Edison Will Be Hard to Beat
Even without returning All-Region senior Mike Montano, who sat out due to injury, Edison looks quite formidable. The Eagles have length all across the board. 2022 Conner Spearman, a bouncy 6-foot-7ish forward, is an active defender who thrives in the open court. 2024 Teddy Morgan is one to keep an eye on as well. The Minnesota native, who stands 6-foot-3, plays much bigger due to his length. Morgan does a bit of everything well, but his most impressive trait is his playmaking ability. He is one of the better passers you’ll find in Northern Virginia.
Osbourn Shows Promise
Coach Carter has a young group at Osbourn that might be ready to make some noise this year. 2024 Teyvien Barbour has a chance to be one of the more dangerous players in the region. He is a lights-out shooter who brings versatility, size, and toughness. Barbour has plenty of help too. 2024 Amonte Williams is a dynamic young point guard prospect. Williams is lightning fast, skilled, and confident. 2024 Savon Honesty provides toughness and dependability in the paint. Honesty is tremendous at walling up and preventing easy looks at the rim. And 2023 Idris Johnson is an absolute workhorse. Johnson attacks the rim with aggression and helps clean the glass. All of these players have good skill bases that should continue to grow over time.
West Potomac Looks Strong
West Potomac is another team that will be hard to beat. They get rock-solid point guard play from 2023 Donovan Bass Donovan Bass 6'1" | PG Hayfield | 2023 State VA , who we just learned is ambidextrous. Bass was seen zipping bounce passes in transition with his right hand. He also made a right-handed layup in traffic. Then he proceeded to drill a couple of treys with his left hand. 2023 Nigel Henderson could be the X-Factor for this team. Henderson is a rangy wing who plays above the rim.
Woodbridge Defends
It looks like Woodbridge is looking to establish their identity as a defensive team. 2022 Michael Cooper Michael Cooper 6'3" | SF Woodbridge | 2022 State VA is the centerpiece of the defense. While the guards pressure the ball in the backcourt, Cooper patrols the passing lanes like a free safety. He loves the open court where he is adept at scoring and making plays.
Experience Will Help Woodson
WT Woodson returns many key contributors from last year’s team. Lefty 2022 swingman Alex Klein averaged double figures last year and is a safe bet to do so again this year. Klein is a prolific shooter from behind the arc who can also mix it up from 15-feet and in. 2022 floor general Andre Pacheco is a menace on the defensive end. Expect him to draw multiple on-ball charges due to his uncanny positional awareness.
