STEVEN CROWL
Eastview • basketball

In a news release announcing that Steven Crowl had signed a letter of intent to play for Wisconsin, Badgers coach Greg Gard said, “From the first time we saw him, Steven has continued to grow and develop as a player. He has a great feel for the game … and (he) has the ability to score both inside and out.”

Crowl’s development has been on display in the first two weeks of the season. Crowl, a 6-9 senior, scored 61 points to lead the Lightning to two victories last week.

Crowl, who averaged 19.8 points per game last season, scored 34 points in Eastview’s 86-72 victory over Chaska. On Saturday, Crowl scored 27 points to lead the Lightning, ranked No. 9 in Class 4A, to a 98-82 victory over No. 8 Wayzata in the Tip-Off Classic at Hopkins.

On the season, Crowl is averaging 29.7 points per game. He scored 28 in Eastview’s season-opening 82-50 victory over Champlin Park.

Crowl shot 39% from three-point range last season.
