Five-star North Carolina signee Caleb Wilson put together a memorable performance on senior night for Holy Innocents Episcopal (Atlanta, Ga.), piling up a career-high 43 points with 16 rebounds and four assists in a 92-66 victory over Lovett (Atlanta).

The 6-foot-9 forward connected on 16 of 25 shot attempts, knocked down 6 of 12 3-point attempts and was 5 of 10 from the free throw line in 28 minutes on Tuesday.

The No. 6 prospect in the Class of 2025 according to 247Sports Composite Rankings, Wilson is averaging 20.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.6 blocks and 2.3 steals per contest as a senior to guide 16-4 Holy Innocents Episcopal to the No. 68 spot in the expanded national rankings.

Wilson earned first team MaxPreps Junior All-America honors last season after posting 20.8 points, 14.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 4.4 blocks per outing to guide the Golden Bears to the Class AAAA state championship game.

The future Tar Heel's previous high was 32 points. He first scored 32 points in a victory over Druid Hills (Atlanta, Ga.) last season before matching that total in a win over Alexander (Douglasville, Ga.) on Dec. 7.

His impressive outing on Tuesday was just his latest eye-popping stat line this season as the two-way standout filled the stat sheet with 18 points, 20 rebounds, seven assists and six blocks in a win over Hot Springs in December and posted 28 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks in a recent two-point loss to No. 12 Grayson (Loganville).



The five-star prospect has piled up 1,649 points and 1,057 rebounds in 89 games. He has posted a double-double in 15 of 20 games this season.

Wilson committed to North Carolina on Jan. 24 over finalists Kentucky and Ohio State. The top 10 prospect is needed to make an immediate impact for a program that is trending toward missing its second NCAA Tournament in the past three seasons.

Holy Innocents Episcopal has four games remaining in regular-season action before beginning its quest for the program's first state championship.
