Kansas City press has really good high school coverage - despite having to cover a tremendously larger area than Peoria does..

but they are sometimes a day behind getting the story...
Here's the coverage of Lee's Summit's win Wednesday night

Ryan S. and Elijha Childs Tracker

These two recruits are starting to look much better! They are scoring very well also with rebounding, blocks, etc. also looking very good. Lets hope they can be great additions to our program and can provide immediate help next year. Now, lets go after a couple of strong JC players to seed into our roster.

as I noted in another thread - I am not sure anyone we've "missed on" the last two cycles (2016 & 2017) are any more likely to help us...and, as it turns out, the only possibilities are kids (like McSwain, Bigby-Williams, etc... ) who we tried as hard as we could and those chose elsewhere..

So I trust Coach Wardle - Child & Stipanovich give us a couple really great options at the 2, 3 & 4-spot in the future - and hopefully we're already pretty well set at the PG spot, so all we need is to build depth in the paint..



BTW - one other thing that I linked to above ...
St. Louis Post Dispatch has an online high school score and stat tracker site..
It is really incredible and accurate.... and contains extensive stats on all their hundreds of area teams and players.
You can also sort and select by team, by conference, by individual - whatever...

BUT note that in the entire St. Louis area, Ryan is among the leaders in scoring, shooting, rebounding, and assists
and in his conference, he ranks among the top 3 or 4 in almost all the stat categories - and by far the top rebounder in his entire conference.
