<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 Palmetto State Class looks to be a good one moving forward into this summer. Who were some of the players that stood out this past weekend in Charleston? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>SC Future Duo Makes Noise:</em> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":651544,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/9070BDF7-6FC1-4070-9F7E-BFEAE13CAC9D.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-651544" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185224' first='Terriana' last='Gray'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='190150' first='Rickell' last='Brown']</strong> have played in many games over the years from Grassroots to the high school season. This duo looks to lead the SC Future 11th every weekend. Gray a slashing guard - wing player really likes to lurk along the baseline. She brings good athleticism to the floor and the ability to create some havoc at times on the defensive end. Terriana tends to play very well away from the ball and understands on how to make plays happen. Gray attends A.C. Flora HS. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":630179,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/02100266-6666-402C-B3D5-2F50744423EB.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-630179" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown really looks to get downhill at times more now and ever before. Rickell is in her first year playing the SC Future 11th after running with Sumter Elite a season ago. She attends Sumter HS where she been a regular in the starting lineup for the Lady Gamecocks for many years. Rickell really looks to defend on the ball and in the passing lanes. She surely doesn't lack effort when she is on the floor with her ALL-OUT HUSTLE attitude at all times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Lady Upward Stars 3SSB Brings 2024 Strong Guard Play:</em></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":651552,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/859F8A22-AD67-46FA-B507-F956147B7EC4.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-651552" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach RJ Booker can really throw out a lot of guards-wings to play for his squad. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='176614' first='Trinity' last='Vance']</strong> #2 player currently in the 2024 Palmetto State Class has received plenty of interest from college programs and offers. Vance never seems to be rattled while on the floor and always under control with her game. Trinity is a shot-maker from the perimeter while having the ability to score it from all 3-levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":651551,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/E52F3C6B-AB7A-451A-BF26-EE1517E7F91E.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-651551" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='175308' first='Raina' last='McGowens']</strong> recently decided to end her recruitment with a verbal commitment to UNC-Asheville. McGowens a combo guard can really dial in from downtown at times with her shot making. Raina has a good feel for the game and some great family bloodlines. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":654765,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/52A6AEA5-DED1-4996-BC1C-E1B72A0C7E13.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-654765" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='171802' first='Kiara' last='Croskey'] </strong>missed the whole high season with a injury this past year.

Bennon has been a solid addition with another guard who can score the ball from the backcourt. Alexandria has the ability to hit open shots on the floor. She played this past season at Christ Church in Greenville. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Hutchinson Picks Up Offer: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='171803' first='Tamya' last='Hutchinson']</strong> brings a side of CHAOS and EFFORT every time she touches the floor. Hutchinson creates so many scoring opportunities while on the floor for herself and teammates. She picks up steals, scores so many cheapies in transition, slashes to the cup and today was able to drop some perimeter jumpers. Tamya is a human floor burn because she will NEVER give you a lazy moment while on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the weekend Hutchinson picked up an offer from South Carolina State University. Hutchinson currently has scored 2,448 career points entering her senior season next fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She averaged 18.6 ppg, 5.8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3.3 steals this past season at Hilton Head Christian (27-2) and helped the Lady Eagles win the SCISA Class 3A State Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Plenty of Guards That Need Recruitment: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":654767,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/F9FCA86A-F610-4996-B01C-4695258DF49E.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-654767" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='255966' first='Yannah' last='Seaberry']</strong> generally plays off the ball for S.H.O.T.S. United 17U. She has a really good motor and always plays full out with her effort. Yannah constantly brings communication to the floor and is always talking on both ends of the floor. She will look to drop a floater or a 3-ball in the defender's face. Yannah likes to play as a physical defender while utilizing some quick hands-on defense. She attends First Baptist in downtown Charleston. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":654764,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/CDDC7390-E007-4166-B4DA-25540DFC40E2.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-654764" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='364921' first='Morgan' last='Jones']</strong> is a shot maker from the floor with her ability to make shots. Jones really shows to have a nice mid-range game and does a nice job showing elevation on her shot. Morgan will create good looks for herself at times on the perimeter. Jones just played the 2nd semester this past year at Northwood Academy after leaving Pinewood Prep. Morgan runs with Lowcountry Premier 2024 on the Grassroots Circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
