Preps of the week
In a victory over Independence, Nev., last week, VanTassell racked up 44 points and 22 rebounds. The following day in a win over West Wendover, Nev., he recorded 19 points and 14 rebounds.
"Jay is a very coachable kid," said Tabiona coach Shay Price. "He is not only a great basketball player, but a great student as well. Jay is a very unselfish basketball player and makes everyone else around him better."
VanTassell maintains a 3.86 GPA and is averaging 20.6 ppg.
VanTassell was a second-team all-stater last year, and this fall, he was named a second-team all-state baseball player.
The 4.0 guard/forward has worked hard improving her game this past summer. Now she's working on elevating the play of those around her. "I think her teammates trust her more," Darger said. "They know they're safe around her; safe to make a mistake and safe to succeed."
