Comments about ‘High school boys basketball: Provo claims monster win’

Lone peak is over rated ty is good but thats it Lone peak will struggle this year.... the only won state the last two years because of the size they have had..... nothin to take away from ty he is great player but the size has won them state and they dont have it this year if spanish or pg or even west jordan had that size last year they woulda won it all so yeah great win by provo they will repeat as 4A state champs but its hard to say lone peak will

i think its a bit of a stretch to say that provo settled the debate over who was better between them and lone peak last year with their win tonight. I don't know much about either team, but I know Lone Peak lost Funk and Sharp and i'm sure at least a couple other key players, and no doubt Provo lost some players as well. Great win by provo, but it's not like it has anything to do with last year at all.

This was a close game and Lone Peak actually could have won, but the better of the two teams did prevail. Had Davies not got in foul trouble the game never would have gone to overtime. From what I saw Haws is going to get no help this year. Lone Peak took horrible shots and Haws bailed them out several times by getting to the hoop. But Provo had to use two or three guys to stop him, but no one else on Lone Peak showed the ability to help. Did you notice that Lone Peak did not make one three pointer? That was the difference. This is a poor shooting Lone Peak team. Provo is the best team in Utah. If Davies can stay in the game, they won't lose this year.

It was a great game and the future of BYU basketball is in very good hands. Haws is terrific in every way and Davies is an amazing talent. The surprize for me was Collinsworth. He carried the Provo team and brought them home. Both teams should have great seasons and compete for their respective state championships.

It's true that this win has nothing to do with last year but didn't Provo beat LP last year too? Make all the excuses you want but the scores prove it.

Provo is the better team in a clutch situation.

The Smith kid has two chances to win that game.

How did last night's win during THIS season prove to you that Provo was better than Lone Peak LAST season in any way, shape, or form? I think it is a "bit of a stretch" that you even tried to make any analogy at all. Lone Peak would have throttled Provo last year. It's not even debatable.

If you look closely at the box score, only four players from Lone Peak scored. If that is the type of "balance" that they are going to get this year, they will not win it all.

It is early.... a nice win for Provo no doubt. But let's see how things play out over the next couple of months before crowning your champion in early December.

Provo did play Lone Peak last year and Provo won, so it is debatable. Get your facts right.

Hey Say What? You do realize Lone Peak lost to Provo last year too, right? So much for your claim that "Lone Peak would have throttle Provo last year. It's not even debatable." Provo 64 Lone Peak 62 in Highland on 11/20/07. They played last year and Provo won. Therefore your statement is not just debatable, it's wrong. Nice try, but next time get your facts straight.

Lost to them last year and still won state

byu better pray it gets collinsworth... he's the best point guard the state might has ever had... and for all those who are going to argue about haws... yes... collinsworth is a better point as i see haws a 2 guard

they both won state last year to all the uneducated... lone peak won 5a an provo won 4a.... provo won head to head.... and provo won head to head

Provo won two years in a row against LP, say what you want about Haws for keeping his team in the game but he went cold on his last 8 or so shots

Provo lost to Lehi last year. Lehi was the best team in state.

My logic is as good as some of yours...

was settled last year in Highland when Provo beat Lone Peak. Maybe the writer should have researched last year before starting his article in the way that he did.

I wasn't aware that Provo beat Lone Peak last year, either way it still doesn't necessarily mean that night in and night out they were the better team. Basketball is a game where any good team can beat any other good team on any given night. Lone Peaks size last year made them almost unbeatable, Provo did manage to beat them by 2 points but lets be realistic: that lone peak team may have been the best team this state has ever seen.

Comes down to head to head Lehi guy.

The fact is that no one noticed when Hunter transfered back to Provo from Timpview, but that will prove to be the biggest key to Provo winning yet another state title. Davies has a history of foul problems and Hunter is a nice back up and great compliment player. Kid is still growing and my opinion could make a nice JC player somewhere. You add a JC guy to 2 LEGIT D1 guys (Collinsworth being projected as possibly a bigger find than Haws by many) Watch out! Last year Provo won it with those 2 kids as a Junior and Soph and a bunch of par for Provo role playing rebounders, passers and defenders. This year they have added fire power to go with the hustle and above mentioned traits of all Drury teams.

Not a big Drury fan, but the man can flat out coach the high school game. Lewis should go back to the tapes of his Dad's teams from Timpview that were able to get Provo a few times!

Love this stuff! Wish my only son hadn't graduated last year!

Tyler Haws needs help! He was constantly double and triple teamed. He set up teammates with potential game winning and wide open shots and it was brick city all night! Still, Haws ended up with a game high 28 points. I would take Haws every day of the week and twice on Sunday over any player in the state. Thank goodness he is going to be a Cougar! For the rest of his teammates, they better get it together if they want to make a run at the title. Provo got lucky. Period.

to say that lp is down this year and that they will struggle, and then at the same time that provo will win 4a state, is kind of a dumb comment. the game was double ot, where lp had missed 2 wide open three pointers to win the game. they didn't shoot well, i think we all saw that. but losing in double ot to what you guys say "is the best team in the state" in no ways means you are having a down year. and if you think haws is all that they have, you must not of watched them roll bountiful, the number 2 ranked team in 4a, by 30 points on wed. lp will again win state. remember last year provo beat them in a close game, and lp never lost a game in utah after that...expect the same

Didnt PG beat Provo by 30 last year?

Just wondering.
