2026 Q Williams – Forsyth Country Day
An electric small guard who runs the show and creates for others. Q made key reads, especially at the end of the game, helping his team secure the win over Davidson Day. His in-between game and ability to hit tough outside shots over defenders stand out. Plays with strong leadership, high IQ, and under control—ideal qualities for a lead guard.
2026 Cam Newman – Gaston Christian
Cam set the tone with energy and strong on-ball defense against Trinity Christian. He’s great at slipping into tight spaces with the ball and shows a strong float game. His smooth outside shot and transition reads impressed, and he’s a willing pass-first guard who can defend the full length of the floor.
2026 Aidan Rousseau – Cary Academy
Aidan has expanded his game and looked more confident on the perimeter. His ability to create and make plays off the bounce, alongside improved perimeter shooting and post moves, stood out. Played with great patience in the post and finished well around traffic. His intensity on the glass and rim protection was impressive against Greenfield.
2026 Kobe Edwards – Greenfield
Kobe was one of the fastest with the ball in transition. He got teammates open looks and helped move the ball well in the open floor. His on-ball defense, using his wingspan to block or alter shots, was a highlight. Kobe posted up smaller guards, attacked gaps to the basket, and kept his team engaged with his vocal leadership throughout the game.
2026 Ayden Johnson – Caldwell Academy
Ayden played with intensity on both ends of the floor, looking for others but knowing when to create his own shot. An excellent athlete who flies around the court, Ayden finished above the rim and around traffic. He made crucial winning plays, whether scoring or getting his team extra possessions, and showed impressive quickness and handle.
2027 Geren Holmes – The Burlington School
Geren Holmes shines with his versatility and athleticism for TBS. A strong presence on both ends, he excels in transition and half-court play, showing off his shotmaking skills and defensive prowess. Expect big things this season.
