Arizona junior college basketball is now on the rise in the state of Arizona, and looking to get back to the level it once was. Through more promotion of top-rated juco prospects in the conference, the schools in the conference are looking to build stronger teams annually to compete nationally, and to help promote the prospects on each of the programs.
Our Arizona Preps' staff is definitely looking forward to this year's event, as Arizona junior college basketball looks to go to another level with events like this. Stay tuned.
