Asheville Christian Academy:
DeAnte Green DeAnte Green 6'10" | PF Asheville Christian | 2022 State #68 Nation NC (Florida State) headlines a squad that shouldn’t be short on depth with Chris Harris, Dante Oliver Dante Oliver 6'3" | CG Asheville Christian Academy | 2023 State NC , Casian Richard Casian Richard 5'10" | PG East Forsyth | 2023 State NC , James Wilkins III James Wilkins III 6'1" | PG Asheville School | 2022 State NC and Dyllan Barnwell Dyllan Barnwell 6'9" | PF Asheville Christian Academy | 2023 State NC in the rotation. They’re a well-coached group that plays team-ball on both ends of the floor to get things done.
Concord Academy:
Logan Threatt Logan Threatt 6'3" | PG Carmel Christian | 2022 State NC leads the way with a group of 2023s in tow in Langston Boyd Langston Boyd 6'4" | SF Mallard Creek | 2024 State NC , Isaiah Tate Isaiah Tate 6'0" | PG Concord Academy | 2023 State NC , Noah van Bibber and Sergej Cvetkovic Sergej Cvetkovic 6'7" | SF Concord Academy | 2023 State NC . After going 21-8 in 2020-21, they’ll look to win a lot more games with more talent in the rotation to work with. Threat will have plenty to work with in the backcourt with Boyd’s ability to attack the rim and van Bibber’s light’s out shooting ability.
GRACE Christian School (Raleigh):
Gary Williams II Gary Williams II 6'5" | SG GRACE Christian | 2022 State NC should be the offensive leader with his ability to attack the rim and shoot the 3-ball. Steven McLeod Steven McLeod 6'2" | CG GRACE Christian | 2024 State NC , KJ Keatts KJ Keatts 5'11" | PG Grace Christian | 2022 State NC , Yashiya Crespin Yashiya Crespin 6'6" | SF GRACE Christian | 2022 State NC and Cooper Land Cooper Land 6'11" | C GRACE Christian | 2022 State NC are also key returners for a well-coached group. Davis Lyons, Julien King Julien King 6'3" | CG GRACE Christian | 2023 State NC , Omar Banks Jr Omar Banks Jr 6'3" | CG GRACE Christian | 2023 NC , Quasim Oden Quasim Oden 6'1" | PG GRACE Christian | 2024 State NC and Myles Pettis Myles Pettis 5'10" | CG GRACE Christian | 2023 State NC are key newcomers that should make an impact right away.
Forsyth Country Day School:
This squad should turn some heads in 2021-22 with Iverson King Iverson King 6'6" | CG Forsyth Country Day | 2024 State NC , Sterling Charles Jr Sterling Charles Jr 6'2" | CG Forsyth Country Day | 2022 State NC , Draven Pilson Draven Pilson 6'7" | SF Forsyth Country Day | 2024 State NC and Enzo Geremski Enzo Geremski 6'5" | SF Forsyth Country Day | 2023 State NC as a few early names to know with this squad. They’ve built some chemistry together over the past few months which should carry over into the high school season.
High Point Christian Academy:
Ethan Smith, Thomas McIntosh Thomas McIntosh 6'7" | PF High Point Christian | 2022 State NC and Landon Kai Johnson Landon Kai Johnson 6'8" | PF Forsyth Country Day | 2024 NC will be quite the sizeable names to deal with for this squad. Darius Kane Darius Kane 6'2" | CG High Point Christian | 2023 State NC is a new addition in the backcourt to keep an eye on with this group with his length, athleticism and shooting ability.
Southlake Christian Academy:
7-footer Micah Handlogten Micah Handlogten 7'1" | C Southlake Christian | 2022 State NC (Marshall) leads the way at the anchor position on a young squad that should also feature 2024 Maddox Watson Maddox Watson 6'4" | SF Southlake Christian | 2024 State NC . Larson Gazzaway is a new face in the 2023 class that should turn heads with his ability to score on all three levels.
