East Clarendon High School is a Small school in a small town, but they have had recent success in Girls Basketball thanks to the talents of 2022 – 6’0” – Guard Talaysia Cooper. Coming into the 2019 – 2020 Season she was already the most decorated Girls player in the Schools History, she has already been named All State, Team MVP, and lead the them to the 2018 Class 1A SCHSL State Championship as an 8th Grader. Already surpassing the 1,500 point mark as a Freshman last year, it was only a matter of time before she passed the next milestone in her career.
On Tuesday January 14. I was able to attend the game – with speaking to Head Coach: Mike Lowder before the game he mentioned that Talaysia was 2 points away from 2,000…. That meant that the 1st 2 Ptr, or 3-Ptr she made was going to put her name into the Record books as the 1st person in the schools history to surpass this number of points. From the Tip Talaysia seemed a little off, missing 1 then 2, then a 3rd shot, she then got a rebound putback that gave her the mark, with 6:44 left in the 1st Qtr it had been done… The officials stopped the game and the Athletic Director & Coach Lowder presented her and her parents with a Commemorative Ball and gave a speech thanking her for her commitment to Basketball and the East Clarendon Community.
Talaysia relaxed and got to work after that slow start, she finished the game with an amazing stat line for most, but just another day for this Super Sophomore – 38 Points – 21 Rebounds – 10 Assists – In a 72 – 48 Victory over Kingstree High School. With her current points total at 2.036 we see why so many college coaches are high on her abilities at the next level. To this point Talaysia has been offered by – South Carolina, Clemson, North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisville, Ole Miss and many other schools, there will be more to come as well.
What will her Final number be?? 3,000 – 3,500 – 4,000 – We are going to find out how many points she can score….
