Oak Hill Academy (VA)
Overview
Oak Hill has been a perennial powerhouse for well over a decade now and they will look to continue their run of dominance this season. Last year was another successful season as they finished 32-8 and lost their final game at the GEICO Nationals to another powerhouse, Link Academy (MO). This year will be Coach Yerrick Stoneman’s first season as the head coach, but he has over a decade of experience as an assistant coach at Oak Hill. This year’s team is not as highly regarded as some of the teams in recent years but that will not deter them from their ultimate goal.
Player Spotlight
Dantae Russo-Nance is a 6 '3 do-it-all point guard from New Zealand. On the defensive end, he is a stout on ball defender with active hands. He comes up with steals on the regular and forces turnovers from inexperienced guard play. On the offensive end, Dantae is a dynamic downhill threat. He does a great job of turning the corner off dribble hand-offs and high pick and roll situations. He has a quick release from behind the arc and he can shoot it efficiently on step backs and hesi-pull ups.
Supporting Cast
Per usual, the Warriors are not carried by only one player. 6’7 Junior, Micah Robinson, and 6’5 Junior, AJ Swinton, will provide plenty of scoring, defense, and versatility on the wing. Sophomore guard, Kaden Magwood, is a natural scorer who will look to develop the rest of his game. His development may be the X-factor in determining this team’s ceiling. The Warriors will also depend on Josh Holloway to be an effective shooter and opportunistic scorer. 6 '9 Senior, Drayton Jones, and the 6' 11 Junior from New Zealand, Brunson Schmidt-Uili, will be counted on to attack the glass, protect the paint, and space the floor on offense.
