On the recruiting trail

It appears Arkansas Baptist could be getting a bargain this recruiting season. El Dorado coach Stephen Harshaw said senior point guard Gabbi Jackson is leaning toward signing with the junior college.
It was surprising news to me as I've felt Jackson would have several choices after guiding the Lady Wildcats to the state semifinals. But, her desire to stay close to home narrowed her search tremendously, making Little Rock-based Arkansas Baptist an attractive option.
Nothing's signed yet, but Harshaw feels that's where she will end up.
In other recruiting news, Parkers Chapel coach Mark Young told me via text message that junior center Savanna Langston has scholarship offers on the table from Arkansas State and South Alabama.
I hope she has a large table because those will be the first of a whole bunch of offers to come her way in the coming months.

I enjoyed Channel 7's piece on Cutter Morning Star guard Emilee Scroggins, who is a finalist for one of the station's awards. Emilee, daughter of Lee and Lora Scroggins, overcame a serious illness to make her way back to the court.
Channel 7 told her story, interviewing the Scroggins family and the Cutter Morning Star coach. Emilee talked about how her faith was the biggest factor in her recovery.
It was a great story about an outstanding young lady.
