The March rankings for the 2024 class will be the final ranking and media content supplied by us so completing these rankings come with great pride. The listing below is the newest additions to the rankings list. When in December it seemed impossible to find 100 kids to rank to now where it seems we could’ve possibly ranked 150. Congrats to these new additions to the newest updated and final rankings.
Beau Bennett Beau Bennett 6'2" | CG Ravenswood | 2024 State WV led the Ravenswood squad to a state tournament berth while finishing up a great senior regular season. Bennett is a threat from deep that stretches defenses and allows the twin towers inside to gobble rebounds. Bennett will likely be the player you notice first when the ball goes in the air for Ravenswood because he will make plays on both ends.
Ronny Griest Ronny Griest 6'1" | CG Moorefield | 2024 State WV is a 1000 point scorer for Moorefield and probably one of their best ever. He’s a very skilled small school guard that scores at every level.
Ethan Rosenau Ethan Rosenau 6'2" | SG Tucker County | 2024 State WV is a field general who doubles a long range bomber in the winter. Rosenau provides great compliments to the other Tucker Co. squad providing great shooting from deep and high basketball IQ.
Brandon Hileman Brandon Hileman 5'10" | PG Doddridge | 2024 State WV has burst onto the small school scene catching fire and being white hot in the postseason leading the Doddridge squad to a state tournament spot including a buzzer beating shot to win over Weirton Madonna. Hileman has settled into a part time facilitator for the Bulldogs and has raised his level of play doing so.
Brayden French Brayden French 6'0" | CG Westside | 2024 State WV played a big role in Westside’s resurgence in hoops. Providing alot of scoring support when opponents keyed on other players.
Britt Beasley Britt Beasley 6'0" | CG Princeton | 2025 WV was one of our most pleasant surprises this summer in AAU season. He’s a crafty and efficient player who plays a great role for the AA favorite Bluefield Beavers.
Owen Knotts Owen Knotts 6'5" | PF Tucker County | 2024 State WV would be a star at most places but he’s at Tucker County competing for state championships. Knotts is a 6’5″ athlete with great feef and feel for the game. Not a big scorer but has potential to do so. He’ll play a big part if Tucker wins this week.
Payton Bunch Payton Bunch 5'9" | PG Williamstown | 2024 State WV is one of Williamstown’s first players off the bench and would be a star most other places. Bunch is a 5’8″ fireplug who knows the game and is a stud defensively. Bunch is also no stranger to pulling the trigger from deep.
