Southview Unsigned Senior Forward Jarod Brown Jarod Brown 6'4" | SF South View | 2022 State NC : One of the top shot blockers, as well as one of the top rebounders in the area. He plays with a high motor and is a player that you don’t have to run anything for. He gets his offense off of offensive rebounds and does all the small things that get overlooked, at this point in the season he’s averaging close to a double/double.
Southview Unsigned Senior Guard Cedavion Wimbley Cedavion Wimbley 6'0" | CG South View | 2022 NC : Plays the game with a high amount of passion and makes his impact with his scoring. He leads the team in scoring at close to fifteen points per game but is also one of the leaders in steals per game in the county.
Fayetteville Christian Sophomore Guard Elijah Arzuaga: In his first season with the Warriors, he has stepped in and led the way, scoring the ball at a high level on a nightly basis. Although his team has struggled, he has been one of the bright spots for the squad this year, averaging over fourteen points per game.
Fayetteville Christian Junior Forward Joseph Amador: We have seen flashes of what he can potentially be over the last year and the upside that he has to be a solid player is clear. Standing at 6’6 with a raw skillset, his next step will be to continue to add to his upper body strength and offensive skillset to fully round out his game.
Game #2 11AM: Grays Creek vs Berean Baptist Academy
Grays Creek Sophomore Wing Ari Fulton Ari Fulton 6'7" | SF Westover | 2024 State NC : A division one level prospect, Fulton has the size and athleticism that catches your attention almost immediately. Averaging seventeen points and nine rebounds per game, he understands how to use his slashing ability and athleticism to make a high impact on games.
Unsigned Senior Guard Xzavier Thaggard Xzavier Thaggard 6'3" | SF Grays Creek | 2022 State NC : He’s hit the ground running since he moved back in town and joined the team in December. The strong veteran guard is averaging nineteen points per contest and gives the Bears not only senior leadership but another legit college prospect that can absolutely fill it up scoring wise.
BBA Sophomore Guard Kenny Vera: Saw some minutes on varsity as an eighth grader and it seems that the early experience has paid off. He looks comfortable playing on the varsity level this year and is averaging twenty points per contest.
BBA Senior Guard Brian Thompson: Returning to BBA as one of the few experienced upperclassmen on his squad, Thompson impacts games in various ways. Scoring, defending and facilitating are all things you will see from him on a nightly basis.
BBA Senior Forward John Butler: Although he only stands at about 6’2-6’3, he plays bigger than his height and battles inside with opposing bigs. He has a nice midrange game, makes plays above the rim on both ends of the court and plays the game with a high motor.
BBA Sophomore Guard Chase Evans: Another young player that is looking to play his way into becoming a legit prospect, he is off to a nice start this season averaging just under fifteen points per game. When he’s locked in on both ends of the floor and playing with intensity, he’s a player that can be productive for his squad.
