@ Sally
4 of the 5 boys players you listed were thrown out of college and had to go to another college. Also, you failed to mention Brendan Haywood who is one of the most famous Dudley athletes and a great role model & citizen.
Soup
I thought the article was about best at Dudley. It has nothing to do with what they did afterwards.Who are your 5 for both boys and girls? Here are mines:
Boys:
1.Vincent Whitt
2.William Graves
3.PJ Hairston
4.Brendan Haywood
5.Kevin Swinton
Girl:
1.Makia Valentine
2.Sierra Little
3.Helen Terry
4.Breonna Patterson
5.Kendra Porter
If he had not gotten the short end of the stick and been treated unfairly, Prince Bowden would have been in the top “3”. He, Haywood, and Williams we the three best who actually lived in the district—and Haywood has gotten the longest run.
I don’t know enough of the girls, but shocked Eric Hicks didn’t make anyones list. He was one of the most athletic kids ever came through Guilford County.
1 – Vincent Whitt
2 – Eric Hicks
3 – Kevin Swinton
4 – Brendan Haywood
5 – Prince Bowden
Left PJ off because he didn’t finish there.
Freddie Barnes
Brian Seagraves
Dorian Wilson
Vincent Whitt
Brendan Haywood
Freddie Barnes was definetly the best point guard to come through Dudley maybe Guilford County. If you don’t know him, look him up.
Dale, I mean Stan,
Did you coach Prince in AAU? He ended up transferring to another school for some reason didn’t he?
I totally forgot about Freddie Barnes. WOuld definitely put him ahead of Prince.

DUDLEY 90-91 Starting 5 was the Best 5 to come out of Dudley – The team that changed Dudley Basketball to the next level. It ALL STARTED WITH THEM.
1 Brian “Smoove” Seagraves
2 Glen Hayes
3 Derek Edwards
4 Damon Newman
5 Dell” Big Dog” Seagraves
I wouldn’t have ever thought to put Prince Bowden in the top 5 seen him play a couple times guess he had to let other people get theirs but I have heard if he had the chance to play that would have been his team. I know when he transfered he was putting up 30 plus games on the regular.
