1K Club - Celebrating The Newest 1,000 Point Scorers

<p>With such a deep group of talented players across the state, it's only normal to see many eclipse the one thousand point threshold over their high school careers. With it being such an achievement to accomplish, we decided to take a look at some of the newest members of the club this year. Check out who's etched their names into the history books over the course of this season.</p>   <p><strong><em>Missing a name? Future articles will be coming in order to celebrate everyone, but DM me at v_taylor3 on Twitter to nominate an athlete to recognize!</em></strong></p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1382077' first='Johnniyus' last='Sharpe']</h3>   <p>Sharpe has hit the 1,000 mark in his junior season, continuing his advanced scoring prowess at Reidsville after transferring from Cummings. He is both a football star and a basketball star, making him an attractive option to many a college coach. Reidsville remains undefeated with him and his star duo of Neal and Harrison on the court.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JohnniyusSharpe/status/1744919546098520170?s=20 </div></figure>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1667677' first='Isaac' last='Ericksen']</h3>   <p>Ericksen is excelling so far for undefeated Green Level as he's crossed the 1,000 point threshold midway through his junior year as well. His ability to score the ball at multiple levels as well as him being a wing with his 6'8 frame means he'll continue to rack up those stats over the next 1.5 seasons.</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1719080' first='Reid' last='Albright']</h3>   <p>Here we have a guy who's been excelling all three years he's been on varsity, as Albright is another who's crossed the plateau in his junior season. He's scoring almost 24 PPG and acting as the go to guy for this Chatham Central team who is continuing to exceed expectations and be a force in the state tournament.</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1365507' first='Karsten' last='Swinney']</h3>   <p>Swinney hit the 1K mark in his third season on varsity after playing for the school's JV team in 8th grade. His advanced scoring ability makes up for his unconventional size (5'8 120), and is on pace to average 8 PPG more each year he has been on varsity. </p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2328882' first='Luke' last='Staten']</h3>   <p>Staten is an underrated name to get to know from the Davidson County, as the 4 year varsity guard has become essential for a streaking Central Davidson group. He's a scrappy player who leads a balanced effort from the Spartans with over 17 PPG.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SportsTalk336/status/1734966407475921355?s=20 </div></figure>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1076364' first='Peter' last='Moye']</h3>   <p>Moye is a criminally under recruited player who has performed well against elite competition. He's a finished product who's been above average for the 3 years he's been on varsity, and has been playing lights out recently. His 22 PPG make him a top scorer in the Charlotte area.</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1428704' first='Kenny' last='Vera']</h3>   <p>Vera has become an electric point guard out of the Fayetteville area, and reached the 1,000 point club in December. He's able to fill the basket up in a hurry, and his continued impressive play earned him his first scholarship offer from Shaw earlier this month.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/NTAEAGLESBB/status/1734400020445618685?s=20 </div></figure>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1076337' first='Kamran' last='Prince']</h3>   <p>Prince is a transfer from CB Aycock, where two outstanding years on varsity put him in position to achieve the milestone earlier this season at Trinity Academy. His blend of athleticism and slashing ability, combined with his emerging ability to make plays at the lead guard spots makes him a college level prospect.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TAR_Basketball/status/1730020353571754239?s=20 </div></figure>
