Former St. Cloud State University men's basketball player Zach Goring recently guided his Apple Valley High School team to the 2017 MSHSLÂ Class 4A championships at the Minneapolis Target Center on March 25.
Goring, who is the head coach at Apple Valley H.S., played point guard for the Huskies from 1996-200.  He is 10th in the record books for most assists in a season. He handed out 168 in the 1999-00 campaign. He's 15th on the career assists list.
This is Goring's third state title at Apple Valley High School, a suburban school that has students from Eagan, Rosemount and Apple Valley.
Apple Valley won the 2017 title with a 60-54 victory over Champlin Park.
It's the second time in three seasons that the Eagles have ended the Rebels' shot at a perfect season. Apple Valley won the 2015 title by defeating a Champlin Park team that also was 31-0 at the time.
"I'm still a little bit in shock that we were able to do this with a different group of kids," Goring said. "I thought we could get to the state tournament this year. After that, I didn't know."
