Brooks battled through foul trouble in their Region Final victory comeback over Bishop McGuinness but he’s still a factor in the frontcourt/wing for the Eastern Randolph squad as they’ve gotten this far. He’s a wiry forward that flies around on both ends making plays around the rim and comes in averaging a double-double (24.3 ppg, 11.9 rpg) on the season.
Leonard stepped up in a big way in their comeback victory against Bishop McGuinness with 11 points in the third quarter and 10 points in the fourth quarter including a big 3-pointer to give them the lead for good 54-51 in the waning moments. He’s an aggressive guard that can knock down shots and get to his spots in the paint for the Wildcats. He’ll have his work cut out for him with Wilson Prep this Saturday.
Brower was another Eastern Randolph player that stepped up in their Region Final comeback with 10 points in the second half including a 3-pointer to boost their lead to four points in the fourth quarter. He’s a 6-foot-2 underrated sophomore that can operate on the perimeter as a playmaker and shot maker with the ball in his hands. He’ll be a 2025 name to watch in the state finals.

Jones exploded against Bertie in the Region Finals for 26 points for Wilson Prep as one of their senior leaders. He’s a competitor that can get to his spots off the bounce and knock down shots in the mid-range area. He also gets after it defensively as well and has a good challenge in front of him in Eastern Randolph.
Minter is an emerging wing prospect to get to know in the 2024 class at Wilson Prep. He finished with 13 points in their Region Final victory over Bertie. When he finds his rhythm on the perimeter, he’s tough to stop for the Tigers. He comes in averaging 14.0 ppg on 36 percent shooting from the perimeter.
Anderson is another complementary guard in the Wilson Prep backcourt to keep eyes on. He finished with 11 points in the victory over Bertie High in the Region Final. He’s a crafty guard that can get to his spots off the bounce and knock down shots on all three levels while also making plays for others.
