Basketball: 2A MVP Parsons commits to Southern Utah
South Sevier's Jaden "Jadie" Parsons was in a hurry to get to her junior prom, and she was apparently in a hurry to commit to a college basketball program, too.

Parsons, a junior who was featured in a Tribune article a few months ago for the extreme measures she took to make it to prom, has orally committed to play basketball for Southern Utah University.

The 5-foot-8 Parsons averaged 13.9 points, five assists and 2.5 steals per game last year for South Sevier and was the Tribune's 2A MVP after leading the Rams to consecutive 22-2 seasons and back-to-back 2A state championships.

She carries a 3.98 GPA and played the past three years for the Salt Lake Metro club basketball team. She's ranked as one of the top combo guard prospects in the state by the Intermountain Hoops Scouting Service.

Parsons is the first Metro player from the class of 2009 to commit to a D-I program.

The Tribune's prep softball writer, Chhun Sun, has informed me that Taylorsville softball pitcher Ashlee Moore has signed with the College of Southern Nevada. Moore is the sixth senior on Taylorsville's powerhouse softball team to sign with a college program.
