He was dialed in on the perimeter which in turn got his offense going getting downhill as well. He's a fluid prospect in the 2026 class to keep an eye on. <strong>Ethan Kinney</strong> (2026), <strong>Just'us Burns</strong> (2027) and <strong>Kai Crosby (2026)</strong> are some other standout names to know with them. Kinney is a versatile presence to get to know who did a little bit of everything to make an impact. Burns is another versatile wing/forward who showed he could hold his own cleaning up on the glass as well as knocking down shots on the perimeter. Crosby is a combo guard prospect who plays strong in getting paint touches and making things happen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3rd Place: Rockingham County</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rockingham County took home the 3rd Place crown at the Battle at BCS following a down-to-the-wire finish in sudden-death overtime against North Davidson. It looked like the Cougars would win things in regulation, but the Black Knights wouldn't go away quietly. Rockingham held a six-point lead with less than a minute to go before [player_tooltip player_id='2399387' first='Coen' last='Miller'] and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2887160' first='Connor' last='Davis']</strong> knocked down 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to tie things up before time expired. Rockingham would hold court though in overtime, getting a stop in the initial possession of sudden-death then <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884625' first='James' last='Thomas'] </strong>sealed it with a walk-off 3-pointer on the ensuing fastbreak. He's an intriguing prospect to watch in the 2027 class given his prowess at the lead guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Rock_Boys_Bball/status/1934361295018770485","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Rock_Boys_Bball/status/1934361295018770485 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Champions: Oak Grove High</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oak Grove High went unbeaten at the Battle at BCS at 4-0 as they took home the championship in the inaugural event. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884645' first='Brady' last='Vallance']</strong> took home the Most Outstanding Prospect award, though <strong>Graham Brinkley, [player_tooltip player_id='2884654' first='Lathan' last='Pruitt']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884648' first='Cam' last='Cannady']</strong> were a few other names to make note of with the Grizzlies. Vallance showed poise as a defensive pest and fast-starter on offense who could get his teammates in the right spots and lead his team to victory. They were a stifling defensive group who played well together setting quite the tone. Brinkley made the game-winning bucket in their first game, but in the others, Oak Grove ran away with things. In the championship, they won 50-27. The score was 35-24 with 5:57 remaining. They're a well-rounded group who know how to get after it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2882700,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_1576-crop-1639x1076-1750086737.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_1576-crop-1639x1076-1750086737.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2882700" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center">Stay tuned for more throughout the week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
