leading the way.
River Bluff HS – The Gators won the Class 5A State Championship last season over Dorman. The Gators lost several players to graduation. Who will be the leader of this new look team?
White Knoll HS – The Timberwolves will have some youth on its side to sneak out a few games here on given night.

(2022) – Dutch Fork HS – Prep Hoops Preseason Region Player of the Year
Jones helped the Silver Foxes make a deep run last season before falling in the playoffs. Houston is committed to play at Presbyterian College after his high school career is over. Jones is a quick shooting sniper on the perimeter for the Silver Foxes.

Smith a rangy forward can play inside-out on the floor. Octavious has a good motor and plays the game like a swiss army knife. Smith can do a bit of everything on the floor.

Green is receiving plenty of football recruitment from the backfield. Last I saw Green has over 1,400 yards this season for the Silver Foxes who have 61 games in a row. Green is a pesky guard backcourt for Head Coach Bret Jones.

(2024) – Lexington HS (pictured on front)
Scott is the best player in the 2024 Palmetto State. Scott a highly touted player has several High Major offers from around the United States already. Cameron is extremely skilled to take over a game at any time while on the floor. Scott will bring the ball up the floor, finish at the rim, rebound on both ends of the floor but better yet take a charge on command it seems.

Washington made the move over from Irmo HS from last season. Washington ran with the PCH Nightrydas SC on the Grassroots Circuit this past summer. Morgan is crafty with the ball in his hands and can finish at the rack with either hand.

(2025) – White Knoll HS
Maddox is the #1 player here in the 2025 Palmetto State (unofficial) since we don’t rank kids until after their freshmen season. Treyvon has great length and skill set to do about anything on the floor with the ball. Maddox will look to carry the Timberwolves as far he can this season.

Evans will be a nice compliment player to Maddox. Evans and Maddox both just freshmen will see plenty of playing time this coming season.

How much action will Pitts see for the Gators this season? Head Coach Ben Lee did unreal job last season with this Gators program.
