Youngsters Seeing Good Minutes:
Is it too early to talk about the class of 2029? Yes, that will be incoming 7th graders this coming fall.
Lauren Willis Lauren Willis 5'10" | PF Military Magnet | 2029 SC and Amuria Wright Amuria Wright 5'3" | PG Denmark-Olar | 2029 SC will be two names you will hear plenty of in the years to come from this class. Willis plays down in the paint at Military Magnet while Wright plays on the ball at Denmark-Olar HS.
Robinson Leads the Way for Bruinettes:
Joliyah Robinson Joliyah Robinson 5'6" | PG Orangeburg-Wilkinson | 2027 State SC will be running the show for the Orangeburg-Wilkinson HS program and for Head Coach Cedrick Simpson. Robinson a point guard showed some shakes and shiftiness to the cup today. She had no problems touching the paint and leaving off some quality passes in return.
Delaney All Over the Floor:
Tamira Delaney Tamira Delaney 5'8" | SF A.C. Flora | 2026 State SC knows how to impact a game without scoring the ball at times. Tamira was constantly in position to finish a putback around the basket, grab a loose ball or slash to the basket. She shows good versatility on the floor to make a play wherever needed for her A.C. Flora HS squad. Tamira will sacrifice her body when it comes to taking a charge or simply bring the ball up the floor at times in transition. Delaney is part of the 2026 Palmetto State Class.
Youmans Off the Grid:
Tilayiza Youmans Tilayiza Youmans 5'8" | SF Hunter-Kinard-Tyler | 2025 State SC is a very well around athlete at Hunter-Kinard-Tyler HS in Neeses down in Orangeburg County. Youmans averaged 22.2 ppg and 5.7 rebounds last season for the Lady Trojans. Tilayiza is a very athletic wing player who really brings some bounce to the table. She’s a capable shooter from the perimeter but seems to be at her best while slashing or attacking the basket.
Can Military Magnet 4-Peat?:
The Military Magnet Lady Eagles made the trip up from North Charleston to Denmark today. The Lady Eagles have plenty of talent back in the fold to make another run. Dream Watson Dream Watson 5'3" | PG Military Magnet | 2025 State SC runs the show and garners a lot of minutes on the floor. Watson is extremely quick in the open floor and pushing the tempo. She brings constant chaos on the defensive end to score easy buckets. Dream will breakdown a defender on the way to the basket with a nice crossover move.
Sabri Mitchell Sabri Mitchell 5'9" | SF Military Magnet Academy | 2025 State SC showed up later in the day. Dejamari Pugh Dejamari Pugh 5'6" | CG Military Magnet | 2025 State SC and lone senior Zanyiah Sanders-Smith Zanyiah Sanders-Smith 5'10" | PF Military Magnet | 2024 State SC provided contact and physicality all day long.
DaNariyah Williams DaNariyah Williams 5'9" | PF Military Magnet | 2026 State SC does her best work around the cup on collecting putbacks and providing scoring opportunities off rebounds. She was able to connect on a short jumper from time to time today.
The Lady Eagles team looks to be longer on both ends of the floor than in years past. This team could be right back in the middle of things again this coming season for a 4-Peat come next March.
Walker and Barnes Take on Leadership Role:
Aveion Walker Aveion Walker 5'10" | SF Denmark-Olar | 2025 State SC will look to be a leader this coming season for the Denmark-Olar HS Lady Vikings. Walker who has grown a bit over the past year brings good versatility to the floor for Head Coach Terence Jones. Aveion did a little bit of everything today when it came to defending down in the post, handling the rock up top or simply slashing to the bucket.
Ry’Naisha Barnes Ry’Naisha Barnes 5'7" | SF Denmark-Olar | 2025 State SC was constantly all over the floor today looking to make a play for the Lady Vikings. Barnes stays active at all times and brings good energy to the lineup.
Walker and Barnes both members of the 2025 Palmetto State will provide leadership this season for the Lady Vikings in the Upstate.
