Senior Nakeem Isaac Nakeem Isaac 6'4" | SF Sumter | 2022 State SC Takes Over
Nakeem Isaac Nakeem Isaac 6'4" | SF Sumter | 2022 State SC really stepped up his game tonight with 26 points in the Gamecocks victory. Isaac can really create a mismatch on the floor with his size. Nakeem is a bit deceptive for his size and really has the ability to bully defenders on the way to the basket. He does a great job of rebounding the ball on both ends of the floor. Nakeem has a soft touch and shows to have above average passing skills when handling the rock.

Panthers Seniors
Carolina Forest HS was missing a key piece to the lineup Mikah Nelson Mikah Nelson 6'5" | SF Carolina Forest | 2022 State SC . Nelson has been out the past few weeks with an injury. Nelson and teammate Jonah Nesmith Jonah Nesmith 6'5" | SF Carolina Forest | 2022 State SC have been a nice tandem with Debruhl this season. Nesmith a rangy guard-wing was taking some of the ball-handling duties tonight from the backcourt. Nesmith seems to be the most effective out on the wing or stalking the baseline.
