<p>With the high school season getting underway, we at Prep Hoops VA will be taking a look at some previews for the season in each classification. We'll look at both state title contenders, as well as preseason All State teams. Here's a look at our picks for Preseason Second Team All State in VHSL Class 4.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2618817' first='Arrie' last='McWilliams'] | 6'2” SG | Hanover '26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McWilliams had a great summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2248971' first='River' last='City Reign'] after making a name for himself as a sophomore, and coming into his junior season he should be one of the best players in the Richmond area. He'll have the green light for the Hawks, and his ability to knock down shots and score the ball should have him putting up consistent numbers that will be impressive when it's all said and done. He can stroke it from deep with the best of them with effortless range from deep, he moves well off the ball to get open and he's shown improvement in his ability to create off the bounce too.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2618837' first='Christian' last='Dinges'] | 6'4” SF | Handley '26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dinges is a player to keep an eye on, as he's shown a lot of improvement over the past few years and could be a breakout player in the Winchester area this season. At 6'4” with long arms, Dinges is an impactful player on both ends that can challenge shots and get deflections, and he's able to turn defense into offense with his ability to handle in transition and finish at the rim. He can knock down open shots off the ball, he is unselfish and makes plays for others and he is a good rebounder and defender as well.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2309973' first='Kobe' last='Morrison'] | 6'2” CG | GW Danville '26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morrison was an All State selection in Class 3 last year at Tunstall, and he transfers to GW where he's stepping into the go-to role for the prominent program right away. The 6'2” combo guard is dynamic off the bounce with blow by speed and a handle that allows him to get to spots and make tough shots from multiple levels. He can knock down open shots off the catch, is a very good finisher around the rim and can make plays for others as well.</p>

<p><strong>Desean Parham | 6'3” CG | Huguenot '26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Parham is set to have a big junior season at Huguenot after going through a growth spurt and showing continued improvement throughout the last few years. The 6'3” combo guard is a downhill threat who can use his frame to finish well in traffic, and he's capable of putting constant pressure on the defense to make plays for others too. He can score the ball from all three levels, is a good on ball defender and should put up big numbers throughout the season.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459215' first='Gavin' last='Kay'] | 6'8” C | Hampton '26</strong></p>

<p>Kay played a big role on the Crabbers' state championship run last year, and he comes into the season as one of the best bigs in the 757 and a player that will be hard for teams to matchup with. At 6'8” he's a good athlete who can run the floor and play in transition and is able to play above the rim consistently both in transition and in half court sets. He has solid ball skills that makes him able to take slower bigs off the bounce, he is a good rebounder and rim protector and he is getting better every day.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2353676' first='Quimar' last='Crittendon'] | 5'11” PG | Churchland '27</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Crittendon is coming off an impressive freshman season, and he's going to be the primary ball handler for a Churchland team that is looking to go all the way this year. The 5'11” guard is a quick twitch and shifty ball handler who can break down defenders and touch the paint at will to make plays for himself and others. He gets to the rim and is a crafty finisher in traffic, he can score the ball in different ways off the bounce and he is a very good on ball defender too.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459370' first='Kevin' last='Mayo'] | 6'3” SG | Henrico ‘26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Mayo is coming off a big summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2248971' first='River' last='City Reign'] where he showed he can score the ball in a lot of different ways, and he'll be a great second option for a Henrico team that will be very good this year. At 6'3” he has good size on the perimeter and can play on or off the ball, and he understands how to move and get to spots to get good looks. He can knock it down from deep off the catch and off the move, he can work in isolation and pick-and-roll sets with the ball in his hands and he's an unselfish and hard working player who does the little things too.</p>
