<p>The 803 has long been a cornerstone of South Carolina high school basketball, with the Midlands producing standout talent across multiple classifications year after year. This season's SCBCA All-State teams once again highlight the depth of the region, featuring players who led their teams and made a major impact throughout the year. Here's a look at the selections from the 803 who earned All-State recognition.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">First up among the All-State Players from the 803 Area Code is [player_tooltip player_id='2313892' first='Chanze' last='Allen']. Allen was a massive piece to the puzzle for Fox Creek this season, transferring in to join the Predators during the offseason. He put up 13.2 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game, and 1.9 steals per game, winning the Region 4-3A Player of the Year Award, and helping lead the school to their first State Championship Appearance since 2015.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Levi was named Region 4-4A Player of the Year, along with earning All-State honors this season. His numbers might not be glaring, but his combination of consistency, efficiency, and a well-rounded game is what made him such a valuable player for Gray Collegiate. He shot it at over 55% from the field and 40% from three, and he certainly projects as someone who can help win games at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Another easy choice for the SCBCA All-State Team from the Columbia area is Bell. Justus led the Silver Foxes at 19.5 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game, easily winning the Region 4-5A Player of the Year Award. He was a difficult matchup for most teams in the region, combining a stout interior presence with improved perimeter skills.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hampton County was one of the few teams that had multiple All-State players this year, with Darius being the first up in this list. He was their leading scorer this season at 16.1 points per game, doing so with solid athleticism and a strong frame. Brooks' game was built to excel in Class 2A, but that doesn't mean he can be an impact player in the college game, too.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1486213' first='BJ' last='Brown'] had one of the best senior seasons of the decade, so far. Region 5-5A was arguably the most talented in the entire state, but BJ was clearly the best player every night as he put up 25.3 points per game on 52% field goal shooting and 43% three-point field goal shooting. Even if you took out his career-high 47-point night against Westwood in February, he probably still makes this list pretty easily.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">If there was one, Mark would be up for All-Defense Team along with his All-State pick. He blocked two and a half shots a game this season, while also averaging a double-double with points and rebounds. Caslaru's length as a factor in each and every game, but his growth offensively to match his defensive dominance is what earned him recognition among the best in the state. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A sophomore Shooting Guard from the Midlands who made a SCBCA All-State team is Antoine. After a breakout freshman season, he followed it up with a stellar second year, where he saw much more volume and playmaking responsibilities. Among the other awards he added to the mantle this season are Region 4-3A Player of the Year and 1,000 Career Points.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Clark is one of the most off-the-radar players in this list. Playing for 1A Branchville High School, which has a reported attendance of just 320 students, Zion was able to make his name known outside of just his small town. He did so through a near state-leading 5.4 steals per game, along with a very impressive 19.4 points per game. Clark is as savvy as they come, on both ends of the floor, as was rightly honored with a spot on the 2025-26 All-State team this year. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Speaking of near state-leading numbers, that's exactly what Clyburn did on the glass this season. He put up a dominant 15.3 rebounds per game in his senior year, dominating the boards on both ends of the floor each and every time he took to the floor. Although he has solid size, there are plenty of bigger and more athletic players than Zeke in the state, so it was quite impressive to see the numbers he put up on a nightly basis.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The 5A Division 2 State Champs had two players named to the SCBCA All-State team. One of them was Crews, their primarily off-ball guard who can fill it up with jumpers in a hurry. That's what he did not only in the Championship Game, but the entire season long. Jayden was also a surprisingly good rebounder, which proved to be important for the Redhawks for stretches throughout the season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Although I didn't get to see Jalen in person this season, I watched some of his film and was extremely impressed by the junior guard. He did it all for the Lions, putting up team highs in points per game (19.1), rebounds per game (5.2), assists per game (3.3), and steals per game (3.1) in a strong Class A Region.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">RJ took a massive step this season, going from a fringe starter/role player in 2024-25 to a star player and All-State honoree in 2025-26. It was clear to see this was his potential from a young age, but it's still great to see him put in the work to get better during the offseason. His combination of length and athleticism is a matchup nightmare for most teams in the state, on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The only freshman to make a 2025-26 SCBCA All-State Team is [player_tooltip player_id='2566640' first='Sheldon' last='Davis']. Davis had a fantastic second season on varsity for the Knights, winning Region 5-4A Offensive Player of the Year and being named First Team All-Region. His numbers were ridiculous for any player, but when you factor in his age, Sheldon's 20.2 points per game, 8.3 rebounds per game, 2.5 assists per game, and 2.1 steals per game are all the more eye-catching. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This Converse University commit made the Class AAA All-State Team. He is one of six in-state Valkyries in this cycle, but he is one who has a high upside because of his frame and athleticism.

