After a successful freshman year at T.W. Andrews, the 6’5 wing took his talents to Burlington Christian Academy where he reclassed to the 2030 class. Prior to his departure, he was the leading scorer for the Red Raiders. There wasn’t much of an adjustment period as Bryson began his career with five straight double figure games while helping lead the Red Raiders to a 4-1 start. A little bit of a wall in December but he finished strong, helping the Red Raiders to a 20-5 record, the most wins since 2016-2017.

Bryson is a powerful physical presence that is relentless in attacking the rim. Initiates contact and is more than capable of finishing through it possession after possession. No wasted dribbles or movements when the ball is in his hands, he makes quick decisions and can punish defenders with his blend of speed and power. Playing with Burlington Christian in live sessions, Bryson was able to play with the ball in his hands more and show off a little bit more playmaking as a point forward. A true mismatch nightmare with improving versatility, the addition of Bryson to the Royals raises both his and their ceiling.

The addition of Faulk-Warner will be an instant impact for this unit. At 6’6 he possesses a physical frame, that understands how to attack the basket and finish through contact downhill and will have the oppurtunity to play major minutes and be an all around force on both sides of the ball. Expect Faulk-Warner to contend to be one of the top freshman in the state.

After announcing his transfer to Burlington Christian and reclassification to 2030, it was great to see Faulk-Warner with his new team as they were able to pick up a big win over Charlotte Christian. Faulk-Warner did a great job providing contributions on the glass at both ends of the floor, using his strong frame to carve out space underneath. On the offensive end, he displayed some outside touch, the ability to finish through contact, and found a way to operate as a mismatch. As he gets more experience, the game will continue to slow down but it’s very clear that Faulk-Warner will be a name to monitor in this 2030 class for years to come.
