TIP-OFF. The 2020-21 Charlotte-area high school basketball preview
Boys Teams To Watch
Cannon School: The defending 4A state champions lost their best player in all-state point guard Jaden Bradley, who transferred to IMG Academy.
But the Cougars have plenty of firepower back with four starters returning, led by 6-foot-7 junior forward, D.J. Nix (19 ppg) and 6-5 senior shooting guard Jarvis Moss (18 ppg).
Coach Che Roth will also benefit from the return of 6-8 senior, Elijah Ormiston (10.5 ppg, 11.5 rpg) and 7-foot junior center Christian Reeves, who missed a lot of last season with injury.
Carmel Christian: The Cougars have averaged 24 wins per season over the last five years. Hoping to reach a third state final in four years are senior forward Ben Burham (15 ppg, Winthrop commit) and 6-3 guard Justin Taylor along with Piedmont transfer 6-7 junior Cade Tyson (23 ppg).
Charlotte Christian: Charlotte Christian was 16-13 last season, but sophomore guards Bryce Cash (11 ppg, 5 rpg) and Tyrone Hardy (7 ppg, 3 apg) will be among experienced returnees.
Combine Academy: The Goats went 26-7 last year in the first season under the direction of former North Carolina standout and NBA player, Jeff McInnis. This year, Combine Academy has another roster loaded with talent starting with 6-1 sophomore point guard Robert Dillingham, a consensus top 10 recruit in the class of 2023. McInnis also has tlanets like 6-5 all-state wing A.J. Smith (Hickory Grove transfer), 6-1 Vance transfer Jaylen Curry and 7-foot center Patrick Wessler (Butler transfer).
Concord Academy: The Eagles return two starters from a team that won 35 games on their way to the NCISAA 3A state title. All-state shooting guard Trae Benham (19 ppg) and Javian Cannady (6 ppg), join South transfer, junior Logan Threatt (21 ppg) in the backcourt. Meanwhile, 6-6 senior forward Tyler Fearne (5 ppg), 6-6 Hickory Ridge transfer Tucker Johnson, and 6-10 sophomore Nikoa Mircic bring size.
Davidson Day: The defending NCISAA 2A state champions lost all five starters. Senior Blane St. Clair (Army commit/Moravian Prep transfer) and junior Donovan Atwell (Lake Norman Charter transfer) join last year’s sixth man, Nyles Howard, and promising sophomore Trey Horton to try to contend for a repeat state title.
Lake Norman Christian: A new team on the stage, the Storm features California transfer Mikey Williams, a top 5 national recruit in the class of 2023. Center Jonthan Kurtas, a 7-footer who played at SouthLake Christian, and 6-7 Hickory Ridge transfer Shane Fernald add size. Other notable transfers are former Vance guard Trey Green and 6-8 forward Joyful Hawkins, who played in Georgia last season.
Northside Christian: The Knights have won 64 games in the last three years, including a 24-victory campaign a season ago. Senior Glynn Hubbard (22 ppg) and Wesley Tubbs, III (7 ppg, 5 rpg) return along with Rocky River transfer, junior guard, Calik “Duke” Thomas (19 ppg).
United Faith: The Falcons were up and down last year, finishing 15-13 overall. But United Faith should be much improved this season led by senior guard, L.J. Johnson (7 ppg), 6-10 center Quinton Scheuermann (5 ppg, 5 rpg) and two transfers: Xavier McKelvy (Myers Park, 15.6 ppg) and Marcus Willis (Porter Ridge, 20 ppg).
Victory Christian: The Kings have an experienced team returning with the senior trio of Demar Anderson (9 ppg), Caleb Coleman (7 ppg) and Tyreke Thompson (8 ppg) back to lead a team that won 23 games last year. The Kings also brought in a wealth of talent in transfers like 6-7 forward, Randi Ovalle (California) and twin brothers Tajuan and Takai Simpkins (New York).
Westminster Catawba: Second-year coach Ed Addie led the school to its first 20-win season. Four starters return, including 6-5 freshman Jahseem Felton, a top 5 national recruit. Three other Westminster players have Division I offers besides Felton (Kansas, Florida, Wake Forest, Ole Miss): 6-4 junior MJ Collins (Presbyterian, App State), 6-7 freshman Nick Hamrick (Howard) and 6-9 senior AJ Hamrick (signed with Charleston Southern).
Girls Teams To Watch
Cannon School: The Cougars ha four wins in the 2017-18 season and improved to 17 last season. All five starters return, led by Georgia signee and all-state guard Reigan Richardson (23 ppg, 8 rpg).
Concord Academy: The Eagles return four starters returning from a team that won 27 games, losing a 35-32 heartbreaker to Asheville Christian in the NCISAA 3A state championship game. Seniors Zykiah Benjamin (10.3 ppg), Kaylan Daniels (7 ppg) and Jael Hall (14.3 ppg) all hope to get back to the final game.
Davidson Day: The defending 2A state champions have three starters back, led by all-state Mallorie Haines (26 ppg, Davidson College commit). Senior guard Jessie Wiles (11 ppg), junior forward Hannah Higbea (5 rpg) and two transfers -- 5-9 sophomore guard Ashley Fowler (Mallard Creek) and 5-10 forward Juliana Park (Lake Braddock (VA) transfer -- will contribute.
Gaston Day: The Spartans return four starters -- including all-state Zaria Clark (19 ppg, 7 rpg, 6 apg, 5 spg, UNC Pembroke commit) -- from a team that won 19 games, losing in the NCISAA 2A state semifinals to eventual state champion Davidson Day.
Providence Day: The 17-time state champs return one starter: 5-11 guard Chandler Brooks. The Chargers will need senior El Ferguson (6 ppg) and sophomore Jordyn Latter (6 ppg) to step up into bigger roles.
Victory Christian: The defending NCISAA 1A state champions will have to reload a bit with only two starters returning: junior Bethel Ekperigha and sophomore center Zion Duncan The Kings have averaged 22 win over the last three years.
Boys Players To Watch
Donovan Atwell/Blane St. Clair, Davidson Day: The 6-5 sharpshooters will have an immediate impact on a Patriots’ team that lost all five starters. St. Clair is already an Army commit, and Atwell is also a Division I recruit.
Trae Benham, Concord Academy: The Lipscomb University commit (19 ppg, 5 rpg) is back to lead the defending, NCISAA 2A state champions.
Chris Britt, Gaston Day: The 5-9 junior guard can light up a scoreboard (20 ppg) for a Spartans’ team that returns all five starters.

Graham Calton, Charlotte Latin: 6-5 senior guard (17.5 ppg, 6.4 rpg) will play an even bigger role in a Hawks’ backcourt with junior Daniel Haughton and senior,Chase Montgomery, leading a young team that graduated all-state star Randy Johnson..
Bryce Cash, Charlotte Christian: The 6-3 sophomore guard (11 ppg) showed his potential as a freshman, now moves into a lead role.
Robert Dillingham, Combine Academy: 6-1 sophomore guard is a rop 10 national recruit, who already has a Kansas offer
Jahseem Felton, Westminster Catawba: 6-5 freshman guard (14 ppg, 5 rpg, 5 apg) is a top 5 national recruit with offers from schools like Florida and Kansas.
