Andrew Jackson HS – The Volunteers basketball season might have to be put a hold for a bit. The Volunteers will play in the 3rd Round of the Football Playoffs next week vs Barnwell HS. Senior Ghaleb Wilson Ghaleb Wilson 6'2" | SF Andrew Jackson | 2024 State SC has decided he will head to Francis Marion University o play his hoops after high school.

Jykevius Johnson Jykevius Johnson 6'4" | PF Andrew Jackson | 2025 State SC and Bryce Peterson Bryce Peterson 6'0" | PG Andrew Jackson | 2025 State SC are just 2 pieces to the puzzle for Head Coach Danny Wright to work with this season the hardwood. Johnson plays bigger than his size around the cup. He averaged 8.3 ppg and 7.2 rebounds last season. Peterson a point guard averaged 8.8 ppg from out top last season. He currently plays wide receiver on the football team.
Buford HS – Senior Aaron Morris is a name to keep an eye on here for the Yellow Jackets this season. Buford HS located in Lancaster County finished (7-15) last season. Morris averaged 15.3 ppg a season an ago. He currently has 39 receptions – 612 yards on the football field as a slot back.

Macklin a very athletic wing hasn’t reach his potential with his play. He averaged 12 ppg last season. Hunter is a physical post player with a great set of hands. Jordan averaged 5.4 ppg and 5.8 rebounds last season.
Senior guard Damon Howey has transferred in from over the bridge at Lugoff-Elgin HS. Howey has the ability to score the ball from the backcourt. Seniors Howey, Macklin and Hunter should have the Bulldogs trending upward some this season.
Camden Military – How will things turn out for the Spartans this year?
Indian Land HS – The Warriors (19-8) a season ago have plenty of scoring punch back in Mike Jones Mike Jones 5'9" | SG Indian Land | 2026 State SC and Sincere Rasul Sincere Rasul 6'0" | CG Indian Land | 2024 State SC . Sequel Patterson Sequel Patterson 5'11" | PG Indian Land | 2027 State SC a very promising football player and just a freshman should see good minutes this season for Head Coach LJ Johnson.
Jones a scoring guard can really pile up the points in a hurry. He averaged 20.2 ppg last season. Rasul provided 17.1 ppg and 3.8 rebounds last season for the Warriors.
Lancaster HS – The Bruins (27-4) a season have plenty of talent back in the saddle this season to make a run in Class 4A. Jordan Watford Jordan Watford 6'4" | CG Lancaster | 2025 State #180 Nation SC anchors this team with some very good talent around him. Ladarius Cloud Ladarius Cloud 5'9" | PG Great Falls | 2024 SC , Malik Tinsley Malik Tinsley 5'9" | PG Lancaster | 2026 State SC , Columbus Parker Columbus Parker 6'1" | CG Lancaster | 2026 State SC and RJ Brown RJ Brown 5'11" | CG Lancaster | 2026 State SC are just a few names here for the Bruins. Cloud and Brown are currently still playing football for the Bruins (3-9) heading into the 3rd round of the playoffs next weekend.
Lugoff-Elgin HS – The Demons lost Damon Howey Damon Howey 6'0" | CG Camden | 2024 State SC and Jeremaih McCain Jeremaih McCain 6'3" | CG Believe Prep | 2024 State SC this off season. Howey transferred to nearby Camden HS and McCain headed off to Believe Prep in Rock Hill. The Demons will rely on guards Nigel Chivers Nigel Chivers 5'11" | CG Lugoff-Elgin | 2025 State SC and point guard Braylen Mumford Braylen Mumford 5'6" | PG Lugoff-Elgin | 2025 State SC . The Demons (12-15) a season ago will surely have to replace some scoring in the lineup this season.
North Central HS – The Knights will have to look for someone to replace Kaleb Caldwell. Who could step up and have a big season? Ethan Diles Ethan Diles 6'5" | SF North Central | 2025 State SC is a name maybe here for the Knights to watch.
