Cannon looking for yet another exciting showing
Cannon will be back in action on the big stage with Phenom Hoops, as they certainly made some noise in a thriller at the Carmel Tip-Off. They certainly hope to be on the other end with a win, but Cannon made clear that they will be a team to watch with the weapons they have. 2024 Austin Swartz and 2025 Isaiah Henry lead a talented team, while others have been elevating their play. They should kick off the event in a big way on Friday afternoon.
1of1 Prep looking to bring the heat once again
1of1 Prep proved that they are here to stay when they came up just short against Combine Academy and they aren't backing down from anyone. That is why the matchup against Moravian Prep should be just as heated as the game was at the Carmel Tip-Off. A team loaded with talent of all levels and experience, 1of1 looks to put on an absolute show once again and prove themselves on the big stage.
Charlotte Country Day hoping to continue to build momentum
Charlotte Country Day is building something special under head coach David Carrier. This is a program that was able to gain valuable experience last year and improve, and now they are looking to take the next step as a program. And players like Dallas Gardner and Amare Bethel will be leading the charge, as the host school looks to bring a ton of energy and make a statement at the event.
Learning what teams are bringing to the table this season
Phenom Hoops will get a chance to watch two new teams this year in Virginia Episcopal from Virginia and Moravian Prep. Not having got a chance to view them yet this season, this will be our first viewing of what the rosters and teams will be looking like this season. First, it gives us a great chance to view a program from the state of Virginia and see what they have. Secondly, several names from Moravian Prep will be returning back to North Carolina, giving us an updated view of the talent.
United Faith wanting to show out on the big stage
United Faith certainly has some buzz surrounding the program heading into the season but why shouldn't they' They are coming off a special season last year and have the talent to make another run once again with players like Alex Bates, Lance Gill, Dylan Deluca, Isaiah Sutherland, Evan Morton, and others leading the way. But it won't be an easy task going up against the host school, Charlotte Country Day on Day 1.
