This region could really be a battle this season down in the Lowcountry. Read more about it right here on your source for basketball coverage here in South Carolina.
Prep Girls Hoops Predictions:
Cane Bay HS – The Lady Cobras have a lot of talent to make a good run in the Lower State.
Stratford HS (Goose Creek) – The Knights could play spoiler this season under Head Coach Kelly McNeil.
Berkeley HS (Moncks Corner) – How far can Peighton Jambor Peighton Jambor 6'2" | PF Berkeley | 2023 State SC carry the Lady Stags? Can the rest of the team provide support?
Wando HS (Mount Pleasant) – Dylan Silber Dylan Silber 5'8" | SG Wando | 2022 State SC is out for the year with a injury. Can the Lady Warriors recover?
Goose Creek HS – NEVER count out a very young Lady Gators team – Growing pains early – but NEVER count them out.
Jasmine Jenkins Jasmine Jenkins 5'8" | SF Cane Bay | 2022 State SC (2022) – Cane Bay HS – Prep Girls Hoops Preseason Region Player of the Year (pictured on front)
Jenkins fits in well with the departure of Ryian Howard Ryian Howard 5'10" | PF Northwood Academy | 2023 State SC to Northwood Academy. Jenkins a transfer from White Knoll HS averaged 18.6 ppg last season for the Lady Timberwolves. Jenkins starts her senior season with 798 career points.
Dylan Silber Dylan Silber 5'8" | SG Wando | 2022 State SC (2022) – Wando HS
Silber looks to be out for the year with an injury for the Lady Warriors. Big blow to the Lady Warriors roster.
Ravin Griffin Ravin Griffin 5'8" | SG Goose Creek | 2022 State SC (2022) – Goose Creek HS
Griffin will be one of the two seniors on this roster for Head Coach Tim Baldwin. Griffin a left-handed guard averaged 11.7 ppg last season.
Samiya Grant Samiya Grant 5'4" | PG Goose Creek | 2022 State SC (2022) – Goose Creek HS
Grant is back to bolster the backcourt for the Lady Gators. Grant played at First Baptist a few seasons ago before coming up to Goose Creek HS.
Tatum Carr Tatum Carr 5'11" | C Cane Bay | 2022 State SC (2022) – Cane Bay HS
Carr is an undersized post who brings a blue-collar mentality to the floor. Tatum will need to play her role this season for the Lady Cobras if they want to make a run to Aiken (that doesn’t sound quite right yet). Tatum averaged 6.2 ppg last year.
Alaina Nettles Alaina Nettles 5'8" | CG Cane Bay | 2023 State SC (2023) – Cane Bay HS
Nettles and teammate Jasmine Jenkins Jasmine Jenkins 5'8" | SF Cane Bay | 2022 State SC should provide a nice 1-2 punch here in the Lower State. Nettles averaged 13.7 ppg last season for the Lady Cobras.
Peighton Jambor Peighton Jambor 6'2" | PF Berkeley | 2023 State SC (2023) – Berkeley HS (Moncks Corner)
Jambor will need some help this season to make a run in the region. Peighton should collect a double-double each night for the Lady Stags. Jambor an athletic forward plays very well on both sides of the floor. Jambor averaged 14.9 ppg last season as a sophomore.
Yasmine Cook Yasmine Cook 5'8" | SF Stratford | 2023 State SC (2023) – Stratford HS (Goose Creek)
Cook brings good versatility to the perimeter for the Lady Knights. Yasmine has the ability to score the ball from all 3 levels on the floor. She will knockdown the short corner jumper, finish on the break in transition or grab a loose ball on the floor.
Kaleyia Brown Kaleyia Brown 5'3" | SG Stratford | 2023 State SC (2023) – Stratford HS (Goose Creek)
Brown is a playmaking point guard for the Lady Knight. Kaleyia can get the ball into the paint and gaps while finding a open teammate. Brown is always looking to push the tempo up the floor. Brown and Cook will be the leaders of this Knights squad this coming season.
** Jyahni Smith Jyahni Smith 5'7" | SG Grayson | 2023 State GA (2022) and Ryian Howard Ryian Howard 5'10" | PF Northwood Academy | 2023 State SC (2023) both have left Region 7-AAAAA and transferred out. Smith relocated to Georgia while Howard is now at Northwood Academy.
