Montana State University-Northern women's basketball coach Chris Mouat has announced the signing of Turner star Shyan Krass to join the Skylight program next fall.  Krass, a 6-4 forward, averaged 21 points and 16 rebounds per game for the Tornadoes this past season.  She shot nearly 52 percent from the field and 76 percent from the foul line.  She also averaged 3 blocks and 1.6 steals per game.

"We are thrilled to have Shyan on board.  She is a person we've watched and known for a long time, and I believe she has a great future in a Skylight uniform" Mouat said. "she's a great student and a person of high character.  I believe that her potential is unlimited and look forward to her progress on and off of the floor at MSU-Northern."

Krass is a three-time All-State selection, and a four-time (once second team, three times first team) All-Conference pick.  She played five varsity seasons of basketball and was a full-time starter for four.  She also participated in track and field, where she qualified for the State Class C Track Meet in the discus.

Academically, Krass was an honor roll student, an Academic All-State honoree, and the president of the National Honor Society.

Mouat added, "Shyan has incredible potential at the college level.  She has size and length and can run the floor, and does a great job on the boards.  Plus, she has the ability to step out and shoot the perimeter shot.  She is a player with unlimited potential."

Shyan is the daughter of Lorin and Jill Krass.  She carries a 3.91 grade point average and plans on majoring in Health and Physical Education or Agriculture at MSU-Northern.
