Newman has had such a special season at Gaston Christian and is simply about as battle tested as it comes in regards to High School point guards. Newman has been playing varsity ball since he was in the 7th grade and it’s all culminated into what has become a memorable season for him and his team in so many ways. Newman’s blend of scoring, playmaking, and defensive impact make him the total package for this group as he makes them go at both ends of the floor. Newman’s improved efficiency from the outside has been something really notable as well as he’s hitting 37% from beyond the arc on over 7 attempts per game. The ability to control a game with his eyes and dribble make Newman a next level ready PG that can impact winning with his blend of scoring and playmaking. Gaston Christian is heading across the 704 to battle it out Vs Concord Academy for a berth in the NCISAA 3A title game in what should be an instant classic!

Newman has been a dark horse for Gatorade Player of the Year this season in North Carolina and I think the bright lights of the playoff will be the perfect showcase for him to show everyone the superstar that he’s become for Gaston Christian. With a 24-6 record, they’re a real threat for the NCISAA 3A title and Newman is flat out leading the charge. Newman is averaging 18.1 Points, 4.9 Rebounds, 4.6 Assists, and 3.0 Steals per game. All while shooting with 44/37/76 splits. He can completely manipulate the defense with his dribble live because of how he uses angles to create lanes for his own drives or passes for teammates. I think it’s pretty clear that he’s a division one level kid and should see more schools come in late as their respective seasons wind to a close. A monster state championship run for Newman and Gaston Christian would certainly help that.
