Spots are filling up fast for the WisHoops.net/Basketball Yearbook PrepShowcase to be held on Sept. 13 at the Just a Game Fieldhouse in theWisconsin Dells. In it's fourth year the showcase is open to highschool varsity basketball players.



"First and foremost, this is always a great day of basketball," saidWSN founder Nicholas Kartos. "We kind of break the mold of traditionalshowcases in that instead of trying to make promises about this collegeor that college we simply run a super organized event with greatcoaches and great talent." Kartos continued, "We also work very hard tohelp provide exposure to many of these great student-athletes throughall of our media outlets and with our media partners."



Kettle Moraine head coach Brad Bestor and Reedsburg head coach BrianBestor will once again run the basketball portion of the event forWisHoops.net. The sharp-shooting brothers were both high schoolstandouts at Fond du Lac and went on to play basketball at the division1 level. Brad Bestor echoed some of Kartos' sediments, "We like to keepthings high energy and positive. In a way this event is like anorganized open gym with the best players in the state and we're here tomake sure everyone is getting the most out of the experience."



The girls portion of the event is headlined by Wisconsin Badger commitTaylor Wurtz from Ripon, UWGB commit Sarah Eichler and Liberty commit LaKendra Washington from TheHope School.
