About Scott »

Scott was born and raised in Chicago's south suburbs, where he learned to love the Chicago Bulls and speaking in the third person. He spent his formative years watching Michael and Scottie win championship after championship after championship. Later Scott would learn that championships are actually somewhat rare, a fact that made it that much more special when he watched his beloved White Sox win the 2005 World Series. Scott's other passions include Kentucky basketball (for reasons long since forgotten) and mixed martial arts.

Scott currently spends his nights covering the world of of Chicagoland prep sports for a medium (50,000 circ.) daily newspaper.

Thanks for the thoughts on my Hokie basketball preview. It's been a while since I wrote a hoops piece so your notes were a big help.
