Prep Hoops Season Predictions:
Abbeville HS – The Panthers made some noise last season with a (17-4) record.
Newberry HS – The Bulldogs will need a big year from Chrishaud Cromer Chrishaud Cromer 6'6" | SF Newberry | 2023 State SC and Darius Elkins Darius Elkins 5'9" | PG Newberry | 2024 State SC . The Bulldogs will need to improve on their (8-13) record from a season ago.
Saluda HS – It’s one last go around for Zion Wright Zion Wright 6'5" | SF Saluda | 2023 State SC and the Tigers. The Tigers finished (15-8) and played in a different region.
Mid-Carolina HS – The Rebels were (3-20) last season.
Ninety-Six HS – Can Junior Evan Adams lead the offense? Adams averaged 14 ppg last season for the Wildcats (7-15).
Zion has been around awhile it seems for the Tigers. Prep Hoops first saw him as 9th grader on the football field and hardwood. Zion is a long and rangy forward who can get to the rack by slashing to the cup. When he was playing Grassroots ball, he would run with the Carolina Pressure . Zion might look to have focus on playing football at the college level as a Wide Receiver. His brother Dallan plays football at Virginia Tech University.
Zion averaged 13 ppg and 9 rebounds last season for the Tigers.
Tinch plays football also for the Panthers as a Free Safety. Abbeville has a very rich history of football and plenty of state championships to show for it. Javario averaged 16.5 ppg, 8.4 rebounds and 2.4 steals last season for the Panthers.
Tinch is a long and rangy wing player who can score the ball from all 3 levels on the floor. Tinch is the CO-Prep Hoops Region Player of the Year with Zion Wright Zion Wright 6’5″ | SF Saluda | 2023 State SC this season.
Highlights
Prep Hoops first saw Cromer this summer on the Grassroots Circuit. He showed us that day he had some great versatility and shooting touch from the perimeter. Chrishaud is a long and rangy forward who really likes to play his game faced-up to the basket. He has a nice shooting touch especially from behind the arc. Could Cromer be a late bloomer down the road if he figures things out?
Elkins is the catalyst to make the Bulldogs go on both ends of the floor. Darius gets the team into the offense and also brings a strong presence on the defensive end of the floor with his quick hands. He likes to leak out for cheapies in transition. Elkins a left-handed guard can knockdown the three-point ball and shows to have a solid mid-range game at times.
Darius averaged 15 ppg last season for the Bulldogs.
