Wake Hoops Postseason Awards
Player of the Year Collin Kuhl – Senior – Holly Springs Kuhl ran away with this award after leading Holly Springs to the regional final and averaging 20.1p, 11.3r, 1.8a, and 1.3s while shooting 70%(!!!) from the field.

Wake Hoops: NAC Postseason Awards
Player of the Year Colt Langdon – Sophomore – Millbrook The general public saw this coming since Millbrook played their last 2021-22 season game. Langdon averaged 19.5p, 4.5r, 1.1a, 1s, and 1.3b per game in conference play with shooting splits of 50/47/74. Being 6’8” and shooting 47% from three on over four attempts per game is absolutely absurd and it’s a big reason why Langdon is...
