Honorable Mentions (in no order):
Coyer Keeps Record Spotless — No. 3 Oakton trailed No. 10 Mount Vernon by 19 in the second quarter, but Cougar freshman Caroline Coyer caught fire. Coyer scored 18 of her game-high 22 points in the last two-plus quarters as Oakton kept its perfect record in tact and advance to the Northern Region final.
Coleman Exclamation Point — McNamara center Brandon Coleman‘s dunk gave the Mustangs a four-point lead in OT and
was really the ****** blow in a 65-58 overtime win over Good Counsel in the WCAC
quarterfinals.
Tonkins Truck — Northern guard Malik Tonkins steals the ball and dishes
ahead to Dustin Jones to put the exclamation mark on the Patriots 68-61 win
over defending Maryland 3A state champ Largo on Friday night. The 5’5″
Tonkins scored a team-high 20 points and got a lift from his coach.
Orange Crush — Fighting Hornet swingman Dennis Brown gets a huge block in the lane and, in one motion, is headed up-court for a game-clinching, transition dunk in Orange County’s 65-59 road win over Broad Run in the Region II D4 semifinals.
No. 10 — Hulk, Smash!
Montgomery County, Maryland — Jaguar junior Willie Lee, nicknamed “Hulk,” recorded 26 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists as Northwest — one year after a 1-21 season — defeated Wootton on the road in the first-round of the 4A West playoffs.
No. 9 — Three for All
Prince William County, Virginia — In a match-up of the Cedar Run and Cardinal District Players of the Year, Stonewall Jackson junior Kyani White and Forest Park senior Danni Jackson combined for 11 3-pointers in the Northwest Region championship. White won the barrage-de-trois, 6-5, but Jackson outscored her, 39-23, and the Bruins repeated as regional champs, 75-56.
No. 8 — Guerere Dagger
W.C.A.C., Va./Md./D.C. — O’Connell sophomore Alex Guerere wins the puck out of a forecheck, skates in and wrists a shot over the shoulder of the Stone Bridge goalie to lift the fourth-seeded Knights over the previously unbeaten Bulldogs — who had won 48 of their last 49 games. The win earned O’Connell a spot in the Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League finals.
No. 7 — Johnny on the Spot
S.M.A.C., Maryland — La Plata 125-pound wrestler Johnny Thomas gets a clutch, triple-overtime victory in the 4A/3A South Region Tournament on Saturday to capture one of the Warriors’ five individual championships. La Plata qualified 11 wrestlers for next week’s state tournament, where the Warriors look to defend last year’s state title.
No. 6 — Up, Up and Oladipo!
W.C.A.C., Va./Md./D.C. — DeMatha junior Victor Oladipo finishes a give-and-go with senior Marcus Rouse with the rim at eye level on the receiving end of a vicious fast-break alley-oop. The Stags beat St. Mary’s-Ryken, 55-42, in the W.C.A.C. quarterfinals. This was Oladipo’s only field goal.
No. 5 — A.J. Thomas Fires from Friendly
Prince George’s County, Maryland — In the Prince George’s County championship, and time winding down in the third quarter, Friendly senior A.J. Thomas drills a step-back 3-pointer from 35 feet out. The distance shot at the neutral site, Wise, gave the Patriots a one-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter.
No. 4 — Beale Un-Friendly Demeanor
Prince George’s County, Maryland — Later in that same game, Laurel junior Jerrium Beale is on the receiving end of senior Marcus Hebron‘s alley-oop pass for a jam over a Friendly defender to steal the momentum. The contested dunk was part of a decisive, 10-0 fourth-quarter run for Spartans.
No. 3 — Winbush … Winner
Northern Region, Virginia — In the Northern Region semifinals with the score tied at 57, Hayfield junior Brandon Winbush hits the game-winning 3-pointer with :03.2 seconds to defeat Mount Vernon — who entered with a 19-game winning streak — and lift the Hawks into the regional final and guarantee a berth in the state tournament.
No. 2 — HOLY Cross!
W.C.A.C., Va./Md./D.C. — In the W.C.A.C. semifinals on Sunday with the score tied at 44, Holy Cross senior NaTasha Thames — 10 seconds after missing a pair of would-be go-ahead free throws — channels her inner Lorenzo Charles, and gets a leaping, buzzer-beating putback to lift her team over Seton.
No. 1 — Clark Caps Cinderella Run
W.C.A.C., Va./Md./D.C. — With NVSHL Player of the Year Chris Bond absent — due to club commitments — O’Connell caps its Cinderella run, winning its first-ever NVSHL title over Forest Park, 6-5, on this overtime goal by Knight sophomore Chris Clark.
