Here's a look at part two of the wing prospects from the Central/Southern/Western area in the rankings.   #92) [player_tooltip player_id='2399485' first='Samuel' last='Seaborn'] | 6'4” SG | Western Albemarle   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Seaborn-Sam-EPL.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Seaborn-Sam-EPL.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2967162" /></a></figure>   Seaborn has been a huge part of Western Albemarle's success over the past few seasons, helping lead them to multiple state tournament appearances and showing he's one of the best wings in the Charlottesville area in doing so. The 6'4” wing has good size and long arms for his position that will translate to the next level, he's a dead eye shooter from deep who doesn't need a ton of space to get his shot off, he gets to spots in the midrange and can handle in transition to get to the rim, and he's highly efficient as a scorer who can fill it up without needing a lot of plays ran for him.   #106) [player_tooltip player_id='2815299' first='Ashton' last='Cornett'] | 6'4” SG | Cave Spring   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageYlPznE.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageYlPznE.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2724496" /></a></figure>   Cornett is a very intriguing prospect who continues to improve and has become one of the best prospects in Roanoke, as he has a lot of upside with his blend of size, athleticism and overall skillset. The 6'4” off guard is a fluid athlete who can get where he needs to and gets into his shot off the bounce effortlessly, he can work off the ball and knock it down from deep, he's very good in transition, and he has a lot of upside on the defensive end too.   #117) [player_tooltip player_id='3571359' first='Kaden' last='Houseright'] | 6'4” SG | Gate City   Houseright had a breakout season for Gate City, as he's emerging as the next college prospect in a long line of them coming from Gate City. The 6'4” wing is an absolute sharpshooter from deep with good range and great form, he moves well off the ball to come off of screens and relocate and make shots on the move, and he can put it on the deck to walk guys down into his shot or attack defenders off the closeout and get to spots in the midrange too.   #121) [player_tooltip player_id='3571362' first='Mason' last='McWhorter'] | 6'2” SG | Wilson Memorial   McWhorter was one of the best players in the Staunton area, as he was named First Team All State after averaging over 19 points per game and leading them to an undefeated regular season. The 6'2” wing is a do-it-all player who can impact the game across the board and on both ends of the floor, he scores it from all three levels efficiently and can work both on and off the ball, he is a good rebounder who can start the break and make plays for others or get to the rim, and he is a ball hawk defensively who can turn defense into offense easily.   #122) Londen Horne | 6'3” SG | Central-Wise   Horne had a fantastic season for Central-Wise, earning First Team All Region and Second Team All State honors and put up big numbers throughout the year, including a 37 point game in the playoffs. The 6'3” guard can flat out fill it up whether it's working off the ball to come off screens and knock down shots from deep, he can handle it and break down defenders and get to the rim where he can finish through contact, and he has great footwork to get to his pull-up where he is money as well.   #126) [player_tooltip player_id='3569874' first='Ayden' last='Padgett'] | 6'3” SG | Liberty   Padgett was getting straight to it this season out in Bedford, emerging as one of the best players and prospects in the Lynchburg area and putting up huge numbers consistently. The 6'3” wing can give it to you in a lot of different ways as he has deep range off the catch and can rise up and shoot over close contests, he can get out in transition where he can play above the rim and he's good attacking the offensive glass, he can score it in the midrange with the pull-up, and he has a knack for big games and big shots when his team needs it the most.
