Leaving the coast for the Rockies

6-foot-1 Taylor Fox, the Mission Trails Athletic League  (MTAL) most valuable player two years running while playing for Santa  Catalina High in Monterey, has signed with Colorado State-Pueblo. The ThunderWolves play in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and went 21-11 overall, 13-6 in league play. during the 2009-2010 season.

Fox averaged over 21 points per game last season, a year in which her squad garnered a second straight league championship.

Her strengths are many: leadership, great attitude, three-point range, being a creator and passer.

Other options included Seattle University and USF.

Fox played for the West Valley Basketball Club out of Saratoga, CA. and was first seen by CSU-Pueblo Coach Kip Drown during a tournament in Phoenix.

She is also a top volleyball player but Fox will focus on hoops for the ThunderWolves.
