Wayne Country Day (Goldsboro)-Head Coach David Flowers had this to say about the upcoming season, “Our team isnt very deep this year but we are talented. Great group of guys that work extremely hard so looking forward to a good year. We have a tough schedule this year which will help prepare us for a late season run. Our main players are Sophomore Jamal King, Juniors Jimmie Sanders and Cole Atwood. Other key players are Senior PJ Hill and Sophomore Marcus Metcalf. Jamal King had an outstanding summer and has really developed into a high level player. Jimmie Sanders is a huge transfer from Neuse Charter. His speed and ability to score is going to be a huge factor for us.Cole Atwood can flat out score. I would put him up against anyone in the state in a 3 point contest. As you can see we are very young but that just means the future is bright.”
