Wade a slender-sleek wing player can really knockdown shots on the perimeter when he gets things going. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1590243,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/4-Matterius-Bell-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/4-Matterius-Bell-300x200.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1590243"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1497939' first='Matterius' last='Bell']</strong> - Faith Christian Academy (Summerville) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell and the Knights could be a real sleeper this season in SCISA Class 1A. Matterius a football player in the spring does a good job of getting the ball to the rack and playing a good mid-range game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1590240,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/1-Omari-Johnson-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/1-Omari-Johnson-300x200.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1590240"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1497940' first='Omari' last='Johnson']</strong> - Faith Christian Academy (Summerville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson and Bell are for sure the best 1-2 punch in SCISA Class 1A basketball this coming season. Omari who started his career at Cane Bay HS is back for his final ride with the Knights. Johnson a true point guard does a good job of seeing the floor and directing traffic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1357361,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/C78D56B0-FEB7-4AFA-B1A1-B93D3FF2CE27.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/C78D56B0-FEB7-4AFA-B1A1-B93D3FF2CE27-300x225.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1357361"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1356853' first='Nasir' last='Void']</strong> - Jefferson Davis Academy (Blackville) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nasir transferred last summer from Clarendon Hall to Jefferson Davis Academy.

Colson plays the game with a good feel and a pass first mentality from the lead guard spot. Head Coach Anthony Reitenhour is the new man in town to guide the Raiders this season after moving over from Clarendon Hall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