<p class="text-gray-700">The other stellar sophomore forward who made an All-State team this year for the Blazers is CJ. Moore is slightly more raw as a player, but there are very few teams that can match up with Ridge View's talent across the board. He put up 13 points per game, 7 rebounds per game, 2 steals per game, and 3 blocks per game during the regular season, while boasting one of the highest ceilings in the state.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">When it comes to breakout season, Jermier's 2025-26 season is up there with the biggest of them. He had a remarkable sophomore year, going for 20 points and almost 3 steals a night against some of the best competition in the state. Along with this spot on the 5A All-State Team, Nelson was also named Region 3-5A Player of the Year and received his first offer from East Carolina.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sequel may be headed off to Columbia to play football for Head Coach Shane Beamer, but don't get it twisted, he had a monster senior season on the hardwood and certainly could've played basketball at the next level if he wanted to. Some of the most impressive performances that I saw live this season came from Patterson, as he went on to average 18.5 points a game on 44% 3FG. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The success of Raymon has been well-documented during his time as a Stallion, but it was nice to see him go out with a deep playoff run and an All-State selection. Tre had to put his team on his back at times throughout the season, and he was one of the highest scorers in the state with 21.7 points per game as he crossed over 2,000 career points.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">When you are combing through the numbers, Christian's numbers are ones that really jump out at you. The junior guard put up 26.9 points per game, 3.7 assists per game, and 4.8 steals per game, pushing for the state lead in several categories. Rivera and the Vikings had a strong end to the region season, so look for them to build on it as the attention turns to 2026-27.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kolton is a guy who put himself on my radar early in the season, but has only continued to rise up it over the past four months. He had a very solid year in Pelion, leading the Panthers in points per game (17.9), rebounds per game (11.1), and blocks per game (1.7). His versatility is what makes him special, as he's able to make his presence felt in many ways on the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The other Hampton County Hurricane who was named to the 2A All-State team is Solomon. Jacquain had one of the most remarkable seasons of any three-point shooters, as he made 60 of his 123 attempts (49%) from the perimeter in 2025-26. Although his calling card is shooting, Solomon is also a solid athlete and defends the point of attack well.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Westwood's Point Guard was an easy choice for the All-State Team. The 5A D2 State Champs were more than deserving of two spots on the list, and Thomas' night-in, night-out consistency was crucial to their success. D'Marcus had a great feel for when it was time to get his teammates involved or when it was time to take over, so it's no surprise to see him get the recognition he deserves.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Another one of the state's elite Point Guards this year was Tinsley. Despite his stature, Malik was clearly the best player on the floor in almost every matchup for the Bruins this season. He went for 18.8 points per game, but he was also a dynamic playmaker in an offense that needed it. Keep an eye on Tinsley to be an elite four-year player at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Justin had an excellent season leading the line for the 3A Lower State Champions. The Predators won 25 games while Vining averaged 12 points per game and almost 5 assists per game. There were a lot of mouths to feed offensively, but Justin did a solid job of balancing the shots while also saving some for himself. Keep an eye on Vining to be one of the best Point Guards in the state in 2026-27. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Webb and the Yellow Jackets were able to avenge their loss in the State Championship Game a year ago, making it back to the final and lifting the trophy this time around. He was one of their most impactful players all season because of his two-way skills. Quh'Mareon's length, speed, defensive desire, and unselfish playmaking are all things that stand out when you watch him play. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">It was a disappointing 2025-26 season for the Allendale-Fairfax Tigers, but Jaden was a bright spot for them. He was their best player and led them in many categories, so despite the team's success, he was more than deserving of individual accolades.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Rounding out the list of All-State players from the 803 is Johnson & Wales Commit [player_tooltip player_id='1848084' first='Antwon' last='Young']. This was Antwon's second selection to the 2A All-State Team, plus he was a four-year All-Region player and scored over 1,500 points at York Prep. He is a high-level athlete with an impressive frame, so he could be a solid player over the course of his career in Charlotte.</p>
