If one wears blue and Vegas gold of Berkeley, it is very likely one landed an offer from Claflin and coach Terrence Jenkins. Carter’s recruiting has experienced a noticeable uptick since her performance in last year’s 5A Division 2 state championship contest against Greenville. Francis Marion, Minnesota North College-Vermillion, Lander, Anderson and now Claflin since Carter led the Stags to another state crown. For the 2025-26 season, the Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite product would average 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals in the 28 games she played for coach Crystal Peace’s team. Carter will resume travel play at EYBL Session 3 in Las Vegas from July 10-13. 

Another guard from Berkeley that you do not want to have to defend. Carter is a play maker that can beat you off of the dribble or pass. She has a mean crossover that leads into a pull up jumper that she knocks down consistently. Defensively, she will work the opposing ball handler in a full court pressing defense. She is also very good and coming to trap and forcing turnovers.

Carter’s recruiting fortunes have continued to lead in one direction – up – following leading her Berkeley team to back-to-back 5A Division 2 state championships. The latest offer that Carter claimed was an in-state look from Anderson. With only a week and a few days remaining in June’s camp month, it will not be long before Carter resumes her travel schedule with Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite. Carter has been offered by Francis Marion, Minnesota North College, Lander and now Anderson since the 2025-26 season concluded with an eye-popping 29-point performance at Colonial Life Arena to dispatch Greenville in last year’s state contest. Carter will be at Nike EYBL Session 3 in Las Vegas in mid-July. She averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals per game last season. 

This past weekend, Carter took part in a team camp at Francis Marion in Florence – the very same Francis Marion that extended the latest offer in Carter’s direction. Having a pair of state championships with 5A Berkeley – as Carter does – will certainly draw the attention of a coach such as Jeri Porter. What will also draw interest is when one leads their team to state championship glory with a 29-point performance as Carter did back in March against Greenville at Colonial Life Arena. The Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite product averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals per contest. 

Shortly after leading Berkeley to back-to-back 5A Division 2 state championships, Carter had secured an offer from Minnesota North College Vermillion. She also landed an in-state offer from Lander. Carter had one of the signature performances of any game during championship week at Colonial Life Arena, dropping 29 points in the Stags’ 54-50 victory over Greenville. Carter and her Stags are set to participate in a number of events during June – including the SCBCA Live Camp and Dawn Staley’s at South Carolina. Following June, Carter will be back in a Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite uniform at EYBL Session 3 in Las Vegas. 

For both years that there was a 5A Division 2 classification, Berkeley was the team to beat. Carter was at the nucleus of two of coach Crystal Peace’s Stags teams that claimed state championship. Back in early March, Berkeley defended its 5A Division 2 crown against a tough out in Greenville and she willed her team to victory to the tune of a 29-point outburst. A few weeks after the Stags repeated as state champions, Carter was rewarded with an offer from Minnesota North College. She averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals in the 28 games that she played. 

Carter may have put together the signature performance of anyone throughout championship week at Colonial Life Arena. Berkeley was looking to repeat as 5A Division 2 champions. Greenville would not make it easy. With a 29-point performance, the Stags were able to prevail over the Red Raiders with the final score being 54-50. The regular season being in the books means Carter is looking ahead to club ball with Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite whose first event will be this weekend in North Augusta. Carter would average 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals in the 28 gamest that she played. She also received an offer from Minnesota North College Vermillion. 

After experiencing the euphoria of the program’s first-ever state championship at the conclusion of last season, Berkeley is in search of a repeat effort. Carter’s play will be crucial in the Stags’ quest to run it back. Carter has played in 22 games for Berkeley this season and has averaged 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals. She helped the Stags conclude its regular season with a stellar record of 19-5 plus an 8-2 showing in Region 7-AAAAA. Carter is one of the four sophomores that comprise the 2025-26 version of the Stags. Berkeley was ranked fourth in the most recent 5A Division 2 coaches’ poll. 

Another tough talented guard from the Palmetto state. Alaina plays on a very talented team that won the state championship last year. She currently leads the team in points, assists and steals. She is a high percentage shooter that has an explosive mid-range game. Carter is a difference maker for her Berkeley team.

Berkeley’s defense of its 5A Division 2 state crown began in inauspicious fashion with a loss to SCISA 4A runner-up First Baptist the Tuesday prior to She Got Next. Carter helped to right the ship for the Stags as she scored 18 points in a 70-54 victory for Berkeley over 4A Beaufort. Carter approaches the game with a heads-up attitude, enabling her to react quickly on any play. She will run back to the offensive side of the floor as soon as a teammate corrals a defensive rebound. Carter can display accuracy from behind the arc and displays on-court leadership skills which not every sophomore showcases. Two word that come to mind when watching Carter are floor and general.
