ON HITE: "Playing a zone defense can be hazardous to your win-loss record if Kelly Hite is in the oppositions lineup. But don't make the mistake of thinking he is just a one-dimensional player, just a long-range shooter. Kelly is a capable ball-handler and passer as well as a heady, intelligent defender, " said Vince Murray of Florida Focus who rated Hite as one of the top-25 seniors in the state of Florida last year... Averaged 15.4 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game and was a Second Team All-State selection following his senior season...
