Basketball: Oly wing Green's stock is rising
Move over Tyler Haws, C.J. Wilcox, Brandon Davies and Nate Austin....There may be another rising senior in the state who plays his way into the minds and hearts of college recruiters.

His name is Corbin Green, and he's a 6-foot-5 wing who will be a senior at Salt Lake City's Olympus High this fall. Yup, he's the younger brother of University of Utah forward Shaun Green.

Corbin Green scored 40 points, making eight three-pointers, as the club team Salt Lake Metro Black defeated national powerhouse Belmont Shore 72-64 in the Cream of the Crop tournament in Hawthorne, Calif., recently.

Metro Black also beat the Arizona Rebels 55-52 in the tournament, but lost 76-72 in its final game to the L.A. Dream Team.

Bear River's Wade Bronson added 14 points to Green's phenomenal shooting and Bingham's Ben Clifford, one of the top players in the class of 2010, had 17 rebounds against Belmont.

Clifford's three-point play with four seconds remaining was the difference in the win over the Arizona team, but Brighton sophomore-to-be Corbin Miller was the star with 21 points.

Against the Dream Team, Miller led the way with 17 points and Hillcrest's Kyle Maughan added 12.

Other members of the team: Judge's Dee Crandall, Cedar City's Joel Einfeldt and West Jordan's Mason Sawyer.
