Video on this Kid
I was impressed with the first video I saw of this kid. But it wasn’t on the basketball court. It was in a presentation by the LDS Church General Young Men’s Presidency. Tyler was serving as his wards Teacher’s Quorum President, and their meetings were video taped to show how to correctly work with Aaronic Priesthood Presidencies. Tyler stood up and took control as quorum president and ran things the way they should be run. I know, I know, when you put a camera on a group, they tend to step and and perform. I was assured, however, by Brother Burgess (another great Alpine, Utah name), and uncle to Sam Burgess, that this was how they functioned all the time. I was impressed with his leadership skills.
Numbers on the Court
His numbers on the court would also bare this out.
Points per Game: 21
Rebounds: almost 5 per game
Assists: 3.1
Steals: 1.5
Accolades
He also brings with him a long string of recognitions.
2 time 5A MVP
2 time 1st team All State
Deseret News Mr. Basketball for the State of Utah
Utah Gatorade Player of the Year
1 of 100 Seniors Nationwide invited to NBA Player Association Camp
Excited
Cougar fans everywhere are excited to see him follow in his father’s (Marty Haws) footsteps. I don’t ever remember a kid who has gotten so much fan attention for so long. Coach Dave Rose will be happy to have Haws in the House. I will be looking forward to seeing him on the hardwood in cougar blue!
