Team Profile

Coming off an impressive season where the team fell shy of their goal, losing in the state title game, Tyrone Slaughter has a strong, young foundation that is looking to follow the lead of 4 returning seniors, 3 of whom were starters last season. Being led by one of the top guards in the state, 6’1 Princeton commit Dalen Davis, along with 6’3 The Citadel commit Marcus Pigram, and 6’7 Daniel Johnson, the team looks to return to the big stage this year and redeem themselves. Other contributors include Sophomore Antonio Munoz, a 6’6 forward, and Sean Brown, a 6’0 junior, and a transfer from Kenwood Academy, Damajay Richardson.
