Open Gym Tour: South Granville High School

<p>The South Granville Vikings should be a team to watch this upcoming season especially with<strong> Bobby Pettiford Jr.</strong> in the lineup. They’re a squad that goes as Pettiford does and its with good reason. He’s a player that can go out and score 30-40 points a game and make it look effortless. He put up 19.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game in 2018-29.</p> <p>Pettiford is a playmaker with weapons around him and given how things ended last season, the expectations are a lot higher with more talent on the team. There's 2020 guards <strong>Micah Jones</strong> and <strong>Wykise Allen</strong>. Jones is a lights out 3-point shooter that shot 37 percent from 3-point land and Allen is a guard that can get to the rim whenever he wants. He averaged 16.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in 2018-19. 2021 <strong>Daniel Jones</strong> is back as well, a gritty two-way guard that gets after it on both ends.</p> <p>2020 guard <strong>Kobe Jones</strong> is a new addition from Granville Central. He can jump out of the gym and his floor game is really coming along. 2021 forward <strong>Adrian Carneal</strong> is another player that's coming along and getting more aggressive on the glass and in the paint.</p> <p>2021 guard <strong>Christian Byrd</strong> and 2022 guard <strong>Collin Tanner</strong> are two other reserves that are due to contribute mightily. Both of them can fill it up from 3-point range and Tanner is a player that's grown from 5-foot-11 to roughly 6-foot-4  entering his sophomore season. </p> <p>From top to bottom, the Vikings are set to field a talented group of guys that can have a deep run in the state tournament. It would be a surprise to not see them win the Northern Carolina Conference as they're bound to be the pre-season favorite. Now, they'll just need to execute when the season arrives.</p>
