Jasmine is highly efficient around the basket with her GREAT HANDS and footwork. Stock Riser down the road for sure Hint-Hint. Jasmine is extremely off the floor if it’s challenging shots down in the paint or claiming a rebound on either end of the floor. Grant averaged 9 ppg last season and look for those numbers to improve for sure. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-357573" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/11/979C41BE-626F-4E49-A711-215A497AB1B9.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="357554" first="Terranique" last="Polite"] (2022) - Summerville HS </strong> Polite has really picked up her since we saw her this summer playing with Lowcountry Premier on the Grassroots Circuit. Terranique is skilled enough to play multiple positions on the floor. Polite a long and rangy slasher sees the floor very well with the ball in her hands. She has the ability to pull-up off the bounce and knockdown shots with her athleticism. Polite averaged 8.4 ppg last season for the Lady Green Wave. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-281835" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/4DA9EEA4-A2D0-4E88-B087-26B84C39A574.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="176620" first="Kristen" last="Jenkins"] (2022) - West Ashley HS - Prep Girls Hoops CO-Preseason Region Player of the Year</strong> Jenkins is geared to score the ball for the Lady Wildcats.

Jenkins is off to quick start this season after 3 games averaging 23.7 ppg this year. She ran this summer on the Grassroots Circuit with TMP. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="262008" first="Ja’Lyn" last="Fyall"] (2022) - West Ashley HS </strong> Fyall 5’4 point guard is the table setter for the Lady Warriors.

Thompson plays the game under-control and at times can get the ball into the gaps. Diamond will need to improve her numbers this season for the Lady Swamp Foxes to make some noise in the region. Thompson averaged 8.3 ppg last year. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-359505" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/12/79BAC6D2-766D-4DC3-96D9-AB9512CC2A83.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="359499" first="Ya’niah" last="Smith"] (2022) - Summerville HS </strong> Smith was a new name we got to see this past weekend at the TKC Thanksgiving Tournament. Ya’niah plays the game with a good demeanor and understanding from the backcourt for the Lady Green Wave. Ya’niah can finish at the rim with both hands at the cup along drawing contact. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="190157" first="Talasha" last="Walker"] (2023) - Stall HS </strong> Walker plays off the ball out on the perimeter for the Lady Warriors. Talasha can knockdown the 3-pointer when called on.

Weiters has the ability to score the ball from all 3-levels on the floor. Makayla can cross-over a defender or drop a floater in a defender’s face to the basket. She really logs a lot of minutes and looks to rarely come off the floor for Head Coach Donta’ Brown. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-299603" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/06/4986E3CC-4067-40C0-BF15-76C09739E62C-scaled-crop-1793x1178-1624283906-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="199693" first="Dianna" last="Blake"] (2024) - Ashley Ridge HS </strong> Dianna can play inside-out on the floor for the Lady Swamp Foxes. Blake has a good set of hands to finish around the basket. She will drop a short jumper or draw contact battling for position down low on the block at times. Blake is looking to have a big season after averaging 5.6 ppg last year as freshman. &nbsp;
