September 5, 2018
Last week PBR of North Carolina released the updated class of 2020 rankings for the state. The rankings were updated and expanded to the Top 125 players from across North Carolina. PBR’s staff spent countless hours at games, workouts, practices, and PBR events to continue to expand its coverage of the state and the 2020 class. Along with the state rankings, the Overall 2020 Rankings were released last week, expanded to the Top 500 with a heavy influence of NC players.
During each season, PBR is working to identify the top players in the state as part of its “boots on the ground” philosophy. Over 20 PBR scouts worked games, practices, or events this spring and summer and the work showed with an additional 42 players making their first appearance in the class of 2020 rankings. In the coming days we will dive into these new players, as we continue to cover the updated NC Class of 2020 rankings. Today we look at the newcomers inside the Top 50.
