2026 Cameron Thompson (Chambers)
Thompson really opened more eyes with his impact and play this weekend. At 6’4, Thompson brings such tremendous value to the court for his team, knowing how to make his game felt in a variety of ways. He can be an effective scorer inside and out, along with tremendous athleticism that allows him to make plays on both sides of the ball. But overall, it is his energy and understanding of how to produce and do the little things for his team that will help this team in a big way this upcoming season.
2025 Grant Burns (Reynolds)
Burns certainly opened more eyes with his play for District 12. He has excelled and showed more of his overall game, as he put on some impressive showings all throughout the weekend. Burns was a strong scoring force, being able to touch the paint and finish, make plays for others, and also show he can knock down shots from the perimeter. Overall, Burns had an eye-opening weekend at the Championship.
2026 Owen Calvert (Calvery Day)
What a weekend it was for Calvert, as the 6’1 guard put on a tremendous show throughout. Calvert had a really good showing in one game, scoring 38 points and putting on an offensive clinic, displaying craftiness, confidence, creativeness with the ball in his hands, and shot-making ability. He is a polished scorer and a tough overall guard, as he had a big weekend in helping lead his team.
2026 Jack Siegel (Charlotte Catholic)
Siegel is a very intriguing prospect and he has been starting off the season strong with Charlotte Catholic. Siegel has the size that grabs your attention, but he also is a high IQ and skilled prospect who has a strong blend of vision, scoring output, and playmaking ability. He takes what is given and mixes it up well offensively, showing to be a tough matchup on the court but also makes quality decisions on the court as well for his team.
2026 Darius Whitner (Garner)
Whitner has shown time after time that he deserves to be on radars and he continued to prove that this weekend at the championships of the Hoop State Fall League. Whitner is a strong lead guard that leads but example. He plays with a toughness and grit that college coaches would love to have, and knows how to make his impact felt in a variety of ways as a guard. He creates well and embraces contact, can pull up and knock down shots, and is a competitor on the defensive end.
2027 Travien Williams (Hickory Ridge)
Talking about a player who really stepped up and has been showing more of his game, Williams for Hickory Ridge would be a player who has done just that. He has been incredibly stong as a scoring option, creating and weaving through the defense, attacking opponents and getting to the basket, and just having a knack for finding ways to make plays and create for himself. The young guard had a very good overall weekend.
