The following student-athletes have been selected to The Washington Post’s 2023-24 All-Met team for boys’ basketball:
First team
Tey Barbour, G, Sr., Patriot
The Harvard signee helped the Pioneers return to the Virginia Class 6 title game. He averaged 20 points and six rebounds for the Prince William County powerhouse.
Ben Hammond, G, Sr., Paul VI
An experienced floor general for the area’s most talented team, Hammond averaged seven assists as the Panthers dominated the D.C. area.
Acaden Lewis, G, Jr., Sidwell Friends
Lewis is the latest in a long line of playmaking guards at Sidwell. The shifty scorer averaged 14.5 points as the Quakers earned two titles.
Nyk Lewis, G, Jr., Gonzaga
A repeat first-teamer, Lewis expanded his game this year, averaging 13 points, six rebounds and 4.5 assists for the WCAC’s runner-up.
Jordan Scott, F, Jr., South Lakes
An atypical star, Scott averaged 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four blocks as the Seahawks pieced together an improbable championship campaign.
Adrien Stevens, G, Jr., Bullis
The highflying Stevens has seen his stock soar in the past year, as he averaged 14 points and shot 43 percent from deep to help the Bulldogs win an outright title in the Interstate Athletic Conference.
Bryson Tucker, G, Sr., Bishop O’Connell
In his first season in the WCAC, Tucker handled himself just fine — averaging 20 points and five rebounds for the Knights.
Cam Ward, F, Jr., Largo
The catalyst of the Lions’ Maryland Class 2A state title win, Ward totaled 26.4 points and 11.8 rebounds per game.
Caleb Williams, F, Sr., Sidwell Friends
The versatile Georgetown signee closed his high school career by helping the Quakers to another pair of conference and state titles.
Coach of the Year
Mike Desmond, South Lakes
In his fourth season with the Seahawks, the gruff but fair Desmond took a group that admitted it struggled with egos into one that coalesced into a dominant postseason force. After getting bounced in the state semifinals in its previous two seasons, South Lakes was dominant on both sides of the ball, winning its first state title following a 65-39 drubbing of Patriot.
