When it comes to playing the game these two young men will jump in a fox hole and have your back in a hurry. Great teammates that love to play defense and create havoc at all times. This DUO will take a CHARGE on command which is truly a lost art this day in age.  #13 - Lebron Thomas Lebron Thomas 6'2" | CG Trinity Collegiate | 2022 State SC and #30 -  Bessanty Saragba Bessanty Saragba 6'9" | PF Trinity Collegiate | 2022 State SC - Trinity Collegiate (Darlington)  Thomas was a great addition to the Titans roster last season for Head Coach Mike Teasley. The Titans won a SCISA Class 3A State Championship. Thomas a left-handed SLASHER deluxe to the rack can really pile up the points. Saragba is a athletic post player in his his 3rd year at the school.
