BTW Winter Classic

Going to be a show! Be there!

January 10, 2026 You know where to be! 😎

We’re officially underway here at Washington HS (NC) for the @BTWinterClassic. Southern Wake & First Flight currently battling it out.

Southern Wake leads at the break 38 to 22 over First Flight. Southern Wake turned up the defensive pressure in the 2nd quarter. 2nd half coming up. @BTWinterClassic

Game two of today’s @BTWinterClassic matchups Northeastern vs Goldsboro is underway. #BTWinterClassic

@BTWinterClassic @SWA_MBB @firstflighthoop Southern Wake defeats First Flight in the first game of the day. Excellent team effort from top to bottom on both ends of the floor. Southern Wake will have something to say in 1A East.

@BTWinterClassic 21-20 Goldsboro up vs. Northeastern ending the 1st Qrt. 6’8 2025 F @eleck_sutton has made his presence known in the contest, expect him to have a few high octane finishes on the rim. Goldsboro connecting on north of four 3’s made in the first, shooting the ball well!

@BTWinterClassic Goldsboro has come out with a ton of energy in the 2nd game. They lead 38 to 33 over Northeastern at the half.

@BTWinterClassic 59-50 Northeastern up on Goldsboro w/ 4 mins to go in the contest. NE has made a run in the last minute or so to really get a nice 3-4 possession lead. 2027 PG Jakeel Stalling & 2025 G Unique Blount of NE making necessary reads down the stretch! #BTWinterClassic

@BTWinterClassic Goldsboro ties it up at 61-61 with a minute to go. 6’4 2026 Wing @Modallas_15 w/ a really smooth go ahead 3, followed up by a forced live ball turnover converted to a transition basket. #BTWinterClassic

@BTWinterClassic 252 takes game two of @BTWinterClassic w/ Northeastern’s 63-61 victory over Goldsboro. Expect NE to make some noise in the 2A East side of states later in the year. 6’8 2025 F @eleck_sutton is certainly one worth looking into for D2+ schools w/ interest in athletic Forwards.

@BTWinterClassic @eleck_sutton Area Code tie-breaking game about to get underway here with @MbbRaleigh vs J.H. Rose HS in contest three of @BTWinterClassic.

@BTWinterClassic Northeastern comes back and wins it on a putback layup with 1 second remaining. 2A East team has great size and depth on the frontline with strong guard play.

@BTWinterClassic @eleck_sutton @MbbRaleigh 14-10 SE Raleigh over JH Rose w/ 1:25Mins to go in the 1st Qrt. JH Rose really exploiting a 5 out offense with paint touch intentions. Smaller team. SE Raleigh converting turnovers into transition baskets & also making a few long balls. Looking to be a really good one here!

@BTWinterClassic 20-16 @MbbRaleigh over JH Rose to end the 1st Qrt. SE had an opportunity to go into the 2nd with a 7 point lead, but unfortunately commits the cardinal sin of basketball and fouls a JH Rose player on an end of clock heave. 3 Freethrows were converted. #BTWinterClassic

@BTWinterClassic @MbbRaleigh JH Rose out of Greenville, NC has 2 2025 Guards whom I can already tell are the reason of the current 5 game winning streak. 5’8 Justin Grimes & 6” Torrey “TJ” Brown Both exploiting SE’s defense on their downhill paint touch drives. 23-20 JH Rose over SE w/ 2:40 to go 2nd Qrt.

@BTWinterClassic JH Rose leads at the Half, 27-25. A great scheduling showcase w/tight matchup. Interested to see if SE can exploit the size difference, as well as if Rose continues to get the paint touches. Scoring Leaders: ‘25 G Torrey “TJ” Brown - 10 ‘28 G/W Travis Cooper (SE) - 7

@BTWinterClassic J.H. Rose has a narrow lead going into halftime of their matchup with SE Raleigh.

@BTWinterClassic 7 Straight points from 6’6 2025 W Christian Ananaba of @MbbRaleigh early here in the 3rd, puts SE up 34-30 with 4:20 to go. Look for Christian to be a bit more aggressive the rest of the way. #BTWinterClassic

@BTWinterClassic JH Rose’s two senior guards continuing their play from the 1st half, getting everything they want in down hill isolations on SE’s switches. 38-36 JH Rose 1:10 to go in the 3rd. #BTWinterClassic

@BTWinterClassic 5’8 2025 G Justin Grimes is carving Southeast Raleigh up. 46-39 w/ 6 mins to go in the 4th. #BTWinterClassic
