Continue ReadingIf there was an East NC Player Of the Year Award, he would most certainly have to get the nod as he led his team to another state championship while being dominant on both ends of the floor. They did not lose a game this season against any team in the state of North Carolina, and his production was part of the reason why, he averaged 24 Points & 2 Steals per game for the season, often taking on the assignment of guarding the best offensive player from the opposing team.
Highlights
Coming in right behind Short, Faison had a tremendous season as well, leading Goldsboro to an appearance in the East Regional Finals. His team finished with a record of 28-3 while he scored 25 Points, snatched down 13 Rebounds and blocked 3 shots per game. He’s strong, athletic and has put in plenty of time to round out his game offensively which we could clearly see from how well he shot the ball from the perimeter this season.
Highlights
One of the most improved players in the state, it has been very impressive to see the strides he made from his sophomore season going into his junior season. He increased his scoring average from 17 Points per game to 26 Points a night, as well as averaging more: rebounds, steals and assist than he did in the previous season.
The Richmond Raiders were able to reach the State Championship game for the first time in over twenty years and he was one of the main reasons why. His scoring ability against all types of defensive schemes was on full display throughout the year but what truly impressed us even more than his play was his mental toughness and how much he celebrated the success of his teammates. For the season he averaged 24 Points, 9 Rebounds, and 4 Assist, while leading his team to a 28-3 record.
Highlights
One of the most dominant players in the entire state, Scott led his squad to an Eastern Regionals appearance for the first time in twenty years. For the season he averaged over 22 Points, 13 Rebounds and 3 Blocks per game while facing double and triple teams on a regular basis throughout the year.
He made his presence known in his first and only season in the state, putting together a productive season scoring and rebounding the ball with averages of 18 Points & 7 Rebounds per game. Standing at 6’5/6’6 he has the size and strength to play inside the post, but he can also step out and make plays on the perimeter with just as much efficiency.
