SMITHFIELD — Flanked by celebratory balloons, treats and drinks, Sky View two-sport star Mason Falslev and his basketball coach, Kirk Hillyard, fought back tears.
Falsev, after an emotional expression of thanks to his parents and supporters, leaned forward and put pen to paper, officially pledging his basketball talents to the University of Utah and its head coach, Larry Krystkowiak.
“Ever since I was young, my dream was to play at a college,” Falslev said. “I’m so excited to go to Utah. It’s going to be awesome.”
Falslev, a three-star recruit, led the Bobcats on a memorable playoff run last season, downing the top-rated 4A team in the state en route to becoming the only No. 4 seed since at least 2008 to win a state championship at the 4A level.
