Way-Too-Early Preview: South Wake Athletic Conference Power Rankings
<p>The South Wake Athletic Conference saw the Holly Springs Golden Hawks go 12-0 with UVA commit <strong>Kadin Shedrick</strong> leading the way during the regular season. Things could go differently in 2019-20.</p>
<h5>Apex Friendship</h5>
<p>Apex Friendship is probably one of the more deeper squads in the South Wake Athletic Conference with NC State commit <strong>Nick Farrar</strong> leading the way. Aside from Farrar, there's <strong>Jayden Beloti, Jeremiah Baker, Jackson Spencer</strong> and<strong> Kenny Noland</strong>. Keep an eye on them to make a deep run in states.</p>
<h5>Holly Springs</h5>
<p><strong>Marcus Elliott, Kaleb Scott</strong> and <strong>Dante Kiesenhofer</strong> are three names that should get a lot of attention from opposing teams in the SWAC. Elliott can run the point while Scott and Kiesenhofer will be a burden to guard in the frontcourt.</p>
<h5>Garner Magnet</h5>
<p>Garner Magnet went 9-3 in SWAC league play this past season, losing to Apex Friendship once and Holly Springs twice. With 2022 <strong>Asa White</strong> and 2020s <strong>Mekhi Townes</strong> and <strong>Chris Nobles</strong> back, they'll look to beat them more often in 2019-20.</p>
<h5>Middle Creek</h5>
<p>The fourth spot is only a preliminary one for the Middle Creek Mustangs given their potential with 2021s <strong>Tharius Suggs, Sam Perez, Cooper Land</strong> and company. They've got the size and talent that could put them near the top of the league by season's end.</p>
<h5>South Garner</h5>
<p>The South Garner Titans went just 2-10 in conference play in 2018-19. With a team full of sophomores and juniors, things could end differently for them. <strong>Josh Johnson</strong> and <strong>Julius Peacock</strong> are a few names to keep an eye on.</p>
<h5>Apex</h5>
<p>Apex will be under a new head coach in 2019-20 so the expectations may not be too high. 2022 guard <strong>Zane Cogdell</strong> and 2021 guard <strong>Logan Adams</strong> are two prospects that should get a ton of looks for Apex this upcoming season. </p>
<h5>Fuquay - Varina</h5>
<p>Fuquay-Varina is another squad that won just two games in SWAC play in 2018-19. When he's focused and locked in, 6-foot-3 wing<strong> Wol Yak</strong> plays well above the rim. 2020<strong> Tyrek Street</strong> and 2021 <strong>Ryan Maslow</strong> are two other players that should step up and do well.</p>
