Greensboro Day (31-3)-Key Players
6-1 PG Jordan Perkins ’17, has committed to play at North Carolina Central University in 2017 for Coach LeVelle Moton. Jordan has continued to improve his play showing his skills this summer on the Under Armor Circuit playing for Team Felton alongside UNC-commit Jalek Felton. Despite being deep at the point guard position on Team Felton, Jordan showcased his ball handling skills, play making ability and his ability to knock down big shots from beyond the 3-point arc. Jordan is ranked the #27 by PrepHoops.
Point-Forward, 6-7 JP Moorman’s ’17, stock has continually risen over the last year. He received 25+ offers and has signed his letter of intent to Temple University. His versatility and play making ability will allow him to lead this deep Bengals squad this year. He will create many mismatches depending on where is playing on the court. JP helped Team CP3 win The Eight in Las Vegas this summer. JP is rated as the #3 by PrepHoops.

(Photo by Jon Lopez)6-6 SG, John Newman ’18, who attended the Nike Elite 100 camp in June, had a great summer and his stock continues to rise. He gives teammate, Will Dillard, a tough run for his money as best-defender in the state as he boasts an impressive wing-span. He has offers from Wake Forest, Clemson, Boston College, UNC-Charlotte, James Madison (where his father played), Providence, Cincinnati and Old Dominion. John is ranked by PrepHoops as the #5 player in the state.
Cannon School (20-11)-Key Players
Cannon School has one of the top players in the state with 6-foot-8 Jairus Hamilton who has nearly 20-plus Division One offers including North Carolina, California, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and many others. Cannon School finished 5-5 in the conference and 18-12 last season but has added 6-foot-5 Qon Murphy from Hough High School where he was an all-conference selection. Cannon School also features Phillip McKenzie, a 6-foot-5 wing who can defend four positions on the floor. He has a offer from Houston Baptist. Covenant Day transfer senior point guard Percy Johnson, who played with Team Charlotte this summer has a offer from Pfiefer.
Providence Day School (23-10)-Key Players
Devon Dotson is ranked second, Trey Wertz is ranked sixth and Isaac Suffren is ranked in the top 25. Dotson has offers from North Carolina, Kansas, Florida State, Memphis, Florida, Clemson, Georgia and NC State among others. He spent the summer playing with Team Charlotte on the Under Armour circuit and participated in the Elite 24. Devon, Trey, and Isaac will give Providence Day one of the top back courts around. They will lack size, which is something Providence Day School has had in past years, but graduation hurt them in that regard. They have added Jacolbe Cowan and Muhsin Muhammad III, both top players in the NC 2020 class, and Luke Stankavage, who will be out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
