The Wade Hampton Red Devils added one more for the trophy case — a few months after the history books on their school officially closed — when a multi-generational team of WHHS alums completed a 3-0 run through the bracket to claim the title at the inaugural Lowcountry Legacy Basketball Tournament on Saturday at the Hardeeville Recreation Center.
Organized by former Jasper County/Ridgeland Jaguars three-sport standout Alex Percival, the event pitted alumni squads from four Lowcountry high schools — Jasper County, Ridgeland-Hardeeville, Wade Hampton, and Bluffton — against one another in a double-elimination bracket, resulting in six hours of wall-to-wall basketball with music, contests and giveaways at halftime of each game, and food trucks.
The Wade Hampton team led by former Red Devils legends such as Stevephen Walker, Cruize Griffin, Justin Peeples, and Malik Ford, as well as recent graduate and reigning
Region 6-2A Player of the Year Isaac Gray, dispatched Jasper County and Ridgeland-Hardeeville to reach the finals before ending Bluffton’s two-game run through the
elimination bracket in the championship game. Check out the game-by-game highlights and stay tuned for the next installment of the Lowcountry Legacy Basketball Tournament!
