His team dominated their matchup on Friday, and he was one of the main reasons why, scoring a game high of 26 Points. He was efficient shooting the ball but didn’t force plays and did a very nice job of defending without fouling.

Newsome is due for a big jump at Wilson Prep in 2024-25 as he looks to take over a starting role. He’s an underrated athletic presence who’s also shown he can shoot the ball with efficiency on the perimeter when given opportunities. He’s a sizeable guard at 6-foot-3 for DII and DIII programs in the region to get on their radar given his activity level on the court.
