WATCH: 4-star prospect Chidi Nwigwe's dominant display vs. AZ Compass Prep

Sunrise Christian Academy's four-star prospect Chidi Nwigwe stole the spotlight in Sunday's game, leading his team to victory over AZ Compass Prep in the Nike EYBL Scholastic game. The 6-foot-6 small forward delivered a dominant performance, racking up an impressive 26 points, five rebounds and two steals.

In a short video highlight of the performance shared on Instagram account @sportscenternext on Monday, the 17-year-old prospect is seen effortlessly sinking buckets, scoring three-pointers with ease, and slicing through defenders with precision. The clip also highlighted his exceptional teamwork as he seamlessly connected with his teammates, executed smooth passes, and finished off plays brilliantly.

The game, which ended 66-49, started off as a close contest, with Sunrise Christian Academy trailing by just one point after the first quarter. However, things took a dramatic turn in the second quarter. Sunrise Christian came in with a different momentum and completely over AZ Compass Prep. They outscored their opponents 17-3 to head into halftime with a commanding 26-13 lead.

Going into the second half of the game, AZ Compass Prep tried to make amends for their incredibly low-scoring output in the second quarter, as they delivered 17 points in the third quarter and 19 in the fourth. However, despite this late push, they still couldn't reduce the deficit, as Sunrise Christian managed to maintain their composure, narrowly outscoring them by three points in the third quarter and one point in the fourth.

Having joined Sunrise Christian Academy in July, Chidi Nwigwe is beginning to establish himself as one of the focal points of the team. He is currently one of the top-rated prospects in the class of 2026, and his standout performances have been attracting plenty of attention. In fact, he's already secured five college offers, with Oklahoma State, Illinois and Georgia Tech among the interested colleges. If he keeps playing at this level, it's only a matter of time before even more top programs come calling.
