These players recently played in Rock Hill, SC at the Insider Exposure / Big Shots Carolina Live event. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="185718" first="Zhani" last="Thompson"] - Whale Branch HS - H2 Lowco (pictured on the front)</strong> Thompson really works for position in the paint. Thompson connected on a few nice turnaround jumpers today and felt comfortable from 6-8 feet on the floor. Thompson rebounds the ball well outside of her area and showed a soft touch around the cup. Thompson didn’t mind playing with contact. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201317" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/67D0BD35-8CC4-4AE2-9321-7BF5741825B4.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171736" first="Daveona" last="Hatchell"] - North Myrtle Beach HS - Confidence Cougars </strong> Hatchell is a blue collar worker in the paint for Head Coach Larry Roberts. Hatchell does a bit of everything for her team while on the floor. Hatchell can stuff the shat sheet every game in every category. Hatchell will provide senior leadership this season for the Lady Chiefs in a very tough Class 4A region. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201315" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/46910194-0D2E-436C-942A-4C6ED31938A5.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="171738" first="Jaiha" last="Williams"] - Bishop England - Lowcountry Premier </strong> Williams is a very heady player with her play on the floor. Williams connected on some mid-range jumpers while logging a lot of minutes this weekend for the Lowcountry Premier team. Williams sees the floor very well with her court vision and isn’t afraid to defend on the ball. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201316" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/63ACA2C6-EA7A-4FD1-92A4-4119FDA8C1A5.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="185213" first="De’Shanti" last="Watts"] - Clinton HS - Palmetto 76ers - Waiters </strong> Prep Girls Hoops saw Watts playing last month with a local team the Laurens County Sparks.

Watts at times today played a bit tentative but finally started feeling comfortable in the 2 games we watched her play. Watts connected on some 15-17 foot jumpers today and was able to be active in the passing lanes at times. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201318" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/09/0FEA90C8-C61B-48C0-8077-0B2348D5BAA8.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="175293" first="Layla" last="Warren"] - Beaufort HS - H2 Lowco</strong> Warren a point guard was the primary ball-handler all weekend long for the Hilton Head area based squad.
