We continued our first look at the classes of 2024 & 2025 earlier this month at the 2021 Pangos All-South Frosh/Soph Camp at The Fieldhouse in Duncanville TX. Camp-Director Dinos Trigonis once again brought in a talented group of young talent that featured players from 18 states among the roughly 240 players in attendance. It was definitely a camp that touched both coasts of the USA with attendees from as far away as Maryland and Virigina in the East to California and Washington in the West.
The Sunday action wrapped up the weekend with two all-star games that featured the camp’s top prospects. The Top 60 game opened the two “Cream of the Crop” games as the Black squad broke open the game early in the first half and never looked back in a 79-34 victory over the White squad behind Game MVP 6’3” 2025 Jared Nickens who finished with a game high 18 points. He received solid support from 6’6 2026 middle schooler Brayden Kyman who added 10 points and grabbed 7 boards, along with 6’3” 2024 Anthony Bates with 8 points and 6’2 2024 Christian Gilliland who added 6 points in the win. The White squad was led by 6’0 2024 Drew Ward with 7 points in the loss.
The final game of the weekend was the Cream of the Crop Top 30 game that saw the Black squad come back from a 9-point deficit in the first half to win a hard-fought defensive battle 54-51 over the White squad behind the inside play of game co-MVP’s 6’9 2024 Israel Nansha and his brother 6’8 2025 Jed Nansha! They were stellar controlling the paint defensively and getting key possessions off the glass that allowed the Black squad to hold on down the stretch! Offensively the Black was led by 6’3 2024 Jayden Gambrell with 10 points, while Israel Nansha, 6’5 2025 Hudson Greer, and 6’0 2024 Dontrell Barrett added 6 points each. The White squad was led by overall Camp MOP 6’8 2025 Parker Jefferson with a game high 12 points to cap off a great weekend for this talented young big! He got solid support from 6-5 bookend forwards 2024 Jakeel Registe with 8 points and 2025 Jai’Chaunn Hayes who added 7 points in the tough loss.
The camp started with a competitive tone, especially on the defensive end, that lasted right through the “Cream of the Crop” games, as the camp established its depth and strength in a large number of bigs and athletic wings that rose to the top over the weekend! Over one hundred players received votes for the two all-star games and left us with a feeling that the South will continue to be a strong region that delivers overall depth to the Classes of 2024 and 2025! So with that in mind, let’s take a look at the top talent at the 2021 Pangos All-West Frosh/Soph Camp in Duncanville TX:

He is rated among top five nationally as he was Duncanville finishing the week with 5 points in the Top 30 game. Make no mistake, he is an elite high major priority at this point!
