Ashton Arnold Memorial Tourney: 2025 Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops took in the opening action from here in the Upstate at the Ashton Arnold Memorial Tourney this past weekend. Who were some members of the 2025 Palmetto State Class to keep a eye on down the road? Well, we have some names for you right here on your source for basketball coverage in the Palmetto State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>1 SC Elite 2025 Cruise in Opener:</em></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1 SC Elite 2025 cruised in its opener vs the SC Sixers. The Red/White and Black based out of the Greenville area jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1738026' first='Jaquavious' last='Dodd']</strong> a left-handed forward already has a good look to him for his young age and some great footwork. Dodd runs the floor like a deer and shows to have good hands and a willingness to stay active at all times on the floor. He really looks to defend all over the floor and especially at times on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1888806,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/26EF236B-2F68-408A-87C3-06249AC2DC9E.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/26EF236B-2F68-408A-87C3-06249AC2DC9E.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1888806" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239534' first='Bryson' last='Drummond']</strong> was all over the floor creating some havoc for his squad. Bryson picked up several deflections today and easy buckets heading the other way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1888804,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/0C0BDA6D-1B95-4257-97BE-68D0F611F64C.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/0C0BDA6D-1B95-4257-97BE-68D0F611F64C.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1888804" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239537' first='Isaiah' last='Henry']</strong> recently made the move over to Greer HS after playing at J.L. Mann HS this past season. Henry a left-handed guard made several plays on the way to the bucket today. He really looks to play the game in attack mode. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1884751,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/D14AE109-BE8A-49E1-84F3-41480A8F0302.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/D14AE109-BE8A-49E1-84F3-41480A8F0302.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1884751" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239535' first='Amaziah' last='Austin'] </strong>played this past season at Fountain Inn HS after starting his career at J.L. Mann HS. Austin really looks to go to work inside while drawing some contact on the way. Amaziah will play physical while posting up with his back to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Countyline Elite Has Talent: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1884750,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/3F9FF177-32DF-47A6-A95A-38C4DF0E4EBC.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/3F9FF177-32DF-47A6-A95A-38C4DF0E4EBC.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1884750" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Countyline Elite based out of Greenwood-Abbeville area has some solid talent coming up the ranks in the years to come. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766178' first='Jeremiah' last='Brooks'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1888745' first='Damarcus' last='Leach']</strong> made some noise tonight in an opening round victory. Brooks was able to create his own shot while creating for others on the floor. Jeremiah showed a good feel for the game and some nice court awareness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1888805,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/FF7D5298-BDB9-4E3C-BC00-3C8558525DBB.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/FF7D5298-BDB9-4E3C-BC00-3C8558525DBB.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1888805" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leach was a man down low at times with his ability to play with a high motor. He was extremely active on the boards while finishing around the cup. This local Grassroots team really opened some eyes with their play this past weekend at the Ashton Arnold Memorial Tourney. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
