  I am the lead scout for Prep Girls Hoops Kansas. In support of Prep Girls Hoops' mission to provide broad coverage and exposure to high school girls basketball players I write articles for the site and use social media to market the content. While I attend games throughout the year in person or via streaming options, information about players is garnered from high school, college, and club coaches; articles in other news sources; communication with other writers and PGH contributors; parents, players, and more. Information gathered informs the ranking of players by class on an approximate quarterly basis. Show less
