Lebron Thomas Lebron Thomas 6'2" | CG Trinity Collegiate | 2022 State SC – Trinity Collegiate (Darlington)
How much more can we say about Lebron Thomas Lebron Thomas 6'2" | CG Trinity Collegiate | 2022 State SC ? Prep Hoops has seen this young man play since he came on the scene at Lee Central HS in Bishopville. Thomas has looked to develop some much-improved perimeter skills this off season. Lebron has always been able to attack and slash to the cup with the best of them.
Lebron is back for his final season with the Titans after winning a SCISA Class 3A State Championship last year. Thomas has the capabilities to take over a game in hurry at times. Thomas enjoyed playing this summer and over the years with Florence International Basketball (FIBA) on the Grassroots Circuit.
Ca’Darrius Sowell Ca’Darrius Sowell 6'0" | PG Andrew Jackson | 2022 State SC – Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw) (pictured on front)
Sowell is off to a fast start for the Volunteers (4-1) this season. Ca’Darrius already owns a Francis Marion University and Johnson C. Smith (NC) offer now. Ca’Darrius has continued his hot play since this summer when he was running with Upward Stars SE 3SSB Pee Dee on the Grassroots Circuit.
Sowell really makes his teammates so much better around him with his ability to make plays for himself and others. Ca’Darrius is currently averaging 31.8 ppg for the Volunteers with its only loss coming to Class 4A – A.C. Flora HS in which he scored 37 points. Sowell really stuffs the stat sheet every time he touches the floor. He’s currently averaging 5.4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.6 steals this season. Look for him to bump up a few more spots when Prep Hoops does its next set of rankings updates in the future.
Tariq Shabazz Tariq Shabazz 5'9" | PG Pinewood Prep | 2022 State SC – Pinewood Prep (Summerville)
Shabazz has always looked to pack a punch in a small frame. Tariq is back at Pinewood Prep after starting his career at nearby Sumerville HS. Shabazz is currently averaging 31.8 ppg this season while connecting on 24 three pointers from downtown. The Panthers currently (5-0) under longtime Head Coach Pat Eidson have things going in the right direction.
Tariq is a very confident shooter and scorer for his size. Shabazz can create his own shot and really look to create chances for his teammates. Shabazz played on the local Grassroots Circuit with Palmetto Elite this summer. Shabazz scored a season 42 points vs Stratford HS earlier this season.
These 3 players should all see a Stock Rise in the future here at Prep Hoops.
