Wake Forest has ANOTHER Childress On The Way! Brandon Childress Ultimate Mix!

Staff — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 20:04:59 +0000

The apple didn't fall far from the tree when Brandon Childress decided where he wanted to play collegiate ball. The younger Childress wanted to follow his father's footsteps to Wake Forest and continue the body of work his father had left before him. Many remember Randolph's epic crossover in the ACC tournament along with his smooth three point stroke that helped the Demon Deacons in the late 90's. Brandon is a 6' point guard that finished his career under former Maryland Terp. Keith Gatlin at Wesleyan Christian Academy (NC). The DMV native is your prototypical point guard that gets his teammates involved and having a 3 pt. stroke like his father doesn't hurt either. Look for the younger Childress to come in under the guidance of Danny Manning and help the Demon Deacons from Day 1. Hopefully we'll be seeing that "Childress crossover" reenacted in the near future!

Battle for #HoopState Supremacy: NCISAA 3A State Championships

With the amount of talented teams in the #HoopState, it was no surprise that the gym was a madhouse during every night of the NCISAA 3A playoffs! There were so many great match-ups throughout the entire playoffs such as, (host school) Ravenscroft vs. Wesleyan Christian Academy. Another memorable match-up was High Point Christian against Greensboro Day School as they played for the 3rd time this season with both teams earning a win on a the opponents home court.

With all of the talented high major players, the University of Tennessee seemed to have hit the jackpot, as they had 4 committed players - Providence Day’s PF, Grant Williams; Wesleyan Christian’s G, Kwe Parker and SF, Jalen Johnson; and Christ School’s PF, John Fulkerson - in the NCISAA 3A playoffs. The intensity of the matchups showcased some of the reasons Tennessee heavily recruits in the HoopState. Of the four players, Power Foward’s Fulkerson and Williams definitely left their mark. Playing against High Point Christian, the 6’8 Fulkerson was able to catch a nasty left hand dunk over a defender and Williams helped lead his team to win the State Championship.

Michael Okauru, the 6'4 Point Guard of the host school, Ravenscroft (Raleigh, NC) also left his mark as he dominated for his team throughout the playoffs until coming up short against Providence Day. He played with heart and ultimately did not get to take home the champion title, but showed a laundry list of ways he would be a phenomenal addition to a high major D1 team. Up and comer 6'1 Point Guard, Devon Dodson of Providence Day School (Charlotte, NC) showed flashes of why he holds offers from UNC and Florida just to name a few. He has a high basketball IQ, reads the court and makes good decisions, along with speed and leadership. Another Point Guard that captured the crowd was High Point Christian's (High Point, NC) 5'9 Michal Seals. Although undersized, he possesses the heart and fearlessness that helped his team get to the 3A championship.

Although Greensboro Day School came up short in an exciting 1 point loss against High Point Christian, 2017 Forward JP Moorman and 2018 Guard William Dillard left it all on the court. Both are high quality players that always seem to make the right decisions on the court. Not forgetting 2018 6’5 W John Newman, who had one of the most exciting plays of the playoffs, a 2 handed dunk over a High Point Christian defender.

For the Providence Day / High Point Christian Academy championship game the crowd was arguably the largest it’s been since John Wall’s Word of God team played against Ryan Kelly’s Ravenscroft team. There was barely standing room as people piled in to see the rematch between Kentucky commit Edrice “BAM” Adebayo and Tennessee commit PF, Grant Williams, along with budding star PG, Devon Dotson. Ultimately, Providence Day School came away with the championship in a convincing victory. It was border line deafening in the gym as both school’s student sections and fans .were cheering on their respective teams. The crowd went absolutely berserk when Bam dunked on Williams for the And 1, in hopes that it would spark a comeback which never came to fruition for High Point Christian.

All in all it was a fast paced, high energy event that anyone could appreciate, regardless of if your team was winning or losing. Looking forward to seeing more from the NCISAA in 2017.

