He's currently playing football on Friday nights this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hampton County HS </strong>- The Hurricanes are a new team in the Lowcountry after Wade Hampton HS and Estill HS merged together. The Hurricanes will have plenty of talent this season to make some noise in the Lower State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2023017,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/84DC01AA-7F6E-4C4F-B871-69152E25F4A4.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/84DC01AA-7F6E-4C4F-B871-69152E25F4A4.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2023017" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1363755' first='Kavon' last='Chisolm']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2023008' first='Cameron' last='Roberson']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1750474' first='Xavier' last='Garvin'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225770' first='Joshua' last='Goodman']</strong> are just a few names on this roster. Chisolm a bigtime football recruit will patrol the paint for the Hurricanes. He brings plenty of toughness and a rugged look to the floor. Roberson moved in this off season from the State of Maryland. He really fills the lane well in transition and brings a good motor to the floor. Garvin has made his way over from Estill HS with Chisolm. Xavier excels on the gridiron just Chisolm for the Hurricanes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2023019,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/B84EC8EC-BD91-4006-A184-10C22A21FA1F.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/B84EC8EC-BD91-4006-A184-10C22A21FA1F.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2023019" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goodman is a very versatile player from the perimeter. Joshua feels comfortable handling the rock, hitting jumpers, slashing to the cup, defending in the passing lanes and rebounding the ball on ends of the court.
