The second consecutive weekend of the June Live period was down in Concord, North Carolina this weekend, Cannon School was the site and they welcomed this talented field of teams into a highly competitive atmosphere.
Concord, North Carolina– Saturday I was locked in on the action at Cannon school covering the second weekend of the NCISAA Summer Showcase, the day started off with an offensive explosion and the action didn’t disappoint after that. There are several story lines to reflect on, a number of teams and players really impressed on the day.
The Hoop State’s top returning scorer is picking right back up where he left off.
6’1 2021 Brock Williams started the day with 37 points against Greensboro Day School, he repeatedly carved up defenses and attacked the cup at will, no one could stay in front of Williams, you won’t find many guards quicker with the basketball. Williams first step is devastating, he’s explosive enough to beat the help and extend at the rim, Williams is stronger than he looks, he absorbs contact at 6’1 and initiates it at the cup.
There were a number of coaches present for the early morning performance, one notable name was Kevin Keatts of NC State. Williams can switch directions and speeds on a dime, in space Williams is at his best with the basketball making decisions. Through three games Williams averaged 29.3 points per game, he shot a high percentage in the lane and around the basket. Williams is steadily improving the long ball, he showed good feel working teammates into their spots, and rebounding is an underrated quality to his game.
6’6 2021 Bryce Harris is about to blow up at Greensboro Day School, by way of NYC- Harris is going to bring toughness he’s got that dog in him. Harris gets after it on both ends, he’s athletic but also skilled offensively, Harris can take his man off the dribble, he showed a strong post game throughout the day, and Harris can step out and knock the three ball down.
Harris showed the entire arsenal against Burlington Christian, Harris finished with a crucial 17 points. Harris has above average length, he’s active on the glass and gets crucial second chance point opportunities. Harris can guard the one through five at this stage, it won’t take long for him to become a household name around the Triad hoops scene.
Metrolina Christian came to compete
Metrolina gave a hard fought effort in an eight point loss to Greensboro Day, and an impressive win over FCDS. Overall this group is well coached, and they play well together on both ends.
