Encino man: Avery chooses a high school
Michael Avery, the eighth-grade basketball player who committed to Kentucky before choosing a high school, has decided to remain in California as he prepares for life as a Wildcat, the Los Angeles Times reported on a high school sports blog Saturday.
Avery has decided to enroll at Crespi High School in Encino, after also considering attending Culver Academy, a private school in Indiana.
The report said Avery is officially registered at Crespi.
"I hope the hoopla will disappear after he's at Crespi and with his teammates," Crespi Coach Russell White told reporter Eric Sondheimer on Saturday. "I realize this is a new situation for me and my staff. I've got to focus on getting him acclimated and accepted to our program for who he is."
