Jamie had a very strong showing this summer at the SC Live Team Camp in North Augusta. He will look to carry some more of the burden for new Head Coach Tanner Massey this coming season with the departure of Jones Lay to the Hoop State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brooks is a bit of a TWEENER on the floor where he can play inside-out and be equally effective with his play. Jamie is a slender-sleek forward who really can alter and challenge shots on the defensive end. He does a great job of running the floor and filling the lane in transition. Brooks has soft hands to catch anything thrown in his direction and has the ability to stop and knockdown the 3-ball when needed at times. Jamie averaged 14.5 ppg and 11.5 rebounds last season for the Armada. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Armada will play in the Class 2A ranks this season as a member of the SCHSL. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1463715"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c5a0f3beec3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schofield is back at Eau Claire this season with new Head Coach Junior Laurie. He previously played at Keenan HS last season. Cedric has been a bit under the radar in my opinion over the years since we first saw him come over from the Augusta, GA area. Schofield is a bit of a pogo stick around the bucket. He cleans up on the glass at both ends of the floor. Cedric plays the game with a very set of active hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cedric needs to finish better at times around the cup is extremely quick off the floor. He tends to play his best basketball closer to the bucket and staying active at all times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268662"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c5a0f3bef08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Poole is back at Chesnee HS for the Eagles. Coyie averaged 13.7 ppg last season for the Eagles in his return year. He played his sophomore season at Broome HS. Coyie shoots the ball at a good clip from the perimeter for Head Coach Zach Baldinelli. He certainly feels most comfortable playing off the ball and knocking down open shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Can the Eagles make some noise in the Upstate this coming season? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1356854"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c5a0f3bef5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ceasar is a player many throughout the state might not know much about outside of Clarendon County. Ceasar a left-handed guard has been a mainstay for the Monarchs in the backcourt over the years. Jeffrey averaged 17.6 ppg last season while dishing out 3.2 assists a night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ceasar wants to play fast and up-tempo at all times. He joined the 1,000-point club last season for the Monarchs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1157437"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c5a0f3bef9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lathon is a long and rangy forward with guard skills. Tahj likes to handle the rock at times up the floor for the Swamp Foxes. He brings good versatility to the floor with his ability to score inside-out at times. Tahj runs the floor very well and finishes in transition. He will stroke the mid-range jumper. Lathon plays extremely active on both ends of the floor with his play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lathon and the Swamp Foxes will battle in the same region with Atlantic Collegiate Academy and Manning HS this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1149794"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c5a0f3befd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Salley is gearing up for football season this fall. Ja'Kease a wide receiver plays his best basketball around the bucket for the Wolverines. The Run-Jump-Athlete plays the game with a good motor while on the floor for the Wolverines. He manufactures points on putbacks and effort close to the bucket. Ja'Kease is a quick leaper off the deck. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Salley averaged 17.8 ppg, 9.7 rebounds and 4.3 blocks last season for the Wolverines (17-11). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2384029' first='Jaylen' last='Bellamy']</strong> - Atlantic Collegiate Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bellamy a left-handed guard really enjoys playing the game in attack mode for the Armada. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1122272' first='Ziyon' last='Harris']</strong> - Blacksburg HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris averaged 10.6 ppg last season after making the move over from Gaffney HS. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239533' first='Caden' last='Edmond']</strong> - Central HS (Pageland)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edmond averaged 16 ppg last season for the Eagles.
