Davis a long and rangy guard plays the game extremely unselfish from the backcourt. Zachary had 12 rebounds and 6 assists while scoring 20 points today with Prep Hoops in attendance. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="930643" first="Cyrus" last="Ellison"] - Hannah Pamplico HS (pictured on front)</strong></p> <p>Ellison helped the Red Raiders to a (2-1) tourney record. Ellison has a great frame and just looks to overpower defenders at times. Cyrus is a physical specimen already from the win position for the Red Raiders. Ellison looks to be playing football at the college level most likely as a wide receiver. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/F4FE1793-C60A-455E-A5D3-ECB2CD4DF451.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1350806" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/F4FE1793-C60A-455E-A5D3-ECB2CD4DF451-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>Russell Brunson Jr - Calhoun County HS (St Matthews) </strong></p> <p>Russell helped the Saints to a (3-0) mark here at the SC Class A Showcase. Brunson a left-handed guard really likes to play the game with a physical aspect at times. Russell a Quarterback in the Fall football season for the Saints also provides direction on the hardwood for the Saints. Brunson scored 30 points in one of the games from here this week. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/B0A07FC0-3FE7-439C-BC1C-1A2048CE44B8.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1350802" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/B0A07FC0-3FE7-439C-BC1C-1A2048CE44B8-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1314265" first="Deuce" last="Capers"] - Bamberg-Ehrhardt HS </strong></p> <p>Capers really came to play today despite losing an opening round game to McCormick HS. Capers scored 29 points and did his damage inside-out on the floor. Deuce has a long and wiry frame and plays like a pogo-stick at times. Deuce has a long wingspan and the ability to be a quick leaper. He was able to drop a few three pointers today for the Red Raiders. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/D0F9BE9B-CC4D-4DDD-8F5C-C1432619A463.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1353939" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/D0F9BE9B-CC4D-4DDD-8F5C-C1432619A463-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1156302" first="Jamorie" last="Ellis"] - Hemingway HS </strong></p> <p>Ellis helped the Tigers to a (3-0) tourney record this week. Jamorie was able to get the ball to the basket and into the paint fairly easily at times today. He was active in the passing picking up deflections and finishing drives to the basket. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/2D7CAD50-7A85-4857-9328-CA1EB9EECD8E.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1353942" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/2D7CAD50-7A85-4857-9328-CA1EB9EECD8E-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1353925" first="Tyreek" last="Brown"] - Hemingway HS</strong></p> <p>Brown really showed to have a nice mid-range game popping off a few short jumpers today. Brown and the Tigers made a strong showing here this week with its perfect record in the event. Tyreek managed to be a high percentage shooter with his shot selection.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/8FED6FCC-EF99-48E9-BCEA-505D6538C02A.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1353940" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/8FED6FCC-EF99-48E9-BCEA-505D6538C02A-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1350732" first="Jordan" last="Williams"] - Johnsonville HS </strong></p> <p>Williams a point guard makes the engine go for the Golden Flashes on both ends of the floor. Jordan was able to score the ball at the cup and leak out for some cheapies in transition at times today. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/5F5F0375-97D6-4CB2-B42B-1DA5E594B387.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1350804" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/5F5F0375-97D6-4CB2-B42B-1DA5E594B387-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="594076" first="Tevin" last="Young"] - Carvers Bay HS </strong></p> <p>Young was just great today in a win over Denmark-Olar HS. Tevin eclipsed 32 points vs the Vikings. Young is like the Energizer Bunny at times he just never turns it off while on the floor. Tevin scored buckets at the rim and was able to attack the paint on several occasions today. Young isn’t the biggest kid on the floor by no means, but he sure makes up for it with confidence and effort when he plays. Tevin is extremely quick end to end with the ball in his hands. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/39FF9657-7332-47B2-8427-7567ABFD53FB.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1353941" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/39FF9657-7332-47B2-8427-7567ABFD53FB-300x169.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="930654" first="Christian" last="White"] - Military Magnet (North Charleston) </strong></p> <p>White looks to score and has to score the ball for the Eagles to make them go. Christian was able to create his own shot while dialing in from downtown a few times today. White a slender-sleek shooting guard did his best job trying to keep his Eagles squad in the game. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/206123D6-8FCF-4F31-9596-581D55E866F9.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1350799" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/206123D6-8FCF-4F31-9596-581D55E866F9-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1350731" first="Ty" last="Moon"] - Calhoun Falls Charter </strong></p> <p>Moon is a great compliment to [player_tooltip player_id="1350729" first="Ty" last="Turman"] in the Blue Flashes backcourt. Ty has a stocky sturdy frame on his way to scoring 17 points today in a win over Whale Branch HS. Moon plays football in the fall and shares the backfield at times with Turman. Moon does a good job of setting his feet and getting his shot off from behind the arc. Can the Blue Flashes make some noise in the Upper State this season? </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="976897" first="Cameron" last="Weston"] - Pee Dee Academy </strong></p> <p>Weston was setting up shop in the corners and out on the perimeter all day long for the Eagles. Cameron settled for shooting mostly three pointers it seemed all day long. Weston is very wiry athlete for the Eagles. </p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">#RecruitThePalmettoState</span></p>
