Goose Creek High School senior basketball player Elijah Dates is the sixth annual Best of Prep Sports boys basketball player of the year. Dates, a 6-foot, 3-inch guard, helped power the Gators to the Class AAAAA state championship game in 2002-23 and poured in a game-high 26 points as Goose Creek finished as the state runner-up to Dorman. Goose Creek won 26 games and captured the Region 6-AAAAA title along the way this winter. "I knew he was capable," Goose Creek boys basketball coach Blake Hall said.
