Elaina Whalen Elaina Whalen 5'8" | SF Irmo | 2027 State SC – Irmo HS
Jada Rogers Jada Rogers 6'3" | C Hampton County | 2027 SC – Hampton County HS
Teonna Draughn Teonna Draughn 5'5" | PG Cardinal Newman | 2026 State SC just finished up her first season at Cardinal Newman. Draughn previously attended Hemingway HS in Williamsburg County where she has played since a 7th grader. Teonna is a quick guard who can really score the ball and create own shot with her shifty ball-handling skills.
Tamira Delaney Tamira Delaney 5'8" | SF A.C. Flora | 2026 State SC and Malaya Mazyck Malaya Mazyck 5'8" | CG Wando | 2026 State SC both left-handed wing type players bring good athleticism to the floor. Both of these players play very active on both ends of the floor and really look to cause some havoc in the passing lanes.
Kennedy Dantzler Kennedy Dantzler 5'10" | PF Sumter | 2026 SC and Freshman Jada Rogers Jada Rogers 6'3" | C Hampton County | 2027 SC will provide post play for the South Carolina Future . Dantzler plays the game with a blue-collar mindset and recently came off a Class 5A State Championship this past March with the Sumter HS Lady Gamecocks.
Rogers just a freshman plays at the newly formed Hampton County HS in the Lowcountry. Jada already has legit size down low while playing with her back to the basket.
Kristin Brown Kristin Brown 5'8" | SF Keenan | 2026 State SC plays at Keenan HS in Columbia. Kristen brings good length and a willingness to slash to the basket. She tends to gamble on the defensive end of the floor at times.
