Trey Green

A lot has been said about
Mikey Williams
MikeyWilliams6'3" | CGLake Norman Christian | 2023StateNC at Lake Norman Christian but his backcourt mate,
Trey Green
TreyGreen5'10" | PGLake Norman Christian | 2023State#139NationNC, is just as lethal. Green and Williams are emerging as a top backcourt so far in the state after knocking off The Burlington School, 91-79, this past weekend. While Williams made a statement with 40 points on 13-of-20 shooting, so did Green with 25 points, including six 3-pointers. It helps Williams is ranked No. 1 in the class of 2023 and Green is No. 11 but one is certainly making their case that they may not be ranked high enough.
The duo overcame 23 points from
Jamarii Thomas

He posted 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists in a 72-65 victory over Rabun Gap and a top 2022 prospect in Nate Brafford this past weekend. Brafford finished with 29 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and three steals. Cash showed off his ability to do multiple things with his size and strength at 6-foot-5 as the Knights are off to a 2-0 start to the season. College coaches would be wise to track him now.
