The Prep Blog
The preps blog is designed to fill in the gaps of our high school sports coverage, providing insight into some of the stories and projects we are pursuing, and to serve as a forum to talk about some of the significant high school sports stories happening in our community.

Abdul Gaddy and Josh Smith have been selected to play in the 2008 Boost Mobile Elite 24 basketball event. The games featuring two dozen of the country's top high school players will be held Aug. 22 at Rucker Park in New York City.

Bellarmine Prep's Gaddy, one of the nation's top-rated point guards, and Kentwood's Smith, a highly-recruited center in the class of 2010, will be joined by Garfield's Tony Wroten, who some consider to be the nation's best player in the 2010 class.
