Randolph Hub’s 2025-26 All-Randolph County Boys Basketball

ASHEBORO — When there’s as much individual talent as there was for boys basketball in Randolph County this past season, selecting the top 11 players is a very difficult decision. So many players did so many different things for their team, it was nearly impossible to narrow the nominations down.

After the eight high school basketball coaches nominated their players, and all aspects of the game — such as statistics, sportsmanship, impact on the game and impact on their respective team — were all carefully looked at, The Randolph Hub All-County Boys Team has been determined.

Player of the Year

Will Dabbs, Providence Grove

Providence Grove High School had an incredible season and Will Dabbs was in the middle of everything positive that happened for the Patriots. Dabbs averaged 18.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals, scoring a total of 485 points. He shot 72 percent from the free throw line and 40 percent from three-point range as he hit 61 long-distance baskets. He led the Patriots to the Central Carolina Conference regular-season championship. 

Coach of the Year

Shane Worth, Providence Grove

In the first year of realignment, PG’s Shane Worth guided the Patriots to a perfect 10-0 record in the CCC. The Patriots advanced to the CCC Tournament title game and won a first-round state playoff game over West Caldwell before falling to Lincolnton. After an 0-4 start, PG finished 17-9 overall, including an 11-game win streak. The Patriots won five more games than in the previous season

The All-County Team

CONNOR CASSIDY (RANDLEMAN) — A finalist for player of the year, he finished off an impressive high school career by averaging 15 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per contest. He shot 54 percent from the floor, 38 percent from 3-point range and 70 percent from the free throw line. He was a strong defender, a great rebounder and took over games at times this season.

PACEY WAGNER (RANDLEMAN) — The emotional leader of the team, he also let his play speak for him. He averaged 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per contest. He was a strong 3-point shooter and possessed great speed with the ball in his hands. Every successful team needs a player like him on the floor.

KENAN SUGG (SOUTHWESTERN RANDOLPH) — It would be very difficult for any player to show more heart than Sugg showed on the floor. He averaged 11.4 points, 3.0 assists and shot 72 percent from the charity stripe. He would always give the opponent’s best scorer fits with his hustle and desire. He had 52 steals on the season and handled the bulk of the ball-handling duties.

JAXON MABE (UWHARRIE CHARTER ACADEMY) — Another finalist for player of the year, he missed the first few games of the season because of a fall baseball injury, but when he returned he became an instant stat filler.

TYLER GEE (EASTERN RANDOLPH) — Need a scorer? That’s Gee. Need a ball-handler? That’s Gee. Need a top-notch defender? That’s Gee. Need someone who can shoot from the outside or inside? That’s Gee. The junior, who was a finalist for player of the year, had a remarkable season as he averaged 22.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.8 steals and nailed 82 3-point field goals for the Wildcats.
