2023-24 Class AAAA Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oh boy is Class AAAA going to be fun this year. This might be as even and talented of a class as we have had in the state in years. The defending State Champs, Irmo, lost a lot of production but at the same stage last year no one expected them to win it all either. There are multiple potential Division 1 Players at every grade in this class including [player_tooltip player_id='1172765' first='Julen' last='Iturbe'], [player_tooltip player_id='1172558' first='Justin' last='Ray'], [player_tooltip player_id='1145334' first='Jordan' last='Watford'], [player_tooltip player_id='1466665' first='Tre' last='Raymon'], [player_tooltip player_id='1692243' first='Korie' last='Corbett'], and the most intriguing of them all: Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1486211' first='Josh' last='Leonard']. And come playoff time, it's going to be an absolute gauntlet and I can't wait for it. <strong>Take a look at some of my predictions for Class AAAA this year: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AAAA Region Players of The Year:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 1 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1489409' first='Ramani' last='Bruton'] (Greenville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 2 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1172765' first='Julen' last='Iturbe'] (Riverside)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 3 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1145334' first='Jordan' last='Watford'] (Lancaster)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 4 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1157438' first='Daron' last='Dunbar'] (North Augusta)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 5 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1692243' first='Korie' last='Corbett'] (Ridge View)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 6 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1486211' first='Josh' last='Leonard'] (Wilson)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 7 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1038227' first='RJ' last='Simmons'] (James Island)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AAAA Player of the Year:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1145334' first='Jordan' last='Watford'] (Lancaster)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AAAA Most Improved Player of the Year:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1491010' first='TJ' last='Bell'] (Westwood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AAAA Breakout Freshman/Sophmore:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1206192' first='Quh'mareon' last='Webb'] (Catawba Ridge)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Top 5 Teams:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.
