A Summer of Record‑Breaking Performances
At the 2026 Nike EYBL Peach Jam in North Augusta, South Carolina, Daughtry delivered a triple‑overtime masterpiece that saw him pour in 43 points, a performance that quickly entered the tournament’s lore.
His ability to control the tempo, accelerate in transition, and release a clean one‑motion shot proved decisive against a host of elite competition.
The outing was not an isolated flash; it capped a season in which he averaged 36.3 points, 6.7 assists and 4.3 steals per game, numbers that helped him earn Second Team All‑American honors from USA TODAY Sports.
Daughtry’s influence extended beyond personal statistics. He guided Calvary Christian Academy to the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 3A championship, where he scored 30 points in the title game and helped the program climb to No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports Super 25 rankings.
The team’s triumph over nationally ranked opponents such as Principia, Paul VI and Wheeler underscored his capacity to elevate teammates, a trait highlighted in a semifinal clash with Long Island Lutheran where he posted 36 points, five assists and multiple steals.
A key component of that success was chemistry with fellow senior Aiden Bolden, whose 57‑point partnership with Daughtry in a semifinal illustrated a dynamic duo that will dissolve after graduation.
With Bolden and two other starters departing, questions linger about the program’s depth, yet the underclassmen who remain are already being courted by top college recruiters.
Analysts predict that even without the graduating seniors, Daughtry’s leadership and skill set will keep Calvary Christian Academy in the conversation for future national titles.
Looking Ahead
As the high school season approaches, Daughtry’s name continues to surface in discussions about the best prospects for the upcoming NBA draft, and his performances at events like the Nike EYBL Peach Jam only amplify that narrative.
