NCHSAA 2A West Favorites, 3rd Edition

<h5>With the conference tournament portion of the season approaching, we take a look at the 3rd edition of the 2A West Favorites in the NCHSAA.</h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5>R-S Central (21-2)</h5> <p>R-S Central High rides an 11-game winning streak after going unbeaten in conference action with a talented rotation. They’ll close their schedule out tonight against Chase High. [player_tooltip player_id="1342386" first="Tyrese" last="Miller"] is an unsigned senior name to know that can score it and rebound in bunches. [player_tooltip player_id="1164550" first="Zymicah" last="Wilkins"] is a young freshman prospect to watch that’s putting up solid numbers. They’re a well-rounded group with potential in this year’s state playoffs field.</p> <h5>Hendersonville (21-2)</h5> <p>Hendersonville High has lost just one game in their last 14 meetings and that’s to conference foe R-S Central in overtime this past season. They could meet a few more times before it’s all said and done as they’re a top squad in their same conference. [player_tooltip player_id="945080" first="Dwight" last="Canady"] and [player_tooltip player_id="951365" first="Keenan" last="Wilkins"] are one of the top backcourt duos in 2A and they’ll be ready when these two teams square off again in the conference tournament.</p> <h5>Lincoln Charter (19-4)</h5> <p>Lincoln Charter is on the rise thanks to their backcourt of [player_tooltip player_id="1008884" first="JJ" last="Moore"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1029276" first="Marcus" last="Farley Jr"]. <strong>Elijah Burnett</strong> and <strong>Xavier Crawford</strong> are also two 2023 prospects to know with this group as they went 10-0 in conference play and have won 12 straight games with the conference tournament around the corner. They’ll be a favorite to make it to the state finals once again.</p> <h5>Robinson (19-3)</h5> <p>Robinson High has won four games in a row after dropping a 1-point loss to Harding University High back on Jan. 27. They’ll close out their regular season schedule on Friday night against a solid Mount Pleasant squad. [player_tooltip player_id="1360301" first="Daevin" last="Hobbs"] has been a star on the gridiron and the football field for Robinson as he’s posted 14.9 ppg. Unsigned senior <strong>Jaylan Jackson </strong>is another name to watch with his ability to score the ball.</p> <h5>Salisbury (15-4)</h5> <p>Salisbury High took their first loss since Dec. 3 this past Wednesday against Thomasville which should prepare them for the road ahead. They’ll close out their regular season against another top squad in West Rowan tonight. 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="1126297" first="Jayden" last="Harris"] and senior wing <strong>Cam Stout</strong> are a few names to keep an eye on with this group, as they’re a scrappy group that gets after it on both ends.</p>
