He is a key piece on the 20-2 Fort Mill Yellow Jackets who are ranked 1st in the SCBCA 5A D2 Poll. Jermier averages 12.0 Points Per Game and 1.3 Assists Per Game, but it's arguably his defense that makes him so important to this team with his 2.6 Rebounds Per Game and 1.0 Steals Per Game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2460128' first='Maison' last='Logan'] (Military Magnet Academy) - Military Magnet Academy has had some struggles during the 2024-25 Season, but they have found stability winning five of their last six. One major factor behind that is [player_tooltip player_id='2460128' first='Maison' last='Logan']. Maison averages a team-high 11.6 Points Per Game and has the freedom of seeking his own shots when he's on the floor but is most efficient when he spots up off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2433116' first='Antoine' last='Caughman Jr'] (Keenan HS) - [player_tooltip player_id='2433116' first='Antoine' last='Caughman Jr'] is already a key piece to the 3rd-ranked 3A Keenan Raiders. He is second on the team in scoring at 11.7 Points Per Game, second in rebounding at 5.9 Rebounds Per Game, and first in steals at 2.9 Steals Per Game. Antoine is an exciting physical prospect with a high ceiling for playmaking on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2405568' first='Brice' last='Wiersma'] (TL Hanna HS) - [player_tooltip player_id='2405568' first='Brice' last='Wiersma'] has been a double-double machine for the TL Hanna Yellow Jackets this season and would be a clear pick for a Freshman All-State Team. His big frame helps him dominate the paint on both ends of the floor. He is also skilled enough to step outside and knock down jump shots or create off the dribble. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2469361' first='Bryson' last='Schofield'] (White Knoll HS) - Last up is [player_tooltip player_id='2469361' first='Bryson' last='Schofield'], another forceful Freshman who sets up shop in the paint. He leads the White Knoll Timberwolves at 13.8 Points Per Game and 5.8 Rebounds Per Game. Listed at 6'5", Bryson doesn't tower over most matchups but is an instinctual rebounder and persistent scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
