remains in the #7 slot after putting together a very solid season for The Meadows School Mustangs. He was a versatile piece for them on both ends of the court and had a lot to do with their 24-6 regular season record, along with their 3A State Championship run. On offense, he gets out in transition, drains jumpers, and is expanding his range to three-point territory. On defense, Nwapa is one to swat shots and will use his vertical to high-point rebounds. He will also be in Knicks threads this spring/summer.

gave the Fernley Vaqueros real issues with his size and scoring ability. He got to his spots and used his lift and high release point to shoot right over defenders. He also as mentioned above, put an exclamation point on the championship win when he got out ahead in the open court in the closing seconds and threw down a monster dunk. A fitting ending to the Mustangs’ season. Nwapa finished with a team-high 18 points.

recently joined the 1,000-point club at The Meadows School, a milestone that reflects both the season he’s putting together and his consistent production over time. He currently ranks fifth in Nevada in scoring at 23.2 PPG, with much of his offense coming at or near the rim. Nwapa isn’t shy about tapping into his high-flying ability either, regularly finishing above the rim when given a lane or a lob. That same bounce translates defensively, where he can block or alter shots and leverage his wingspan to make plays. Along with his individual success, Nwapa has helped power a strong year for the Mustangs, who sit at 16–5 overall and 9–0 in league play.
