Recruiting cycle comes full circle for Salpointe's Harrisย 

Salpointe Catholic sophomore guardย Haylin Harris, the top girls golfer in Southern Arizona, made two free throws in overtime last week to help the Lancers beat Flowing Wells 48-42. It was a special night for Harris; Michigan State assistant golf coachย Aimee Neffย had flown to Tucson to watch (and recruit) Harris. Small world: A few years ago, Harris watched Neff, an All-State basketball player from Indiana, play in the state finals in Indianapolis. Neff went on to a standout golf career at MSU and is now attempting to get Harris to be a Spartan as well.ย
