One of the most notable transfers of the offseason, Lee-Sutton becomes a Blazer a year after guiding the Raiders to a 3A Lower State championship. An AEBL product, she played in 25 of Keenan's 27 matchups last season. Lee-Sutton averaged 22.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 steals and 3.3 assists per matchup and joins a Blazers team that finished 15-8 last season and 10-2 in its region – only trailing eventual 5A Division 1 state champion Blythewood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["324559"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1117712,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a832e6b73849"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This one is the classic example of the phrase “what is old is new again.” McMillan has spent the bulk of her career sporting the black and Vegas gold hues of Fairfield Central and will once again do so as the Griffins drop in classification from 2A to the 1A ranks. McMillan's junior campaign was in the SCISA ranks with 4A Hammond where she guided the Skyhawks to a 17-7 record. McMillan averaged 19 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals per matchup last season. She was one of the first from the state's 2027 class to announce a college commitment as she will be part of Anderson's 2027 incoming class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["989336"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1250945,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a832e6b73879"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After graduating five seniors from last season's team, coach Mandy Harrison's 3A Oceanside Collegiate team will be one of the big winners of transfer season when all is said and done. The [program_tooltip program_id='988463' first='Mosch' last='Ball'] standout will be heading from 5A Wando to become a Landshark. Reynolds was an important factor in last season's Warriors claiming a 5A Division 1 Lower State championship. She played in 26 games last season at Wando and averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, three steals and 2.2 assists per game.

Crawford has competed in multiple athletic disciplines throughout her career – including volleyball alongside her basketball achievements. The 2028 was in 28 of the Warriors' 29 games last season while averaging 6.7 points, 6.5 rebounds (second on last season's Wando team), 2.2 steals and 1.7 assists per game. Crawford was one of four from the class of 2028 on the 2025-26 Warriors. Her season-high in terms of points occurred in mid-December when she placed 13 on the board in a hard-fought 59-55 victory over Lower Richland. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885794"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a832e6b738ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speaking of Lower Richland, transfer season has not been kind to the Diamond Hornets as of late. Wright is making the move from 3A Lower Richland to an Eau Claire team that will be moving from 2A to 1A when the 2026-27 commences. Wright's travel career has included stints with [program_tooltip program_id='713550' first='Palmetto' last='76ers'] and [program_tooltip program_id='713672' first='Palmetto' last='Pressure']. As an eighth grader, Wright competed in 22 contests under coach Morgan Stroman at Lower Richland. She now joins a Shamrocks team that could be in the process of a turnaround. Wright was among the Diamond Hornets' leaders in 3-point percentage last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885798"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a832e6b738f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another that is departing from Lower Richland as it moves back to the 3A ranks is Isaac and her new home will be 5A Sumter.

She was one of eight from the class of 2028 on last season's Diamond Hornets roster. Isaac competed in 21 of Lower Richland's 25 contests last season and first played at the high school varsity level when she was a middle schooler.

Glenn was one of the leading scorers for the Gators last season and also excels as a rebounder. She was one of six from the class of 2028 on last season's Lakewood team. Sumter is in a state of transition as longtime former coach Jeff Schaffer stepped down from his post with the Gamecocks. Brittany Lee – who is part of the Sumter Athletics Hall of Fame will be in her first season at the helm at Sumter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1047746"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1048037,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a832e6b7393b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yandle competed her first two seasons at the high school varsity level with St. James – including her eighth-grade season.

Yandle has had a travel career that has included stints with [program_tooltip program_id='1238252' first='Twelve' last='Time'] and, currently, with Field Force. She competed in all 24 matchups last season at St. James and averaged 14.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game.

It was of the in-state variety courtesy of Lander. Glenn's freshman season will be in the 4A ranks with Fountain Inn. She completed her middle school career with Fishers MS in the Upstate and joins a Fury team that finished 15-12 last season. During the spring and summer, she wore the uniform of FBC Youngunz 14U which competed on the Under Armour circuit. The Fury only graduated one senior from last season's team, meaning Fountain Inn is set up nicely to continue its winning ways with Glenn now sporting its signature navy blue and burgundy hues. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1265026"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1897249,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a832e6b7398a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is plenty of intrigue as to what the roster will look like for coach Dameon McCain's 4A Lake Wylie team as it begins its first-ever season.

Pearson spent her spring and summer running with Team Mack on the Under Armour circuit. A gifted scorer and rebounder, she played in 25 of the Blue Eagles' 26 games last season. Anticipation is building for Nov. 17 when Pearson and her Chargers will compete in the school's first-ever girls basketball contest as they host 4A Gaffney. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["587310"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a832e6b739ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Delly is well-known across the Palmetto State for being part of several state-championship winning Andrew Jackson teams.

A product of [program_tooltip program_id='713550' first='Palmetto' last='76ers'], Delly competed in 27 games last season for an Andrew Jackson team that reached the 2A Upper State championship game.
