The stars were out once again Tuesday night at the 30th annual Canfiled Development King of the Bluegrass. Several players had outstanding games, including Eastern's Remy Abell.
Eastern's Lyonell Gaines is one of the top prospects in Region Seven. Now the 6-foot-4 forward is looking for a place to play in college. I caught up with Gaines and spoke with him about his recruitment.
Gaines averaged nearly 14 points per game this past season, as he helped lead the Eagles to a 21-9 record.
"The summer ids going pretty good," Gaines said. "I'm just trying to get better. I'm struggling with my shot right now, so I'm working on that."
