Basketball: Heber City 15-under team goes 5-2 in Las Vegas
Watch for Wasatch High in Heber City to have some pretty good boys basketball teams in the next few years.
While most of the big summer basketball tournaments in Las Vegas were contested last week, a Wasatch-based team of 15-and-under players participated in the National Youth Basketball Association tournament this week.
The team went 5-2 overall with just Heber Valley kids despite often playing against all-star type teams. They went 2-1 in pool play and advanced to the highest (Platinum) bracket, where they went 3-1.
Wasatch met up with the only other Utah-based team, Utah Select, in its second round of bracket play and managed to defeat the St. George-area team.
Utah Select went 2-1 in pool play before getting ousted by Wasatch.

It's nice to see someone commenting about this Wasatch team. These boys have played together for a long time, and have worked hard to become a team that can compete against the best of the best. While the boys have put in a lot of work, however, the real kudos go to their coach, Butch Murdock. Butch has spent countless hours with these boys and is constantly looking for opportunities to give them experience and challenge their skills, all at no charge (rather, at a pretty big cost to himself in terms of both time and money). Butch has performed a tremendous service to these boys and their families, and has built a solid foundation for the Wasatch basketball program. You'll definitely be seeing these boys in the future.
