FBC United The Jungle Tour SC: 2028s-29s

It will not be long before the eyes of high school sports fans in South Carolina, Georgia and beyond shift their foci to their many basketball courts.    Many of the region's top names are living this fact closely every day – and want to ensure that their games are as on-point as possible when those eyes are on them.    A number of those top names from the Palmetto and Peach States converged on South Carolina's capital city – Columbia – for the [program_tooltip program_id='713452' first='FBC' last=''] Jungle event at ReCreation Athletics.   We at Prep Girls Hoops were on hand for the Sunday hoops gathering. Junior standouts were spotlighted in an earlier article and we now shift our focus to sophomores and freshmen who had their balling shoes in South Carolina's Midlands.    An opposing team's fortunes are anything but tranquil when Quiller is making plays for her team. Quiller has spent time on the junior varsity circuit at Evans and her play is certainly more than worthy of the call up that she received to the big 5A Knights squad – a squad that finished 24-4 in 2024-25 in large part thanks to Quiller's play. One reason for this is Quiller understands that effective defense can lead to playmaking on the offensive end. She can placed into a team's starting five as either a one or a two guard in the backcourt. A multi-talented southpaw, she made appearance at the Prep Girls Hoops Sophomore ID Camp.      Brinson rose up Georgia's Prep Girls Hoops 2028 rankings back in July and her play has been indicative of one who is continuing to improve her stock. Brinson has an understanding of which plays have to be made based on which moment it is in a game and where she is on the court. A team gets plenty of efficient playmaking whenever Brinson is on the court – something that is sure to become more pronounced in her upcoming three seasons of high school basketball. The Warriors of 6A Grovetown will be an assembling to be reckoned with as long as Brinson is wearing its navy blue and red hues.      The move up from 3A to 4A did wonders for Seneca as the Bobcats put together its first season with a double-digit win amount since 2019-20. One key element of Chiles' skillset is a willingness to draw contact and find her way to the free throw line. Chiles may primarily be in a lineup as a small forward or a power forward. Attacking the basket and delivering strong finishes is another element to her skillset. Chiles also understands how to play at point where she can organize an offense in a halfcourt set. She showed signs at Sunday's event that she is ready to take that next step for her Bobcats.      Between her appearance at the SCBCA Elite Camp in Charleston and her appearance at [program_tooltip program_id='713452' first='FBC' last=''] The Jungle, the first weekend of October has been a busy one for the rising star from 5A Division 2 Goose Creek. In addition to Dates' overall playmaking prowess, she presents a height advantage over her peer guards. The ability to be a three-level scorer is another positive attribute to Dates' game and her length compliments her height as a guard particularly on the defensive end of the floor. She put together a remarkable eighth-grade season last year for the Gators and she is just getting started establishing a profile that can extend past the Palmetto State's realms. Dates also is a cross country runner.     There were a few names that made the trip on Interstate 20 eastbound and across the Savannah River from Georgia to be part of Sunday's festivities in the Midlands. Richardson was one of them and the 5-foot-11 up-and-comer from Hephzibah made the most of her time in Columbia. The heads-up attitude she approaches the game with enables to take advantage of an opposing team's miscues. With that height, she particularly has an advantage when looking to score, rebound and block shots in close proximity to the rim. Richardson concluded her spring and summer running on the Adidas circuit with [program_tooltip program_id='1231019' first='Upward' last='Stars 3SSB'].      As of late, the Wildcats of 5A Division 1 West Ashley have been garnering headlines because of its successful guard play. But teams that sustain their winning ways can get it done both from outside and inside. Simmons represents the “inside” part of that equation. She previously played at the middle school level with C.E. Wiliams. Her career has also included playing at the junior varsity level and on the AAU circuit with [program_tooltip program_id='713840' first='Charleston' last='Raptors']. Between her skillset, her height and the imposing presence she presence in the interior Simmons can be a major player for West Ashley as it looks to take that next step.

It will not be long before the eyes of high school sports fans in South Carolina, Georgia and beyond shift their foci to their many basketball courts.
