This, along with the departure of Head Coach Hercules Davis to the College Ranks, leaves the door wide open for Class A. Could it be Abbeville High School, last year's runner up led by [player_tooltip player_id='1848143' first='Jaden' last='Baylor']? Or the uber-talented CA Johnson with [player_tooltip player_id='2673795' first='Aissacc' last='Germany'], [player_tooltip player_id='1848632' first='Tony' last='Odom'], and [player_tooltip player_id='2149135' first='Milton' last='McCray']? Maybe even a Bethune-Bowman, Horse Creek Academy, or McBee? <strong>Take a look at my preseason predictions for Class 1A:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 1A Player of the Year:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1848143' first='Jaden' last='Baylor'] (Abbeville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 1A Most Improved Player of the Year:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1731639' first='DJ' last='Harper'] (McBee)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 1A Newcomer of the Year:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2630772' first='Armani' last='Jones'] (Horse Creek Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 1A Region Players of the Year:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 1: [player_tooltip player_id='1848143' first='Jaden' last='Baylor'] (Abbeville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 2: [player_tooltip player_id='2673795' first='Aissacc' last='Germany'] (CA Johnson)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 3: [player_tooltip player_id='2554843' first='Aidan' last='Walls'] (Horse Creek Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 4: <strong>Brian McMillan</strong> (Bamberg-Erhardt)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 5: [player_tooltip player_id='2211021' first='Terrance' last='McFadden'] (Bethune-Bowman)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 6: [player_tooltip player_id='2951173' first='Shayon' last='Mcgruder'] (Latta)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 1A Preseason Top 5 Teams:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.
