Buford's AJ Davis "still getting back in the swing of things"

Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, VA) has owned the state of Georgia this year as the boys team has dominated Peach State competition for a 3-0 record. Back in October, the Warriors beat Covenant Christian 91-54 before thumping Harrison 102-69 in November. Last month Oak Hill survived Miller Grove 82-78 in Atlanta. The Wesleyan girls however exacted a measure of revenge, taking out the Oak Hill girls squad 60-50 and handing the Warriors their second loss of the season. Score 44 standout Holli Wilkins had 14 points and six rebounds while Brittany Stevens tossed in 12 points and dished out six assists. Wesleyan is ranked No. 1 in Class A. ...

A.J. Davis won a state title last season with the Spartans of Greater Atlanta Christian. In the title game, Davis and company defeated Buford; however, Davis left GAC and now plays for the Buford Wolves though he was just recently declared eligible by the GHSA. In his first action, Davis scored just three points in a loss to his former team. He did snare seven rebounds, block two shots and pick off two steals. Shun Williams of On The Radar Hoops was at Buford’s game against Whitefield Academy (16 points for Davis) and told Score Atlanta that Davis, “played okay, still getting back in the swing of things.” Davis was a force as a second option last season with Malcolm Brogdon. He will be counted on to help T.J. Shipes out at Buford. ...

North Gwinnett traveled to the House of Blue last night for a doubleheader of games that had folks across Region 7-AAAAA no doubt intrigued. Chris Bolden played well against his former team, helping his new one prevail 67-54. Bolden was in foul trouble most of the night but still contributed nine points and seven rebounds. A.J. Clements and Kwesi Abakah combined for 36 points. In the girls game, Diamond DeShields battled through an injured hand to help Norcross snap North Gwinnett’s 12-game winning streak with a 48-37 victory.
