Powerdersville Win Silver Bracket
The size of Powdersville will be an issue for AAA Teams all year long. In the Silver Bracket Championship Game today, it was AAAAA Clover who was physically dominated by 2025 Big Hayden Assemian Hayden Assemian 6'8" | PF Powdersville | 2025 State #186 Nation SC . Assemian led the Patriots with 31 Points, 14 Reb, and 6 Block in a 72-66 Win at Bob Jones.
The Year of AAAA
In the State of South Carolina, AAAA is stacked for the Upcoming Season. Greenville, Eastside, Greer, Catawba Ridge, and North Augusta are all among the AAAA teams that impressed this weekend. The wild part is, all of these teams are in the Upper State. Come February, this class will be an absolute gauntlet.
Legacy Still a Top Team in SC
Whether it’s to other High Schools or to College, it’s no secret that Legacy lost a lot of talent this season. However, they retained a High Major recruit in Elijah Crawford Elijah Crawford 6'1" | PG Brewster Academy | 2024 State #169 Nation NLG that is one of the top players in the state and brought in a big-time scorer in Cole Hansen Cole Hansen 6'4" | SG Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC from Racine, Wisconsin. Both were in action for this Legacy group that went undefeated in Pool Play on Friday.
Fountain Inn Could Surprise Teams in AAA
Fountain Inn is a school I have been super high on since I got to see them in their first-ever Varsity Games last Winter. They return nearly the entire Varsity Roster, and the oldest class in the school right now is Juniors, so this group will have a lot of in-game experience. They have a very well-built team around Star PG DJ Martin DJ Martin 5'10" | PG Fountain Inn | 2025 State SC with shooters galore and a talented, athletic, big in Amaziah Austin Amaziah Austin 6'5" | PF Fountain Inn | 2025 State SC . They went 3-0 in Pool Play on Friday and fought tough with both Powdersville and Boiling Springs in Bracket Play on Saturday.
