RJ really does his best attacking the cup and shows to have great body control on the way to the basket. LCE 2024 played up at times this weekend. RJ averaged 19 ppg on the weekend. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/3AA11ED4-F886-482A-BECF-E76B61850FB9.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1265591" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/3AA11ED4-F886-482A-BECF-E76B61850FB9-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1265433" first="Qayden" last="Turner"] - Hilton Head Christian - H2 Elite 15U </strong></p> <p>Turner had a strong showing and made quite a good first impression after moving down to the Palmetto State. Turner attended Huntington HS (WV) last year. Turner a football Wide Receiver will be welcomed addition to the Eagles basketball team. Qayden already has a good look and frame to him at a young age. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1172559" first="Sully" last="Gay"] - Beaufort Academy - H2 Elite 15U (pictured on front) </strong></p> <p>Gay saw plenty of action last season for the Eagles in the SCISA Class 2A ranks. Gay was able to post up down low and play with his back to the basket at times. Sully was able to score the ball when given the opportunity today at ease. Gay averaged 14.5 ppg on the weekend and helped the Low Country based team from the Hilton Head area to a (4-0) weekend. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/6DAC512F-87C6-44FF-A1C0-11A4E5FF7E40.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1265593" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/6DAC512F-87C6-44FF-A1C0-11A4E5FF7E40-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1051825" first="Amari" last="Washington"] - North Charleston HS - North Charleston HS </strong></p> <p>Washington will suit up for the North Charleston HS Cougars and new Head Coach Tony Eady.
