Updated 2025 Rankings: Guards (15-6)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's that time of year again where we do our quarterly rankings updates, and we will start with the senior class! We've had quite a while to compile our 2025 rankings over the past four years, so we had a solid list already but that doesn't mean things haven't changed with transfers and shakeups throughout the list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We will be doing content throughout the week on new additions, biggest risers and positional rankings. Here's a look at part two of the top point and combo guards in the senior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>15) [player_tooltip player_id='2451937' first='Adarius' last='Boston'] | 6'4” CG | King's Fork (#43 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boston is having a monster senior season for a King's Fork team that is primed for a deep postseason run, and he's looking like one of the top available players in all of the 757. The 6'4” combo has grown into his body and gotten very explosive over the past year or so, he can knock down tough shots from multiple levels, he's an excellent defender who uses his length and athleticism to get deflections and challenge shots and he can make plays for others as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>14) [player_tooltip player_id='2571740' first='TJ' last='Jackson'] | 6'1” PG | Oak Hill Red (#41 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson may not play for the main Oak Hill team, but he's a player who has shown he's capable of playing with the best of them and consistently puts up big numbers as both a scorer and a distributor as well. At 6'1” he's a very good athlete who has a quick first step and great balance to create space and get his shot off, he has great vision and can deliver passes on point with both hands, he shoots it well from deep and is a good finisher in traffic too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>13) [player_tooltip player_id='1339892' first='Julian' last='Rivera'] | 6'1” PG | Highland (#35 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2288361,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-04-at-11.48.45-AM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-04-at-11.48.45-AM.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2288361" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rivera has quietly been one of the best point guards in the NOVA area, as he's just a winner who makes positive plays which he's showed leading them a state championship two years ago and having them atop the Elite Prep League and one of the favorites in the loaded VISAA D1 classification. Rivera sets the tone defensively with his ability to shut down top perimeter scorers on a regular basis, he has a very high IQ and makes great decisions, he can knock down open shots from deep and he scores it efficiently from multiple levels too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>12) [player_tooltip player_id='1494113' first='Camryn' last='Pacheco'] | 6'4” CG | Spotswood (#33 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2724492,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageRePz2u.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageRePz2u.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2724492" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mount St. Mary's commit has been one of the best players in Harrisonburg over the past few years, earning All State honors multiple times and he's having a terrific senior season for a Spotswood team that could make a deep run in the Class 3. At 6'4” he has good positional size and knows how to get to spots and make tough shots, he can knock down shots from deep on the move, he is able to create off the bounce for himself and others and he makes plays defensively too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>11) [player_tooltip player_id='1956063' first='Adrean' last='Newton'] | 6'0” PG | Maury (#28 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2724461,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImagejkgwSK.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImagejkgwSK.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2724461" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Newton has been one of the best guards in the 757 since his freshman year where he started from his first day he was a freshman, and he has molded himself into a dual threat guard who can control the game and produce across the board. He's a lightning quick guard with a great first step and good end-to-end speed, he scores it well from multiple levels, he can move off the ball and knock down shots, he sees the floor well and he can guard the length of the floor too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10) [player_tooltip player_id='1494115' first='Cy' last='Hardy'] | 6'0” PG | Northside (#27 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2568105,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagecGVAYb.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagecGVAYb.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2568105" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hardy has quite the resume for a high school player, as he's a two time state champion and two time state Player of the Year in Class 3, with a chance for a three-peat this year if he can lead them again this year. One of the most underrated guards on the east coast, Hardy is a do-it-all guard who controls the tempo and runs the show, he has excellent vision and playmaking ability, he can score the ball from all three levels effectively and he's able to take over games and steps his game up when he's in big matchups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9) [player_tooltip player_id='1767516' first='Colby' last='White'] | 6'3” CG | Blue Ridge (#22 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2291573,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/White-Colby.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/White-Colby.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2291573" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White has had a fantastic senior season, emerging as one of the top available guards in VA and helping lead Blue Ridge to an impressive season heading into the VISAA D1 playoffs.

At 6'6” he has fantastic size and is able to get to his spots and shoot over defenders, he's an athletic finisher when he gets downhill, he's a good playmaker with great vision who can see over defenders and he's able to play and guard multiple positions too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6) [player_tooltip player_id='1494109' first='Ashton' last='Walker'] | 6'4” PG | Catholic (#18 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1972979,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Walker-Ashton-BWSL.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Walker-Ashton-BWSL.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1972979" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Radford commit has had a sensational senior year, putting up big numbers on a consistent basis including a 51 points game this past weekend in a win over Benedictine. He's always had a ton of talent, and this year it seems to have clicked, as he's been dominant throughout the season on both ends of the floor and has shown a lot of growth in his game recently. He scores it effortlessly on the ball from all three levels, he sees over the defense and can deliver pin-point passes with both hands, he is a good defender who uses his size and length to his advantage and he has a competitive chip that separates him from others as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
