Croskey Makes Return:
Kiara Croskey Kiara Croskey 5'6" | PG Sumter | 2024 State SC has finally returned from her injury. Croskey a guard from Sumter HS went down with a injury last spring on the Grassroots Circuit. She sat out this whole past season for the Lady Gamecocks. Croskey is back running with Lady Upward Stars 3SSB 2024.
Hayes and Nesbitt Holding Down the Paint:
Deyana Hayes Deyana Hayes 6'1" | PF Wren | 2024 State SC and Trinity Nesbitt Trinity Nesbitt 5'10" | PF Woodmont | 2024 State SC were managing the paint this weekend for the Lady Upward Stars 3SSB 2024. Hayes a forward from Wren HS and Nesbitt from Woodmont HS saw plenty of playing with a few players not in attendance. Hayes and Nesbitt both understand how to work inside and rebound the ball down low. They both play the game in the post and stay around the paint area to be effective.
