<p>The NCISAA High School season is underway in the state of North Carolina. Here’s a look at some teams that were in action this past week.</p>
<h5>Look out for Winston-Salem Christian</h5>
<p>In their first season as a national program, Winston-Salem Christian is already making waves with a down to the wire 87-84 victory over Bull City Prep to kick off the season in the GetMeRecruited High School Tip-Off this past Tuesday. They were led by [player_tooltip player_id="1028008" first="Christian" last="Cornish"], [player_tooltip player_id="838029" first="Jordan" last="Wildy"] and [player_tooltip player_id="848066" first="Brandon" last="White"], who made plays down the stretch to boost their squad to victory. Cornish finished with 16 points and seven rebounds while Wildy led the way with 21 points along with three rebounds. White posted 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocks. [player_tooltip player_id="848091" first="Quante" last="Berry"] also finished with six points and eight assists. </p>
<p>They’ve got a stellar schedule on their hands with appearances this year in the Bojangles Bash, The Beach Ball Classic, The Chance Harman Class and other top showcases alongside national programs. </p>
<h5>GRACE Christian/Trinity Academy Raleigh Scrimmage</h5>
<p>Trinity Academy came out firing on all cylinders in a Friday night scrimmage against GRACE Christian School this past Friday. One name to remember this season: [player_tooltip player_id="944974" first="Jakwon" last="Moore"]. Moore was all over the place in making his presence felt with blocks, steals, dunks and made 3-pointers to show he’s set to make a strong impact on this Trinity Academy squad in 2020-21. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="838030" first="Keeyan" last="Itejere"] was impressive for GRACE Christian School as well showing his continued growth as their primary option. As he learns to attack under control and with an awareness of the whole floor, he’s a prospect set to make waves at the next level. He’s headed to the University of Texas after his senior season.</p>
<h5>[player_tooltip player_id="992474" first="Mikey" last="Williams"] & Company Impress @ Big Shots Myrtle Beach</h5>
<p>In the Big Shots Myrtle Beach Tip-Off, Lake Norman Christian went 2-0 following some impressive performances from [player_tooltip player_id="947287" first="Trey" last="Green"], [player_tooltip player_id="985568" first="Jonathan" last="Kurtas"], <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1085644" first="JP" last="Haggarty"]</strong> and [player_tooltip player_id="992474" first="Mikey" last="Williams"]. Green was impressive in their opening victory against First Baptist, draining six 3-pointers on his way to a 25-point performance. He’s an emerging prospect in the 2023 class that continues to improve. Haggarty knocked six 3-pointers across their two wins. Kurtas was one of the best shot blockers in the event. There was rarely a moment where he got scored on, using his length in the paint to alter shots. </p>
<p>Williams averaged 20.5 ppg across the weekend with 19 points in their opening victory. In their second game, Williams went scoreless in the first half but came out firing in the second, finishing with 22 points in a comeback 67-57 victory over IMG Elite.</p>
