VICTOR HARP
School: Overland High School
Year: Senior
Height: 6-foot-5
2021-22 average: 10.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.0 steals
Season highlights: Coach Danny Fisher’s Overland team played a brutally difficult schedule, which is one of the reasons for a 1-9 record through the first half, but came on in Centennial League play and advanced to the second round of the state tournament before suffering a tough road loss at Mountain Vista. While the return of junior Marzouq Abdur-Razaaq was transformative, so was the development of the versatile Harp, who increased his production in every statistical category as he earned All-Centennial League second team accolades. He scored in double figures eight times for Overland and three times reached 20 or more points, including a season-high 25 in a Centennial League win over Grandview and 20 in a 5A first round state playoff win over Fruita Monument. Harp’s scoring average climbed from 7.2 points per game as a junior to 10.9 as a senior, while his average of 7.1 rebounds also ranked second and he paced the Trailblazers with an average of 1.9 blocked shots per contest. Harp earned selection for the A-Town All-Star Game for the first time.
