Home Stretch All-Met Watch

<p>Who are the frontrunners for the All-Met First Team? Here is a closer look at some of the candidates as the season winds down.</p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="777061" first="Favour" last="Aire"] | Bishop McNamara (MD) '22</h5> <p>McNamara has lost just 3 games to date and currently sits in the top-five of our <a href="https://prephoops.com/maryland/team-rankings/">power rankings</a>. Aire's presence in the paint continues to make opponents think twice before attacking the basket.  </p> <h5><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/darren-buchanan-jr/">Darren Buchanan Jr.</a> | Woodrow Wilson (DC) '22</h5> <p>Buchanan posted a <a href="https://prephoops.com/2022/02/monday-nights-top-performers/">monster double-double</a> in the DCIAA Semifinals to lead the Tigers over McKinley Tech. The versatile senior will all but lock up his spot on this team if Wilson hoists the trophy tonight. </p> <h5>Nasir Coleman | Patriot (VA) '23 </h5> <p>Coleman has emerged as one of the more dynamic playmakers in Northern Virginia. He led the Pioneers to a 20-0 regular-season record and has them firmly in the conversation for the state championship. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="837921" first="Devin" last="Dinkins"] | Gonzaga (DC) '22</h5> <p>Dinkins has been a consistent producer throughout the season for Coach Turner and the Eagles. The George Mason commit is considered among the area's top scorers and three-point shooters. Dinkins is currently averaging 18.6 points per game per <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/allmetsports/2020-winter/leaders/boys-basketball/">All-Met Sports</a>. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="957022" first="Cam" last="Gillus"] | Sidwell Friends (DC) '23</h5> <p>Gillus earned high praise from Coach Singletary this preseason, and he's lived up to the hype so far. The Quakers, winners of 20 straight games, are perhaps the hottest team in the area. Gillus has been rock solid at the point, both offensively and defensively. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="962815" first="Charlie" last="Jackson"] | Episcopal (VA) '22</h5> <p>Jackson has improved considerably since he arrived at Episcopal. He finished the regular season as Episcopal's leading scorer, averaging 18.1 points per game for the IAC's #1 seed. Jackson recently posted a 21-point, 12-rebound, 10-assist triple-double for the Maroon. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="1115503" first="Greg" last="Jones"] | Hayfield (VA) '23</h5> <p>Jones has been a consistent all-around contributor for the still unbeaten Hawks. His playmaking ability is one of his standout qualities. </p> <h5><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/knasir-mcdaniel/">Dug McDaniel</a> | Paul VI (VA) '22</h5> <p>McDaniel led PVI to a perfect record in conference road games this season. As expected, he's been super reliable at the point for the Panthers.</p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="904621" first="Rodney" last="Rice"] | DeMatha (MD) '22</h5> <p>Rice and the Stags have won 9 of their last 10 games. Just last week, we saw the Virginia Tech commit drop 25 at O'Connell with his future head coach in the building. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="1280965" first="Tre" last="Stott"] | Churchill (MD) '23</h5> <p>Stott is the leading scorer for one of Montgomery County's most dangerous squads. The lefty is currently averaging north of 17 points per game. </p>
