<p>While we’re certainly taking things one day at a time, the prospects of high school basketball occurring in the DMV this winter are more promising now than they have been in quite a while. In anticipation of this, we will be rolling out preview content over the next several weeks. Here is a look at the Preseason All-Senior Teams for Maryland Public Schools. </p>
<h5><strong>First Team</strong></h5>
<p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902001" first="Ryan" last="Conway"]</strong></p>
<p>When curating this list, Conway was one of the first names that emerged. His resume speaks for itself.</p>
<p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="775332" first="Nick" last="Marshall"]</strong></p>
<p>Marshall has blossomed into a top player in Howard County. He had a solid junior year, but given his expected uptick in usage, he should be in for an even better senior year. </p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="902030" first="Barry" last="Evans"]</strong></p>
<p>Evans is a significant addition to Poly’s roster as they look to continue their dominance in 3A. The former Oakland Mills star should be a fine addition to the team because of his versatility. </p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="902032" first="Bobby" last="Hill"]</strong></p>
<p>Hill was another quickly determined first-team lock. He has never looked better.</p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="712751" first="Abdou" last="Samb"]</strong></p>
<p>Samb has been a tremendous anchor at Douglass for a while now. Expect the future Rhody Ram to close out his high school career in style. </p>
<h5><strong>Second Team</strong></h5>
<p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902037" first="Kordell" last="Lewis"]</strong></p>
<p>Lewis will be entering his fourth year as the starting varsity point guard at Richard Montgomery and has won a lot of games in that span. He should continue to be an effective leader for a competitive Rockets squad moving forward. </p>
<p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="902040" first="Trae" last="English"]</strong></p>
<p>English will finally be unleashed after playing next to and behind [player_tooltip player_id="900152" first="Rahim" last="Ali"] at Poly for the past 3 years. He’s looked quite good this summer and should be able to deliver the goods. </p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="902069" first="Mike" last="Woods"]</strong></p>
<p>Woods burst onto the scene last year and gave Douglass an added dimension that made them a tough out most nights. The Navy commit, who was one of the area’s top stock risers this summer, should be able to build off the momentum he has created. </p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="902020" first="Jake" last="Koverman"]</strong></p>
<p>Koverman is back to playing at a high level after being forced to miss a significant amount of time due to injury. He slots into the second team as we expect him to be a consistent producer moving forward.</p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="902013" first="Thomas" last="Whitley"]</strong></p>
<p>Whitley will likely be asked to embrace a bigger role in his senior year at Roosevelt. He’s been waiting in the wings for a while now and is in line for a breakout. </p>
<h5><strong>Third Team</strong></h5>
<p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="954245" first="Stalin" last="Oaks"]</strong></p>
<p>Oaks quietly put together a splendid campaign during his junior year at La Plata. The shifty lead guard should continue to excel in the SMAC. </p>
<p><strong>G - [player_tooltip player_id="775363" first="Darrius" last="Tilghman"]</strong></p>
<p>While Tilghman isn’t going to pour in 30 points a night, he finds many ways to impact the game and has done so on numerous occasions at Parkville. The Chestnut Hill commit seems like a worthy selection for the third team when you consider this. </p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="902046" first="O’Meech" last="Wilson"]</strong></p>
<p>Wilson is a hidden gem from North County who is an imposing paint presence. He is in consideration as a top rim protector in the state and should not be overlooked. </p>
<p><strong>F - [player_tooltip player_id="1049493" first="Jamai" last="Felt"]</strong></p>
<p>Felt is an intriguing front-court prospect who made a name for himself this summer. Randallstown’s man in the middle will definitely be a name to watch this season. </p>
<p><strong>F - Tyson Brooks Jr.</strong></p>
<p>Brooks is a physical marvel with natural shot-blocking ability. The standout from Arundel is probably not a particularly well-known name at the moment but might be on his way to changing that. </p>
