<p>Class 5A - Region 6 consist of all Grand Strand area teams with the exception of Sumter HS. Lets take a look at the SENIORS from this region right here on your source for basketball coverage in the Palmetto State. </p>
<p><em><strong>Predictions: </strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Sumter HS - </strong>The Gamecocks have a lot of bodies to throw out on the floor for Head Coach Bryan Brown.</p>
<p><strong>Carolina Forest HS - </strong>The Panthers look to have a solid senior class in order to make a run this season. </p>
<p><strong>St James HS -</strong> The Sharks will surprise some teams on given nights.</p>
<p><strong>Conway HS - </strong>The Tigers are loaded with underclassmen on the roster for Head Coach Mike Hopkins. </p>
<p><strong>Socastee HS - </strong>Does [player_tooltip player_id="927557" first="<strong>Mike" last="Herrin</strong>"] have enough support to help the Braves make some moves ? </p>
<p><em><strong>Players to Watch in the Region: </strong></em></p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="976946" first="Corbin" last="Pack"] (2021) - Carolina Forest HS </strong></p>
<p>Pack is a SHOOTER out on the perimeter for the Panthers. Pack has good size to play at the 2/3 spot on the floor. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/D8076FCC-B4B0-4644-A23C-121257FF80FC.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1004981" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/D8076FCC-B4B0-4644-A23C-121257FF80FC-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="927506" first="Kyle" last="Watkins"] (2021) - Carolina Forest HS </strong></p>
<p>Watkins just came off having a great football season for the Panthers as a Quarterback. Watkins a point guard is a back lead the offense and has the ability to be a natural leader on the hardwood. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="927548" first="Alex" last="Greene"] (2021) - Carolina Forest HS </strong></p>
<p>Greene just like Pack can shoot the ball on the perimeter. Greene is a zone buster for the Panthers with his ability to knockdown shots.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/09/7447AC80-02E7-4A98-8BDE-79E4AF1BAD0D.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1052266" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/09/7447AC80-02E7-4A98-8BDE-79E4AF1BAD0D-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="747030" first="Jeremiah" last="Nesbitt"] (2021) - St James HS (Murrells Inlet) </strong></p>
<p>Nesbitt plays the game very deliberate and under-control from out top for the Sharks. Nesbitt doesn’t turn the ball and just plays a simple game of basketball. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="927557" first="Mike" last="Herrin"] (2021) - Socastee HS (Prep Hoops Region Player of the Year) </strong></p>
<p>Herrin a left-handed guard-wing can score the ball. Herrin has range out to the perimeter or has the ability to attack the rim. Herrin has the Braves going in the right direction here early into the season.</p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/77128BFB-059B-4E02-8080-06DB57150512.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1066556" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/77128BFB-059B-4E02-8080-06DB57150512-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="927564" first="Devin" last="Boston"] (2021) - Sumter HS </strong></p>
<p>Boston a long rangy combo forward is one of the senior leaders on this Gamecocks roster. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="840274" first="Marcus" last="Lane"] (2021) - Sumter HS</strong> </p>
<p>Lane is a water-bug point guard for the Gamecocks and just recently joined the team after playing football. Lane recorded 35 receptions this season on the football as a wideout. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1100080" first="Alphonso" last="Ortiz-Robles"] - St James HS (Murrells Inlet) </strong></p>
<p>Ortiz-Robles a left-handed guard has a bit of a old school game with a set shot. Ortiz-Robles 5’10 has a nice shooting stroke when he’s on. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/11D8A701-4713-40D7-9950-EE6A538D8DB5.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1100082" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/11D8A701-4713-40D7-9950-EE6A538D8DB5-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1100079" first="Dillon" last="Haire"] - St James HS (Murrells Inlet) </strong></p>
<p>Haire is best suited off the ball for the Sharks. Haire will pop off screens and use the head fake a lot to advance to the basket. </p>
