Sakharis Smalls Sakharis Smalls 6'3" | PF West Ashley | 2022 State SC (2022) – West Ashley HS
Smalls is a long and rangy forward who’s a very quick leaper off the floor. Sakharis plays wideout on the football team can really cover a lot of ground around the paint area.

Green is back for a senior season after averaging 13.2 ppg last season for the Patriots. Can the Patriots get over the hump and make a run in the Lower State this coming February?

Stokes can really let it fly in a hurry for the Warriors. Kevin a very slender-sleek guard averaged 21.6 ppg last season for Stall HS. Stokes has a very quick shot release and deep range on his shot.
Hayden Williams Hayden Williams 6'1" | SG Ashley Ridge | 2022 State SC (2022) – Ashley Ridge HS (Summerville)
