As a guard, Hall delivered a standout week on the court, averaging 25.8 points per game in four victories for the week of December 9, 2025. His 37-point game against St. Andrew’s was the highlight, featuring a strong defensive contribution as well. In subsequent wins over Burke County, Hall scored 22 points. He followed that with 20 points against First Presbyterian and finished the week with 24 points in the win over Effingham.
Throughout the season, Hall has averaged 19.4 points per game, proving a steady presence for South Effingham at both ends of the floor. His ability to score consistently, combined with strong defensive effort, has established him as a key contributor to the Mustangs’ success.
Hall’s impact goes beyond the box score, his coach emphasized. “Michael is just a difference maker,” the coach said. “He has incredible work ethic and an impeccable drive to be the best player on the floor. On offense, he ignites our team with timely threes and steals for layups. Because his energy never lets our team get down, the rest of the group feeds off that.”
With Hall leading the way, South Effingham has won six of its last seven, building momentum as the season continues.
