He is well over 25 Points Per Game so far this season and is doing so while efficiently carrying the Falcon Offense. Stockman is a tough shot-maker who can score at all three levels of the floor. It is a surprise when he doesn't have multiple made threes in a game and nearly as surprising when his squad picks up a loss, as they sit at 17-6.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1482610' first='Mike' last='Jones'] (Indian Land HS) - [player_tooltip player_id='1482610' first='Mike' last='Jones'] should be a lock for All-State and he will make a push for 5A Class Player of the Year. At 23.2 Points Per Game, Jones is 6th in the state in scoring while shooting over 50% from the field. Last week, he had a 35-point, 6-6 3FG game to become the Warriors' All-Time Leading Scorer and go over 2,000 Career Points. However, it's not just the individual stats because Indian Land is 20-2 and is ranked #2 in the SCBCA 5A D2 Poll.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2367673' first='Sebi' last='Boyogueno'] (Riverside HS) - There is lots of buzz across the Upstate surrounding what [player_tooltip player_id='2367673' first='Sebi' last='Boyogueno'] is doing in his Junior Season at Riverside High School. He is another true-scoring threat, but he does it a little bit differently. Boyogueno has a very strong frame and puts so much pressure on the defense by scoring inside the three-point line or by getting to the free-throw line. He has had multiple 30-point performances this year and was selected Tournament MVP in multiple events for the #9 Warriors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1692243' first='Korie' last='Corbett'] (Ridge View HS) - [player_tooltip player_id='1692243' first='Korie' last='Corbett'] is the top prospect in South Carolina's 2026 Class and plays for one of the top teams in the state, defending 5A State Champs Ridge View High School. Although stats are not posted to MaxPreps, Korie has had multiple 20-point games over the last month and seems to play his best basketball on the biggest stages. He has developed a good jump shot and self-creation pieces, adding to his already strong skillset which features athleticism, defense, and intensity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1206191' first='Jake' last='Thomas'] (Oceanside Collegiate) - The addition of [player_tooltip player_id='1206191' first='Jake' last='Thomas'] list should show you how highly I value team success. The Oceanside Collegiate Academy Landsharks are the top team in 3A in both my opinion and the opinion of the SCBCA, and Thomas is their go-to guy. He has been having a good season, averaging 12.0 Points Per Game and 6.7 Rebounds Per Game. But, the Landsharks are 17-1 and haven't lost since mid-December so they deserve a First Team All-State selection, and I went with the 6'7" 210 lbs Junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
