Hyattsville, MD - Now in its eighth year, the National High School Hoop Festival run by Keith Stevens and Team Takeover was filled with tremendous matchups that paired local DMV powers against some of the top high school programs in the nation for one very exciting day of hoops.

2016 St. John's (DC) point guard Anthony Cowan - Cowan had a strong all-around performance on both the offensive and defensive end. He got into the lanes using his speed and distributed to his teammates. But when he needed to, he scored in the lane or shot the long ball. Cowan's timely shooting not only led to one, but two, buzzer beaters from deep. He plays hard on defense and forces turnovers with his pestering size and speed. Scheduled to visit Louisville unofficially next weekend, he is also looking at Florida State, Xavier, Maryland, Georgetown, Penn State and others.

2016 DeMatha (MD) shooting guard Markelle Fultz - A fall stock riser, Fultz has really improved his game by utilizing a pull-up jumper as his biggest strength. This goes along with his aggressive nature off the dribble where he can get to the cup and use his body to make contact and score. Fultz plays hard on both ends and has a really good motor and ability to find the right shots. This has led to a major boost in his recruitment with new offers in the past few months from Wake Forest, South Carolina, Memphis, Georgetown, Cincinnati, George Mason, Maryland, Miami and Washington with several others who offered 

2015 Montrose Christian (MD) guard Kyle DePollar - After transferring to Montrose for his senior year, the combo guard has picked up some low D1 college interest. He proved his value by showing a lot of heart on the court despite being a bit undersized. DePollar drew contact when attacking the basket, shot the ball well from outside and ran some of the offense. He wasn't afraid to get knocked around and hustle despite being outmatched physically. Several schools are showing interest, such as Fairleigh Dickinson and numerous Ivy League programs, in the guard.
