Wakefield Fall League Week 2 Takeaways

<p><em>ARLINGTON, VA</em> -- Wakefield fall league is deep this year. With over 30 teams competing, there is no shortage of action. Here are the takeaways from week 2. </p> <h5>Edison Will Be Hard to Beat</h5> <p>Even without returning All-Region senior <strong>Mike Montano</strong>, who sat out due to injury, Edison looks quite formidable. The Eagles have length all across the board. 2022 <strong>Conner Spearman</strong>, a bouncy 6-foot-7ish forward, is an active defender who thrives in the open court. 2024 <strong>Teddy Morgan</strong> is one to keep an eye on as well. The Minnesota native, who stands 6-foot-3, plays much bigger due to his length. Morgan does a bit of everything well, but his most impressive trait is his playmaking ability. He is one of the better passers you’ll find in Northern Virginia. </p> <h5>Osbourn Shows Promise</h5> <p>Coach Carter has a young group at Osbourn that might be ready to make some noise this year. 2024 <strong>Teyvien Barbour</strong> has a chance to be one of the more dangerous players in the region. He is a lights-out shooter who brings versatility, size, and toughness. Barbour has plenty of help too. 2024 <strong>Amonte Williams</strong> is a dynamic young point guard prospect. Williams is lightning fast, skilled, and confident. 2024<strong> Savon Honesty</strong> provides toughness and dependability in the paint. Honesty is tremendous at walling up and preventing easy looks at the rim. And 2023 <strong>Idris Johnson</strong> is an absolute workhorse. Johnson attacks the rim with aggression and helps clean the glass. All of these players have good skill bases that should continue to grow over time. </p> <h5>West Potomac Looks Strong</h5> <p>West Potomac is another team that will be hard to beat. They get rock-solid point guard play from 2023 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1256339" first="Donovan" last="Bass"]</strong>, who we just learned is ambidextrous. Bass was seen zipping bounce passes in transition with his right hand. He also made a right-handed layup in traffic. Then he proceeded to drill a couple of treys with his left hand. 2023<strong> Nigel Henderson</strong> could be the X-Factor for this team. Henderson is a rangy wing who plays above the rim. </p> <h5>Woodbridge Defends</h5> <p>It looks like Woodbridge is looking to establish their identity as a defensive team. 2022 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217453" first="Michael" last="Cooper"]</strong> is the centerpiece of the defense. While the guards pressure the ball in the backcourt, Cooper patrols the passing lanes like a free safety. He loves the open court where he is adept at scoring and making plays.</p> <h5>Experience Will Help Woodson</h5> <p>WT Woodson returns many key contributors from last year’s team. Lefty 2022 swingman <strong>Alex Klein</strong> averaged double figures last year and is a safe bet to do so again this year. Klein is a prolific shooter from behind the arc who can also mix it up from 15-feet and in. 2022 floor general <strong>Andre Pacheco</strong> is a menace on the defensive end. Expect him to draw multiple on-ball charges due to his uncanny positional awareness. </p>
