[player_tooltip player_id="840187" first="DaVeon" last="Thomas"]DaVeon Thomas DaVeon Thomas 6'0" | PG Ridge View | 2021 State SC (2021) and Lebron Thomas Lebron Thomas 6'2" | CG Trinity Collegiate | 2022 State SC (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 Jackson Justice Jackson 6'1" | SG South Florence | 2020 State SC (2020) and Brian Sparks Brian Sparks 6'1" | SG South Florence | 2020 State SC (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 Knox Emorie Knox 6'0" | PG Myrtle Beach | 2020 State SC (2020) and James Marques James Marques 5'10" | SG Myrtle Beach | 2020 State SC (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 Vaught AJ Vaught 5'10" | PG Marion | 2020 State SC (2020) and Zy’Aire Charles Zy’Aire Charles 6'1" | PG Marion | 2021 State SC (2021) / Mac Washington Mac Washington 6'3" | SG Marion | 2021 State SC (2021) and Tre Gasque Tre Gasque 6'3" | PG Andrews | 2022 State NC (2021) – Marion HS
The Swamp Foxes will be deep in talent this coming season with the addition of Zy’Aire Charles Zy’Aire Charles 6'1" | PG Marion | 2021 State SC and Tre Gasque Tre Gasque 6'3" | PG Andrews | 2022 State NC . 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 RumpelBrett Rumpel (2021) and Lawton Fulford Lawton Fulford 6'2" | SG Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach | 2021 State SC (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.