Bam Adebayo & Kwe Parker BATTLE in #HoopState 3: King of the 336!

There have been few battles on the court this basketball season that measure up to what we've seen in the 336 (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and other surrounding cities). When it came to competitive edge, great crowds and frantic student sections 3 schools immediately came to mind - High Point Christian Academy (HPCA); Wesleyan Christian Academy; and Greensboro Day School (GDS). Having lived up to the hype is only the tip of the iceberg whenever either of the schools battled one another.

High Point Christian -

The anticipation of senior Power Forward transfer Edrice “BAM” Adebayo was beyond measure and he’s proved to be worth every bit of the hype. The 6’10, #4 nationally ranked (ESPN), McDonald’s All-American, Jordan Brand Classic invitee, UK commit made sure to live up to his nickname as he battled against Wesleyan and GDS. Using his colossal frame BAM dominated in and around the paint, electrifying the crowd with monstrous dunks, rebounds and blocked shots. Along side BAM is the 5’9 speedster, Sr. Point Guard, Michal Seals who helped lead the charge for HPCA. Although small in stature, he used his quickness and wit to take advantage of the opportunities that his front court presented. There was no point in time during the “336” match-ups that Seals wasn’t present, making the right plays and doing what it takes to win. In addition, transfer Sr. Point Guard, Ty Graves was an offensive nightmare, especially since he added some muscle to his frame. The Boston College commit uses his lightening quickness and marksmen shooting to keep the defense in a state of confusion. With his ability to knock down shots from the outside he was able to take advantage of getting to the basket to convert easy 2 pointers. Then there’s the 6’5 Jr. Jalen Seegars. Arguably one of the most effective Wings in the state, because of his ability to affect the game in more ways than one. Although he may appear unorthodox, Seegars caused all kind of problems for the opposition as he used his college ready frame to finish at the basket and snatch boards.

Wesleyan Christian -

Over the years, Sr. Guard Kwe Parker has become synonymous with dunking. However, if you’ve been paying any attention to his senior campaign, you’ll notice that he’s transformed into more than just a highlight reel. The Univ. of Tennessee commit has evolved his game on both ends of the floor. In the 336 battles instead of just dunking he electrified the crowd with his defense - shutting down the passing lanes, run down & help side shot blocking, and air tight coverage on the ball. Parker also showed that he is more consistent with knocking down shots inside the perimeter - and yes, he still caught a lob or 2. His back-court running mate, Wake Forest Univ. commit, 6’0 PG Brandon Childress is always a threat. He’s definitely the floor general for his team and always seems to know the right time to strike. A lights out shooter, with handle, he caused all types of problems as the opposition didn’t know whether he was going to shoot it or beat them off the dribble and get to the basket. He also gets the crowd hyped with the level of energy and level of emotion that he plays with. Then there’s the recent addition of Jr., David Caraher. The 6’6 Small Forward is as smooth as they come. Caraher has a high arching silky jump shot, along with exceptional footwork that makes up for his lack of speed. Even going head up against BAM, there weren’t many answers on how to guard him.

Greensboro Day School -

Greensboro Day has become some what of powerhouse in North Carolina over the last few years. While they are well coached, they always keep kids on the team that just know how to play the game and leave it all on the court. One of those kids being Soph. William Dillard. The 6’1 Point Guard while only in his second year of high school plays like a seasoned veteran. Going up against WCA & HPCA, the main things that remained constant were his poise and leadership. His ability to knock down shots and ability to finish at the rim presented issues for anyone guarding him. Then there’s the 6’6 Jr. Small Forward, J.P. Moorman. With the buzz he created this past summer, it’s no surprise that he’s helped lead his school to victory against both of these top schools. At his size, he’s a more than able ball handler, crafty and a lights out shooter. Moorman also has a good basketball IQ so it’s not hard for him to find his way to the basket for an easy dunk to get his team going!
