<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops made the trip up to the Midlands and attended The View Playday on Monday at Ridge View HS. The event is a good tune up before the South Carolina Live Team Camp starting tomorrow in Rock Hill. Let's take a look at some observations we saw here from Ridge View HS right here. <strong><em>#RecruitThePalmettoState</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>New Faces in New Places: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":671708,"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/4/2023/06/DFC97926-8F3B-4F58-9A98-62C7FC070FE5.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-671708" width="256" height="192" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='257992' first='Teonna' last='Draughn']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='451803' first='Ava' last='Rush']</strong> will both be at new schools come this fall.
