Faris honored by Parade

UConn signee Kelly Faris was one of 10 players named Parade Magazine first team All-Americans.

Faris, a 5-foot-11 guard/forward, averaged 14.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.4 steals to lead Heritage Christian to its fourth straight Indiana 2A championship.

Faris is joined on the first team by 6-foot sophomore Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis of Mater Dei of Santa Ana, Calif. who made an unofficial visit to UConn in January and is expected to be rated as one of the top - if not the best - recruit in the high school Class of 2011.

Samarie Walker out of Chaminade Julienne High in Dayton, Ohio, one of four high school juniors to orally commit to UConn, is a third-team selection while North Babylon (N.Y.) junior guard Bria Hartley, the only uncommitted high school junior to have a scholarship offer from UConn, was a second team selection.

Baylor commit Brittney Griner was named the magazine's national player of the year.

The team will appear in this Sunday's edition of Parade Magazine.
