Recruiting: Dakota Dukes decides on Davidson

Girls basketball standout Dakota Dukes has committed to play at Davidson.

Dukes is a senior this year but has played on the Cary Christian varsity since the eighth grade. Her career totals are staggering.

Milestones reached for Cary Christian

Three milestones were notched in a 79-27 blowout by Cary Christian's girls basketball team over Kinston Parrott Academy on Friday.

On the Recruiting Front: Dukes' big week garnering interest

Dakota Dukes is nearing 2,000 points in her career at Cary Christian, but she was relatively unknown in the area prior to last week's 2010 girls GlaxoSmithKline Holiday Invitational.

Dukes was already well-known to college recruiters, however. According to her coach Carmen Javaux, Dukes is being recruited by Elon, Western Carolina and Princeton, among others.

SWakeSports' girls basketball predictions for the year

As promised, we have preseason basketball predictions and a preseason all-SWakeSports team for the girls basketball season. As we saw last year, Cary Academy and Cary Christian can play at the same level as some, if not most, Tri-Nine teams. That's what makes this sport more fun to rank than the others.
 
In all our weekly rankings, we're going to tag it under "SWakeSports rankings," a change from last year's "TCN/SWW rankings" which were tagged under "TCN rankings."
 
Our preseason girls basketball rankings & All-SWakeSports team: Apex had this area in a stranglehold last year, but losing Cassandra Mitchell and Chloe Wells makes the Tri-Nine wide open. Meanwhile, Cary Christian returns everyone from a 28-3 team. 
 
Dukes leads our team as our preseason player of the year.
