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.

Dwight Canady Dwight Canady 6'0" | CG Hendersonville | 2022 State NC and Keenan Wilkins Keenan Wilkins 5'11" | PG Christ School | 2024 State NC 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.
Lincoln Charter (19-4)
Lincoln Charter is on the rise thanks to their backcourt of JJ Moore JJ Moore 5'9" | PG Quality Education | 2024 NC and Marcus Farley Jr Marcus Farley Jr 6'2" | CG Lincoln Charter | 2022 State NC . Elijah Burnett and Xavier Crawford 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.

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. Daevin Hobbs Daevin Hobbs 6'6" | PF Robinson | 2023 State NC has been a star on the gridiron and the football field for Robinson as he’s posted 14.9 ppg.

Salisbury (15-4)
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 Jayden Harris Jayden Harris 6'6" | SG Salisbury | 2024 State #220 Nation NC and senior wing Cam Stout 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.
