Harcum is the type of player that can fill it up on a nightly basis but Riverside is a team that locks in defensively and is more than capable of slowing down the scoring machine sophomore.
Northwest Halifax vs Rocky Mount Prep: This matchup is interesting due to the fact that Northwest Halifax Senior Forward Toyaz Solomon will be matched up with his former school, which always makes things interesting. Solomon has a nice game and plenty of upside, at 6’7 with a long wingspan, he has the ability to play multiple positions on the court, so far this year he is averaging 12 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks per game.
Louisburg vs Henderson Collegiate: Henderson Collegiate has been rolling all season and they took that momentum right into the playoffs with a big win in the first round. Junior Kalib Matthews went for 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assist in their game vs Lejeune which wasn’t a surprise as we stated before, as he is a talented player. Louisburg will look to the player that they have looked to all season long in Sophomore Guard Elijah Jamison who is one of the leading scorers in the state.
South Granville vs Greene Central: This game has a chance to be a very good one, the seeds of the teams should be thrown out the window as we know for a fact that both of these teams have talent. South Granville features 2021 Guard Bobby Pettiford Jr who is a player that can fill it up scoring wise, 2020 Forward Wy’kise Allen a player that can be a double/double machine anytime he wants and 2020 Guard Micah Jones who has shown flashes of his potential throughout the year. Greene Central has one of the top bigs in ENC in UNCW signee Imajae Dodd who is a paint protector, they also get solid play from unsigned senior forward Donte Johnson & Jekeal Gay, both are players that can score the ball at a nice rate as well as rebound.
Southwest Edgecombe vs Kinston: Kinston HS is a team that has a lot of depth and although Sophomore Dontrez Styles is a star player, Kinston has other weapons such as Junior Guard Chance Minot who is a player that can run the show and score the ball. Southwest Edgecombe features high flying Junior Keishon Porter is a player that will be called on to produce and he won’t have much of a problem doing so at just under 20 PPG.
Walkertown vs West Stokes: These teams have met twice this season already with each side getting a win, so this game will be not only to see who advances but also for bragging rights. Walkertown HS will need another big time game from Junior Guard Jalen Cone, who finished with 40 points last game, if they want to pull off the win. West Stokes has some solid players on their roster which include Issac Spainhour, who we have seen fill it up this season at times.
