Noah Bailes Noah Bailes 6'3" | SG Lucy Beckham | 2023 State SC – Lucy Beckham HS (Mount Pleasant) – PSB Charleston 2023
Bailes had a solid game in a close one vs Bigger Than Basketball in which we had him for 16 points. Bailes has a quick shot release and always seems to be shot ready to receive the pass. Bailes a shooting guard is looking to make a name for himself with the Bengals this coming season and Head Coach Andrew Glover. Lucy Beckham HS opened last fall at the Class 4A during a Covid-19 Pandemic.
Keshaun Wright Keshaun Wright 6'2" | SF Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach | 2023 State SC – Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach – Saints
Wright confirmed to Prep Hoops he has transferred to the SCISA Class 2A Saints program on the Grand Strand for the next school year. Wright a transfer from Andrews HS in Georgetown County has really played well this month. Wright brings a great team first mentality concept to the table every time he steps on the floor. Wright can score the ball from all 3 levels on the floor with his ability to drive – slash while knocking down mid-range jumpers and three pointers.
Jaydyn Sowell Jaydyn Sowell 5'8" | PG Central (Pageland) | 2023 State SC – Central HS (Pageland) – HYB Raptors
Sowell might be small in stature but not in heart and determination on the floor. Sowell has been a fixture in the Eagles back court the past few years. Sowell averaged 11.4 ppg this past season for the Eagles. Sowell plays a bit off the grid up in Chesterfield County just miles away from the North Carolina border. Central HS is traditionally a football powerhouse in the SCHSL ranks.
Justice Johnson Justice Johnson 6'5" | SF Richland Northeast | 2023 State SC – Richland Northeast HS – HYB Raptors
Johnson was extremely active on the glass on both ends of the floor today. Johnson brought EFFORT on every play today while finishing from 6-8 feet facing up to the cup. Johnson has really good length and reactions around the ball. Johnson really plays the game with a good mindset and body control. Justice plays the game with a great demeanor and gives your team results down in the paint.
