Valley City (VCSU CSi) – The Valley City State University men’s basketball team has added to its 2017 recruiting class with the addition of Hunter McCalla.
Viking head coach Ryan Montgomery announced McCalla has signed a letter of intent to attend VCSU and play basketball for the Vikings starting this fall.
A native of Becker, Minn., McCalla is currently in his senior season at Becker High School. Montgomery says the 6-foot-4 McCalla is a bigger guard who can shoot the ball well.
Montgomery says, “We needed shooting in this class and Hunter helps fill that void. We also love his ability to pass the ball. At 6-foot-4, he can handle, distribute, and shoot the ball making him a great fit for VCSU basketball.”
McCalla averaged 10 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block per game last season as he helped Becker to a 14-14 overall record. He is a two-time All Conference Honorable Mention in basketball and was named Most Dedicated. He has also excelled in soccer, earning two All Conference awards.
McCalla plays his summer basketball with the Comets Elite DLR team. He is the son of Kory McCalla and Tracy McCalla, and plans to study business while at VCSU.
He joins Collin Trottier (6-foot-7 forward, West Fargo Sheyenne) as VCSU’s announced recruits for the 2017 class.
Valley City State University is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and a conference member of the North Star Athletic Association (NSAA). The Vikings are currently 7-4 this season as they enter conference play. Last season, the men’s basketball team posted a 22-11 overall record and advanced to the second round of the NAIA National Tournament for just the second time in school history.
