Broughton would be able to hang on after that with the final score 74-66 to secure their sixth victory of the season.    Page showed why he's a top name in the 2027 class with 31 points, six rebounds, four steals and three assists (unofficially) to lead the way for Broughton. He scored in a variety of ways including an impressive two-hand jam off a steal on the opposite end. He remains a top name to know in the state given his skillset as a two-way wing/guard prospect.     Williams nearly led a comeback effort on the Willow Spring home floor with 31 points of his own along with eight rebounds and two assists. He knocked down two 3-pointers and showed he could get to the bucket at-will when given opportunities. He's an emerging unsigned senior to get to know with the Storm this season.     Taylor is another intriguing 2025 name to get to know with Broughton High. He had 18 points, four rebounds and two assists (unofficially) to propel the backcourt off the bench. He showed he could knock down shots, rebound the ball and defend alongside his counterparts on the hardwood. He's a rising name to get to know at the PG spot in the 919 area.     Terrell finished in double-figures scoring with 14 points and snagged seven rebounds but his shot wasn't falling from deep for Willow Spring. He went 2-for-6 from behind the arc and had some timely mishaps late. He'll need to sharpen things up and showcase his ability to get to the cup to see more success with the Storm.
