Talaysia has narrowed it down to Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee for her services next season. Cooper is ranked #2 in the Palmetto State 2022 Class. Cooper has her own way against opponents especially in region play over the years. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-302165" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/D463DB31-1536-4036-B29E-552888E8156A-scaled-crop-1772x1164-1624821140-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="253660" first="Liberty" last="Whack"] (2022) - East Clarendon HS</strong> Whack is a great compliment from Cooper’s creative passing and unselfish play at times.

Singletary a guard will look to lead a very young team this season. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-332394" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/09/D4662081-DE19-4134-B837-849ED1A3CA89.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="250480" first="Jerchel" last="Geathers"] (2024) - Carvers Bay HS </strong> Geathers transferred into the the Choppee Community this past fall after attending nearby Georgetown HS.

Teonna contributed a lot last season as a 7th grader on varsity. Draughn plays the game very mature for her age already and really brings some craftiness to the hardwood. Teonna has the ability to create her own shot and make buckets in a real hurry at times. The Scott’s Branch HS Lady Eagles will rely on a trio to help them make some noise this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="175337" first="Rosandra" last="Bennett"],</strong> <strong>Keonna Felder</strong> and <strong>Key’Nyreia Butler</strong>.
