Westover HS Junior Guard Darius Jewell: Westover couldn’t seem to get any offense going in the first quarter but that all changed when Darius Jewell began to catch fire. He knocked down treys, blew by defenders and even pulled down some much needed rebounds to help his squad. His height is something that will cause people to overlook him but at the end of the day he’s constantly showing how much heart he has and this game was a perfect example.
Lumberton HS Senior Guard Jordan McNeill Jordan McNeill 6'1" | CG Lumberton | 2020 State NC : He put together the best overall performance of the day with a game high of 27 Points and 9 Rebounds. He’s one of the more physical Guards in the area and showed that he doesn’t mind mixing it up inside the paint. He currently hold a JC offer as well as a D2 offer.
Northwood HS Senior Guard Dedric Ross: He would start the game off on fire, and was one of the reason that Northwood was able to get out to a big early lead, as he knocked down jumpshot after jumpshot in the first half. The 2nd half would not be as kind to him scoring wise but he stayed active and engaged in the game, working on the boards to help his team.
Northwood HS Senior Guard Aaron Ross: The floor general for this team, he constantly attacked the defense and helped to get the momentum on his teams side. It doesn’t take long to see that he is a legit dual sport athlete as he has the physique of a football player which allows him to play through all types of physical contact.
Westover HS Junior Guard D’Marco Dunn D’Marco Dunn 6'4" | CG Westover | 2021 State #75 Nation NC : Foul trouble kept him off the floor for a pretty large amount of time but he still managed to make plays when he was on the court. He would finish with 11 points on 3 of 4 FGA, which would help his squad while they were making their run.
