[player_tooltip player_id="569913" first="Earl" last="Burgess"]Earl Burgess Earl Burgess 6'7" | PF Dorman | 2021 State SC – Dorman HS
Burgess was a great role guy this past season for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers won a 4th straight Class 5A State Championship and finished the season at (30-1). Burgess will have a bigger role this season for the Cavaliers and will be for sure up to the challenge. Burgess has the ability to put the ball on the floor from the top of the key and drive down to the cup or knockdown the 15-17 footer. Burgess with his versatility can play inside-out on the floor and can really stretch the defense when needed. Burgess is very active away from the ball. Burgess averaged 5.1 ppg and 3 rebounds this past season while shooting 58% (61-105) from the floor.

Little was hit with a knee injury this season for the Lions. Little a fixture here at Legacy Early College over the years has gotten stronger in the weight room. Little a athletic forward still must improve on his ball handling skills. Little is looking for a strong return this coming season for Head Coach BJ Jackson.
[player_tooltip player_id="569888" first="James" last="Cooper"]James Cooper James Cooper 6'9" | PF Mauldin | 2021 State SC – Mauldin HS
Cooper really showed great progress this season for the Mavericks. Cooper transferred over to Mauldin HS after playing at nearby Greenville Tech his first 2 seasons. Cooper 6’8 has the ability to step-out and knockdown the 3 ball or battle inside the paint. Cooper played a lot this season in the paint for the Mavericks. Cooper averaged 10.8 ppg and 6.6 rebounds this season for the Mavericks (23-5). Cooper shot 34% (23-67) from behind the arc.
[player_tooltip player_id="747009" first="Justin" last="Baxter"]Justin Baxter Justin Baxter 6'7" | PF Bamberg-Ehrhardt | 2021 State SC – Bamberg-Ehrhardt HS
Baxter doesn’t play at a basketball powerhouse by no means in Bamberg County. I first saw Baxter play as a freshman for the Red Raiders and he has really played off the grid on the Grassroots Circuit. Baxter runs with the Carolina Shockers on the Grassroots Circuit. Baxter averaged 16.3 ppg, 16.6 rebounds and 2.9 blocks this season for the Red Raiders.
[player_tooltip player_id="644831" first="Jamarious" last="Herring"]Jamarious Herring Jamarious Herring 6'7" | PF The Rock | 2021 State FL – Loris HS
Herring plays down in Northern Horry County at a Class 3A School. Herring a left-handed player has the ability to play outside on the perimeter and his shot looks pretty good. Herring who has great length really can run the floor well and finish inside the paint. Herring played a full season this past year for the Lions and averaged 11.4 ppg, 8.7 rebounds and 3.5 blocks.
