McKie 5’9 is a fearless guard with a great heart to win. McKie can really get into the gaps and doesn’t turn the ball over at all. McKie scored 17 points in his season opener vs White Knoll HS.
Robert Swanson – Myrtle Beach HS
Swanson 5’10 (great name – no relation) plays with a lot of savvy. Swanson won’t pass the eye test but he’s effective when it comes to shooting the ball at a high percentage.
