"The relationship I have built with the coaches & team over the past several months really made UTEP feel like home," Heights point guard Gracelynn Alvarez, who verbally committed to the Miners on Sunday, said. Alvarez was a key part to Heights posting an impressive 26-9 overall record and going 11-1 in district play last season. In fact, the Alvarez family built their own basketball court from the ground up in their backyard. "I've been playing ball since I was four-years-old and I can honestly say this is my passion," Alvarez said.
