Elly Evarts likely already had a spot on Shane Lawal's Michigan Storm Elite AAU basketball team following Evarts' freshman season at Gibsonburg.
It didn't hurt that Evarts scored 31 points in a victory over Toledo Christian for the first district crown in program history, with Lawal watching for the first time. Three year's later, Lawal encouraged Evarts to follow her heart with a verbal commitment last week to continue her career at Kent State.
High school basketball Derek Colston was like putty for Port Clinton coach Troy Diels
Evarts, who set a Division I goal with her dad before her freshman season, didn't feel stress while trying to make her decision, but the relief took more weight off than she realized it would.
"I can go into the high school season not worried abut who is there," she said. "You know who wants you. I'm very excited for the upcoming year and very grateful for it all. Now, all I have to do is play basketball."
