Watson is one of the more consistent players in Class AAA. Every night you can count on him to be a consistent threat in the Iron Horse backcourt. Robert earned his first offer from South Carolina State following a great showing at the SCBCA Live Team Camp. Last season, Watson averaged 11.5 Points Per Game, 4.7 Rebounds Per Game, 3.4 Assists, and 2.1 Steals Per Game, and he will be looking to improve on each of those in his all-important Senior Season.

Damon’s transfer to 3A Camden earns him a spot in this edition of our Super 7. Howey is one of the top shooters in the Class, but can also score off the dribble. Damon also offers some versatility in the backcourt being able to have a positive impact on and off the ball. It will be interesting to see the fit of Howey with the Bulldogs, but there is no doubt their talent will have something to say come playoff time.

Green has quick, long, strides and his hands are always ready for a pass.
