Quick Hitters: Wayne Country Day Position Players


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Scouting Director

PBR was in Goldsboro on Tuesday October 24th for a Scout Day with Wayne Country Day.  Entering the 2024 season, the Chargers will have their eye on a potential run to another state championship.  This fall scout day gave PBR a peak at the talent and depth on the roster. 

The workout consisted of players in the 2024 through 2028 graduating classes. The day began with speed tests using Swift Athletic lasers.  Players ran a 60 with Swift Athletics collecting the 10yd split.  Players could then run a 30, again with the 10yd split timed as well. Following the running, players went through their offensive evaluation during BP.  After BP, players worked out at their defensive positions, again with PBR collecting stats and video on each player.

We break down some of what we saw duirng the Wayne Country Day School Scout Day below.  You can see the full roster from the workout, along all of the stats taken HERE.
