Around the State: York County Underclassmen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is lots of top-tier talent in every corner of South Carolina.

Tuthill led the Copperheads last season through a deep playoff run to the 4A Upper State Finals. She has proven herself as a leader beyond her years. As much of an at-will scorer as she is, she also is a gifted rebounder and combines the skills of a guard with the height of many forwards. Among the recent offers she has received include Western Carolina, San Francisco, Harvard and Penn.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63258d7f6e2b5","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["253658"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"With Tuthill coming into the fold with the Lancers, she adds to a 2025 class that was already stacked – including a Team Curry teammate who recently added offers from Winthrop, Georgetown and Elon to the one she received from Appalachian State last year. At times, it appears Stevenson is gliding effortlessly when she has the ball in her hand. She is also crafty with her handles. Her defensive skillset includes the ability to be a ball hawk and block shots. Stevenson is an efficient runner of the floor and this proves itself with what she does in the transition game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63258dbc6e2b6","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["185416"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Between Tuthill, Stevenson and Woods, the upcoming 2022-23 season for Legion Collegiate appears as if it will be an extension of the travel season with Team Curry. The former Cardinal Newman star has found a footing with the Lancers. Coaches probably have it somewhere in their playbooks to not foul Woods – because it is an automatic two or three points if it happens. Just as Woods is effective as a free throw shooter, she is also as effective from the midrange or from deep. Add in ball distribution abilities and it is easy to see why she garnered playing time in all 32 games last season as a backcourt stalwart for the Lancers.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63258ddd6e2b7","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["235705"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One has to be loving this list if they are fans or affiliated with Team Curry given it is where Davis also plays her travel basketball. At times it appears she can be wherever the ball is as a defender with an attitude for diving after 50-50 balls and corralling steals. Davis can hit a fair amount of open jump shots and is versatile where she can play either the one, two or three. She will spend time as a wing and ensure her teammates are always involved in the flow of a game. Davis played an integral role in the Copperheads run to the 4A Upper State Finals and previously played at Comenius.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63258df86e2b8","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["356926"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Camille is the real deal. Who knows where 5A Nation Ford would be if it were not for this multi-talented guard having one of the signature freshman breakout campaigns of any in South Carolina. Kerridge averaged 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game in 2021-22. Another Team Curry product, she regularly showcases how well she can handle the ball which includes the ability to change directions with the rock in her hands. Her defense creates extra possessions for her team and she can score either from 3-point range or by attacking the rim with a great degree of speed.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6325908f6e2ba","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["299561"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"When asking will more come from Wilmore, the answer is always a resounding yes. If anyone can compliment the scoring juggernaut that is fellow Nation Ford sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='356926' first='Camille' last='Kerridge'], it may be Wilmore. She also plays soccer for the Falcons alongside what she does as a basketball player. Wilmore can slice and dice her way through defenders en route to the basket or throw those same defenders off balance by either draining a midrange jumper. She also is an effective rebounder, can corral steals on defense and is versatile in that she can play as a guard, forward or a wing.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_632590a76e2bb","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405388"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Prep Girls Hoops remembers getting a glimpse of Moore when Fort Mill visited Spring Valley this past season in a first-round 5A playoff game. She ran on the grassroots circuit with FBC Carolina Brown 15U. Brown stands at 5-foot-4 and plays the role of the classic floor general. Moore has also participated in track and field in addition to what she does in basketball. She can weave her way through a number of defenders en route to the basket. Moore also finds herself at the right place at the right time on the court particularly in terms of rebounding. She is also very proficient from 3-point range.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_632590d66e2bc","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["297115"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Even though 5A Rock Hill was successful in winning its first-ever state championship last season, the Bearcats will certainly have a new look from the 2021-22 rendition. Sterling will be part of that. She plays primarily at the four and stands at 5-foot-9. Sterling thrives as a post presence and can find spacing in the interior. She displays her assertiveness on both the offensive and defensive ends of floor. Sterling may be entering her sophomore season but her play looks like that of an upperclassman. She understands the art of boxing out and is not afraid to absorb contact.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_632590ee6e2bd","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["372272"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Prep Girls Hoops got a glimpse of Lucas at the outset of the AAU season when she participated with her travel team – Charlotte Dream Elite 16U – at LBI March Madness at Concord's Carolina Courts. At 5-foot-11, she was one of the tallest members of the Charlotte Dream Elite 16U roster – one of three Blue Eagles on said roster. She will go after 50-50 balls and welcomes taking on tough defensive assignments. Lucas is an efficient mover of the ball and can maneuver flawlessly within the flow of an offense. There is plenty of upside for this Blue Eagles frontcourt stalwart.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>2026s</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6325911d6e2be","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["452369"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Hudson is possessing rivers of basketball talent. She put together an impressive eighth grade campaign with 5A Rock Hill that ultimately resulted in the program's first-ever state championship. Listed at 5-foot-7, she played in 19 matchups for the Bearcats. A good bit of the work she does involves converting on 3-point opportunities. Hudson sets herself up in good spots to receive passes and put points on the board. She plays primarily in the backcourt and stays active away from the ball. Hudson will be a key piece in the coming seasons for a Rock Hill team and coach Kenny Orr that sustained a massive hit this offseason between transfers and graduated seniors. She is a sign that the Bearcats program is in good hands and that its future is still bright.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>2027s</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_632591686e2bf","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["324542"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Seventh grade bigs typically do not come close to averaging double-doubles. But Cunningham is no typical 2027. She stands at 6-foot-1 and provides one noteworthy presence in the paint. Cunningham works very hard in the interior to not only score, but to also bring down rebounds and reject shots on the defensive end of the floor. The grand total of plays Cunningham takes off? Zero. Her presence gets the attention of defenses to where she attracts double teams. Cunningham will also seek spacing in the low post and will absorb contact to get to the free throw line. Anyone who is a fan of post play will want to watch this stock riser in the coming seasons. The Trojans will move from 5A to 4A this season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
