Gamecocks signee Arden Conyers among local players picked for Carolinas Classic

South Carolina signee Arden Conyers and Missouri signee Jordan Butler are among the selections to this year’s Carolinas Classic all-star basketball game.

The game, which features some of the top seniors in North and South Carolina, will be played in Wilmington, North Carolina on March 25. The girls game is set for 3 p.m., with the boys to follow.

Conyers, who plays at Westwood, and Butler, who is at Christ Church, are the top two-ranked prospects from South Carolina in the boys game. Butler is ranked No. 2 and Conyers No. 3 by the 247Sports Composite.

The game is for players from teams that compete in the S.C. High School League, which excludes Legacy Early College’s Coen Carr, the state’s top prospect.

Conyers is averaging about 20 points a game and went over 1,000 career points this season. He is one of nine Midlands players picked to play in the game. Gray Collegiate has two selections: Georgia Southern signee Avantae Parker and Montraivis White. Keenan’s Chrisean Oree and Irmo’s Brandon Crawford also are on the boys team.

The girls team includes Westwood’s Jessica Woods, A.C. Flora’s Trinity Delaney, Saluda’s Jessica Means and Lexington’s Lindsay Garner.

Keenan’s MiLaysia Fulwiley — a Gamecocks signee — would have been selected but will be in Houston that weekend for the McDonald’s All-American game.

Ridge View’s Joshua Staley is an assistant coach for the boys, and Saluda’s Jessica Wilder is an assistant coach for the girls.
