MEHKI LONG, ST. MARY’S-RYKEN (MD) WING

JUSTIN MOORE, DEMATHA (MD) GUARD
Coming off a freshman campaign in which Moore [PICTURED] served as a vital piece off the bench, the rising sophomore is primed to make noise and crack the starting rotation this fall for the nationally renowned Stags. At the DMVelite 80, Moore averaged 6.7 points per game while dishing out 5 assists in three games. He also didn’t commit a single turnover in the event. (KM)
JASON MURPHY, CHAPELGATE CHRISTIAN (MD) FORWARD
Murphy is one of the area’s top young post prospects, with interest from a host of high-major programs such as Georgetown, Kansas State, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington. Murphy - who averaged 3.7 points per game - has great length and athleticism and was highly active on both ends of the floor. (MH)
MARVIN PRICE, PATTERSON (MD) GUARD
Price’s versatility was on full display in a stat-stuffing performance, as he put up 8.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game while contributing two assists, two blocks and a steal. Price is a matchup problem for opposing guards, and effectively uses his strength to get to the basket and finish through contact. (MH)
