In anticipation of this, we will be rolling out preview content over the next several weeks. Here is a look at the Preseason All-Junior Teams for Maryland Public Schools.
First Team
G – Ifanieye Lewis Ifanieye Lewis 6'0" | PG Eleanor Roosevelt | 2022 State MD
Lewis is on his way to becoming the next standout player to come out of Eleanor Roosevelt. He will be a difference-maker on both ends.
G – Bryce Lindsay Bryce Lindsay 6'2" | CG St. Frances | 2022 State MD
For Lindsay, a deep three-point shot is like a layup. Increased opportunities should lead to added production.
G – Trey Thomas Trey Thomas 6'3" | PG Wise | 2022 MD
Thomas has been a major impact player since his arrival at Wise. Expect another solid year from the talented guard.
G – Delonte Raynor Delonte Raynor 6'2" | CG Fairmont Heights | 2022 State MD
Fairmont Heights loses some key players in the backcourt from last year, and that means Raynor might be unleashed. He’s looked good during the offseason and appears ready for the added responsibility.
C – Jacory Wilkes Jacory Wilkes 6'6" | C Thomas Stone | 2022 State MD
Wilkes is a powerhouse who has become a forceful paint presence that SMAC foes will not enjoy matching up with. Expect him to move bodies and potentially tear down one or two rims throughout the season.
Second Team
G – Sammy Scott Sammy Scott 5'7" | PG Milford Mill | 2022 State MD
Scott is a reliable presence in the Milford Mill backcourt. We’ve come to expect consistency as his calling card.
G – Amir Dade Amir Dade 5'11" | PG St. Charles | 2022 State MD
Dade’s credentials make him a lock for this list. As in the past, his play will be an important factor in the ultimate success of St. Charles.
G – Mikhai Arnold Mikhai Arnold 6'0" | PG Frederick Douglass | 2022 State MD
Arnold is one of many talented guards in the local 2022 class from PG County. He’s been a starter at Douglass since his freshman year and has gained so much valuable experience.
G – Larry Bulluck Larry Bulluck 6'2" | CG Southern-AA | 2022 State MD
Bulluck would be an interesting bet to lead the state in scoring this year. He’s got the physical tools and skillset to do it.
F – John Thomas John Thomas 6'3" | SF Patterson | 2022 State MD
Thomas was an All-City Second Team performer last year at Patterson. He’s going to play a key role once again so you have to think he has a good chance to make the first team.
Third Team
G – Iyan Johnson Jr. Iyan Johnson Jr. 5'10" | PG Avalon | 2023 State MD
Johnson quietly put together a solid sophomore campaign at Kennedy. He’ll be in line for at least an encore.
G – Ryan Archey Ryan Archey 6'0" | PG Gwynn Park | 2022 State MD
Archey established himself as a fixture in the starting five for Coach Rob Garner at Gwynn Park. The first impression he made last year at the DMV Tip-Off was tremendous, and he’s been able to run with that momentum.
G – Jeff Womack Jeff Womack 6'2" | CG Bowie | 2022 MD
Womack might be unknown in most recruiting circles, but he might ultimately change that. He certainly had some bright moments as a sophomore at Bowie.
F – Derrick Key Derrick Key 6'5" | PF Fairmont Heights | 2022 MD
Key will make his presence felt every time he hits the floor because of his energy. He’ll serve as a useful building block at the heart of Coach Chuck Henry’s lineups.
C – Adam Walden Adam Walden 6'9" | C Baltimore Polytechnic | 2022 MD
Walden brings a physical inside presence that we’ve become accustomed to seeing at Poly. He’s improved considerably over the years and expectations are high.
