This is the first edition of a new PGH Kansas series “Raining Treys.” The series will feature athletes who are posting big numbers from 3-point range.   The 3-point shot revolutionized basketball and solid scoring from deep will only become more important now that KSHSAA has approved Kansas High Schools introducing the shot clock next season.   Members of the senior class of 2024 are featured in this scouting report. Fifteen converted 3-point field goals were my cut-off to be included in this particular group.   The seven 3-point shooters whose stats and height are shared on Max Preps were included in this report.
