<p>Prep Hoops spent Saturday at the Sizzlin Summer Shootout in Greenville at Bob Jones University. The event featured 3 pool games plus 2 bracket games on Saturday. The Sizzlin Summer Shootout featured 24 teams in the event hosted by Greenville HS. Still trying to fix somethings with my photos. Sorry about that. </p> <p><strong>Bryce McGowens</strong>, <strong>Josh Owens</strong>, <strong>Patrick Iriel</strong> and <strong>Robert McCray</strong> all sat out the Sizzlin Summer Shootout this weekend. </p> <p><strong>Jaquarious "JQ" Jones</strong> had unofficial 28 points in the game vs Legacy Early College. The Red Raiders were missing a few kids like several others teams with 7 on 7 Football going on I nthe Palmetto State. <strong>Ben Jones</strong> (2020) stayed hot with his play for the Red Raiders today. </p> <p>The Legacy Early college Lions finished the weekend at (5-0) under Head Coach BJ Jackson. The Lions added a few new pieces to the puzzle this season in <strong>Jacobi Wright</strong> (2021) and <strong>Ike Cornish</strong> (2021). Wright ranked #3 in the Prep Hoops Palmetto State Class played last season at Fort Mill HS. Cornish 6'5 comes to the Lions after playing last season Dulaney HS in the Baltimore, MD area.</p> <p>The Lions also added <strong>Kavion Morris</strong> from nearby Greenville Tech. Morris has great length for a guard and has the ability to clash to the cup. Morris will be a good fit for this already talented team.  </p> [caption id="attachment_778540" align="alignnone" width="300"] Jaheim Dodd[/caption] <p>The Berea HS Bulldogs should see some good times this season with some young prospects coming up the ranks. <strong>Savion Brown</strong> (2022), <strong>Jaheim Dodd</strong> (2022), <strong>Jonathan Penderman</strong> (2021) and <strong>Jemarkus Boozer</strong> (2021) will provide the leadership this season. Brown plays with Team South Carolina / JE Elite on the Grassroots circuit while Dodd and Boozer play with the South Carolina Blazers. Penderman is the Quarterback for the Bulldogs on the football field. </p> <p>Laurens HS will rely on <strong>Leonard Williams</strong> (2020) and <strong>Dee Foster</strong> (2020) this season for production. The Raiders named Josh Chavis new head coach of the program this week. Chavis is a former USC-Upstate player from 2007-2011. Former Head coach Ryan Walker has left and taken the job at North Myrtle Beach HS. </p> <p><strong>Dorian Miles</strong> (2020) had a strong showing finishing around the basket and converting on several free throws. Miles 6'6 undersized post player plays at Eastside HS. </p> <p><strong>CJ Plantin</strong> will be counted on a for big season for the Westside HS Rams. Plantin (2020) has seemed to be in hiatus over the past few seasons since leaving Legacy Early College. <strong>Xavier Thornton</strong> got hurt early vs Cardinal Newman and left the game. Thornton picked up a offer from Voorhees College (SC) this weekend. </p> [caption id="attachment_778539" align="alignnone" width="300"] Harold Johnson[/caption] <p>Cardinal Newman has a enough firepower to prevail again for the SCISA Class 3A State Championship next season in Sumter. <strong>Harold Johnson</strong> (2020), <strong>Thomas Tyler</strong> (2020), <strong>Joshua Beadle</strong> (2021) and <strong>Silas Christie</strong> (2021) will lead this squad. Johnson transferred in from nearby Denmark-Olar where he has been a fixture since the 8th grade season. </p> <p><strong>Ben Saunders</strong> had a strong showing for St Joe's Catholic (Greenville) on Saturday. Saunders (2021) just 15 years will be a junior this coming season and wears already a size 16 shoe. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
