The high school season is quickly approaching here in North Carolina, and we are looking at an array of topics before the season starts. Looking at the Class of 2025, there are plenty of seniors who are looking to make a final statement for their school. Here, we take a look at a few seniors that we expect to have big years and should garner the interest of many, as they look to lead the charge.
2025 Timothy Brower (Eastern Randolph)
Brower is a name that should gain more traction based on what we have seen this summer and what we expect from this upcoming senior season. He has been putting up some impressive numbers over the years, averaging 15.4ppg as a sophomore and 20.7ppg as a junior last year. This summer, we had a chance to watch him with Eastern Randolph and Rising Pros, as he continued to showcase a dynamic ability to be a scoring force. He is a playmaking guard with good length and athleticism, has the ability to create his own shot well off the bounce, and impacts the game in a variety of other ways.
2025 Issac Byers Jr (Ashbrook)
Byers is coming off a strong season in which he led the way at Ashbrook, finishing his junior season averaging 20.1ppg, 5.7rpg, 4.2apg, and 3.3spg. And he showed that again this summer on several occasions, whether it was during the Team Camp or with Team Loaded 704. Byers has a tremendous ability to fill it up, being strong at the point of attack, getting downhill and using his bounce to his advantage, embracing contact and finishing, and finding ways to get to the line. Ashbrook will need him once again to step up and we believe he will be going out with a strong senior season.
2025 Landon Vaughan (Bandys)
Vaughan has opened up eyes with his play over the last year, but it isn’t like he hasn’t been producing before then. As a junior, he had a breakout season in which he was a dominant figure down in the paint, averaging 19.2ppg and 9.1rpg and we don’t believe those numbers will dip below that. He has clearly established himself as one of the to-go guys for that program. With his game developing nicely and understanding more of his impact, expect Vaughan to have another excellent season in helping lead his team.
2025 Justice Mitchell (Clayton)
Talk about a player bringing production, as Mitchell has been off the charts the last year or so with what he has been able to provide and show with his game. It is why schools are coming his way and sending offers, and he hopes nothing more to go out with a bang this senior season. Mitchell is a 6’6 prospect who can operate from a variety of levels and just knows how to impact the game in an array of ways. Scoring inside, knocking down shots, attacking the glass, playing hard and with a motor; Mitchell offers all of that and with a junior season in which he averaged nearly 20ppg and 10rpg, he could be in for another tremendous season.
