The Prep Sports Report wants to continue covering our local prep athletes when they graduate. We want to cover them after also.
To nominate an individual for a highlight of Where Are They Now? Please email kdemasi@prepsportareport.com with a name, former high school, graduation class, sport, school, all relevant contact information, and a short summary of the athlete's recent accomplishments at the next level. Here are two examples.
Jackson Finley, Richmond Hill High School Class of 2020, baseball, Georgia Tech
This week, Finley was outstanding at the plate. He hit.412 with four home runs and two doubles. He drove in 12 runs with a 1.235 slugging percentage and 
a.474 on-base percentage. This helped Jackson be named the Diamond National Player of the Week by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, which is baseball.com
Finley was chosen to start as the pitcher on Sunday, and he did so by throwing five innings, giving up two runs on eight hits, not walking a hitter, and striking out four.
Finley has done a significant job at the plate this season, batting .322 in 41 games. He has 49 hits, 15 doubles, and 17 home runs, the most on the Yellow Jackets team, and in the top 20 of NCAA D1 baseball players. This also gives him 57 RBI on the season, which is in the top 25 NCAA D1 baseball players.
The Richmond Hill native is third in RBI, fourth in home runs, fifth in slugging percentage (.757), sixth in total bases (115), and eighth in doubles in the Atlantic Coast Conference, according to a Georgia Tech athletic website.
Alex Brown, South Effingham High School Class of 2022, softball, University of North Carolina
Alex Brown has hit safely in 17 straight games for the Tar Heels. The second-year shortstop has 63 hits, fourth in the ACC, and a batting average of.406, 
seventh in the ACC.
Brown has been the leadoff hitter for North Carolina almost the whole season. Alex leads the team with a .406 average and has 63 hits in 53 games, three doubles, one triple, four home runs, and 20 runs batted in. Her last home run was an inside the park on April 23, 20233, versus North Carolina State. It was the Tar Heels' first inside the park since 2010.
