<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is our Interstate Athletic Conference preview for the 2023-2024 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best College Prospect</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This conference features a boatload of talented college prospects who were considered for this distinction, but <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1367431' first='Adrien' last='Stevens']</strong> was the name that came to mind initially. He became indispensable for the Bulldogs by the end of his sophomore year. Don't be surprised to see Stevens establish himself as one of the better two-way players in the area throughout his junior campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best Home Court</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bullis on a Friday night can be as tough of a setting as you'll find within the conference. The student section gets rowdy regardless of the opponent and gives the home team plenty of energy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breakout Player</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep an eye on Episcopal 6'3" senior [player_tooltip player_id='1759752' first='Malcolm' last='Stute']. A physically strong guard who is a nice shooter, he enjoyed a productive summer and is heading into his senior year with some positive momentum. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Player Who Scares You</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1955967' first='Eric' last='Reibe']. The German southpaw 7-footer is not only a forceful paint presence who excels at shot blocking, but he is a real threat to make shots from outside as well as finish at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sleeper Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Albans. The Bulldogs have high expectations going into the season with 3 returning starters and a couple of new additions. Kahu Treacher will be a double-double threat each night while Gainesville native [player_tooltip player_id='1489103' first='Grant' last='Polk'], All-IAC guard [player_tooltip player_id='1768963' first='Jaylen' last='Wills'], and sleeper [player_tooltip player_id='1489028' first='Landon' last='Mills'] provide ample floor spacing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Projected Standings</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bullis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Georgetown Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Stephen's &amp; St. Agnes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Albans</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Episcopal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preseason All-IAC Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1225255' first='Tyler' last='Boston'] | Bullis '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1164818' first='Caden' last='Diggs'] | Bullis '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1260005' first='Aristeides' last='John Hobson'] | Landon '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1591318' first='Riley' last='Jacobs'] | SSSAS '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1370504' first='Frankie' last='Mannino'] | Landon '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1370506' first='Patrick' last='McDonough'] | Georgetown Prep '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1241901' first='Blake' last='Neal'] | SSSAS '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1955967' first='Eric' last='Reibe'] | Bullis '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1367431' first='Adrien' last='Stevens'] | Bullis '26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1759752' first='Malcolm' last='Stute'] | Episcopal '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1371865' first='Akbar' last='Waheed III'] | Georgetown Prep '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1768963' first='Jaylen' last='Wills'] | St. Albans '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
