Wilson's Ayinde Hikim headlines our collection of The District's best.

With the 2017-18 high school basketball season now 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 eighth 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 early next week, culminating in our overall All-DMVelite squad.

And now, here’s our selection of the District’s best of the best – the 2018 DMVelite All-DC Team:

PLAYER OF THE YEAR: AYINDE HIKIM, WILSON 2018 GUARD
Hikim finished his high school career in style, averaging a team-high 13.5 points and 7 assists per game while leading the Tigers to the DC Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) and DC State Athletic Association (DCSAA) titles. He was named DCIAA Player of The Year.
 

COACH OF THE YEAR: MICHAEL POWELL, ARCHBISHOP CARROLL
The first-year head coach and his new staff immediately instilled a winning culture at Carroll, as the Lions improved from 0-22 a year ago to 17-13 this winter. Their 8 Washington Catholic Athletic Conference wins were their most since 2011-12, and doubled their number of league victories combined since then (one apiece in 2012-13 and 2015-16, two in 2014-15 and none in 2016-17).It was a remarkable turnaround, and with a young corp set to return the Lions should continue their strides under Powell next season.
