Elijah Hall Elijah Hall 6'0" | CG North Augusta | 2023 State SC (2023) – North Augusta HS
Hall was a new name here today for Prep Hoops. He really came to play with his great mid-range game and smart shot selection. Elijah would get to his spots on the floor and always seemed to be around the ball to make a play.
Jamari Briggs Jamari Briggs 6'6" | CG Christ | 2024 State NC (2023) – Hartsville HS (pictured on front)
Briggs was able to finish with 19 points in an opening round win vs Dillon HS. Jamari uses his body control very well to the basket to fight off defenders. Briggs has a nice catch-shoot release from the perimeter with his ability to knockdown shots. Jamari has really filled out his frame in the past year and continues to get better each night out. Briggs came into the Pepsi Carolina Classic averaging 19 ppg for the Red Foxes.
Deuce Hudson Deuce Hudson 5'11" | PG West Florence | 2023 State SC (2023) – West Florence HS
Hudson and Lloyd provide a nice 1-2 punch in the backcourt for the Knights. This duo played all summer together on the Grassroots Circuit with the Carolina Bad Boyz. Deuce can really explode to the basket and switch hands nicely at the rim for the finish. Hudson a Quarterback also plays baseball in the springtime.
Darren Lloyd Darren Lloyd 5'8" | PG West Florence | 2023 State SC (2023) – West Florence HS
Lloyd is as tough as they come on the hardwood. Darren gets the ball to the cup or stop and pops from downtown. Darren won’t hesitate to sacrifice his body for a loose ball or even better a charge. Lloyd brings his football (running back) mentality over to the hardwood for the Knights. Darren scored 12 points in win today.
Jamarie Brown Jamarie Brown 6'3" | PG South Florence | 2024 State SC (2024) – South Florence HS
Brown has a knack to score the ball on the floor. Jamari will look to leak out at times for cheapies in transition when not shooting jumpers on the perimeter. Brown is just one piece of a very young and bright backcourt for Bruins Head Coach Aaron Stevens.
