Stokes leads U.S. to bronze

UConn recruiting target Kiah Stokes had 10 points and five rebounds to lead the United States to a 34-16 win over Canada in the bronze medal game at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.

Stokes, a 6-foot-3 forward/center from Marion, Iowa, led the U.S. team in scoring (12.3 points per game), rebounding (4 per game), field goal percentage (59.4) as well as field goals and free throws attempted and made.

"This experience was great," Stokes said. "The 3-on-3 (format) was different at the beginning, but eventually the whole team got to love it. It was really fun being in Singapore all the way across the world. It’s something I never thought I would get to do. It’s a great city and the people nice. Everyone here loves the USA and wants pictures, it’s almost kind of like we’re famous. It’s a great feeling."
