Tory Kelly Tory Kelly 6'0" | PG Gray Collegiate | 2022 State SC (2022) – Gray Collegiate
Kelly a senior leader for the War Eagles does it on the hardwood and the football field. Tory plays the game extremely well from the backcourt and is built like a TANK.
Calvin Hall Calvin Hall 6'2" | SG Gray Collegiate | 2022 State SC (2022) – Gray Collegiate
Hall is a sharp shooting guard who at times can play off the ball. Calvin has been a staple in the backcourt for the War Eagles over the years.
Zack Chalmers Zack Chalmers 6'4" | PG Newberry | 2022 State SC (2022) – Newberry HS
Chalmers didn’t play with the Bulldogs this past summer as he concentrated on football. Chalmers a Wide Receiver/Free Safety might look to go to the gridiron for the next level.
BJ Taylor (2022) – Eau Claire HS
Taylor is back to lead the Shamrocks after averaging 16 ppg last season.
Trai White Trai White 5'10" | PG Gray Collegiate | 2023 State SC (2023) – Gray Collegiate – Prep Hoops Preseason Region Player of the Year (pictured on front)
White is the floor general for the War Eagles basketball that really makes them go. Trai can bring great on the ball pressure or quickness in the open floor anytime he desires. White has no problems touching the paint and dishing out to the open teammate every time.
Jalen Jefferson Jalen Jefferson 6'2" | CG North | 2023 State SC (2023) – Gray Collegiate
Jefferson makes the jump up from North HS and Class 1A basketball. Jefferson a left-handed scoring guard averaged just over 20 ppg last season for the Eagles.
Avantae Parker Avantae Parker 6'9" | PF Gray Collegiate | 2023 State SC (2023) – Gray Collegiate
Parker is still coming into his own after coming over from White Knoll HS. Avantae a athletic forward works both sides of the floor with his ability to cover the glass on both ends.
Zion Wright Zion Wright 6'5" | SF Saluda | 2023 State SC (2023) – Saluda HS
Wright a rangy forward will be the go to man for the Tigers moving forward. Zion came on the scene a few years back behind his brother Dallan Wright Dallan Wright 6'1" | CG Saluda | 2020 State SC now at Virginia Tech.
Darius Elkins Darius Elkins 5'9" | PG Newberry | 2024 State SC (2024) – Newberry HS
Elkins a left-handed guard should see plenty of minutes this season for the Bulldogs. Darius a crafty point guard has the ability to knockdown shots on the perimeter. Prep Hoops first saw Elkins play this summer at the SCBCA Camp in Rock Hill with the Bulldogs.
