<p>With the local high school basketball season over, it's time to start announcing postseason awards. Over the course of the week, Adam Ayalew and I will be publishing All-Maryland/DC teams for the all four classes. Let's look at who made Second Team:</p>

<p>Second Team</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1219865' first='Dionte' last='Alexander'] - Goretti (Belmont Abbey commit)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Alexander emerged as the primary playmaker for Goretti this season, who finished second in the BCL standings with a 28-9 overall record. The lefty combo guard will head to Belmont Abbey for his collegiate career and proved this season that he will be a productive player at that level. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1219879' first='Tyler' last='Perkins'] - Landon (Penn commit)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The IAC Player of the Year led the Bears to a runner-up finish in the league. Perkins was not just one of the top scorers in the area, but always a threat to grab 10 boards a night as well. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1413496' first='Caron' last='Smith'] - Parkville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smith was one of the premiere scorers in Baltimore County for the Class 4A state champion Parkville Knights. He averaged 21.5 points per game and made an impressive 116 triples at a 39 percent clip in their 27-win season. </p>

<p><strong>Cam Sparrow - New Town</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sparrow was the lead guard for the Titans who claimed championships in the county, region and state for Class 2A. The 6'3 guard has always been a fluid shooter from deep and the mid-range area, but it was his willingness to rebound and defend at a high level that ultimately helped New Town reach their full potential.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1049863' first='Ace' last='Valentine'] - MSJ (UMBC commit)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Valentine cemented himself as one of the best guards in the state and a tremendous addition for UMBC for years to come. The 6'3 point guard controlled games from start to finish and stepped up countless times in clutch situations to keep Mount St. Joseph atop of the Baltimore rankings.</p>
