Chandler Prater started collecting college basketball scholarship offers before she even arrived at North Kansas City High School, and it wasn’t long before she started turning heads there, too.
“A guy I knew, he literally thought she was a college player returning to visit us, and I was like, ‘No, that’s our freshman,’” Hornets coach Jeff Lacy said with a laugh. “She’s been off the charts athletically all four years.”
Indeed, Prater has exceeded the promise she showed as a freshman. Northtown recently claimed its fourth straight conference title. Prater won the 2018 DiRenna Award last April as the top girls basketball player in the Kansas City area.
