Darren Buchanan will average a triple-double.
Considered the top-unsigned senior in the DC Metro Area, Buchanan is one of the more well-rounded prospects you’ll find in this region. Grabbing 10 plus rebounds per contest is something he does on a regular basis. Buchanan should have no problem scoring 10 plus points either. One of his best attributes is his unselfishness. Buchanan loves getting his teammates involved. He has the potential to average 10 assists per game.
Hayfield will win the VHSL 6A State Tournament.
Coach Poindexter has a talented group at Hayfield this year. With multiple college prospects on his roster, the Hawks are expected to contend for a state title. Completing the task will be no easy feat. The northern region remains a gauntlet that will be difficult to navigate through.
Mount St. Joe will go unbeaten in BCL regular season play.
The BCL looks mighty strong this year. John Carroll, St. Frances, Spalding, and Mt. Carmel are all looking quite formidable. But the Gaels have the potential to be the best of the bunch. The addition of versatile forward Amani Hansberry Amani Hansberry 6'7" | C Mount St. Joseph | 2023 State #52 Nation MD , who is currently our top-ranked 2023 prospect, will make a difference.
Sidwell will finish the season as a top-5 team.
The Quakers continue to fly under the radar for now but have the potential to make noise this year. The MAC is a tough league, but Coach Singletary’s squad features the personnel to contend. Expect a breakout year from junior point guard Cam Gillus Cam Gillus 5'10" | PG Sidwell Friends | 2023 State MD , who has looked outstanding this preseason.
St. John’s will win the WCAC Championship.
The Cadets did lose some key pieces from last year, but they return 2023 floor general Malik Mack Malik Mack 6'0" | PG St. John’s | 2023 State #260 Nation MD . If he returns to form, St. John’s could be very dangerous. Miami-bound Christian Watson Christian Watson 6'6" | SF St. John's | 2022 State #121 Nation MD , one of the better two-way wings you’ll find in this area, is in mid-season form after reportedly dropping 34 points in a recent preseason scrimmage. He does not shy away from big moments and will probably be taking critical shots down the stretch. Under Pat Behan, St. John’s has traditionally been a good defensive team. They should have a good chance to win the title.
Trey Seigle Trey Seigle 5'11" | CG Lake Braddock | 2022 VA will lead the DC Metro Area in scoring.
Lake Braddock guard Trey Seigle Trey Seigle 5'11" | CG Lake Braddock | 2022 VA will have the green light all season long. Assuming Coach Metress continues his uptempo style, Seigle will get the necessary attempts to put up serious numbers. The Bruins lost a couple of key contributors to private schools. Expect Seigle to pick up the slack as a result.
