Pee Dee-Grand Strand : Back Court Duos

Prep Hoops takes a trip around the Palmetto State to look at some of the best duos in the backcourt. Lets take a look at some backcourts in the Pee Dee and Grand Strand area first.  [player_tooltip player_id="840187" first="DaVeon" last="Thomas"] DaVeon ThomasDaVeonThomas6'0" | PGRidge View | 2021StateSC (2021) and Lebron ThomasLebronThomas6'2" | PGTrinity Collegiate | 2022StateSC (2022) - Lee Central HS  This is a very solid backcourt and still another few years to play together for the Stallions. Thomas is a pit bull o nthe floor in his intensity night in and night out. Thomas and Thomas compliment one another very well on the floor and both have the ability to step up on a given night and take charge for the Stallions.  [player_tooltip player_id="843567" first="Justice" last="Jackson"] Justice JacksonJusticeJackson6'1" | SGSouth Florence | 2020StateSC (2020) and Brian SparksBrianSparks6'1" | SGSouth Florence | 2020StateSC (2020) - South Florence HS  Jackson is more of scorer than Sparks. This duo has been in the backcourt for the past 4 years for the Bruins. Jackson averaged 23 ppg last season for the Bruins. Sparks is back to run the point guard position for new Head Coach Christian Savage. The Bruins have the pieces to make some noise this season in region play. [player_tooltip player_id="751272" first="Emorie" last="Knox"] Emorie KnoxEmorieKnox6'0" | PGMyrtle Beach | 2020StateSC (2020) and James MarquesJamesMarques5'10" | SGMyrtle Beach | 2020StateSC (2020) - Myrtle Beach HS  Knox holds a offer from Charleston Southern University and has been a fixture here for Head Coach Craig Martin since his 8th grade season. Knox might be one of the quickest players in the state from end to end with the ball. Marques 5’9 just brings a great attitude and a competitive edge to the floor every night.  [player_tooltip player_id="746980" first="Mac" last="Washington"] AJ VaughtAJVaught5'10" | PGMarion | 2020StateSC (2020) and  Zy’Aire CharlesZy’AireCharles5'10" | PGMarion | 2021StateSC (2021) / Mac WashingtonMacWashington6'3" | SGMarion | 2021StateSC (2021) and Tre GasqueTreGasque6'3" | PGAndrews | 2022StateNC (2021)  - Marion HS  The Swamp Foxes will be deep in talent this coming season with the addition of Zy’Aire CharlesZy’AireCharles5'10" | PGMarion | 2021StateSC and Tre GasqueTreGasque6'3" | PGAndrews | 2022StateNC. Charles came over from Dillon HS and Gasque from Andrews HS. Vaught is a left-handed point guard with a lot of weapons around him this season for the Swamp Foxes. Washington can play the 2 or 3 positions on the floor and will be relied on for perimeter shooting. The Swamp Foxes have the pieces to make a deep run this season and maybe get to Columbia when March rolls around.  Brett Rumpel Brett Rumpel (2021) and Lawton FulfordLawtonFulford6'2" | SGChristian Academy of Myrtle Beach | 2021StateSC (2021) - Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach  Rumpel is the new kid on the block moving into the area this summer from Upstate New York. Prep Hoops first saw talented guard play at the Coastal Carolina University Team Camp. Fulford is back for the Saints in his 3rd year at the school. Fulford will look to add onto his stats this season with the graduation of Mike Green.
