read moreRankings Report Pre-Season Preview: Conference 53
There is no clear cut favorite in my opinion for this conference. AC Reynolds and Enka could go either way. AC Reynolds brings back almost their entire team with star sophomore Rakease Passmore. Enka also returns their starting 5 and entire bench. Guys like Ian Clinkscales-King, Jacob Tiller, and Chase Boswell will be a hard trio to stop. TC Roberson will be underdogs to watch out for as they bring back a bunch of seniors who will have to make a big step. Teams like North Buncombe, McDowell, and Erwin will look to make names for themself in this deep conference. Very excited to see how this conference turns out.

read moreRankings Report Pre-Season Preview: Conference 45
With this conference, there can be multiple changes between the ranks. A lot of teams that can pull off upsets. This should be a closely contested conference. With every team trying to take the top spot. West Caldwell is coming off a solid season. They bring back their two leading scorers in Malek Patterson & JaKobe Hood. Next, we have Maiden who has a great duo in Dru McClough and Chris Culliver. Teams like Newton-Conover, Bunker Hill, West Lincoln, and East Burke can all be underdogs to watch out for. Should be a very interesting and balanced conference to keep an eye on.
read moreRankings Report Pre-Season Preview: Conference 41
The new conference 41 should be one of the most exciting conferences in NC! With 2A state runner ups Hendersonville looking to make another run at the title. R-S Central is another one to keep an eye as they went 13-2 last season. They are keeping almost there entire starting 5 from last year with the addition of 6’7” Freshman Mikey Wilkins. Teams like Patton and Chase are adding big pieces like Brayden Crump and Addison Archer along with others to compete for the top spots. Should be a very exciting and fun conference to keep up with this season.
read moreRankings Report Pre-Season Preview: Conference 42
This should be an intriguing conference. But I think Draughn and Mountain Heritage are the clear cut favorites for the top of the conference. I believe Daylin Pritchard can have a breakout season becoming the player of the year. I like the size of Mountain Heritage and the chemistry they have formed together over the years. Teams like Madison, Mitchell, Avery and Owen have some great talent and could surprise some of the other teams.

There is some great talent in this conference and I believe there will be a lot of new names that will make some noise for years to come. I am looking forward to seeing how this new conference unfolds.

2021 6’7 Earl Burgess (Team 864) is long, strong and tough enough to impact the game on both ends inside, yet skilled enough to make the right plays as a wing with his timely and smart decisions. Consistent shooter and rebounder, who finishes inside with finesse or authority. 2021 6’6 Ben Burnham (Team CLT) is so highly skilled, with big energy and must have a basketball radar because he’s...
