The Adidas Circuit held their circuit finale at the facility last July during live period.
PrepHoopsNC analyst Justin Byerly took in the action yesterday at The Upward Stars Center.
Really liked 2019 Shaman Alston of Nations Ford HS. Shot it well all day, has a strong build and good size at combo guard.
2018 guard Vincent Cole is a silky smooth scoring guard. Has a great stroke & looks effortless when he is on the floor. Will be the glue for York Prep this season along with BJ Mack and Deuce Dean.
2018 Diamante Brown of AC Flora (SC) is one of the most athletic players around. Jumps out of the gym and attacks off the dribble. He does a good job of getting into the paint and scoring.
2019 Malcolm Wilson of Ridge View HS showed why he has ACC/SEC offers. Long & has good timing. Changes offensive shot selection and has a soft touch around rim.
Tre Jackson was impressive today, he shot it well all day with a pure stroke. Knows how to score the basketball.
2020 PF Davidson Day has a good one in Christopher Huntley. Good size, shot and knocked down mid-range shots consistently all day.
Malcolm Kennedy. a senior PG at York Comprehensive HS is skilled. Really good at getting by defenders and can get into the paint. He is a sturdy 2018 lead guard.
Sam Norton of Heritage (SC) gets after it. A little Deacon Heath to his game. Skilled, good shooter, wants to win.
2018 forward Milos Stajcic of Freedom Christian is an available stretch four. Can step out and knock down shots. Wide shoulders and has a little sauce to his game.
