Thank you Duke 💙💙

[Albert Moore @AMooreCoach]

Yesterday I was asked what was my favorite level to coach. Hands down middle school. Those are the most formative years for me.

Even when I volunteered for Junior Achievement they asked about placement.

Me: “I want an inner-city middle school.”
They: “We don’t get that request often. Take your pick!”

I’m busy. Therefore, I always want to be IMPACTFUL!!

SCHOLAR-Athlete of the Month & All-American First 10 Watch List- January edition

Men’s Scholar-Athlete Of The Month! JANUARY

The NCHBC is excited to recognize NW Indy Warriors TAYLOR SMITH as our January 2024 Scholar-Athlete for the month!

Taylor has a 4.14 GPA and has over 35 hours of volunteer work! This includes serving as 10u boys interim head coach while his program searched for a permanent replacement. This is a big deal because it required Board level approval, which demonstrates his service mentality while he takes 10 classes during his Junior season. Several of those are considered advanced courses!

Please join us in congratulating Northwest Warriors Taylor Smith on being the January 2024 NCHBC Men’s Scholar-Athlete of the Month!

Women’s Scholar-Athlete Of The Month! JANUARY

On the women’s side, the NCHBC is excited to recognize Salt & Light Eagles Mikaela Curtis as our January 2024 Scholar-Athlete of the month!

Mikaela has absolutely crushed her academics! She is maintaining a 4.56 GPA and received recognition from Duke & Northwestern Universities for her outstanding SAT/ACT scores, 1500 & 33 respectively, as part of their gifted and talented programs. She is also recognized as AP Scholar with Distinction and National African American Scholar by the College Board for Advanced Placement/AP Exam results. Mikaela is a volunteer teaching assistant for her co-op and director of volunteer peer tutoring program for over 200 hundred students! She is also a member of her church worship team. Mikaela had multiple colleges, but just announced her commitment to Wheaton University (NCAA DIII) to play basketball on a full-ride academic scholarship!

Please join us in congratulating Mikaela Curtis on being the NCHBC women’s Scholar-Athlete of the Month!

18u Girls – First 10, January additions -

Kayla McGarity – San Marcos Panthers (Class of 2024): The returning All-American for the defending Undisputed champions is averaging a strong 13p/10r per game. She is currently ranked 14th in Texas for double-doubles and had a dominant 24p/16r against 4A La Vernia. Kayla will look to help her team repeat at the Big South and Nationals!

Lillian Mindeman – Southern MO RUSH (Class of 2024): Lillian will be joining her teammate, Hannah Gibbons, at John Brown University in 2025. She is ranked in the Missouri top 25 for 3pt and FG made. The returning All-American will aim to help her #11th ranked team make some big-time noise with her elite ball-handling and terrific shooting. Interviewed on NCHC YouTube Podcast-

Pearson McVay – Aggieland Panthers (Class of 2024): Pearson is dominating the competition this season. She is averaging 16p/11r per game and has 20 games with a double-double! Including a TRIPLE-DOUBLE (23p/20r/10s) game against the Austin Royals. Pearson has over 13 offers to play at the next level!

Chloe Kern – Aggieland Panthers (Class of 2026): This 3pt shooting machine is lighting it up from the outside this season with 98 3pt field goals made while averaging 19 points per game. She has been All-Tournament selection in 3 different tournaments (2 public school & 1 homeschool) and looks to repeat as All-District & All-American selection in 2024.

Audrey Barth – THESA Riders (Class of 2026): Shooting a scorching 56% from the field while averaging 17ppg! The returning All-District & All-American player has over 10 games with 20 points this season. Her best outing came against last year’s Final Four contender, Dallas Thunder, where Audrey scored 30 points and had 6 three’s! She was selected to the All-Tournament team at the All Saints Holiday Classic tournament!

Also Considered: Avery Mier (CHSM), Chloe Eversole (Dallas Thunder), Yasmine Aly (FBCHA), Mikaela Curtis (Salt & Light), Jocie Boyd (RUSH)

18u Boys – First 10! January additions.

Robert Dawkins – MHEA Eagles (Class of 2024): The 6’5” senior gives MHEA the NCHBC version of the “Big Three”. He has scored over 1200 points in his career, averages a double-double, was all-tournament selection at STL Tip-Off, and MVP of the Memphis Hoopfest. He gives MHEA a 3-headed monster as they look to become the first ever 4-peat homeschool team in NCHBC history!

Kevin Johnson – KC East Lions (Class of 2025): The 6’7” post is a beast on the boards! He has 7 games with 17 or more rebounds, and 4 games for 20+! He is #1 in Missouri and #2 in the nation with double-doubles. While there have not been formal NCHBC stats on rebounding, it is safe to say that if the KC Hoops Player To Watch continues to rebound at this pace, then he can easily be considered one of the best ever on the boards for postseason NCHBC events.

Jacob May – Houston Homeschool Raiders (Class of 2025): Jacob is playing the 2024 season like a man on a mission. The 6’1” guard is #56 in his class and averages 17p/7r/6a/3s per game. All while competing against some of the best private school competition in the Houston area. The returning All-American recently scored 23 points against the 2025 #1 player in Houston! Interviewed on NCHC YouTube Podcast-

Tanner Rizan – CHEF Patriots (Class of 2024): The lefty shooter is lighting up scoreboards throughout Louisiana. He is #1 in the state for 3pt made and FG made, and he is #3 in scoring. He is the returning ACEL MVP and scored 1,000 points in just 2 seasons. Most recently, he dropped 47 points in the Silver Championship game at Space City Jam. He also picked up his first offer to play college ball!

Elias Strasser – Cincinnati Trailblazers (Class of 2024): The 6’2” guard recently joined the 1,000 point club! He is averaging 16p/6r per game and was selected 1st-Team & MVP of the Bettis Classic over the New Year’s weekend. Final game stat line: 32 points and 11 rebounds! He has 1 offer to play at the next level from Saint Vincent and continues to draw additional interest!
