Lost in the hubbub surrounding Saturday night's dramatic girls' First Region final between Murray and Calloway County was the revelation that Calloway star Averee Fields, one of the state's top juniors, will announce her college choice on March 15.
The kicker is that the announcement and ceremony will be in the Murray Room at Murray State University's Regional Special Events Center, fueling speculation that Fields may spurn interest from bigger schools to stay at home and attend Murray State.
I asked Murray coach Rob Cross, who has been recruiting Fields hard for a couple of years, what he knew about it and got only a little smile as a reply. Really, the fact that the announcement will be made on campus makes you wonder.
Fields has had several Big East schools (Villanova, West Virginia, Seton Hall, Louisville and Marquette) check out her game in recent weeks, as have others such as Michigan, Western Kentucky, Tennessee State and Tennessee-Martin.
