Class of 2026
Teonna Draughn Teonna Draughn 5'5" | PG Cardinal Newman | 2026 State SC plays so well and mature beyond her years at times. Teonna sees the floor and has the ability to make tough shots. She will drop a floater in the lane or simply hit a nice perimeter jumper. Draughn dropped 27 points in an opening game for SC Future today. Teonna has played the past 3 seasons at Hemingway HS down in Williamsburg County.
Kylie Fortner Kylie Fortner 5'5" | CG Landrum | 2026 State SC played good minutes this past season for the Landrum HS Lady Cardinals. Kylie really likes to work the corners and set up for her shot. She tends to have good selection while running with the Upstate Rebels 2026. The Upstate Rebels will take part in the Prep Girls Hoops Triumph Region opener this coming weekend at the Upward Star Center in Spartanburg.
Reagan Buff Reagan Buff 5'7" | PG Wade Hampton | 2026 State SC and Tyana Pullman Tyana Pullman 5'11" | C Woodmont | 2026 State SC both suit up for the FBC Future Queens. All three of these ladies saw extensive action this past season on the varsity.
Buff a left-handed combo guard feels comfortable playing both spots in the backcourt for the FBC Future Queens. Reagan is a pass first guard when playing on the ball and plays the game under control at all times. Warning defenders! – Don’t leave her open on the floor. She has good range out to the arc with her shot. Buff attends Wade Hampton HS.
Pullman attends Woodmont HS while playing down in the post. Tyana tends to keep the ball up high after claiming it off the glass. She works the block from side to side while staying in the paint to manufacture her points. Pullman at times can step to the short corner for a jumper.
Class of 2027
Anastasia Gillam Anastasia Gillam 5'3" | PG JL Mann | 2027 State SC and Khalia Hartwell Khalia Hartwell 6'5" | C Westside | 2027 State SC are just two pieces to the puzzle for Head Coach Milton Parks on this FBC Untamed Hawks 2025 roster. Gillam a jet quick guard who really can get the ball to cup and score the ball. She really excels in the transition game even though feels comfortable playing in a half-court set. Anastasia plays the game with a fearless mindset and has no problems jumping on the floor for the loose ball.
Gillam has good court awareness and really knows on how to set her teammates up for open looks. She currently has played already 2 full seasons of varsity ball at Calhoun Falls Charter.
Hartwell 6’5 is a legit size post player for the T.L. Hanna HS Yellow Jackets. Khalia will challenge and alter shots on the defensive end of the floor. She did a really nice job today of running the break and filling the lane in transition. Khalia showed to have a decent touch on the foul line.
Imani Mciver Imani Mciver 5'11" | SF Mauldin | 2027 State SC helped the Mauldin HS Lady Mavericks win a Class 5A State Championship this past season. McIver a long and rangy wing player brings some good bounce and springs to the table. Imani played active in the passing lanes today while picking up a few deflections along the way.
Ava O’Shields Ava O’Shields 5'9" | SG Wren | 2027 State SC played this past season at Wren HS in Piedmont. O’Shields a shooting guard was able to get her feet set today and knockdown a few open looks on the floor. Ava is currently playing with the FBC Hawks 14U squad.
