Utah Girls Getting Noticed
Utah Girls Getting Noticed
A few years ago, only a handful of female basketball players from Utah landed college scholarships. Lately, however, they are getting free rides in droves, as college recruiters discover some talent here.
Scouts are also honing in on volleyball players, as last year a near-record number of spikers and setters from Utah earned college scholarships.
On the basketball front, a club team known as Salt Lake Metro and directed by Salt Lake City's Dave Hammer has expanded its progam to include girls the past few years, and the results have been astounding.
Hammer reports that 19 female members of the 2007 graduating class who worked with Salt Lake Metro will move on to play college basketball this fall and winter. Another will attend Utah State on a track scholarship. Also, two former players are making the jump from the junior college level to Division I.
Metro's girls program has now produced 31 college players in its two years of existence. Here's a list of the 19 girls and their college choices:
Heather Anderson, Woods Cross -- Otero (Colo.) Junior College
Brandi Barrett, Hurricane -- Dixie State College
Raimee Beck, Blackfoot, Idaho -- Air Force
