“There is a buzz in this town right now, and that is because of her,” Devin Smith says. “To know UTAHWBB is a No. 2 seed, and one of [its] best players is from North Summit — that is unicorn stuff. We know her.”
To Utah fans, she is ‘Lightning McQueen.,’ but the Utes’ guard just wants you to know she is from Henefer.
“There is a buzz in this town right now, and that is because of her,” Smith says. “To know Utah is a No. 2 seed, and one of [its] best players is from North Summit — that is unicorn stuff. We know her.” Back in high school, when McQueen was being recruited by Utah, Utes head coach Lynne Roberts came to Henefer for an in-home visit. McQueen had the option to do the traditional stuff: nice dinner, talk with the family and give the pitch.
Other than that, it mostly is just a sleepy town, by McQueen’s estimation. Smith joked that usually the biggest thing that happens is Utah defensive coordinator Morgan Scally comes around once a year and asks if they have any football players. The two photo cases at Kennady McQueen's high school are of alums Brant Boyer, an NFL player who originally played at Snow College, and Doug Toole, an NFL ref.
And McQueen rode that special wave to becoming the Utah Gatorade Player of the Year in 2020, taking her team to the state title game along the way. All of a sudden the memories come rushing back. She remembers catching the bus in elementary school up to the high school to watch varsity basketball practice, where her mom helped coach for 20 years. She’d try to run the wind sprints with them, but couldn’t keep up.
