Prep Hoops Predictions:
1.Gaffney HS – The Indians look to be young but still will pack a good punch. The Indians finished (12-5) last season.
2.Clover HS – The Blue Eagles have the big man in the middle in Lawrence Bartee Lawrence Bartee 6'10" | C Clover | 2022 State SC . What kind of support will he have around him ?
3.Boling Springs HS – The Bulldogs will rely on Khalil Brown Khalil Brown 6'2" | SG Boiling Springs | 2022 State SC to make some noise.
4.Fort Mill HS – Kyle Neibch Kyle Neibch 6'2" | SG Fort Mill | 2022 State SC averaged 17.6 ppg last season after moving in from the Land of Lincoln.

Lawrence Bartee Lawrence Bartee 6'10" | C Clover | 2022 State SC (2022) – Clover – Prep Hoops Preseason Region Player of the Year (pictured on front)
Bartee is staying close to home and playing at Winthrop University in the Big South Conference.
Kyle Neibch Kyle Neibch 6'2" | SG Fort Mill | 2022 State SC (2022) – Fort Mill HS
Neibch plays Quarterback for the Yellow Jackets on the football field and plays in the backcourt during the winter. Neibch moved into the area from Batavia, IL and averaged 17.6 ppg last season.
Khalil Brown Khalil Brown 6'2" | SG Boiling Springs | 2022 State SC (2022) – Boiling Springs HS
Brown is the go to guy for the Bulldogs this season. Khalil is a rangy guard who decided not to play football this past fall. Brown has a nice mid-range pull-up that he likes to use. Khalil ran with Overtime Grind on the Grassroots Circuit.
TJ McGill TJ McGill 5'11" | PG Gaffney | 2022 SC – Gaffney HS (2022) – Gaffney HS
McGill might be one of the older players on the Indians roster this season. McGill will look to lead the team from the point guard position.
DeMariel Smith DeMariel Smith 6'4" | PG Gaffney | 2023 SC (2023) – Gaffney HS
Smith was a pleasant surprise last spring on the Grassroots Circuit. DeMariel a left-handed long and rangy guard really does a good job seeing the floor. Smith played at Blacksburg HS last season.
JJ Rembert JJ Rembert 5'11" | PG Nation Ford | 2024 State SC (2024) – Nation Ford HS
Rembert made the way to the Palmetto State from New York State. Prep Hoops saw the left-handed water-bug point guard this summer at the SCBCA Camp. JJ who really looks to push the tempo and get the ball up the floor should see some good minutes this season for the Falcons. Rembert previously attended Our Savior New American in Centereach, NY.
Trevor Rayborn Trevor Rayborn 6'5" | SF Nation Ford | 2024 SC (2024) – Nation Ford HS
Rayborn was a pleasant surprise this summer for the Falcons. Trevor has good versatility to play inside-out on the floor. Rayborn has nice footwork to post-up down low with his back to the basket.
Kaleb Phillips Kaleb Phillips 6'3" | SG Gaffney | 2025 State SC (2025) and Ziyon Harris Ziyon Harris 5'10" | PG Blacksburg | 2025 State SC (2025) – Gaffney HS
This duo right here for the Indians will see plenty of playing time for years to come. Both of them just freshman will be the foundation to a strong Indians team this season.
