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 Private Schools.
First Team
G - Jalen Miller
JalenMiller6'2" | PGBishop Walsh | 2021State#151NationMD
Miller was one of the first names that came to mind when thinking of this list. He’s rugged and battle-tested.
G - Erik Reynolds
ErikReynolds6'2" | CGBullis | 2021State#197NationMD
As we saw last year against Carroll, Reynolds has the ability to take a game by the scruff of its neck. That’s why he’s a first-teamer.
F - Jordan Hawkins
JordanHawkins6'5" | SFDeMatha | 2021State#41NationMD
Hawkins has improved at a rate as good as just about anyone else on this list over the last 12 months. With a year of WCAC bump under his belt, he should be able to raise his level once again.
F - Jakai Robinson
JakaiRobinson6'4" | SFRock Creek Christian | 2021State#53NationMD
You can’t argue with Robinson’s consistent level of production since his freshman season. He is a super reliable, versatile player who can fit seamlessly into

F -
Jared Billups
JaredBillups6'5" | SFMcDonogh | 2021StateMD
Billups has been an absolute rock at McDonough for a number of years now. You know he’s going to bring it every night and that’s why he’s on the first team.
Second Team
G -
Bez Mbeng
BezMbeng6'3" | CGGood Counsel | 2021State#190NationMD
Mbeng is a fine all-around player who enjoyed a breakout junior campaign. The reigning All WCAC First-Teamer remains one of the best available seniors in the area.

National Christian added a key building block in
Brayon Freeman
BrayonFreeman6'1" | CGNational Christian | 2021State#204NationMD. The GW commit will be a key contributor on both ends of the floor.
G -
D’Angelo Stines
D’AngeloStines6'2" | CGMount St. Joseph | 2021StateMD
Coach Clatchey has nothing but good things to say about Stines, who is among the most improved players in the MSJ program. ODU is getting a steal in this skilled guard.
F -
Devon SavageDevonSavage6'4" | SFRiverdale Baptist | 2021StateMD
Savage emerged as a go-to scorer last season at Riverdale. The sharpshooting wing should find himself among the area’s leading scorers next season.
F -
Julian Reese
JulianReese6'8" | CSt. Frances | 2021State#109NationMD
Reese will once again be a defensive player of the year candidate in the MIAA/BCL. The Maryland commit is still just scratching the surface and should continue to make positive strides in the coming months.
Third Team
G -
Elijah Hawkins
ElijahHawkins5'9" | PGDeMatha | 2021StateMD
What’s one word to describe Hawkins? Winner. He was a no-brainer to make this list.
G -
Kino Lilly Jr.KinoLilly Jr.6'0" | CGLandon | 2021StateMD
Lilly will be must-see TV at Landon this year. He will surely be one of the favorites to lead the area in scoring.
F -
Khyrie Staten
KhyrieStaten6'2" | CGSt. Frances | 2021StateMD
Staten’s consistency makes him close to a lock here. He truly broke out last season, becoming a nightly contributor to a winning squad.
F -
James Gross Jr.JamesGross Jr.6'3" | CGRock Creek Christian | 2021StateMD
Gross is a forceful presence who does all the unheralded work that every team needs. For that, he earns a spot on the third team.
F -
TJ Gadsden
TJGadsden6'6" | PFSt. Andrew's | 2021StateMD
Gadsden’s contributions to his team’s championship last season goes beyond the stats. He learned how to lead not just with words, but actions each time he stepped on the court.
