2027 Caleb Nixon (Kings Mountain)
Nixon is another player that many will have their eyes on, as the 6’5 prospect has been the leading scorer throughout the season. He looks like he has done all season long, showcasing his ability to be a shot-maker, creator, and playmaker for this team. When Nixon gets things going, this team has proven to be a difficult team to slow down, and he looks to have his biggest game on the biggest stage.
2026 Will Seward (Hoggard)
Seward is a highly skilled forward/post prospect who showcases impressive touch, polished footwork, and natural scoring instincts. He consistently plays with a strong motor, using his length and physical tools to make an impact on the glass while also providing a steady defensive presence in the paint. Seward moves well for his size as a fluid athlete and shows the ability to absorb and play through contact on both ends of the floor, allowing him to remain effective as both a scorer and interior defender.
2026 Braylon Taylor (Salisbury)
Taylor is a dynamic playmaking guard who thrives when the ball is in his hands. With his quickness and aggressive mindset, he does an excellent job of putting pressure on the defense by consistently attacking the paint and creating opportunities off the bounce. Taylor shows the ability to finish through contact in multiple ways around the basket, while his downhill approach keeps defenders on their heels throughout the game. Taylor has been a consistent leader for this team as a senior, and they will need him to step up.
2026 Jon Ross (Salisbury)
Ross is another player who, as a senior, will be looking to leave it all out on the court for his team. Ross is an intriguing prospect with his ability to be a strong scoring factor, hunting for his shot, being able to be a versatile piece on the court, score well from the outside, but also attack off the bounce. He is an X-factor that I will have my eyes on in the championship game. If he can get things going, this team brings a very balanced attack to the court.
