That’s Brykel Washington Brykel Washington 6'2" | CG Orangeburg-Wilkinson | 2023 State SC for you basketball fans. Washington came into the game averaging 8.1 ppg this season and left tonight with 17 points and a victory. Washington is a new name for me here at Prep Hoops I will have to admit. Washington a long and rangy guard came up big time after time tonight with his timely shooting and decision making.
Junior Steps Up
Horaces Jacques Horaces Jacques 6'2" | PG Orangeburg-Wilkinson | 2023 State SC was all over the floor tonight with his play.

Coleman a rugged undersized post player and Regan bring great complimentary roles to the roster. Regan can knockdown shots on the perimeter and Coleman brings toughness down while battling inside the paint. Both of these players play on the Grassroots Circuit with Lowcountry Storm.
