Over the past month, the Arizona Preps' staff has grown a great deal as the group has added some serious talent to an already very talented staff of writers, scouts and interns. As part of the group's development and new focus on covering the state's best girl's basketball talent, we are proud to announce the addition of Travis Armstrong to our staff. A former high school Head Coach for girl's basketball at Florence High School, Travis Armstrong will join the Arizona Preps' staff as the organization's lead girl's basketball scout - covering girls basketball in the state, high school and junior college.
Armstrong will join Only Cathemer (Arizona Preps' girl's scout) and partner together, with the help of the Arizona Preps' marketing team, Mason Maynard (Marketing Director) and interns Kendrick Nickels, Scotty Shaver and Addissen Stinnett (Reporter) to help improve girl's high school and junior college basketball coverage and exposure in the state.
