Preview of Wednesday's John Wall Holiday Invitational

The John Wall Holiday Invitational kicks off Wednesday with a full slate of games at Raleigh Broughton High and the girls at William Peace College.

Here is a preview of the action.

Southern Durham junior wing Jackson Keith will have a key matchup against The Burlington School freshman standout King Gibson and future Mount Saint Mary's point guard Zion Walker.

NC State has offered Keith, who Rivals.com ranks No. 53 overall in the class of 2025, and Gibson is among the top freshman in the country.

Reclassed junior point guard Chance Mallory of Charlottesville (Va.) St. Anne’s Belfield is a quality outside shooter and decision maker, who is ranked No. 87 in the class of 2025.

Moravian Prep will be bombing in three-pointers with junior point guard Eli Ellis, who verbally committed to South Carolina, and his sophomore brother Isaac Ellis. Rivals.com ranks Eli Ellis at No. 82 overall in the class of 2025.

Junior big man target Zymicah Wilkins and Arden Christ School will face Kentucky-bound senior center Jayden Quaintance and Raleigh Word of God. The 6-8, 227-pound Wilkins is ranked No. 90 overall in the class of 2025, and Quaintance, who is set to graduate in three years, is ranked No. 11 in the class of 2024.

Christ School, who won the NCISAA 4A state title last year, also has future George Mason wing Bryson Cokley, who originally committed to Wake Forest.

Charlotte Myers Park junior power forward Sadiq White will be a top attraction for college coaches, including NC State, who offered him last year. The 6-foot-8 White is ranked No. 36 overall in the class of 2025.

Myers Park also has Tennessee point guard signee Bishop Boswell and Notre Dame-bound guard Sir Mohammed. Myers Park has played one of the most difficult schedules in recent public school history and are the NCHSAA 4A state champions.

The 6-7, 200-pound Ament is ranked No. 17 overall in the class of 2025, and Langdon is ranked No. 128 nationally.

Miami signee Austin Swartz of Concord Cannon School, and junior wing Isaiah Henry lead the way. Swartz is a smooth shot-maker with deep range, who is ranked No. 45 in the class of 2024, and Henry does a little bit of everything and is a rugged player, and ranked at No. 140 in the class of 2025.
