Continue ReadingHigh school camp month of June for 2023 has nearly come to a close, but not before a few more colleges and universities welcome some of their respective region’s talents to their home courts.
One of those colleges and universities is Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Wofford has undergone plenty of success with its women’s basketball program as of late – including a WNIT appearance and winning a regular season Southern Conference championship.
We at Prep Girls Hoops made the trip up to the home of the Terriers for the final day of the festivities. Here is a look at which rising seniors turned in impressive performances.
Kniceley made plenty of (k)nice plays on Sunday morning for her 7A War Eagles. She finished with 10 points as she spearheaded the early scoring attack South Forsyth threw at Weddington. Kniceley is a talented rim attacker that can deliver strong finishes at the cup. A floater is also part of her overall offensive arsenal and she delivers hustle plays as well. Defensively she is a threat to create additional possessions with the steals she can compile. Kniceley primarily operates as a two guard in the backcourt. She will be one of many throughout the Peach State poised to deliver a strong finish to their high school careers.
Alexis Hood

Hood was a key component in her Wolves’ victory over South Carolina-based Palmetto Christian Academy. The final score was 51-42. She is a double-double possibility as she not only displays prowess as a scorer, but also as a rebounder. Typically, Hood plays as a five in the frontcourt. Hood understands that when playing close to the basket, it means playing the game on contact and that can lead to plenty of opportunities at the free throw line. Something that also helps is the 6-foot-2 height that Hood currently possesses. As a rising senior, Hood is more than poised to put an exclamation point on her high school career.
Alex McElroy

Any time a team puts together an imposing performance as was the case for the 7A Hoyas early Sunday afternoon against John Battle, it is usually anything but a one-person show. While the Trojans defense had virtually no answers for teammate Sloane Vick Sloane Vick 5’9″ | SG Harrison | 2025 State GA , it also could not contain McElroy. Plenty of opposing teams and coaches probably have stories of how difficult McElroy can be to contend with. Whether it is her 3-point shooting capabilities or how she gets out in transition, she can be a tough out for many an opponent. Add in what she can do on the defensive end with the steals she collects and she can be a chore for coaches to game plan against.
Torgerson plays up in the mountains of northwestern North Carolina. One wonders even as good as she is if her game has reached its peak (blue). Our guess – it is getting there as her senior season lurks. The older of the two sisters Torgerson that make up the 4A Watauga roster, she tallied eight points to lift her team to a 47-33 victory over Pickens out of South Carolina. She is listed at 5-foot-7 and can play either of the guard spots in the backcourt. Among the strong points of her game is her ability to draw contact and get to the free throw line as well as her status as a fearless attacker of the rim.
In South Carolina basketball circles, Chambers is a name on the rise and she plays for a team that is rising up the 4A ranks. Chambers concluded her afternoon with a 10-point effort as Pickens matched up against North Carolina-based Watauga. She is listed as a three forward in the Blue Flame’s frontcourt. Much of what she gets accomplished is near the rim as either a rebounder or a high-percentage scorer. Chambers managed to display her offensive versatility with her willingness to attack the basket. She will be ready to box out in case of an opponent’s missed free throw and understands how to get to the free throw line.
