Around the State: Darlington – Lee County

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The tour keeps going on and on throughout the Palmetto State. Next stop is up to the Pee Dee area of state. Let's enter into Darlington and Lee County. The area doesn't have many schools at all. Who are some of these schools we need to look into here? <strong><em>#RecruitThePalmettoState </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Schools in the Counties:</em></strong> Darlington HS, Hartsville HS, Lamar HS, Lee Central HS and Trinity Collegiate </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1989131,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/D1656DA6-3C9F-4F59-A6FA-6BE56940D733.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/D1656DA6-3C9F-4F59-A6FA-6BE56940D733.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1989131" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Darlington HS</strong> - The Falcons play in the SCHSL Class 3A level. Senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1242305' first='Michael' last='Green']</strong> is a great rim protector with plenty of length. Green runs the floor like a deer and covers a lot of ground. He's an extremely quick leaper who will look to swat away anything thrown into his direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1370585,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/667A5CFB-422D-4A47-9554-D97B5E69BAA8.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/667A5CFB-422D-4A47-9554-D97B5E69BAA8.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1370585" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='986186' first='Keenan' last='Dubose']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2059497' first='Maleek' last='Taylor']</strong> give the Falcons two viable options on this roster. Dubose brings some outside shooting while Taylor can play active around the cup and stalk the baseline at times. [player_tooltip player_id='2367665' first='Deron' last='Ross'] is a youngster to keep tabs on in the years to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hartsville HS</strong> - The Red Foxes have a new Head Coach in Jason Earle this season. What will the Red Foxes have on the roster? The Red Foxes lost in the SCHSL Class 4A Lower State Championship Game to Irmo HS last February 54-38. The Red Foxes finished (14-14) a year ago. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lamar HS</strong> - The Silver Foxes finished (3-19) last season.

The Stallions finished (10-15) a season ago.

The Titans will lean on <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1444326' first='Landon' last='Wilson']</strong> and senior guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1808938' first='Courtlyn' last='Brunson']</strong> to lead the way. Wilson has a knack for the scoring the rock from the backcourt. Brunson a 3-sport athlete currently is excelling on the gridiron. Brunson and Wilson will provide the Titans a nice 1-2 punch this season in SCISA Class 4A. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2354712' first='Evan' last='Williams']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2354724' first='Jy'ell' last='Preston']</strong> will look to provide support to the Titans roster and Head Coach Marcus Sikes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
