A two-time gold medalist with Team USA, King was named the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year and earned spots in both the McDonald’s All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic. The Louisville commit averaged 22.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

Javin DeLaurier, F, St. Anne’s-Belfield (Charlottesville), 6-8/215, Sr.
A two-time Virginia Prep League Player of the Year, DeLaurier averaged 21.0 points, 12.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists for the Saints and committed to Duke.

SECOND TEAM

De’Riante Jenkins, F, Hargrave Military (Chatham), 6-6/175, Sr.

COACH OF THE YEAR
Doug Ewell, Westfield (Chantilly)
 Ewell guided the Bulldogs to the first 6A title in school history, a year after they fell one point short. Westfield (26-3) routed Oscar Smith, 74-56, in the title game—ironically, the same foe the Bulldogs defeated three months earlier in the 6A football final. A half-dozen players did double duty on both squads, as Westfield became only the second school to ever win both football and basketball 6A crowns in the same school year.
