<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a closer look at some of the new players who debuted in this week's Prep Hoops Maryland 2023 <a href="https://prephoops.com/maryland/rankings/2023-rankings/"><strong>Rankings Update</strong></a>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>#31 | [player_tooltip player_id='957106' first='Ralph' last='Martino'] | 6'6" SF | Shabach Christian Academy (MD)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martino was considered of the top players in Northern Virginia's public school ranks last year while at Champe. His arrival at Shabach Christian is a significant one. Martino is a confident ball-handler who will offer versatility and playmaking potential on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>#82 | [player_tooltip player_id='1573256' first='Staccardo' last='Washington'] | 6'5" PF | Wise (MD)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington enjoyed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTfmyP7B7og"><strong>a productive summer</strong></a> with Prospect U. He is expected to be among the better players in PG County next season at Wise and will be one to watch throughout the upcoming campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>#90 | [player_tooltip player_id='1483003' first='Gabe' last='Jones'] | 6'3" SG | Carroll (DC)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones will bring his talents from Colonial Forge in Virginia to Archbishop Carroll. He is a big guard with a smooth all-around game. The Lions will welcome the Firepower that Jones will bring to their squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>#106 | [player_tooltip player_id='1573326' first='Jahsan' last='Johnson'] | 5'9" PG | Goretti (MD)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has been steady at the point for Coach McCray at Goretti. He competes defensively and doesn't get sped up on the ball offensively. As one of the Gaels' senior players, Johnson will have plenty of responsibility but should be up to the task. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>#109 | [player_tooltip player_id='1573328' first='Amanuel' last='Tucker'] | 6'7" C | Maret (DC)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You won't find many who've improved at a quicker rate than Tucker in the last several months. His body has transformed completely. Tucker's offensive game is also improving. He could be a double-double threat each time he takes the floor for the Frogs this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
