Hopper had an exceptional final year of High School Ball, piling up both the individual and team accolades. Afman is a very deserving member of the 2A All-State Team, having put up 14 points per game with over 70 makes from three, but he is the type of kid who will tell you the State Championship Trophy is the one that means the most to him.

Hopper Afman Hopper Afman 6'4" | SG/SF Philip Simmons | 2026 State SC starts off my list of stars from the 2025-26 SCHSL State Championships. Afman and the Philip Simmons Iron Horses were up first on Thursday, and despite their recent hot run, a lot of people saw them as the underdog. Hopper’s individual success was a huge factor in the win. It was defined by his excellent scoring package at 6’4″, spreading out the opposing defense with perimeter shooting while also making things happen off the dribble. Afman was a frequent target on designed sets, as both of his made threes came off a baseline out of bounds. He went on to put up 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals, and 2 drawn charges, winning the State Championship for the first time in school history.
