Mika completely dominated throughout the tournament and won himself 5A tournament MVP honors as a result. The debate will continue to rage regarding which Lone Peak player is the best college prospect, but there's little debate about which player was the most difficult matchup for opponents — it was Mika.
The future BYU Cougar averaged 16.2 points and 13 rebounds while sitting for much of the fourth quarter in all four games played.

A great tournament and great recruits. Many other players will help stock other schools besides Utah, Utah State and BYU. An example is Conner Toolson who continues to make great contributions for Lone Peak.
