Happy Thanksgiving
I would like to wish a very special Happy Thanksgiving to all of the followers of Prep Hoops Missouri. With that being said, there are many things to be thankful for in basketball land. Here are a few of those things.
*Very thankful to the Prep Hoops Network for providing a tremendous service to the basketball community nationwide with the commitment to provide recognition to players of all levels of ability.
*Very thankful to my friend Scott Burgess of Prep Hoops Illinois for giving the owners of Prep Hoops my name when it was time to start a Prep Hoops Missouri site three years ago. I’m very thankful of this opportunity to travel around the Show-Me State and see all of the kids.
*Very thankful to Nick Carroll of Prep Hoops Missouri for giving me the opportunity to cover basketball for the Prep Hoops Network. It has been wonderful.
*Very thankful to have a very supportive and understanding wife, Judy Austin, who has been with me throughout this journey.
