Here's a look at the top performers from Day 5 of the 2019 Governor's Challenge.

1. 2020 Forward Jordan Price, Elizabeth

Jordan Price, a New Haven commit, had another strong performance for the Elizabeth Minutemen in a victory over Boys Latin (MD). Price had 22 points and 11 rebounds, another double-double in the Governor's Challenge, to power his team to a big win over Boys Latin. He posted 15 of his 22 points in the second half, pushing the Minutemen to a 67-47 victory after leading by just six at halftime. He's a post prospect with a bright future at the next level. 

2. 2022 Guard Christian Winborne, Gilman

Gilman School got a big Governor's Challenge performance from 2022 guard Christian Winborne. Winborne closed out their trip to the Governor's Challenge with 23 points and another victory over Eagle Academy (NY) in a 58-55 victory. He showed off his ability to score on all three levels at will in a close win. He holds offers from Loyola (MD) and Kansas State.

3. 2021 Guard Kino Lilly Jr., Landon

Kino Lilly Jr. put together another solid shooting display in the 2019 Governor's Challenge to take home a bracket title for the Landon Bears. Lilly led the Bears with a game-high 24 points to go along with five rebounds and three assists in a 79-67 victory over Lake Nona (FL). He went 9-of-16 (56.3 percent) from the field and 4-of-6 from 3-point land, showing off his ability to fill it up with efficiency from the field. He holds offers from Brown, Merrimack, Stony Brook and Bryant.

4. 2020 Guard E.J. Neal, Balboa

E.J. Neal and his Balboa (CA) squad didn't get a victory in their final game of the 2019 Governor's Challenge but they got a big performance from him. Neal finished with 19 points on 6-of-15 from the floor and 2-of-5 from the 3-point line, showing off his ability to operate all over the floor. Balboa finished 2-2 in this year's Governor's Challenge and got a ton out of Neal in this year's event. He holds offers from Northern Colorado, Brown and Montana while drawing interest from a number of other D1 programs.

5. 2021 Jaqui Murray, South Shore

South Shore lost a close one against Rock Creek Christian, but it wasn't due to the lack of effort from Jaqui Murray. Murray finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks, showing off his ability to fill up the stat sheet for his squad, despite the result. He shot 8-of-14 from the field and 2-of-3 from behind the arc, showing off his ability to score on all three levels. He's a junior prospect in the state of New York worth a look by college programs.

6. 2021 Guard Jacobi Wright, Legacy Early College

Legacy Early College got another close win in the 2019 Governor's Challenge, this time over Balboa (CA) with a 47-43 win. It was a rough shooting display for the Lions as they shot 31.8 percent as a team, but they managed to control the pace and keep the lead thanks to timely plays made by 2021 guard Jacobi Wright. Wright finished with 12 points, five rebounds and four assists, going 5-of-8 from the free-throw line in the defensive battle. He's slowly emerging as a solid combo guard that can knock it down from deep. He holds offers from a number of D1 programs while drawing interest from some high major programs as well.

7. 2020 Guard Canin Reynolds, Landon

Canin Reynolds was another top performer for the Landon Bears in their win over Lake Nona. Reynolds was stellar making plays for himself and others while finishing with a near triple-double. He put up 19 points, seven assists and six rebounds, showing off his ability to play big despite his small stature. He'll be a solid addition to Columbia's squad next season.

8. 2020 guard DeLonnie Hunt, Rock Creek Christian

Rock Creek Christian found themselves in a battle against South Shore (NY) in their second game of the 2019 Governor's Challenge. 2020 guard DeLonnie Hunt stepped up big with 11 points, five assists and five rebounds in the 71-63 victory. Hunt did well not to force things on the offensive end against a bigger squad and found a way to impact the game with his assists and ability to get to the rim in a close win. He's an explosive guard that colleges are starting to get wise about offering as he's still an unsigned senior.

9. 2021 Guard Bryce Johnson, Lake Nona

6-foot-2 guard Bryce Johnson put together a solid performance for Lake Nona despite their loss to Landon. Johnson put up 12 points, 15 rebounds, two assists and a block for his squad despite the result. He's 6-foot-2 with a nice blend of length and athleticism that allows him to get to the rim and finish. He's also quite the offensive rebounder, finishing with four in the game. He'll be one prospect to keep an eye on out the state of Florida.

10. 2021 Guard Zaire Wells, South Shore

2021 guard Zaire Wells was another top performer for the South Shore Vikings despite their close loss to Rock Creek Christian. Wells poured in 22 points and five rebounds while shooting 9-of-16 from the floor and 4-of-8 shooting from 3-point land. He did well to assert himself from behind the 3-point arc as well as going to the basket to make a difference in the game. He's a 6-foot-5 guard in the state of New York worth some looks.
