Women's Basketball: BYU signs two high school stars
BYU has signed a pair of high school stars to its women's basketball team, including a highly touted guard from Wasatch High in Heber City.
Signing with the Cougars are Wasatch's Kim Parker and Stephanie Vermunt, a 6-0 forward from Alberta, Canada.
"We're excited to have these two outstanding student-athletes join our program," said coach Jeff Judkins. "Both will fit in with our program and will be a big part of our team."
Parker, 5-11, led the Wasps to the 3A state title last season. In her junior year, she averaged 14.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.9 steals and 2.0 blocks. She's a two-time First Team All State and a two-time All-Region honoree and was named to last year's State Championship All-Tournament Team.
"Kim is the best player out of the state of Utah and has been playing on a winning program," added Judkins. "She's a tough, solid player, a good rebounder and passer, shoots the ball well outside, and a versatile player."
Vermunt prepped at Bert Church High School. She has been a member of the NSD (National Sports Development) for the past two years. In July 2008, she was recognized as one of Canada's top under 18 year old players. Vermunt was also part of the U18 Canada Junior Women's National Team that qualified for the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship for Women. In August of 2008, she garnered NSD Athlete of the Month honors.
