X chooses Eagle Scout project over UCLA -- for now
Timpview High lineman Xavier Su'a-Filo, one of the most heavily recruited high school football players in the country, dealt with a different kind of scouts last weekend when he was scheduled to visit UCLA to watch the Bruins play rival USC.

According to Bruin Report Online's Trace Pierson, Su'a-Filo skipped his official visit to UCLA because he was finalizing his Eagle Scout project. Su'a-Filo said he will re-schedule the visit for January.

Cottonwood High lineman John Martinez, the No. 3-ranked offensive guard in the country, did visit UCLA over the weekend. The Bruin Report Online says it hears that the feeling is that Martinez is headed to USC.

Kylin Munoz, the volleyball star from Monroe High in Washington who has signed with BYU's women's volleyball program, was recently named the Player of the Year in Washington prep volleyball.

The 6-1 outside hitter is ranked as the No. 6 senior recruit in the nation for the class of 2009 by prepvolleyball.com. She is one of 24 seniors nationwide who has been named to the AVCA All-America team.

Munoz narrowed her choices to Washington and BYU before choosing the Cougars.

"I am a Mormon, but that wasn't the major reason I chose BYU," Munoz told the Seattle Times. "I want to experience being on my own. I still enjoy doing my own thing."
