The Kennesaw State commit finished Saturday’s win over Miami Norland just short of a triple-double. Seals finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists. Seals made an impact on the defensive end as well where he utilized his versatility guarding multiple positions and getting defensive stops when it mattered most.

The 6-5 senior point guard brought tremendous size and skillset on Saturday finishing with 15 points, three steals and three assists in the win over Shabach Christian (Maryland). The three level scorer continues to showcase his unselfishness as he can create in a variety of ways. On the defensive side, Washington uses his length and athleticism where he covers a ton of ground on the perimeter. Look for Isaiah to have a big season this year for Winston-Salem Christian as he has received his latest offers from Dayton and St. Bonaventure.
The 6-3 sophomore point guard continues to play with a ton of speed and confidence. In the win over Leto, Williams finished with 19 points and eight assists utilizing his confidence in the half court.

Look for Williams to make a strong impact this season for Edgewater as he is triggering coaches’ radars at a young age.
The 6-5 senior point guard showcased a lot of confidence in his playmaking despite the loss to SLAM Tampa. Wilson plays with great pace and under control with his ability to push the basketball up the floor in transition. Wilson also showcased his playmaking throwing lobs at the front of the rim to his teammates. On the defensive side, he continues to guard multiple positions where he uses his length and is an above-average rebounder for his size.

The 6-4 senior shooting guard continues to show reasons why he is one of the top sharpshooters in the state. Sammy finished with 21 points and knocked down a season-high seven 3-pointers in the overtime win over Tampa Catholic. On the defensive end, Sammy played with a ton of intensity where he didn’t take any possessions off. He has a ton of upside this season as he should gain some college offers.
Gibson, a 6-4 freshman combo guard really introduced himself into the national spotlight as he is an emerging candidate to be a top player in the Class of 2027. Gibson has a tremendous blend of athleticism, size and speed to his game where he plays under control most of the time. He is also very strong when it comes to finishing on the attack as he makes a strong presence at the front of the rim. On the defensive side, Gibson showcased his potential to guard on and off the ball at a high level.
The 6-5 sophomore guard has no surprises in his skillset, as he can score across all three levels. He was very active right from the opening tip on Saturday against Miami Norland. Piggott finished with 18 points, two rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the win. Piggott has emerged as an elite on-the-ball defender for his class as well where he was very active and can cover a ton of ground with his speed. Piggott continues to show he has endless potential as he still has two more years of high school basketball left after this season.
