Speaking of transfers, McMillan was another of the notable ones of the 2025 offseason as she brought her talents to the SCISA 4A ranks with Hammond. Her arrival brought a surge of energy and confidence to the Skyhawks as they improved from only one win in 2024-25 to 17 this past season. McMillan’s stellar 2025-26 campaign included her claiming Region 1-AAAA Player of the Year honors. The 2026 grassroots season will see McMillan on the Nike circuit with AEBL Girlz. McMillan averaged 19 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals per contest this past season. Among the highlights of her 2025-26 were reaching career marks of 1500 points and 500 rebounds. 

The field for the upcoming SCISA playoffs is yet to be determined as its regular season is reaching its apex but expect for Hammond to make its presence known in the upcoming 4A tournament. McMillan has been a difference maker as she recently reached 1,500 points for her career. Thanks to McMillan, Hammond has catapulted from a one-win 2024-25 to 16 victories this season. Among those 16 wins have been eight against region foes. The Skyhawks have a big matchup coming up this Tuesday against Ben Lippen to decide its region, but the rest of the SCISA 4A field has to watch out for McMillan and these soaring Skyhawks.

The arrival of McMillan to SCISA 4A Hammond has paid massive dividends for the Skyhawks. Hammond, which won only one game in 2024-25, has put together a double-digit winning 2025-26 season. McMillan recently brought down the 500^th rebound of her career. During last year’s AAU season, she wore the AEBL Girlz uniform. The Skyhawks’ lone loses of the season have occurred against SCISA 4A schools First Baptist and Ben Lippen as well as 5A Division 1 publics Dutch Fork and Spring Valley.  McMillan adds the 500-rebound achievement to when she reached 1,000 points for her career last season. She has played at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader. 

Monday’s matchup between her SCISA 4A Hammond team and 5A Division 1 public Spring Valley got out to a rocky start for McMillan. She was able to finish strong and put forth a productive matchup with 15 points even in a 42-34 Skyhawks defeat. The early tries were not falling for McMillan – but the free throws were. McMillan’s first six points all occurred at the charity stripe. She then found more success with attacking the basket and also understanding when the right times were to score and when the correct times were to pass. McMillan is one of five 2027s on this year’s Skyhawks team.

The rest of SCISA 4A has been put on notice that last season’s Skyhawks are not this season’s Skyhawks. McMillan keyed an offensive onslaught where Hammond routed 2A Edisto in Monday’s nightcap. She finished Monday’s contest with 16 points. McMillan may have had more, but with the contest against the Cougars being so lopsided, McMillan had plenty of time to rest. While McMillan garners attention for the crooked numbers she puts on a scoreboard, she displays her pass-first guard abilities by looking to find teammates to put them in position to make plays. Offensively, McMillan displays the court vision one would expect from a veteran such as her. Defensively, she keeps her hands and frame active on defense which can make many an opposing ball-carrier prone to turnovers.

One of the latest offers to find its way to a high-level Palmetto State prospect found its way to this Griffin-turned-Skyhawk. McMillan secured an in-state offer courtesy of Converse University in the Upstate. After a dismal season last season, McMillan looks to give a second wind to SCISA 4A Hammond. She played in 20 games in her final season at 2A Fairfield Central and averaged 17.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 steals per contest. McMillan will likely put up similar numbers sporting the red, white and blue hues of the Skyhawks and it ought to vault Hammond back in the SCISA 4A conversation. 

Speaking of noteworthy transfers, McMillan also made headlines earlier in the offseason with the move she made from 2A Fairfield Central to SCISA 4A Hammond. A few days ago, McMillan announced that she landed an offer from Winston Salem State and its head coach Tierra Rudd. McMillan adds the Rams offer to an in-state get she landed last month from Anderson. In what proved to be her final season as a Griffin, McMillan averaged 17.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game. The Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite product will be a worthwhile addition to a Skyhawks team looking to re-establish itself following a dismal 2024-25.  

Getting used to seeing McMillan hoop in any colors other than black and Vegas gold (2A Fairfield Central) will take a bit, but that will be the case as she has taken her talents to the SCISA ranks with 4A Hammond. She did get offered by a school that sports similar colors as her former high school home in Anderson. McMillan is another who has been at the high school varsity level since she was in the seventh grade and posted averages of 17.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 steals last season for the Griffins. Her addition is much needed for the Skyhawks as they are coming off a dismal 1-16 season. 

For those that are aficionados of McMillan wearing Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite colors, they will become very accustomed to her sporting its red, white and blue colors. Following a storied career at 2A Fairfield Central, McMillan is bringing her many talents to the SCISA ranks at 4A Hammond. The Skyhawks sorely needed the jolt of energy McMillan will provide as they finished a woeful 1-16 in 2024-25 – its lone win was against Cardinal Newman. She too has also been playing in the varsity realm since she was a seventh grader and averaged 17.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in what turned out to be her final season with the Griffins. 

It feels as if McMillan has been playing basketball longer than what she actually has. Her skillset catches the attention of many an onlooker and it did so once again at this year’s Florence camp. McMillan impressed with her ball handling skills – including getting a bit creative with how she does so. Anyone who watches McMillan also understands that she is very versatile and can play at either one of the two guard positions in the backcourt or as a three forward. She is an all-around playmaker who can do so at any time from anywhere on the floor. McMillan has been playing at the varsity level since she was a seventh grader and averaged 16 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season at 2A Fairfield Central.
