Ambassador Christian Guards Playing Well
We got our first viewing of the strong duo of 2025 JD Bowden and 2026 Logan Johnson last week for Ambassador Christian, and they are back again this week to lead the charge. Both have proven they are D1 prospects to look out for more and are playing at a high level. Bowden can be electric with his ability to create and run the offense, while Johnson has clearly elevated his game to another level. It is easy to see that these two have put in the work and are ready to make a statement, as they look to do so again on the big stage.
Guard Play vs. Guard Play: Combine vs. TBS
If you like guard play and pushing the pace, this may be the game to look out for. 2027 King Gibson was off the charts last week with his play, making a statement in why he is one of the top prospects in the nation. But TBS also offers strong guard play from 2026 Drew Johnson, 2025 Cam Flippen, and several others as they hope to secure a big win. But Combine Academy was flying high last weekend, as 2025 Kaden Magwood (fresh off his commitment to Auburn), 2026 Yohance Connor, 2025 Caleb Thomas, and others all look to get out and will be flying high in this game. And watch out again for 2025 Josiah Parker, a rising new name here in NC.
2025 Isaiah Denis vs. 2025 Michael Phillips
Two of the fastest-rising prospects in the state of North Carolina will go at it on Day 1. Both of these prospects had a huge summer in becoming national names. Now, they will look to lead their teams in a big way; Denis comes in with size, length, and ability to get downhill, scoring in a variety of ways and being one of the clear leaders for this team. He excels off the bounce but also can knock down shots from outside. Phillips is a 6’7 prospect that has a ton of potential and is looking to put it all together. But he shows the ability to knock down shots over defenders, has big-time athleticism in his game on both ends, and scores well off the bounce as well as creating tough shots.
