He made the jump from #25 to #12 in this latest update of the 2026 Palmetto State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's currently averaging 18.7 ppg, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 steals while shooting 43.1% from three-point range and 55.2% from the floor. Sebi can really explode to the cup and score the ball while in attack mode. He really does a nice job of playing the game at all 3 levels on the floor. He has good court vision to penetrate-kick to an open teammate at times or simply finish going to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Warriors play Greenville HS in 3rd Round of the SCHSL Class 5A-Division 2 Playoffs Wednesday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1172573"],"_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-67bd72d9caa92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ja'Quell excels in the transition game and getting the ball to the cup. He really likes to and looks to finish on the left-side of the basket a lot of the time. Ja'Quell will take a charge on command at times it seems for the Gators. He does a nice job of turning the corner and racing to the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He made the move up from #24 to #16 this time around. Ja'Quell is currently averaging 19.7 ppg, 4.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists for the Gators (23-3). The Gators play Myrtle Beach HS in the 3rd Round of the SCHSL Class 5A-Division 2 Playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560921"],"_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-67bd72d9caad4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ball has been a nice addition to the roster for the War Eagles since arriving the Lone Star State this last fall. Levi has made the jump up from #46 to #18 in this latest update of the 2026 Palmetto State Rankings and Stock-Risers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Levi will play down in the post when needed for the War Eagles and Head Coach Carlos Powell. He does a nice job of sealing off his defender and crashing the glass on both ends of the floor. Levi will finish at time rim on putbacks and just outworking defenders at times. He looks to rebound outside of his area when needed and surely won't hesitate at all when it comes to taking a charge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ball is averaging 13.1 ppg and 8.1 rebounds this season for the War Eagles (19-7). Gray Collegiate plays North Augusta HS this evening in the SCHSL 3rd Round of the Class 4A State Playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2457406"],"_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-67bd72d9cab0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eli had a great season for the Eagles as he finished up the season as Co-Player of the Year in Class 2A. Eli averaged 21.4 ppg, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists this season for the Eagles (21-6) and Head Coach Zach Baldinelli. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown a left-handed player is a deceptive athlete who brings good efficiency to the table. Eli really sees the floor well from out top and makes crisp passes along the way. He really seems to sport a bit of an old-school game at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eli made the move up from #35 to #22 in this latest update of the Palmetto State Rankings. This Stock-Riser surely won't be stopping here with another year of basketball left to go. </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":"","_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-67bd72d9cab49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daylin is a fierce competitor for the Skyhawks. He really likes to play his game going to the basket and finishing at the rim. He brings a relentless and aggressive style to the floor at all times. Daylin can get downhill to the bucket with a quick first step he tends to show. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daylin finds himself playing football in the fall for the Skyhawks. He made the move up from #45 to #36 in this latest edition of Stock-Risers. Daylin does a great job of playing and absorbing contact on the way to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2044349"],"_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-67bd72d9cab80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trevon and the Tigers fell short in the 2nd Round of the Class 5A-Division 2 Playoffs to Westwood HS this season. Johnson was named Region Player of the Year for his work this past season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trevon a shifty quick point guard can touch the paint and get the ball into the gaps. He really has a quick set of hands to be disruptive on the defensive end of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trevon made the move up from #97 to #70 in this latest edition of Stock-Risers. He averaged 12.6 ppg, 3.9 rebounds, 3 steals and 2.1 assists this past season for the Tigers (22-5). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
