Adams a point guard from Fairfield Central HS (Winnsboro) provides good leadership on the floor while dropping floaters along the way. Jordyn really likes to work in the lost art of the bounce pass to her teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":637768,"width":200,"height":131,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/04/2C56C036-70BE-4973-92B8-8C5BF3B5F3DC-crop-3151x2069-1681724761.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-637768" width="200" height="131" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson a member of the 2026 Palmetto State Class attends White Knoll HS (Lexington). Sydni will contest and challenge shots around the basket but seems to be most effective cleaning up on the boards. She really does a nice job of staying active on both ends of the floor. She really embraces on being a post player and playing down on the block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Blake is a Double-Double: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":654384,"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/F574082A-E6F9-47F0-B47B-505B1AF6AF1A.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-654384" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='199693' first='Dianna' last='Blake']</strong> is a constant double-double in the paint for the Lowcountry Premier 2024 squad. Blake who attends Ashley Ridge HS (Summerville) does her best work around the paint. She can step-out for a short corner or elbow jumper from time to time. Dianna is most effective finishing up on putbacks and creating opportunities for herself downlow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops has seen her play 3 times this spring and all 3 outings were WINS and double-double outings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>One Last Go Around: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":655564,"width":400,"height":263,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/41F9D44A-12E6-468E-8C0F-6C539B40884E-crop-2723x1788-1684076964.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-655564" width="400" height="263" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='197060' first='Devon' last='Yarde']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='171804' first='Trinity' last='Mickell']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='171803' first='Tamya' last='Hutchinson']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173002' first='Morgan' last='Scott']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='375057' first='Madison' last='Washington']</strong> has won a lot of games over the years between high school and with Lowco WBB 2024.

Trinity is strong and physical and really knows how to carve out space down low. She works for position and understands on how to finish through contact. Mickell plays at Allendale-Fairfax HS down in Allendale County. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":628647,"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/4/2023/04/02DA2919-DE73-4A4F-8073-6552CCB4783E.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-628647" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hutchinson is just coming off a solid weekend at the LBI Spring Invitational where she picked up a offer from South Carolina State University. Hutchinson has been part of the past 2 SCISA State Championship teams at Hilton Head Christian Academy. Tamya started her career at Estill HS where she piled up a lot scoring numbers for 3 years. Hutchinson shares the backcourt with Yarde here and on her high school team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":628657,"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/FD9EF1C9-E4BA-4134-BC84-414AF3F5BE95.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-628657" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173002' first='Morgan' last='Scott'] </strong>was able to pick up a SCISA State Championship Ring after coming over to Hilton Head Christian Academy last season. Scott who started off at May River HS was a great addition to the Lady Eagles squad. Scott compliments Mickell perfect downlow and at times extends it out to the wing. Can Scott, Hutchinson and Yarde win another SCISA Class 3A State Championship next fall? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":655562,"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/4/2023/05/95007576-406C-41AC-A86B-ECA7578C5525.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-655562" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='375057' first='Madison' last='Washington']</strong> was available to play last weekend for Lowco WBB 2024. Washington a undersized post player plays at nearby Bluffton HS. Washington gives the Hilton Head area based team another option down low. Madison will look to play face-up at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group pf ladies for the most part have been together for the 4 past summer even during the Pandemic.
