Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.) begins the season
as favorites to capture the program's first Washington Catholic Athletic
Conference championship since 2013-14 with a strong returning core led
by an elite backcourt of high-major prospects.
The
talented Panthers rotation has a balance of experience and youth as
four players who started for coach Glenn Farello at some point last season return to the WCAC
powerhouse.
Trevor Keels
is expected to be the go-to scorer this season, while Dug McDaniel will
again orchestrate the offense from the point. Top 50 sophomore prospect DeShawn Harris-Smith and
talented newcomer Kris Mickens join Keels and McDaniel in the backcourt.
Paul VI will rely on frontcourt returners Tyler Coleman and Jack Jensen along with highly-regarded freshman prospect Garrett Sundra.
Paul VI ended the year outside the MaxPreps Top 25 at No. 29 after a 27-8 season. This battle-tested group should be ready for the rigors of one of the nation's most difficult conference schedules.
