DANI PETERSON, Skyline, basketball: This senior center is doing just about everything for the Eagles but driving the team bus to games.
The future Cougar is leading all scorers in 5A with an average of 25 points per game. Add to that her talent for getting to the hoop, grab rebounds, play defense and even pass to cutting guards, and you have one of the key reasons why the Eagles are 4-0 in their first four games this season.
Peterson scored 26 points in her debut against Timpview, and scored another 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against Weber in the next game. She scored 35 points against West Jordan and 17 against Hunter.
"Only a handful of players of her height are as versatile," said Eagles coach Deb Bennett. "I'm glad she's on our team."
