He's a big time athlete with blazing speed in the open floor and a lightning quick first step to get by defenders, he finishes well around the rim with good hang time and the ability to finish through contact, he can knock it down from deep off the catch, and he jumps passing lanes to get easy buckets as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='2784495' first='Marty' last='Wray'] | 5'11” CG | New Kent 2026   Wray had a breakout season last year on a surprising New Kent team that made a deep run in the state tournament, and he's only upped his game this year as he's averaging 26.3 points per game and shooting 45% from deep for a 12-2 New Kent team. He's one of the best shooters in the state with deep range and a quick release to get his shot off, he moves well off the ball and reads screens well, he can create space off the bounce, and he gets to the line often where he is pretty much automatic.   Ethan McClanahan | 6'1” CG | Grundy 2026   McClanahan has been absolutely lighting it up for Grundy as one of the top players in SWVA, as he's averaging 25.4 points per game and is leading the state in three-pointers made with 57 through 16 games. The 6'1” combo is an absolute sniper from deep with in the gym range and a quick release, he moves well off the ball coming off of screens and setting his feet on the move, he can create space and does a great job making reads in ball screens, and he shows great confidence in his ability to let it fly.   Jordan Cropper | 6'4” SF | Arcadia 2026   Cropper has been nothing short of dominant on the Eastern Shore this year, averaging and efficient 24.3 points per game and dominating across the board as well. He's a big and physical wing who can crash the offensive glass and does a good job getting to the rim, he shoots it well from deep at 35% and is very efficient in the midrange, he can post smaller defenders and finish through contact, and he's a good defender who can turn defense into offense as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='2880084' first='Matthew' last='Owens'] | 6'3” SG | Luray 2026   Owens was an All State selection last season, and has been on a tear this season averaging 20.9 points per game and recently became the second leading scorer in Luray history. The 6'3” wing has good positional size and can get to spots in the midrange to rise up and knock down shots over defenders, he is a good shooter from deep with 50 made threes and shoots it at a 39% clip from deep, he works well off the ball cutting and using screens to get open, and he can handle the ball and get to the rim as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='2898034' first='Langston' last='Cook'] | 6'0” PG | Parry McLeur 2027   Cook was an All State selection last season at PM, and this year he's just continued to get better and better as one of the best guards in the western part of the state averaging 27.3 point per game this season. He's a do it all player who can score it and set up his teammates, he's super shifty with the ability to create space and make shots from all over the floor, he gets to the rim and is a good finisher over bigger defenders, he can work off the ball and get open off of screens, and he does a lot of the little things to help his team as well.   Owen Jackson | 6'4” SF | Fort Chiswell 2028   Jackson is leading the state in scoring at 34.8 points per game, and has been nothing short of dominant for a sophomore who is also a standout baseball prospect as well. The 6'4” wing is a do it all player as he's a good athlete who thrives in transition with his finishing ability, he can post up smaller defenders and scores it well over both shoulders, he can knock it down from deep both off the catch and off the bounce, and he's a very good rebounder on both ends too.   Samuel Peters | 6'0” PG | Redeemer Classical 2028   Peters has been a standout at Redeemer since he was an eight grader, and he's having a huge season for the Griffins averaging 26.9 points per game with the ultimate green light for the small school in Harrisonburg. He's a tough nosed player who attacks well off the bounce and finishes in traffic or gets to the line often, he can knock it down from deep off the catch, he has a great midrange game, and when defenses start to double him he's a capable and willing passer as well.
