Fallston junior Jess Harlee, who led the Cougars basketball team to the Class 3A state championship in March, has orally committed to play basketball for West Virginia in 2010-11.

A 6-foot All-Metro forward, Harlee had one of the most impressive individual performances in state girls basketball history in leading the Cougars (28-0) to a 65-62 title-game win over Paint Branch. She scored 28 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, when she went 10-for-12 from the free-throw line and hit two clutch free throws with 3.3 seconds left.

When Harlee gets to Morgantown, she will join two other All-Metro players who have signed to play with the Mountaineers next season, Player of the Year Asya Bussie from Seton Keough, and Akeema Richards from Western.
