Talk about graduating ahead of his class. In just three years, it seems like Haws has done it all.

Fortunately for Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis, players cannot skip their senior year and declare themselves eligible for Division I basketball, so Haws will be back next season for his senior year.

What is there left for Haws to accomplish?

"I want three (state titles), man. We've got a ways to go. Last year we had a lot of guys coming back with varsity experience. Now I'm basically the only returning starter back," Haws said. "But there are a lot of different paths you can take to get to the top."

Haws averaged 20.8 points per game and shot 56 percent from the field. He averaged 4.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game and, of course, led the Knights to their second straight 5A championship.

"I am amazed at times as I watch him with what he did against Davis and other games," Lewis said. "He is a big-game player. He wants the big shot."

Haws' performance this year earned the respect of opposing fans, players and coaches.

"He's phenomenal. I didn't know how much better he'd be able to get after his sophomore year, but he got better," said Pleasant Grove coach Randy McAllister. "A lot people tried to bully him around him a little bit, but weren't able to do it. A huge part of his success was how he handled what defenses threw against him. He's rounded his game out to where he scores from everywhere, not just the 3."

The Daily Herald agreed, and for his efforts has given Haws its highest honor -- Valley Player of the Year. Each year the Herald sports staff selects a Player of the Year along with an All-Valley team as a way to honor the top high school basketball players in Utah Valley.

"First and foremost, he is a winner. He really doesn't care if he scores 30 or gets 12," Lewis said. "Secondly, he is extremely consistent. He averaged 21 points per game and never scored over 30, that is really an amazing number. He will continue to work this summer and with that will get better from where he is now. A year from now he will be well prepared to play at the college level."

It wasn't an easy title defense for Haws and his teammates. It looked like undefeated Davis would end Lone Peak's season in the 5A semifinals -- that is, until Haws pulled up from 15 feet and beat Davis at the buzzer to help the Knights advance to the title game, where they beat Bingham handily.

"I hear about it still almost every day. It was one of those things you dream about as a kid -- double overtime game, 10 seconds left, you have the ball in your hands and hit the winning shot," Haws said. "I had about 25 to 30 text messages telling me basically good job and how unreal the game was."

Now that the season is over, Haws said he stepped away from basketball for two weeks to rest mentally. He's now starting to prepare for the unthinkable -- a 5A three-peat something that's never been done before.

"It's been unbelievable. It was definitely a lot harder than the year before. We had a lot of expectations and so much talent," Haws explained. "I know they (state championships) are hard to win. I have been blessed to have the coach that I have and to have the type of players that I've had around me."

All of Haws' success has not gone unnoticed by college coaches. The line is forming. Letters arrive daily. He says he receives three or four phone calls per week. He is a hot commodity, but says he's trying to have fun with the recruiting process and probably won't decide until the fall.

"I've enjoyed it. You've got to enjoy it. Sometimes it's been a little crazy with a lot of phone calls and letters. My goal is to decide by the fall and to get it all figured out. I'll take my trips in the fall and try to see where the best place for me will be," Haws said. "It can be a selfish decision, because I've got to say, 'Where do I fit in the best? What kind of relationship will I have with the guys on the team and with the coaches?' "

Haws identified the schools which have expressed the most interest so far. Those include: BYU, Utah, Stanford, Marquette, Wake Forrest and Harvard.

As the son of former BYU guard Marty Haws, naturally Cougar fans want to know if that will help sway his decision to play in Provo.

"I kind of does, but my dad wants to best for me," he said. " I'm just looking for a school with good academics and I place where I fit in. I love to run. I feel like in the fastbreak my game really flourishes."

Wherever Haws goes, the plan is to play his freshman year and then serve an LDS church mission.

But all this future talk can wait. Now is the time for Haws to reflect on what has just happened and enjoy the thrill of victory awhile longer.

Besides, he's got some thinking to do.
