919 Private School Producers

With the NCISAA regular season nearing its end and conference tournaments kicking off at the end of this week, there is a lot of talent about to work their hardest to close their seasons with a with a state championship. With talent spread across the state and different classifications, we're going to spend some time today focusing on some of the guys in the 919 really producing in NCISAA play.    West is a kid that has steadily progressed in his skillset and physically, that development has led to making West a very productive and impactful player as a junior. He's a wing with legit on ball skill, he can operate in ball screens, and does a great job making plays for others when needed. Trinity Academy of Raleigh is having a successful season with a 21-2 record while being completely undefeated in NCISAA play. West does so many different things for this group at both ends of the floor. He's active on the glass, makes plays for others, and is the teams biggest/strongest athlete on the wing where he can excel in transition. West is also a capable outside shooter that has to be accounted for from beyond the arc. West is poised to take a major leap this spring/summer and this season at Trinity is simply setting him up for that.     Nathani has been a consistent producer for Ravenscroft under new Head Coach Julian Gamble and is a huge reason why this group has won 5 of their last six games and hold a 4-1 record in conference after an up and down start to the season. For Ravenscroft who is now 12-11 after a 1-7 start, Nathani is averaging 11.4 Points, 4.8 Rebounds, 0.5 Assists, and 1.1 Steals per game. He's also doing all of that while shooting 46% from the floor. Nathani is capable of making the three ball but is more efficient in the mid range where he has great touch. Nathani's willingness to play both inside/out, ability to contribute on the glass, and does a great job doing it all within the flow of the game. Nathani's move to Ravenscroft is looking like a great match for all involved.     Williams has been a consistent producer in North Carolina in every setting we've seen him whether it be travel ball or on the high school side of things. Cary Academy is 11-12 on the season but have found their winning stride in conference play where they're 4-1 thus far. Williams is averaging 14.8 Points, 5.1 Rebounds, 3.4 Assists, and 1.5 Steals per game as a senior. He's doing all of that on 44/38/80 splits proving he's an efficient player from all over the floor. Williams has deep range off the catch or bounce, good size for a PG, and uses his length to disrupt other guards on the perimeter defensively. Williams will greatly benefit from a college weight lifting program and as that frame bulks up he'll only get better and more productive. Expect Williams to help make Cary Academy a really tough out in the NCISAA playoffs and potentially help them go on a cinderella run, they have the kind of pieces to pull it off.     Holmes has been an incredibly reliable all around producer for Cary Christian this year who is enjoying a lot of success as a team as well. With a 15-8 record on the season despite dealing with some injuries in their lineup, Cary Christian is a tough unit to deal with considering how scrappy are combined with their discipline in the offense they run. As a junior, Holmes is averaging 10.9 Points, 6.5 Assists, 5.1 Rebounds, 4.0 Steals, and 0.7 Blocks per game. Holmes has a constant presence on whatever game he's playing in with his vision, physical presence in the backcourt, and ability to finish in traffic at the rim. He helps execute their offense and is a true two way connector. He competes for rebounds, puts his body on the line to make a play, and brings a ton of toughness to each game. If Holmes can continue on improving his shooting efficiency, he's going to become a next level target sooner rather than later because he can play.     Midgal has made the move over to St. David's under Coach [player_tooltip player_id='2768412' first='Levi' last='Watkins'] and he has been undeniably productive for this team that is 15-11 on the season so far. Midgal is a constant scoring threat due to his deep range and crafty off the bounce game that allow him to score at the rim with frequency. Midgal is averaging 18.3 Points, 4.3 Rebounds, 4.2 Assists, and 2.7 Steals per game. He's doing all of that on 42/33/80 splits which is fairly efficient especially considering the volume and attention he gets from opposing defenses. Midgal is relentless with his approach and is constantly looking to create offense for himself and others. He brings that same competitive fire to the other side of the ball where he often uses his quick hands to get steals as he's averaging almost 3 per game. Midgal should continue to establish himself as a next level prospect on this St. Davids playoff run into the ensuing travel ball season.
