He was automatic from midrange and inside the paint, using his strength and size which led to a championship win and being named Tourney MVP.
Wayne Prep Sophomore Guard Amari Latham Amari Latham 6'5" | PF Goldsboro | 2024 State NC : The leading scorer on his team throughout the season did not disappoint in the championship game, dropping a team high of twenty-seven points.

Wayne Christian Senior Guard Jayquan Curry Jayquan Curry 5'10" | PG Wayne Christian | 2022 State NC : His scoring ability is nothing new, and we saw flashes of that throughout the matchup. Knocking down some shots from outside, finishing over and around bigs, plus converting some tough buckets. He’s strong, quick, athletic and was the player that his team looked to whenever they needed someone to make a play.
Parrot Academy Senior Guard Tomir Moore Tomir Moore 5'10" | PG Kinston | 2023 State NC : Although he suffered an injury in their final game of the tournament, his play in the prior rounds should not be overlooked. In the first two rounds of the event he averaged over twenty-five points per game, getting where he wanted on the court by using his speed to blow to by opponents on a regular basis.
Rosewood HS Senior Guard Otis Coley Otis Coley 6'0" | CG Rosewood | 2022 State NC : The primary ball handler, floor general and even leading scorer for his team, his team depends on him to play major minutes for the squad to be competitive. He has solid height for a PG at about 6 foot, a quick first step and was a huge part of breaking down the different defensive pressure they faced.
