Elton brings a long wingspan and some quick feet to the table. He moves very well all over the floor looking to stalk the baseline and trying to dunk everything in sight. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elton averaged 7.8 ppg, 9.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elton is a quick leaper who can challenge and alter shots on the defensive end of the floor. He can finish around rim with a soft touch. Elton looks like he's gliding over the floor at times with long frame. He has great passing skills and vision for his size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Can the Cardinals repeat in SCISA Class 4A this season? The Cardinals finished (21-15) a season ago. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1364910"],"_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-66ed5e25a05c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Braysen plays the game with some swag and a lot of confidence on the floor. Stockman is the leader of this Falcons squad for Head Coach Jay Reid. Braysen is very crafty with the ball in his hands and finding the open man. He will at times take some tough shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stockman will use the crossover move to attack the cup from the left-side of the basket. He does a nice job of changing gears and switching directions. Braysen will absorb contact on the way to the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Braysen averaged 20.4 ppg, 10.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists a season ago for the Hawks (13-13). He enters his junior season with 1,277 points, 587 rebounds and 228 assists in a Hawks uniform. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1687284"],"_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-66ed5e25a060c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">T (Tilden) hasn't played on the Grassroots Circuit the past few seasons. He plays 3 sports for the Indians including football and baseball. The left-handed Riley does his best work around the basket. He finishes putbacks and cleans up on the glass. Riley a combo forward more of a 4/3 type can step-out to the short corner for a jumper from time to time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riley averaged 14.5 ppg and 12.4 rebounds last season for the Indians (18-8). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1303625"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2458470,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-66ed5e25a0648"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daylin just like his brother Jaiden has really good success on the gridiron for the Skyhawks. Daylin is a very athletic slashing guard. He started off his career at Blythewood HS before going the SCISA route. The left-handed Haltiwanger will have strong takes to the cup and at times throws in a nice euro-step move. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1669895"],"_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-66ed5e25a067f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slawson runs the show from out top for the Panthers and longtime Head Coach Pat Eidson. Jonathan isn't flashy at all with his play. He plays under control and makes good decisions all game long. Slawson can knockdown the open jumper when it comes his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jonathan averaged 9.2 ppg and 4.4 assists a season ago for the Panthers (22-11). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1242285' first='Ford' last='Wilder'] </strong>- Wilson Hall (Sumter)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilder will look to add onto his stats this season after averaging 6.5 ppg last year for the Barons. Ford a wing player has gotten stronger and started to fill out some over the past year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1692417' first='Kamauri' last='Hunter']</strong> - Heathwood Hall </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hunter is a bit of pest on the floor and that's in the nicest way possible saying. Kamauri likes to chat up with his competitive nature. He certainly wants to push the tempo and never leaves the floor for the Highlanders. Hunter is quite quick from end to end with the ball in his hands. He's the VOCAL leader on this Highlanders roster for Head Coach Brian Benator. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1916763' first='Vashahd' last='Schofield']</strong> - Andrew Jackson Academy (Ehrhardt)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schofield a left-handed forward makes the move to SCISA from Barnwell HS. Vashahd plays his best basketball around the basket collecting rebounds and second chance buckets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1806908' first='Ty' last='Kennedy']</strong> - Greenwood Christian </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedy is back for the Hawks this season in the Upstate. Ty is an undersized shooting guard. Kennedy averaged 13.6 ppg and 4.4 rebounds last season for the Hawks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1806905' first='Cordell' last='Sims'] </strong>- Ragin Prep (Sumter)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sims and his Rams teammates lost in the State Semifinals last season to Riverpointe Christian. The left-handed Sims likes to get the rock downhill to the bucket. Cordell plays very active in the passing lanes picking up several deflections along the way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
