player who helped her team to the state semifinals last year, has verbally committed to Southern Utah University.
She's the seventh player from the club team Salt Lake Metro to commit to a Division I program in the past six months.
"I visited last weekend, and I just loved the coaching staff and the team, so I committed," Farish said. "I think their style of play just fits me really well."
Utah State and Snow College had also offered the all-state forward, while Salt Lake Community College and several out-of-state schools had expressed interest.
"It just came down to the environment down there," she said. "And I love the style of coaching."
Farish will join two other Utah prep products -- Beaver's Morgan Wood and Canyon View's Cassie Platt -- who have committed to Thunderbirds coach Steve Hodson.
Box Elder's Mandy Munns has committed to Utah, while Skyline's Dani Peterson and Timpview's Alexis Kaufusi have committed to BYU. Spanish Fork's Jenna Johnson will play for Utah Valley State College.
