Lone Peak boys’ basketball coach leaves for Wasatch Academy

Powerhouse Lone Peak boys’ basketball is looking for a new coach after a seismic change among two of the most well-known programs in the state of Utah.

Dave Evans has resigned as coach at Lone Peak, the school announced on Friday, to take the head coaching job at Wasatch Academy, the independent powerhouse that plays a national prep schedule and has placed several recruits in Power Five programs.

Evans led Lone Peak to the 2018 Class 6A state championship one year after finishing runner-up in the 2017 Class 5A title game. He also led the team to three region championships

“Dave Evans has been an incredible teacher, coach and leader at Lone Peak High School,” said principal Scott Sumner in a statement. “His time and service have made a difference to everyone who has had the opportunity to work with him.”
