Superstar Spotlight: Keeley Parks breaks Norman girls basketball all-time scoring record
In January, Keeley Parks became Norman High School's (Oklahoma) all-time leading scorer, surpassing 1,455 points. And she did it in style, averaging more than 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 steals as a senior. Parks is committed to Kansas for good reason. She currently profiles as a combo guard who can shoot but can also handle the ball when needed. In college, her rebounding prowess could allow her to develop into more of a small forward on the wing. In short, depending on what the Jayhawks need she should be able to help anywhere in the backcourt.
