Player of the Year
MALCOLM DELANEY
Towson Catholic, Sr., G
The Virginia Tech-bound Delaney was often viewed as the second-most dangerous player on his own team. But he stood out alongside fellow first-teamer Donte Greene, earning the Baltimore Catholic League player of the year honors and leading theOwls to BCL and MIAA championships. He averaged 19.3 points, 4.2 assists and 2.7 steals per game.
Coach of the Year
JOSH PRATT, TOWSON CATHOLIC
While River Hill’s Matt Graves, New Town’s Mike Smith, Randallstown’s Kim Rivers and Dunbar’s Darnell Dantzler deserve a lot of credit for their teams’ playoff runs, it?s hard to argue with the numbers. Pratt’s Owls (32-6) didn’t lose a game to a local team all year and went undefeated in both the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association and the Baltimore Catholic League en route to both championships.
First team
ERIC BARKSDALE; Dunbar, Sr., G
The 5-foot-8 point guard did it all for Dunbar in a difficult senior season. He averaged 17.5 points and 8.5 assists and shot 45 percent from three-point range. He was at his best in clutch situations, leading the Poets to another state final appearance with a huge performance in overtime of the Class 1A semifinal.
TOMMY BRENTON; River Hill, Sr., G/F
The 6-foot-4 Brenton was on when the Hawks needed him. He scored 30 points in the state semifinal and 28 in the 3A championship game to lead River Hill to its first state title. He set a state record by hitting 19 of 20 free throws in the final and averaged 20 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in the regular season. He is getting a number of Division II and Division III college looks.
ARIC BROOKS; St. Frances, Sr., G/F
While Brooks has yet to make his decision on where he wants to play in college, it?s not for a lack of offers. A handful of local mid-majors have made overtures to the 6-foot-6 swingman, who helped St. Frances to a very strong regular season with 15 points per game.
BRAXTON DUPREE; Calvert Hall, Sr., C
Dupree (18.5 ppg, 10.4 rpg) might have created more waves this season had he played for a winning team, but he’ll get plenty of attention next season at College Park. The 6-foot-8 Dupree will be a key fixture in the paint for Maryland next season.
KIM ENGLISH; Randallstown, Sr., F
Overshadowed by James Madison-bound football talent Darrell Bryant, English emerged this year. He averaged 15 points and four rebounds for the 19-3 state champs. He’ll go to Notre Dame Prep (Mass.) next season, but is getting looks from major college programs like Miami and mid-majors like Loyola and Towson.
DONTE GREENE; Towson Catholic, Sr., F
With a freakish combination of athleticism and size, Greene (18.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg) could be destined for greatness at Syracuse. The BCL tournament MVP has a wide array of dunks and an improving mid-range jumper. He could be a force as a 6-foot-10 perimeter player.
DINO GREGORY; Mount St. Joseph, Sr., F
The Maryland-bound Gregory may not have had a spectacular statistical season (14.4 ppg, 8.5 rpg), but after losing four Division I starters from his junior season team, Gregory did well to keep a younger Gaels team competitive in his senior campaign.
SEAN MOSLEY; St. Frances, Jr., G
Mosley (16.5 ppg) could be destined for any of a number of major Division I programs on the East Coast. Scout.com has the 6-foot-4 shooting guard ranked No. 9 at his position with offers from a handful of ACC and Big East programs.
HENRY SIMS; Mount St. Joseph, Jr., C
The 6-foot-11 Sims could be the next big-name recruit to come out of the MIAA and BCL. While he’ll work to add some bulk to his wiry frame this offseason, Sims (11.1 ppg, 9.9 rpg) has already drawn some major D-I looks.
