Jaden Malone, a 6-foot 4-inch shooting guard who helped lead Volcano Vista to an undefeated season and a boys basketball state championship in March, signed his letter of intent to play basketball at New Mexico Highlands University next season.
Malone scored all six of his points in overtime of the state title game to help Volcano Vista win its second state championship.
There will be a familiar face on the NMHU team next year for Malone as his teammate, J’Kwon Hill, signed with the school last month.
