Coach of the Year
Roderick Moore, Surrattsville
In just his second year as coach of the Hornets, Moore turned around the program's fortunes. The team went from one victory in the 2008-09 season to 17 wins this season and a trip to the 1A South Region championship game, where the Hornets lost to Baltimore's Dunbar High, 48-43. Surrattsville defeated Class 2A state runner-up Gwynn Park twice and gave Dunbar, the eventual state champion, its closest game of the playoffs.

Player of the Year
Quinn Cook, DeMatha
The junior spent the season displaying the all-around skills and court presence that earned him a spot on the U.S. National U-16 team that won the FIBA Americas title last summer. He averaged 19.4 points and 5.4 assists per game and was 47 percent from 3-point range, hitting 102 shots from behind the arc in 35 games. Five of the 3-pointers came as he matched his season high of 30 points in the Stags' victory against Gonzaga on March 8 in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference final. He had a season-high seven 3-pointers in a win against Bishop O'Connell on Jan. 20. Cook also was efficient at the free-throw line, hitting 101 of 120 (84.2 percent) for the season.

The Wolverines' senior guard averaged 15.9 points per game and hit 23 3-pointers during the season. He had a season-high 32 points against Friendly on Jan. 15.

Antonio Jenifer, Potomac

Timmone Whatley, Frederick Douglass

Mikael Hopkins, DeMatha
The 6-foot-8 junior's size and shot-altering ability on defense were key components of the Stags' 31-3 season. Hopkins averaged 14.1 points, 11.6 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game and recorded 13 blocked shots in DeMatha's WCAC title-game victory against Gonzaga.
