St. Frances
The Panthers collected two wins against Landon and Sidwell Friends. Leading the attack was 2023 guards Carlton Carrington Carlton Carrington 6'4" | CG St. Frances | 2023 State #84 Nation MD (16.5PPG) and Maryland commit Jahnathan Lamothe Jahnathan Lamothe 6'3" | CG St. Frances | 2023 State #204 Nation MD (16PPG). 2025 point guard Tyler Jackson Tyler Jackson 6'2" | CG St. Frances | 2025 #40 Nation MD had his fair share of moments breaking down his defender and getting to the rim for crafty finishes. 2024 Jordan Downs is a name who has been with the program, but seems to have increased confidence and a skill set that can help him earn respectable minutes within the rotation for the winter.
Landon
2023 Tyler Perkins Tyler Perkins 6'4" | SG Landon | 2023 State #268 Nation MD was a clear standout for the Bears and despite suffering a loss to St. Frances, the 6-foot-3 southpaw lead guard tallied 26 points. He scored from mid-range off the bounce and finished athletically around and above the rim. Defensively he moved with grace laterally and kept his matchup at bay. On a few occasions he protected the rim in transition, which further confirmed his athletic ability. Perkins holds an offer from Albany and has unofficial visits to Loyola (MD), Brown, Cornell and Albany scheduled.
Archbishop Spalding
The Cavaliers are stacked with young talent led by 2025 Malik Washington Malik Washington 6'5" | SF Archbishop Spalding | 2025 MD . The 6-foot-5 do-it-all forward scored 13 points in their win over National Christian. As usual, he contributed by crashing the glass, securing 50/50’s and making winning plays on a routine basis. 2026 point guard Kam Carter plays with a presence that is mature beyond his years. The 5-foot-6 guard has good understanding of time and score, when to look for his own scoring opportunities and how to get others involved.
National Christian
2023 guard Isaiah Coleman Isaiah Coleman 6'5" | SF Word of God | 2023 State #59 Nation NC has established himself as one of the best scorers in the area. The 6-foot-5 combo guard scored 17 points in the loss to Spalding, but had showcased his scoring prowess from all three levels throughout the contest. He’s at his best in isolation scenarios or in the open floor where his athleticism and burst can overwhelm opponents who are caught on their heels.
Rosedale Christian
Rosedale Christian has revamped under their new coaching staff with a completely new roster. 2023 forward Ethan Goon Ethan Goon 6'7" | PF Bishop Manogue | 2023 NC will be a name to watch. At 6-foot-7, he can stretch the floor and also showed some ability to operate off of 1-to-2 dribbles. 2024 Isaiah Williams Isaiah Williams 6'3" | CG Rosedale Christian | 2024 MD will fill the role as lead guard and provide an aggressive scoring approach from the backcourt. Both performed well in their commanding win over Flint Hill.
Mt. Carmel
This year’s Cougars will pride themselves on their depth and balance throughout the rotation. In a dominant win over Maret, the wealth was spread evenly. 2024 guard Tjay Beckles Tjay Beckles 5'10" | PG Overlea | 2023 State MD found his mark from deep on his way to 12 points. 2024 guard Andrew Dixon Andrew Dixon 6'1" | PG Mt. Carmel | 2024 State MD had some impressive moments breaking his man down off the bounce, getting in to the paint and finishing with soft touch. 2024 wing Buddy Williams filled the lanes and finished consistently in transition, while the 2023 frontcourt duo of Omarion Reid Omarion Reid 6'6" | C Mt. Carmel | 2023 State MD and Mitchell Kalu Mitchell Kalu 6'5" | PF Mt. Carmel | 2023 State MD held down the inside.
Sidwell Friends
It doesn’t make a difference if it’s the offseason or not, head coach Eric Singletary is going to have his team executing at both ends. 2023 point guard Cam Gillus Cam Gillus 5'10" | PG Sidwell Friends | 2023 State MD orchestrated his team well in a half-court setting. He moved well without the ball and knocked down multiple jumpers while curling off pin down screens. He made sound reads in ball-screen situations and found open shooters on the perimeter on paint touches. 2024 Caleb Williams Caleb Williams 6'7" | SF Sidwell Friends | 2024 State #93 Nation MD knocked down shots with regularity from the perimeter. He was effective at moving off of Gillus’ drives to make himself available in the corners and made his defender pay for split-second hesitations on closeouts.
