The Seahawks graduated several key pieces from last year’s 3A state championship squad, and Oxendine is primed to step into the driver’s seat after a strong summer.

The 6-foot-2 is a confident and versatile scorer, highlighted by a 25-point outing in a loss to Poly (MD). He did a good job of getting to his spots, and was equally effective on and off the ball. He showed good touch on his jumper and did a nice job of getting into the lane and finishing. He also impressed with his ability to facilitate, consistently finding open teammates.

Oxendine added another 25 points in an overtime win over JM Bennett (MD) to cap a strong weekend.

-Top scorer of the day with a 25-point performance that showed the full range of Oxendine’s skillset in a game that came down to the closing minutes against Poly. Oxendine has some big shoes this year with the graduation of 4-year starters in the backcourt and looked the part on Sunday as a much more confident decision-maker and ball-handler. Oxendine’s ability to weave through the defense in transition led to at least 5 coast to coast layups off of the defensive rebound, scoring before his opponent could get set as a he flew by multiple defenders in the open break. Oxendine knocked down perimeter jumpers off the catch, hit several shots through contact, used his pivot to score effectively in the paint, and is much stronger finishing through contact at the rim this season.

Oxendine is one of the lone returners from last years 3A state championship team and while the production from the 2025-26 group of seniors will be impossible to replace, the 6-foot-2 senior guard will be a pivotal contributor this winter. His offense is set up by the gravity he demands from his defender beyond the arc. He has a quick trigger and can let it go from range off the move with precision. When he doesn’t quite have his feet under him, Oxendine looks to attack closeouts and rim it. He’ll utilize jump stops and use his pivot foot to create angles for scoop layups that he’s effcient with.

Oxendine initially stood out due to his ability to score the ball in every way, whether it was from inside, outside, or drawing fouls and getting to the line. He did, however, show off a lot of versatility as a combo guard, making plays for others, reading the defense to find the open man, and making some very tough passes through traffic.

-Oxendine came off the bench and had a huge personal 11-4 run to end the 1H on a strong note for his team. He rebounded a FT and hit the reverse layup before his opponent could react, came up with a big O board in traffic and got his opponent in the air to finish through the contact for an AND1 bucket, hit his matchup with an up fake step through into the inside hand lay, and had a nice assist over the top to his big in the short roll for a big-time dunk. His play off the bench gives his team a nice change of pace guard that guard up a few positions while filling up the stat sheet with his versatile play

While South River was sent back to Maryland with a tough setback at the hands of West Catholic (PA), Oxendine was still able to impress with his flair and versatility in the backcourt. A slender wing guard with intriguing athletic flashes, he showed a diverse skillset whether he was navigating traffic off the bounce, knocking down shots from the perimeter, or getting out in transition for athletic finishes. We’ll look to see more moving forward of how he fares within structure, as he found most of his success within more wide-open situations, but Oxendine certainly caught the eye with his aggressiveness and natural ability.
