Southside HS (Greenville) – The Tigers finished (16-12) last season under new Head Coach Greg Scott.
Palmetto HS – How far can Jaden Young Jaden Young 6'0" | SG Palmetto | 2021 State SC carry his squad this season ?

Powdersville HS – Life after Draylan Burton Draylan Burton 6'2" | SG Powdersville | 2020 State SC (Campbell University) 31 ppg last season and when Kidd Brizek Kidd Brizek 6'6" | SF Powdersville | 2022 State SC moved onto Legacy Early College. The Patriots finished last season at (15-11).
Carolina HS – I really don’t know much about the Trojans program.
Players to Watch in the Region:
Jaden Young Jaden Young 6'0" | SG Palmetto | 2021 State SC (2021) – Palmetto HS (Williamston)
Young will have to carry the scoring load for the Mustangs this season. Young excels in the transition game and can knockdown the open jumper on the perimeter.
Jonathan Penderman (2021) – Berea HS
Penderman averaged 12.9 ppg last season for the Bulldogs. Penderman is a multiple sport athlete for the Bulldogs.
Jemarkus Boozer (2021) – Berea HS
Boozer was a name Prep Hoops has talked about for a few years now. Boozer played a limited amount of games last season and was really last season on the Grassroots over a year ago. Could Boozer return to the fold here ?
Justin Bailey Justin Bailey 6'1" | PG Blue Ridge | 2022 State SC (2022) – Blue Ridge HS (Prep Hoops Region Player of the Year)
Bailey averaged 23.2 ppg last season for the Fighting Tigers. Bailey shot 48% (206-430) from the floor last year. Bailey is the Prep Hoops Region Player of the Year this season.
Savion Brown Savion Brown 6'2" | CG Berea | 2022 State SC (2022) – Berea HS
Brown looks to help the Bulldogs turn around from a dismal season a year ago. Brown a guard averaged 13.9 ppg last season. Could Brown, Penderman and Boozer help the Bulldogs move in the right direction ?
Dyterrious Williams Dyterrious Williams 6'4" | PF Southside | 2022 State SC (2022) – Southside HS (Greenville)
Williams a left-handed post player is a load down low in the paint. Williams has a soft set of hands and a thick frame to get physical.
Jakel Hailstock Jakel Hailstock 6'1" | SG Southside | 2022 State SC (2022) – Southside HS (Greenville)
Hailstock has a great motor on the floor and looks to score the ball in transition. Hailstock always seems to be around the ball while on the floor.
Jermaurhiyun Anderson Jermaurhiyun Anderson 6'2" | PG Quality Education | 2024 State NC (2024) – Southside HS (Greenville)
Anderson just a freshman is the future of Tigers basketball at Southside HS.
