Class of 2027
Braylin Mungo Braylin Mungo 5'7" | PG Camden | 2027 State SC – Camden HS
Mungo and the Lady Bulldogs cruised in the nightcap vs Hilton Head Christian here today. Braylin a left-handed guard has already picked up of college offers despite just being a freshman. She really looks to excel in the transition game with her ability to leak out at times and with her uncanny court vision.
JaNyia Cunningham JaNyia Cunningham 6'1" | SF South Pointe | 2027 State SC – South Pointe HS
Cunningham was great today with her play down low. JaNyia plays the game extremely physical and NEVER takes a playoff while on the court. She understands on how to work for position or her angle herself to grab a rebound on both ends of the court. Cunningham recently picked up an offer from Boston College. JaNyia really likes to play the game through contact and excels on both ends the floor with her all hustle and being a leader on the floor.
Cunningham is averaging 15.9 ppg and 9.6 rebounds this season for the Stallions (14-2).
Aneya Britt Aneya Britt 5'9" | SF Westwood | 2027 State SC – Westwood HS
Britt quietly does her job around the cup for the Redhawks. She came into the contest yesterday averaging 9.9 ppg and 5.8 rebounds. Aneya finished with 8 points and 8 rebounds in the win over Lower Richland HS. Britt plays aggressive in the paint and seems to be most effective while close to the bucket.
Ashley Walker Ashley Walker 5'9" | PF North Augusta | 2027 State SC – North Augusta HS
Walker really has a nose for the ball on both ends of the floor. Ashley was constantly around the ball today here in the win vs Gray Collegiate. She and her teammates didn’t sub the whole game and played 32 minutes. Walker brings good versatility to the floor for the Yellow Jackets and another piece to a talented roster for Head Coach Al Young.
Trinity Delly Trinity Delly 5'8" | SG Andrew Jackson | 2027 State SC – Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw)
Delly is nice piece to the puzzle here for the Lady Volunteers. Trinity was able to set up shop out in the corners while receiving the ball in the pocket for her shot. Delly scored 7 points in the win over Military Magnet today. She plays really well away from the ball and really understands on how to defend on the ball
Scarlett Howell Scarlett Howell 5'6" | SF Wren | 2027 State SC – Wren HS (Piedmont)
Howell came off the bench for the Lady Hurricanes and saw good minutes today. Scarlett was able to knockdown some open looks while on the perimeter. Howell will surely be looked upon on the years to come for the Lady Hurricanes basketball future.
Class of 2028
Kaleigh Lucas Kaleigh Lucas 5'4" | PG Saluda Trail M.S / South Pointe | 2028 SC – South Pointe HS
Lucas starts at point guard for the Lady Stallions. She came into the contest averaging 11.3 ppg this season. Kaleigh plays well beyond her years already on the hardwood. She surely doesn’t lack any confidence with her game and court vision. Lucas really shares the ball well when she is not scoring the ball with a floater, or a jump shot.
Ailema Land Ailema Land 5'8" | SF South Pointe | 2028 SC – South Pointe HS
Land really brings a blue-collar mentality to the floor. Ailema a left-handed forward will surely be counted on down the road for this program. She really brings hustle to the floor and a willingness to learn.
Raina Mayers Raina Mayers 5'9" | PF Gray Collegiate | 2028 SC – Gray Collegiate
Raina saw good action yesterday playing 27 minutes for the Lady War Eagles. Mayers and her teammates saw plenty of action since only 6 girls played in the game. Raina claimed 6 rebounds off the glass in the loss to North Augusta HS. Head Coach Brandon Wallace has plenty of talent moving forward on this roster here at Gray Collegiate.
Class of 2029
Lauren Willis Lauren Willis 5'10" | PF Military Magnet | 2029 SC – Military Magnet
Willis a forward played 18 minutes yesterday for the Lady Eagles. Lauren knocked down a short jumper from the elbow and claimed a few boards in the process. Willis doesn’t play timid at all for her age and just being in the 7th grade.
Kemoni Hardy Kemoni Hardy 5'8" | SF South Pointe | 2029 SC – South Pointe HS
Hardy is part of the future here at South Pointe HS which looks very bright for Head Coach Stephanie Butler-Graham.
