Director and founder of the Michigan Girls Basketball Report. Rainsberger oversees all components of MGBR while focusing on all college exposure events and the MGBR scouting service for colleges around the country.
"I felt there was a need for a service, such as MGBR, in the state of Michigan for girls basketball because so many players were looking to play in the college ranks, yet not all players were getting the recognition they needed to continue on to the college level in the state of Michigan. By creating a platform for basketball players to compete in front of college coaches while offering a scouting service for players to garner regional and national recognition...girls basketball players in Michigan now have more opportunities and college choices as a result of their own hard work, exposure events and the implementation of a scouting service."
