MAC Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is our Mid-Atlantic 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>[player_tooltip player_id='1225257' first='Acaden' last='Lewis'] is that guy. Sidwell's skilled lefty creator enjoyed a breakout summer during which he tore it up on the EYBL and at the prestigious Top-100 camp. Lewis, who is expected to visit Virginia Tech this weekend, is currently being pursued by a handful of high-major programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best Home Court</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Andrew's, who has a top-notch facility, went 13-0 last season at home. The student section can get rowdy, especially for big games. As a bonus, the Lions probably have one of the more amazing concessions stands you'll find within the DMV, especially when you consider the diversity of selection for the price. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breakout Player</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1782590' first='Lawrence' last='Brown'] started all 31 games as a freshman, and was thoroughly impressive for the 24-win Lions. Expectations are higher going into year two but by all accounts, he is prepared to do work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Player Who Scares You</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1370500' first='Jalen' last='Rougier-Roane'] - Sidwell's versatile guard plays tough, hard, and smart. He will certainly be a player opposing teams will be keying in on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sleeper Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saint James. This is the first offseason in which Coach Kevin Breslin has experienced continuity within his program. [player_tooltip player_id='1782669' first='Jayden' last='Yates'] is looking to build off an All-MAC freshman campaign while newcomer [player_tooltip player_id='2242031' first='Lorcan' last='Hyndman'] is expected to contribute from day one. The Saints have more depth than in years past and should not be overlooked. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Projected Standings</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sidwell Friends</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Andrew's </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Potomac School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Flint Hill</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maret</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saint James</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Georgetown Day</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preseason All-MAC Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1366891' first='Xander' last='Alarie'] | St. Andrew's '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1782590' first='Lawrence' last='Brown'] | St. Andrew's '26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1489077' first='Elijah' last='Flowers'] | Potomac School '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1261987' first='Quin' last='Gorman'] | Flint Hill '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1782600' first='DJ' last='Hill'] | Maret '26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2242031' first='Lorcan' last='Hyndman'] | Saint James '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1225257' first='Acaden' last='Lewis'] | Sidwell Friends '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1225263' first='Malchiah' last='Marable'] | Maret '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1370500' first='Jalen' last='Rougier-Roane'] | Sidwell Friends '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1956067' first='EJ' last='Schneeberg'] | Potomac School '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2194756' first='Caleb' last='Williams'] | Sidwell Friends '24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1782669' first='Jayden' last='Yates'] | Saint James '26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
