IT’S SPRING, 2019, AND Kennedy Chandler is strategizing on how to make his big splash on the national stage once and for all. He’s wrapping up his sophomore year at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, TN, and the AAU season is on the horizon. Two years into his high school career, he’s developed a name locally within Grind City, but for whatever reason, he just can’t seem to get the same kind of love outside of the Tennessee borders. He’s been putting in the work. He’s been outplaying his opponents. He knows it. But it just hasn’t translated into getting his fair share of recognition on a country-wide scale.
He knows he has to take it to another level this spring and summer in order to avoid falling through the cracks. Even if that means thinking outside the box and making drastic changes and bold sacrifices.
