Melo Baines – Lake Taylor
Baines is a tremendous space eater who moves bodies in the paint at 6’8″. He rebounds and finishes at a high level.
Zaevion Cleveland Zaevion Cleveland 6'4" | SF Landstown | 2026 State VA – Landstown
Cleveland is a rising sophomore wing who is developing nicely. He is a terrific slasher and an explosive finisher. Cleveland demonstrates a high basketball IQ as well. He is a good decision-maker and a vocal communicator.
Jayden Johnson Jayden Johnson 6'1" | CG Tuscarora | 2024 State VA – Tuscarora
Johnson is a quick, skilled lefty who is very shifty with the ball and gets to his spots. He is dynamic offensively because he can hurt you both as a scorer or a playmaker.
Cam Pacheco – Spotswood
Pacheco is a nice all-around player who makes plays on both ends of the floor but can also score when he needs to. He is at his best when making guys around him better which he does naturally.
Noah Limbago Noah Limbago 6'2" | SF WT Woodson | 2025 State VA – Woodson
One word to describe Limbago? Productive. He is an athletic finisher for the Cavs who helps clean the glass and distributes the ball efficiently.
Ronier Peters Ronier Peters 6'1" | SF Fairfax | 2024 State VA – Fairfax
Peters is developing into a coach on the floor at the lead guard spot. He is a physical guard who locks down his opponent defensively, handles the ball under pressure, and consistently makes winning plays all over the court.
Masiah Stevens Masiah Stevens 5'10" | PG Woodside | 2025 State #263 Nation VA – Woodside
Stevens is an explosive guard who is the alpha dog on the court for the Wolverines. He is simply relentless on both ends of the floor. Stevens has an engine that runs constantly and doesn’t stop until the job is done.
Adam Strong-Jacobson Adam Strong-Jacobson 6'6" | C Bethesta-Chevy Chase | 2024 State MD – B-CC (MD)
Strong-Jacobson is a reliable rebounder and inside finisher for the Barons. He’s fundamentally sound with solid footwork and natural touch in the paint.
