Player Notes:
Northern Guilford:
2028 Aiden Crews was huge for Northern Guilford throughout the night, as he finished with 23 points and was hitting some big shots from behind the arc all throughout the night. Crews did a great job in moving without the ball, finding the open spots on the court, and showing that he can be a big threat from behind the arc with multiple threes or getting fouled.
2026 Will Thomas was another guard who grabbed my attention with his play. For much of the game, he was able to get inside the defense and make them pay with his mid-range game, knocking down shots with confidence over defenders. 2026 Caleb Baptist was another guard who played really well, especially in the second half. He displayed speed and playmaking ability, as well as knocking down open shots for his team.
Northwest Guilford
2028 Roman Solheim could be the next player from the Greensboro area to really watch out for. The 6’7 sophomore brings tremendous activity and potential to the court, especially when he is operating around the basket. Offensively, he is at his best around the basket, scoring over defenders, displaying athleticism and touch, and good overall feel in creating in the paint. He does a great job in reading and finding his teammates, making strong passes out of the post, and he shows comfort along the perimeter, though there are still areas of improvement in that area. Defensively, he can be a relentless presence on the glass as well as a rim protector for the Vikings.
2027 Ryan Stafford was another player that grabbed my attention, as he hit timely shots throughout the game. Moved without the ball, got to his spots, and was able to knock down big shots with range and also find ways to score in other ways. Quick release, as he had a big game for Northwest.
