Continue ReadingWe’re highlighting the big school performers that weren’t a part of the Par Mar Shootout. Would’ve been easy to skip this weeks report and highlight the Par Mar event performers, but we are always looking for ways to expand the “footprint” and include as many new players as possible.
Roman Kellum Roman Kellum 6'5" | PF South Charleston | 2025 State WV had a monster game against Huntington High School with 20 points 13 rebounds 1 steals 1 block and for a second game of the week, against Capital high school 19 points 10 rebounds 6 blocks 1 assists
Trey Stump Trey Stump 6'1" | CG Nicholas County | 2025 State WV 25 points last night with 7 3’s vs Hoover in a loss. Stump has worked himself into one of the state’s better scorers and long range shooters.
Payton Bailes Payton Bailes 5'10" | SG Midland Trail | 2026 State WV gets it done and in big fashion with 29 points, 6 reb, 3 assist, 2 steals. The younger Bailes, Payton is giving some coaches extra prep time by being a constant threat for Trail.
Zyon Hawthorne Zyon Hawthorne 6'0" | CG Woodrow Wilson | 2026 State WV dropped 23 points vs Princeton in a regional matchup. Zyon has comfortably become one of the Flying Eagles top scoring threats. The D1 recruited point guard is nearly unstoppable when receiving the ball and heading downhill. Hawthorne is poised to likely get further offers throughout the spring and summer.
Jared Vestal went out with a bang scoring 16 points vs Nicholas Co on senior night.
Carter Zuliani Carter Zuliani 6'5" | PF Buckhannon-Upshur | 2025 State WV dropped 21 points 17 rebounds on #5 Lewis County. Zuliani is a two sport standout with a possible future in either. Likely football at the next level, but with his stature and good football feet, he’s a beast in the paint.
Eli Campbell Eli Campbell 6'0" | CG Midland Trail | 2024 State WV continues his streak of big games with19 points vs Riverside and 22 in a huge win over Nicholas. Campbell has become known to many throughout the year, not only with his big scoring numbers but rather the consistency that they’ve frequented.
Jack Williams put together a nice game to hop on the report for his first time. Jack dropped 22 with 9 of those from behind the arc. Williams will be relied upon going forward for scoring and has great ability to shoot at all levels. Although a loss to Fairmont Sr., it shows his ability to score vs some of WV’s top defenders.
Andre Grant Andre Grant 5'11" | CG Fairmont Senior | 2024 State WV makes his debut also going off for 22 points in the marquee AAA matchup with Shady Spring. Grant is flying under the recruiting radar but has great opportunities coming up the next few months to change that.
Brothers Eli Patton Eli Patton 5'10" | PG Mercer Christian Academy | 2027 State WV (18 pts, 7 rebs, 4 assists) and MJ Patton MJ Patton 5'11" | PG Mercer Christian Academy | 2025 State WV (17 pts, 10 stls, 4 assists) teamed up for a big win over VBA.

Maxwell also posted 24 in a win vs Princeton in week 10.
Braydon McClung Braydon McClung 6'0" | CG Greenbrier West | 2024 State WV hung 28 on Independence for a huge win. McClung has been steady and consistent throughout the year leading GW in scoring most nights.
Austin Bishop Austin Bishop 6'0" | CG Westside | 2025 State WV poured in 30 points including 8 from behind the arc in a blowout victory vs. West Logan. Bishop has came on strong this season taking the lead in a resurging Westside squad.
Brandon Isaac Brandon Isaac 6'2" | SG Summers County | 2024 State WV dropped 27 to lead Summers County over River View.
Cameron Blevins scored 16 in a huge win over Wyoming East. This is Cameron’s first appearance on the report. The quick and crafty point guard is a game changer when he controls the tempo and getting to the basket is never a problem.
