Wasatch basketball reeling in post-season accolades

Several weeks after the scoreboard lights in The Nest have been off, the boys and girls basketball teams from Wasatch high school are still receiving applause.

Rebecca MaWhinney, who had a standout season as the lady Wasp’s top player, was selected to play in the Utah Valley All-Star Basketball Classic on Wednesday night at Provo high school.  The senior guard, who has signed to play basketball for Utah Valley University, scored 17 points for the North side in a losing effort.  Read the game report in the Daily Herald Prep Rally.

On Tuesday, the Deseret News announced their boy’s 3A All-State honorees, with a pair of Wasps getting a nod.  Junior point guard, Jeff Murdock was named to the 2nd Team while senior forward Chris Johnson received an Honorable Mention.

Murdock and Johnson were also both selected to the 1st team 3A Region 10 team last week.  Senior guard Cooper Ballstaedt was chosen for 2nd Team in the region. 

Congratulations to all four Wasatch student athletes on their outstanding seasons.
