St. Bonaventure has signed a pair of Prince George’s County basketball products, according to the school’s athletic Web site. Hillary Haley, a 6-foot-6 forward from Friendly High, signed a National Letter of Intent on Friday. Former National Christian player Chris Matthews, a 6-4 guard, has declared that he will transfer to the Bonnies from Washington State.
Haley, who played last season at North Atlanta Prep, will be a freshman next season for the Bonnies. He averaged 20 points and eight rebounds per game at Friendly and played in the 2006 Capital Classic.
By NCAA eligibility rules, Matthews will sit out next season. He averaged 3.7 points per game last season, helping Washington State (25-7) earn the No. 3 seed in the NCAA East Region. Matthews played three seasons at National Christian, followed by one at Lutheran Christian Academy in Philadelphia.
