Games Of This Week To Watch
Fayetteville Academy vs Freedom Christian
These two teams met up this season already with Fayetteville Academy taking the win even though Freedom Christian would make a comeback toward the end of the game. FA 2019 Big man Emmanuel Izunabor put together a triple double along with 21 points from 2019 Forward William Oyenodi. Freedom will look for revenge and will need its usual production from Guards Jamahri Harvey & Brandon Murray as well as a better showing from big man Milos Stajcic. The X factor will be what the FA Eagles get from Guard EJ Bethea, he came up big for the squad in their first matchup with multiple treys.
Cape Fear HS vs Terry Sanford HS
This matchup has a chance to be a very good one, taking a look at both squads they each have players at the Forward position that are competing for scholarships and are hungry to prove their ability. Cape Fear HS features Forward Myron Williams and Guard Shaq Angel who both have D2 and Low Major interest. While Terry Sanford features sharpshooting Wing Holt Walker and defensive specialist Forward Gabe Harbison, both who have started out the season putting up solid numbers.
Northside (Jax) vs New Hanover HS
This game is one that you definitely have to stop in to see if you’re in the area, these two programs have enjoyed quite a bit of success over the years with each squad winning at least one state chip. Northside brings back Seniors Gabe Kirkendoll and Guard Kenny Dye to go along with Forward Jason Mixon, they also feature Forward Demetrius Jones who is nursing an injury at the moment. While New Hanover has a nice group of talent with: Romello Williams, Josh Aldrich, Freddie Taylor and Hayden Egar. We got the chance to see both of these teams play during ECI Team in Jacksonville and both showed that they have a chance to be as good as the want to be.
