Prep Hoops Queen City Clash – Six Teams to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Circuit is quickly rolling right along and we are into our third week of action. Our games at the Queen City Clash will only take place on Friday and Saturday in order to give families Easter Sunday to themselves. However, that just means the content will be crammed into a tighter window. Ohio lead scout Mike Roth and myself will have boots on the ground throughout the weekend providing wall to wall coverage as only Prep Hoops does. Here are six of the top teams that you'll want to follow this weekend at the Queen City Clash.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[program_tooltip
