Plenty of these players saw extensive action last season as 8th graders on the varsity level. 2020 is a year I know several people including myself would love to see leave sooner the better and take all the problems with it. The Palmetto State 2024 Girls Class looks to be a good one. Lets just take a look at few players in no particular order right here.
Joyce Edwards Joyce Edwards 6'3" | PF Camden | 2024 State SC – Camden HS (pictured on the front)
Edwards recently picked up a offer from Vanderbilt University after playing at Rucker Park in New York City this past weekend. Edwards is the centerpiece for the Bulldogs basketball program going forward the next 4 years. Edwards is extremely skilled and can do a bit of everything on the floor. Edwards averaged 21.4 ppg, 11.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 3.2 blocks and 4.7 steals as a 8th grader last season. Edwards helped the Lady Bulldogs to a (24-5) season.
Edwards no secret here is the top player in the Palmetto State 2024 Class.
Trinity Vance Trinity Vance 5'10" | SG Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC – Legacy Early College
Vance is a crafty with the ball in her hands. Vance makes plays for her and her teammates while on the floor. Vance has a sweet stroke from behind the arc and really likes to use the floater around the cup. Vance plays pesky defense on the ball.
Alayah Birch Alayah Birch 5'9" | CG Northwood Academy | 2024 State SC – Northwood Academy (Summerville) (pictured on the front)
Birch guided the Lady Chargers to a SCISA 3A State Championship Game before falling to Cardinal Newman. Birch is so poised on the floor for her age.
Raina McGowens Raina McGowens 5'10" | CG Wren | 2024 State SC – Wren HS (Powdersville)
Yes another McGowens here for the Hurricanes. McGowens the sister of Trey (Nebraska) and Bryce (Florida State commit) is just scratching the service playing for her mother Pamela McGowens here at Wren HS.
Kiara Croskey Kiara Croskey 5'6" | PG Sumter | 2024 State SC – Sumter HS
Croskey saw great minutes last season for the Lady Gamecocks on the varsity level.
Olivia Randolph Olivia Randolph 6'2" | PF Wren | 2024 State SC – Westside HS (Anderson)
Randolph really has an effect on the defensive end of the floor for the Lady Rams. Randolph can alter and challenge shots all day long in the paint. Randolph works from block to block around the cup.
Jasmine Frierson Jasmine Frierson 5'6" | CG Hartsville | 2024 State SC – AC Flora HS
Frierson a point guard will guide the offense for Falcons Head Coach Coral Johnson. Frierson sees the floor well with her court awareness and her ability to make the extra pass. Frierson really looks to set the table very well.
Alexandria Bennon Alexandria Bennon 5'7" | PG Christ Church | 2024 State SC – Legacy Early College
Bennon attended Hillcrest HS last season before coming over to the Lady Lions this off season. Bennon really likes to penetrate-kick and changes directions extremely well. Bennon can use body to fight off defenders and create her own shot on the floor.
Tamya Hutchinson Tamya Hutchinson 5'4" | PG Hilton Head Christian | 2024 State SC – Estill HS
Hutchinson has piled up a lot of numbers for the Lady Gators over the past few seasons. Hutchinson and the Lady Gators will now play in the Class 1A Lower State (Never understood why they were in the Upper State anyways).
