With the 2018-19 high school basketball season firmly in the rearview mirror, we are proud to announce our All-District selections for Washington, D.C.

Our staff would like to thank the players, coaches and fans who made this past season – our ninth year of high school coverage – a success, and we look forward to many more. In addition to this All-DC team (which features only players from schools located in the District), we'll be rolling out All-Maryland and All-Northern Virginia teams this week, culminating in our overall All-DMVelite squad.

And now, here’s our selection of the District’s best of the best – the 2019 DMVelite All-DC Team:

PLAYER OF THE YEAR: JASON GIBSON, SIDWELL FRIENDS 2019 GUARD

In his first year as the offensive focal point, Gibson delivered, averaging a team-best 20.8 points for the DCSAA AA champion Quakers. Gibson stuffed several other stat categories as well, putting up 4.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.8 steals per game.

The Towson University commit excelled while leading Sidwell on its run through the DCSAA Tournament, hitting a game-winning buzzer-beater in a quarterfinal win over McKinley Tech, scoring a game-high 28 in a semifinal win over St. John’s, and capping it with a game-high 24 in the title game victory against Wilson.

COACH OF THE YEAR: ERIC SINGLETARY, SIDWELL FRIENDS

Singletary lost his top player - Villanova freshman guard Saddiq Bey - to graduation. Instead of taking a step back, he guided the Quakers to one of their most successful finishes in school history, capped with a thrilling DCSAA title victory against heavily-favored Wilson.
