Utah high school teams outgrowing their reputations
By Kyle GoonThe Salt Lake Tribune, 12-17-2011
On Thursday night, the Utah basketball community turned its eyes to the gym at Orem High School. The Great Western Shootout was only a high school basketball tournament in its inaugural year. But judging from the crowd, you could tell it was already a hot ticket.
There were hundreds of fans, jumping up and down and cheering. Larry Krystkowiak stopped by, as did half the BYU men’s basketball team and a dozen area college coaches.
Even Jerry Sloan — whose mere presence caused the students to stop watching the game to chant his name — would stop by that night, nestling into a high corner of the stands.
