We have great pairs in the backcourt handling the ball, knocking down shots, and making plays for their teams. Let’s take a look at some of the entertaining backcourt duos in the state.
Peyton Harvey Peyton Harvey 5'8" | PG AC Reynolds | 2025 State NC & Julie Janus Julie Janus 5'7" | SG AC Reynolds | 2024 State NC – AC Reynolds
Julie Janus Julie Janus 5'7" | SG AC Reynolds | 2024 State NC is in her senior season continuing to lead with the same composure on the court as she always has. She can push the tempo and slow things down when needed, and she does an excellent job sliding around the perimeter to get the open look. Peyton Harvey Peyton Harvey 5'8" | PG AC Reynolds | 2025 State NC is constantly moving on the court handling the ball, finding open lanes for her shot, closing the trap on defense, and jumping into passing lanes. Both are three level scorers who can go up against anyone.
Kate Sears Kate Sears 5'9" | CG Watauga | 2025 State NC & Charlotte Torgerson Charlotte Torgerson 5'7" | CG Watauga | 2024 State NC – Watauga
This is another 2024 and 2025 duo coming from the western part of the state. Charlotte Torgerson Charlotte Torgerson 5'7" | CG Watauga | 2024 State NC has been showing off her range shooting the ball from deep, and she handles the rock well creating open looks for her teammates. Kate Sears Kate Sears 5'9" | CG Watauga | 2025 State NC has been showing her high IQ with her handles knowing how to create the space for herself, and she reads the floor well knowing how to get some points for her team pushing the tempo or setting up an offensive play. Both guards are willing to get inside for rebounds on both ends of the court.
McKenzie Graves McKenzie Graves 5'7" | CG North Raleigh Christian Academy | 2025 State NC & Khloe Moye Khloe Moye 5'7" | CG North Raleigh Christian Academy | 2026 State NC – North Raleigh Christian
McKenzie Graves McKenzie Graves 5'7" | CG North Raleigh Christian Academy | 2025 State NC and Khloe Moye Khloe Moye 5'7" | CG North Raleigh Christian Academy | 2026 State NC are both very hardworking guards who are constantly moving on offense to create plays. Graves is shifty bringing the ball up the court, and Moye knows how to slide into the openings to put up her shot. They find the perfect open lanes finishing at the rim with nice adjustments on both sides. They work together on defense, too, driving opponents to certain areas of the court setting up a trap.
Misa Garris Misa Garris 5'5" | CG Garringer | 2026 State NC & Kim’mya Kelly – Garinger
Misa Garris Misa Garris 5'5" | CG Garringer | 2026 State NC reads the floor well knowing when to make her move on defense to come up with the steal. She makes moves to get the defenders crash around her in order to get the nice dish to her teammates. Kim’mya Kelly (2027) attacks the basket well finishing at the rim and using her speed to score through contact on fast breaks. She’s explosive with her moves getting to the basket before her defenders can recover. Both guards can certainly pull up from deep to get three points or finish a three point play from the free throw line.
