Jaseyvian Brown, James Island

The 5-foot-9 junior cornerback had two interceptions in the Trojans’ 31-21 victory over Carolina Forest. Both interceptions led to touchdowns.

Andrew Turner, Hammond

It doesn’t get any better than throwing the game-winning touchdown pass on fourth down in the state championship game. That’s what Turner did, firing a 23-yard touchdown pass to tight end Mike Tyler with 45 seconds left, securing the storied program’s eighth consecutive SCISA state championship.

Jaiden Bryant, Irmo

How about being a one-man defensive wrecking crew? Bryant made life miserable for Chapin with 7 tackles, 4 sacks, 6 quarterback pressures and 2 pass deflections. And he’s only a sophomore.

Jayden Sellers, South Florence

Sellers had long ago established himself as an elite receiver. So why not just snap the ball to him and let him take off. The South Carolina commit took 12 direct snaps, rushing for 227 yards and 4 touchdowns in the Bruins’ 56-28 win over Hilton Head Island. He also had 3 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown.

Mason Pickett-Hicks, South Pointe

Pickett-Hicks ran 15 times for 276 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Stallions’ 56-17 trouncing of Greer.

Jeremiah Singleton, Pinewood Prep

Singleton had a workhorse load of 30 carries, netting 138 yards and 2 touchdowns as the Panthers held off Wilson Hall 24-21 to win the SCISA 3-A state championship.

Amadre Wooden, Batesburg-Leesville

Wooden ran for a school-record 334 yards and had 5 touchdowns in the undefeated Panthers’ 49-14 victory over Andrew Jackson.

Hakeem Waters, Hartsville

Waters ran for three touchdowns in the Red Foxes’ 49-16 romp over Darlington.

Damarcus Leach, Abbeville

The Panthers’ quarterback tossed three touchdowns and ran for another in a 41-13 pounding of Blackville-Hilda.

John Peeples, Sumter

Peeples had 154 yards and 4 touchdowns on 18 carries as the Gamecocks overwhelmed Ashley Ridge 55-24.
