I will be in attendance on April 26, and plan to scout four morning games on Court 5. Those four games feature two 16U and two 15U teams consisting primarily of Kansas athletes from Southeast Kansas and the Wichita Area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Many of these athletes also play football, so as a Senior Scout for Prep Redzone Kansas, it will be interesting to check out multiple-sport athletes competing in a different sport.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a preview of the event and six players from 15U Division teams I look forward to seeing play in person. Stay tuned to Prep Hoops Kansas on April 26 and 27 to read reports from those four contests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2205706' first='Avant' last='Riley'], </strong>5'9”<strong>, </strong>CG, Derby, (Kansas Players 2027)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riley is a quick guard who spent most of his time on the junior varsity squad last season, but also saw time in three varsity games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2393670' first='Oliver' last='Selmon']</strong>, 6'3”, F, The Independent School (Kansas Players 2027)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who wouldn't want to watch a 6-foot-3 freshman play?
