Kornegay returns for New Hanover High after missing much of the 2023-24 season due to injury. He produced 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per contest through 13 games before being sidelined.

One of the new additions to the New Hanover squad, he already seems to be fitting in well with the talented guards that return from last season. He runs the floor well and uses his combination of height and athleticism to make plays on both ends of the floor.
