This past weekend delivered one of the most explosive offensive displays in recent North Pole Hoops history. From record-breaking individual performances to a wave of emerging scorers lighting up the stat sheets, the 2029 and 2030 classes put Canada on notice.

The headline came from Zion Antwi, who poured in an NPH-record 56 points, etching his name into the history books. His teammate Canaan Owusu wasn’t far behind, dropping a staggering 51 points en route to a 33.7-point weekend average. Across multiple programs—Tall Pines, St. Jude’s, Tri City Prep, Lincoln Prep, Fitz Youth and Westfield Prep—players posted stat lines that would be eye-catching at any level.

In total, six different players averaged over 25 points per game, with four surpassing the 30-point mark. It was a weekend defined by elite shotmaking, pace, and fearless confidence from Canada’s next generation. Whether it was Owusu’s all-around control, Antwi’s flamethrower scoring, or David Kouadio’s downhill dominance, the collective outburst showed the depth of offensive talent developing across the country.

This was more than just a showcase—it was a glimpse of the future of Canadian basketball, where skill, pace, and production are reaching new levels year after year.

2029 Class

6’1 PG Canaan Owusu (Tall Pines)
Poised lead guard who changes pace well and reads early help to create angles. Touch at the rim and comfort in ball screens stand out for his age. Weekend line: 33.7 ppg, 10 rpg, 5.3 apg, 1.7 spg, including a 51-point outburst—consistent with the “top guard in class” trajectory.

6’3 G David Kouadio (Tri City Prep)
Downhill, straight-line burst with functional strength; lived in the lane and showed improved touch through traffic which will only continue to get better. Opened with 34 points on 13/21 FG and trended near a 31 ppg weekend. Weekend line: 31 ppg, 3 rpg, 2 bpg.

6’3 W Amari Spence (Tall Pines)
Wing shot-maker with clean mechanics and confidence rising into contested 15–18 footers; uses size to shoot over guards and finish through contact. Weekend line: 23.3 ppg, 7 rpg—steady production that matched the “extremely consistent” billing.

6’4 F Aidan Oppong (St. Jude’s)
Physical, explosive forward who runs the floor hard; back-to-back in-game dunks highlighted his vertical pop and ground coverage. Rim protection tools showed in timing and reach. Weekend line: 18.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 1.7 bpg.

6’2 G David Burgess (St. Jude’s)
Compact scoring guard with a live dribble; got to his spots in the mid-range and scored it off the ball as well. Weekend line: 19.7 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 2.3 apg

5’11 G Jayden Dort (Lincoln Prep)
Shifty guard with first-step pop and a low center of gravity; consistent rim pressure and body control stood out. Cousin of NBA Champion Lu Dort. Logged 26 points in one featured outing; weekend average 25.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg.

6’0 G Jace Lindsay (Fitz Youth)
Quick, skilled guard; used hesitation into cross to create pull-ups and relocated well off penetration. Weekend line: 22.5 ppg, 2 rpg—profiles as a tempo guard who can scale scoring with usage.

6’1 G Carmine Meier (St. Jude’s)
Confident shot-maker—clean release off the hop; spacing value as a shooting threat, and secondary handler. Weekend line: 16.3 ppg, 1.7 rpg.

2030 Class

5’10 G Zion Antwi (Tall Pines)
Explosive microwave scorer with real pull-up range; gets into rhythm off quick hop footwork and doesn’t need much space. Logged an NPH record 56 points this weekend, showing volume shooting with stamina. Weekend line: 26.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 2 apg.

6’0 G Taharka Morgan (Westfield Prep)
Steady two-way guard; on-ball activity produced run-outs and he made composed reads in early offence. Weekend line: 16.3 ppg, 2 spg—reliable guard playmaker who raises a lineup’s floor.

6’3 F Jeremiah Tshibangu (Westfield Prep)
Lengthy defender who guarded across spots; covered space on the back line and finished as a cutter. Weekend line: 12.3 ppg, 3 rpg—impact leans defense/efficiency more than volume.

5’10 PG Ashton Barnes (Tri City Prep)
Pure table-setter who organized pace and hit guards in shooting pockets. Showed patience snaking PnR and simple paint-touch kick-outs. Weekend line: 14 ppg, 3 apg—fits a classic lead-guard profile with scalable usage.
