PREP BASKETBALL PREP FOOTBALL Future endeavors Four local With strong returning core, Crestwood boys work on steady players in improvement in preparation for postseason run Saturday’s N-S Game BY DENNIS BRUNSON [email protected]

Sumter High School defensive end Raymond Johnson and offensive lineman Khalil Moore, Crestwood wide receiver/kick returner Julius Pearson and Manning linebacker Jabril Wilson will be playing for the South squad in the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl North-South Game on Saturday in Myrtle Beach. The game will be played at Myrtle Beach High’s Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium beginning at 12:30 p.m. Johnson led the Gamecocks, who won the Region VI-5A title and finished 9-2 on the season, in tackles for loss and quarterback sacks. He had 20 ½ tackles for loss and nine sacks. Johnson, who has committed to Georgia Southern, also had 62 total tackles, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. Moore was a 3-year starter for SHS, never missing a game along the way. He had the top grade among the Sumter linemen. Pearson, a Georgia State commitment, had 45 catches for 632 yards and nine touchdowns for the Knights, who went 5-6 and reached the 4A state playoffs. He also returned five kickoffs for 220 yards, two of them going for KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM touchdowns. Crestwood’s Ja Morant, center, was chosen by the S.C.
