CACHE VALLEY LOCAL RETURNS HOME TO PLAY BALL FOR THE AGGIES
Former Sky View Bobcat ‘excited’ to play in hometown.
LOGAN,Utah—Former Sky View basketball standout Clint Lee transferred to Utah State University Last season after playing one season at the college of Eastern Utah. After playing a year at the College of Eastern Utah and sitting out last season at Utah State due to injury, Lee is expected to make an impact playing forward for the Aggies this season.
Lee graduated from Sky View High School in 2003 after earning first team All-Region honors and second team All-State that year. He was recruited by the University of Utah and red-shirted one year under hall of fame coach Rick Majerus. After his red-shirt year at Utah he was called to serve a two year LDS mission in June of 2004 and returned to the hardwood for Eastern Utah for the 06-07 season. Lee is anxious to get back on the court after suffering an injury that kept him out all of last season.
“I’m so excited to be back in my home town. Playing here is like a dream come true,” Lee said. “I’ve waited for this for a long time and it’s an honor to be a part of such a successful program.”
Lee is expected to battle for some solid playing time at forward alongside sophomores Pooh Williams and Matt Formisano. He has two years of eligibility left making him a junior on the roster. He will be a part of an Aggie team that has a home record of 142–12 under current head coach Stew Morrill. The Aggies will be looking to capture the Western Athletic Conference Championship this year that would qualify them for the NCAA tournament.

good topic for a press release- has local interest and could easily find its way into newspapers, etc. Nice attention grabbing headline as well. However, work to bring the most important information to the beginning of the lead- your very last phrase in the first paragraph is the most important- don't "back in" to it.
it's a really interesting topic and it relates closely to out college life. As Karlie said in her comment, if you could bring more interesting paragraph to the first part of your news release, it's better.
thanks!
