2025 Rankings Risers of Northern WV

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look at the players who not only rose in the rankings but moved up the most. Here are the top rankings risers from the northern part of West Virginia. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2382654' first='Garrett' last='Wilfong'] kind came outta nowhere in March when a packed house at the Charleston Civic Center witnessed his athletic ability on display coming off the bench and finishing a fast break alley oop with a monster flush. Immediately the fans in the civic center were scrambling to find their programs and look up his name. Since then he's been on the radar of many and put together a nice AAU season being a lethal rebounder and lockdown defender. We moved Wilfong from 68 to 40 based on his performances the past six months and a projection to what he can be at the next level. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2208831' first='Troy' last='Anthony'] bolstered his ranking throughout AAU season with impressive showings and shooting performances. The Wheeling Central shooting guard is part of a super talented cast with the Maroon Knights who will certainly be back in Charleston and compete for a state title which will allow Anthony to further display his game. We believe there's some strong D3 interest in Troy's services for the next four year and those offers could come very soon. Anthony has jumped from 76 to 57. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1578731' first='Baustin' last='Bowers'] has played his way right into having chances to play at the next level. An outstanding travel/AAU season, Bowers topped it off with a great showing at the BlueChips Nation Hoop Summit that led to some D3 interest immediately after. Bowers leads the Liberty (Harrison) High School squad in their last season of existence in hopes of a long post season run and continued exposure. Bowers has leaped from the rankings watchlist to 66th in the top 100. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2208827' first='Navi' last='Hewitt'] has certainly been in grind mode for two years playing in every AAU event available, getting in as many open gyms, on campus workouts and not to mention fulfill the expectations of the Parkersburg South basketball program in season and out. Hewitt rose from 38th to 31st in the rankings due to his new interest and offer from Albright College in Reading PA. Look for Hewitt to hit the unsigned senior tournament venues and garner more interest and offers. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2241497' first='Keshaun' last='Cheek'] could be one of the best kept secrets in the 2025 class. Cheek who transferred to Martinsburg last season has taken on the Bulldog mentality in the weight room and added some serious muscle to his 6'1" frame and understands exactly how to use it on the floor on both ends. We were able to see him recently at Anderson Court Fall League and were left nothing less than impressed with his obvious work on the court and off. He's gonna be a steal for whoever sends an offer his way and signs him as he's also an excellent student. D3's and private D2's should be calling soon. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo: West Virginia<br>Triadelphia, WV<br>October 5th<br>DISCOUNT CODE: STRODEHOOPS2024<br><a href="https://events.prephoops.com/e/1251/register/the-expo-west-virginia">https://events.prephoops.com/e/1251/register/the-expo-west-virginia</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
