One of the toughest regions at the top last year featured the state champions in George Wythe, and conference foes Hopewell and John Marshall who were two of the top teams in the state. The region gets even more competitive, with two time defending 4A state champs Norcom joining the group. The four of them, along with a few other competitors in both the east and west region, makes the 3A division a competitive one full of next level talent at all levels. Here’s our picks for the 3A Preseason All Region team.
MVP: Maliek White; Senior PG; George Wythe
