He took home the Most Valuable Player Award with 18 points, two rebounds and two assists in their 71-54 victory over Northwood. Sharpe dropped 26 points, four rebounds and three steals in their 79-50 victory over Bandys in the West Region Finals. He'll be one to watch next season at USC-Aiken as he continues his career at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633043"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2820200,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e227d3a51cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller took home the West Region MVP Award in the NCHSAA 3A State Championship game following 13 points and five rebounds in their 64-62 overtime victory over Southern Durham. The 6-foot-5 wingman showed off his ability to attack the paint in their West Region victory over Huss with 21 points and seven rebounds on 8-of-12 shooting from the field as well. He's a shifty prospect with some budding athleticism he continues to utilize to his advantage. Following Ben L. Smith's victory in the NCHSAA 3A State Championship, he remains a top unsigned senior prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1889843"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e227d3a5309"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wiggins was a pivotal piece in Wesleyan Christian Academy's success given his ability to operate as a scoring threat and rebounder. He did well to showcase his ability to score around the rim and painted area with his strong frame, length and athleticism. Defensively, he's shown he can defend multiple positions given his length and activity. He's got a bright future ahead of him as he heads to Old Dominion this upcoming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2454135"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e227d3a52d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Waterfield is another prospect for DII and DIII programs to get eyes on in the region. He's a prospect at 6-foot-5 who's shown he can operate on the wing and at the small forward spot given his strong rebounding presence, especially on the offensive end of the floor. He put together some strong performances for the Villains as they made the Elite 8 of the NCHSAA 1A State Playoffs, including 24 points and eight rebounds against North Rowan in the Sweet 16.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1372455"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e227d3a5259"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Graves led the Bishop McGuinness backcourt in more ways than one in their run in the NCHSAA 1A State Playoffs. He put together a strong month of March which included two triple-doubles including 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in their Sweet 16 victory over North Rowan. He's a crafty guard who makes things happen when the ball comes his way. He's a Kenyon College commit who's really turned things up a notch over the past few months of the high school season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284842"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e227d3a5218"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Newkirk ends his high school career on a high note with Greensboro Day School, closing it out with an NCISAA 3A State Championship. He's a do-it-all forward who only needs a sliver of space to showcase his stretch-forward ability on the wing. He put up 13 points, eight rebounds and two steals to win the Bengals' 13th championship in school history. He'll be quite the glue guy to contend with at Washington &amp; Lee University at the next level for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2053614"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e227d3a5298"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another underrated prospect in the Ben L. Smith backcourt, Mann was another pivotal piece in the Eagles' run to the NCHSAA 3A State Championship. He's a playmaker guard with untapped potential still as an attacker off the bounce with his budding athleticism. He dished out three assists in the West Region Finals and four in their state title game victory over Southern Durham. He's a prospect for DII and DIII programs in the region to get eyes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2375831"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e2b6120b875"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrecruited point guards in the state, Johnson moves into the 110th spot in the final rankings update out of Rockingham County in the 336 area. He showcased a knack for filling up the stat sheet in 2024-25 with 28,7 points, 5.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 steals per game for the Cougars. As a senior, he shot 51 percent from the field and 47 percent from deep in the NCHSAA 3A ranks. DII/DIII/NAIA programs in need of a heady floor general should inquire about him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1909355"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e2b6120b8be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shoaf led the Oak Grove varsity squad in his senior season as he continues to climb the PH radar in the final rankings update. He finished the season posting 21.6 points, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game on 50 percent shooting from the floor and 38 percent shooting from deep. The Grizzlies upset top-seed East Henderson 75-72 in the second round of the NCHSAA 3A State Playoffs behind 26 points from Shoaf. He's a confident guard who knows how to play the right way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
