PRESENTING THE 2007-2008 RIVALS.COM FAB 50 NATIONAL
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL PRESEASON RANKINGS
20. Lone Peak (Highland, Utah) 24-1 (48)
Head Coach: Quincy Lewis
This could be one of the best teams ever from Utah and the Knights could get a chance to prove that by playing a more national schedule this season, including their appearance on Dec. 27-29 at the T-Mobile Invitational in New Mexico where they could face St. Anthony of New Jersey. Headlining a group of experienced players is 6-4 junior guard Tyler Haws, who was MVP of last year's Class 5A state playoffs where he shot 69 percent on three-pointers. In the state final, when Lone Peak drubbed Riverton, 68-43, the leading scorer was 6-7 Bracken Funk, who also returns this year and is headed to Fresno State. Also back is 6-9 Justin Hamilton (Iowa State) and 6-7 Josh Sharp, who also could end up with a Division I ride.
One correction to their story is that Josh Sharp has committed to Utah. Josh and Justin will sign their leaders of intent during next week's letter of intent signing period. Tyler is considered one of the top prospects in the country and is currently ranked 4th on the West Coast by Scouthoops.com, another national internet recruiting site. Another Metro player not mentioned in the story is Nate Austin who is considered the top post prospect in the state.
Congratulations to Lone Peak (and our Metro players) on their national ranking.
