NC State basketball signees guards Breon Pass from Reidsville (N.C.) High and Terquavion Smith from Farmville (N.C.) Central High started their seasons in January, after forward Ernest Ross from Santa Fe High in Alachua, Fla., began in December.

Here is an update on how the three are doing on the hardwood.

Reidsville is 4-1 after a 77-67 loss to Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley High on Jan. 12 and a 20-point win over Pilot Mountain (N.C.) East Surry High on Jan. 15. It added an 84-58 win at Durham (N.C.) School of the Arts on Tuesday evening.

Against Dudley, Pass made 11 of 15 shots from the field, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and went 9 of 10 from the line to finish with 28 points. He also had 13 rebounds, five assists and a blocked shot.

Versus East Surry, Pass connected on 12 of 15 shots, including 2 of 3 from beyond the arc, for 26 points. He also made all five of his free throws, grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out six assists, made two steals and had two blocks.

In the win in Durham, Pass was 12-for-16 shooting, including 1 of 2 on three-pointers, and went 6 of 7 at the free throw line for 31 points. He added 13 rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block.

For the season, Pass is producing video game numbers. He is averaging 34.4 points per game while shooting 79.0 percent from the field, 56.3 percent on threes and 89.7 percent at the line. He also is contributing 14.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 blocks.

Ross and Santa Fe improved to 10-4 on the season with a win at Live Oak (Fla.) Suwannee High.

Farmville Central did not play this past week but will be back in action when it hosts Kenly (N.C.) North Johnston High on Wednesday evening.

In his first two games, Smith was averaging 29.5 points, 6.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 1.0 blocks. He shot 24 of 45 from the field (53.3 percent) and was 4 of 18 on threes and 7 of 14 at the line.
