Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing TJ “Terence Jones III” (#0) of SFA following their 77–67 win over Mount Carmel. TJ finished with 21 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds, leading the charge with a big-time second half. He spoke on the team’s connection, saying they believe the only team that can beat them is themselves. Locked in on a championship goal, he credited sticking to his routine and trusting the scout. After admitting he was forcing shots early, a halftime reset helped him focus on making the right play and everything soon opened up quickly for him. But it didn’t stop with him. #12 Jaliel Spears added 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 steal. #15 Anthony Smith matched the energy with 21 points, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 4 rebounds. #05 Carter Fisk contributed 16 points, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 3 rebounds. A complete team effort from SFA to secure the 10-point victory.

Apologies for the late recap but the performance from St. Frances Academy boys basketball is still worth highlighting after their 84–73 win over Mount St. Joseph on January 13. St. Frances set the tone early, dominating the first half on both ends of the floor. The Panthers played with pace, shared the ball well, and controlled the glass, building a comfortable lead before halftime. Offensively, Terence Jones III and Carter Fisk led the way with 27 points each, combining for a powerful scoring punch that consistently broke down the Gaels’ defense. Chance McCoy added 12 points, providing timely buckets and energy throughout the game. On the boards, Jaliel Spears finished with a team-high 8 rebounds, while Jones III (7 rebounds), McCoy (6 rebounds), and James Branch (5 rebounds) helped St. Frances control the paint. Fisk also contributed as a playmaker, leading the team with 5 assists. After halftime, Mount St. Joseph made adjustments and lifted their intensity, allowing them to close some of the gap in the second half. However, the Panthers’ dominant first-half performance proved to be the difference as St. Frances held on for the victory.

Maryland counties will watch former high school stars fulfill lifelong dreams in Brooklyn for the 79th NBA Draft. Split over June 25 and 26, the festivities will only add to Maryland’s strong history of impact NBA talent. In 1949, the Baltimore Bullets drafted forward Paul Gordon out of Mount St. Joseph, beginning a pipeline for 124 more Maryland high school players to follow. Two of those players, Carmelo Anthony and Adrian Dantley, reached the Hall of Fame. Three have been the first overall selection in their respective years. Thirteen have won an NBA championship, including two in 2023 with the Denver Nuggets. Future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant, 36, may be the best NBA player in Maryland high school history. Durant spent time at multiple Maryland high schools, initially playing for National Christian Academy for his first two years. As a senior at Montrose Christian School, Durant earned an All-American selection and won the MVP award for the All-American game. He took that momentum to the University of Texas for the 2007 season. Durant has numerous accolades, including an MVP award, two NBA Finals MVP awards, and 14 All-Star appearances. The 17-year veteran has the eighth-most points in league history and won two championships with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018. In this year’s draft, Derik Queen, 20, stands out as the next impact player to come from a Maryland high school. The center first played for St. Frances Academy in 2021 and immediately displayed his talent. The then-freshman helped the Panthers achieve an undefeated regular season and go on a playoff run that brought a championship appearance. Queen won the 2021 MaxPreps Player of the Year and transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida to finish his high school career. He returned home in 2024 to play as a Terrapin at the University of Maryland. In his lone college season, Queen won the Big Ten Freshman of the Year Award and brought Maryland back to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2016. Queen has received varying projections across NBA draft coverage. ESPN projects the Chicago Bulls selecting him at 12th overall, while USA Today projects the New Orleans Pelicans taking him at 7th. The center is generally expected to go towards the middle of the first round, ranging from the 7th to the 15th picks. The Bulls stand out as the likeliest due to their need at the position. Their starting center, Nikola Vučević, is in the final year of his contract with no clear replacement lined up. Queen could have a valuable opportunity to develop this upcoming season under the veteran’s tutelage before taking over in 2026. Queen’s selection will mark consecutive seasons of St. Frances producing an NBA first-round pick. The Portland Trail Blazers selected Bub Carrington 14th overall last year from the University of Pittsburgh. The rookie was one of 11 players to appear in all 82 of their team’s games. He projects to be a long-term member of the Trail Blazers’ core. A Maryland high product has not been taken in the top 10 draft pick since 202, when Obi Toppin (Mt. Zion Prep ‘18) and Jalen Smith (Mount St. Joseph ‘18) were selected eighth and tenth overall, respectively. Toppin set career highs in points per game and defensive rebounds this season as a key piece for the Indiana Pacers, who are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder for game seven of the NBA Finals. Queen aims to return Maryland to the forefront of basketball development in another historic moment for state high school basketball programs.
