Faris Miami bound

While she was not selected to the WBCA All-American game being held in St. Louis on April 4, UConn signee Kelly Faris was one of the 24 players selected to play in the McDonald's All-American game on April 1 at the University of Miami.

Before she heads for the Sunshine State, the 5-foot-11 wing from Plainfield, Ind. who is averaging 14.4 points, 9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.7 steals and 1.8 blocks has some unfinished business as she attempts to lead her Indianapolis-based Heritage Christian to its fourth straight Indiana 2A title.

After rolling to two wins in the sectional portion of the tournament, Heritage Christian will play in the Lawrence Central Regional on Saturday. If Heritage Christian beats Hagerstown in the 10 a.m. game, the Eagles would play either Winchester or North Decatur at 8 p.m. A victory would move Heritage Christian into what Indiana calls it's "Semi-State" portion of the draw on Feb. 28. The 2A championship game is Mar. 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
