Last year, Sneed had the best season of his career, averaging 10.3 points per game. He also had career-highs with 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game for an Orange team that won 19 games, it’s most since the 2016-2017 season.

He also scored 21 points in a win over East Chapel Hill on December 17. Sneed opened this season by scoring 12 points against Voyager Academy on November 15. The following day, he scored eleven points in a victory over Riverside at Voyager Academy, where he also registered a season-best four blocks. Sneed helped Orange’s full-court press a dangerous force throughout the season. He led the team with 76 steals. He had seven steals against Southern Alamance in the Central Conference Tournament. In his junior year, Sneed was a regular performer for an Orange team that won the Central Conference regular season and tournament championships. He also racked up six steals against East Chapel Hill. Though Freddy has graduated, he plans to continue his love of basketball in the coaching world.
