While Friday only has 2/3s of the games that the weekend does, it still brings some exciting matchups to the forefront. Check below for some of the best matchups of the opening day and who will be standout guys to watch.
Afternoon Session
Davidson Day and Fayetteville Academy are two programs on upward trajectories with a lot of young talent to check out. Davidson Day brings in a ton of new additions after a rough season last year, all with really good size and ability to shoot the ball. Hank Neace, Mason Smith Mason Smith 6'7" | PF Davidson Day | 2024 State NC , and Brady Kester Brady Kester 6'8" | PF Davidson Day | 2024 State NC are a few of the 2024 additions, and Anthony Rogers and Ja Spruill are two 2025s that led the squad last year and should be valuable backcourt pieces. For Fayetteville Academy, they bring every player back and that starts with impressive scorer Xavier Johnson Xavier Johnson 6'5" | PG Fayetteville Academy | 2024 State NC and freshman running mate Jossiah Johnson Jossiah Johnson 6'6" | PF Freedom Christian Academy | 2025 NC . They have Derrick Green Derrick Green 6'10" | C Fayetteville Acadamy | 2024 State NC who will hopefully be healthy and a force down low, and Tyler Henderson who is a sniper from anywhere on the court. I’ll be excited to watch all these guys and see if anyone new pops out for either team.
Evening Session
Christ School takes on Ravenscroft in a battle featuring a defending champion and an established Triangle power. Christ School returns a powerful backcourt in Keenan Wilkins Keenan Wilkins 5'11" | PG Christ School | 2024 State NC and Bryson Cokley Bryson Cokley 6'5" | SG Christ School | 2024 State NC , and retains Jamari Briggs Jamari Briggs 6'6" | CG Christ | 2024 State NC on the wing. However, they also add two huge transfers in Mikey Wilkins Mikey Wilkins 6'8" | PF Christ School | 2025 State #66 Nation NC , a top 2025 forward, and Madden Collins Madden Collins 6'3" | SG Christ School | 2025 State NC , a 2025 guard from Irmo, SC. This group of 5 should be more than enough to push Christ School back towards the top of the pile. For Ravenscroft, they retain Alex Olander Alex Olander 6'4" | SF Millbrook | 2024 State NC , a big wing that should be D2/D3 college material after another good season, and Jackson Rein Jackson Rein 6'6" | SF Ravenscroft | 2024 State NC , a sharpshooting 6’6 forward/wing. Their backcourt is still TBD with the graduation of multiple seniors, but guys like Brock Hoggard and Elijah Deifer Elijah Deifer 5'11" | PG Ravenscroft | 2026 State NC may be next up for the Ravens. I’ll be interested to see whether the Ravens can stop the machine that should be Christ School.
