Roster Changes: Key Updates

As with any big sporting event, there are always a few changes in the lineup, and this year’s East-West All-Star Games are no different. The girls’ East team, which originally planned to compete with 11 players, has now seen a couple of adjustments. Sadly, Laynie Smith of Chapel Hill and Zamareya Jones of North Pitt will not be joining the team, leaving them with just 9 players for the big game.

On the flip side, the West girls team had one of their players, Dot Mills from Pisgah, withdraw. Luckily, they have seamlessly filled this gap with great talent by bringing in Kierstin Johnson from East Wilkes.

Boys’ Changes: East and West Teams Adjust

Turning to the boys’ teams, the East squad is set to compete with a smaller roster of just 8 players, as Ari Fulton of Westover and Paul McNeil Jr. of Richmond have also taken a step back, with no replacements made for their positions. It’s always tough to see key players back out, but the remaining players are ready to rise to the occasion.

In contrast, the West boys team has experienced a flurry of changes. Four players have dropped out, but fear not—the team has successfully replaced them all! Jerquarius Stanback of Asheboro has been substituted with Jonah Ridgill of Chatham Charter, while Santana Lynch from Lake Norman has made way for Dominic Payne of Trinity. Maurio Hanson of Chambers will be replaced by Jordan Lineberger from Hickory, and Richard Goods of Grimsley is stepping aside for Jeremiah Howard of Concord. It’s great to see the West team maintain its strength and talent!

Star Players Not in Attendance

While the roster changes may shake things up, fans might be disappointed to notice the absence of some standout players. Notably, Paul McNeil Jr., who made headlines last season by scoring a whopping 71 points in a single game for Richmond Senior, will be missed on the court. Additionally, Zamareya Jones was a finalist for the prestigious “Ms. Basketball” title, and her presence will also be a significant loss for the East team.

A Showcase of Talent Awaits

Despite these shifts, the East-West All-Star Games promise to be exciting! With a mix of talent from various high schools all over the region, there’s bound to be unforgettable moments and fierce competition. Both teams are eager to put on a show for the fans and leave their mark in this annual event.
