Golden Eagles takes care of business

Booker T Washington High School took on Phillis Wheatley High School at Delmar Fieldhouse. The Wildcats started the first two possessions with big-time blocked shots. The Eagles finally got a bucket to fall and then went on a 12-0 run. Although Wheatley tried to fight back they just couldn’t make a dent in the lead that was created from the beginning of the game. This game was fast-paced as both teams were trying to speed up each other. The Golden Eagles of Booker T increased their lead in district play after this win, and look to cruise to finish as the district champs again. 

Chris McDermott 6’7” | Washington | 2024. McDermott is the hottest unsigned senior on the block. He does everything on the floor. His play is infectious and makes his teammates play hard as well. He is a winner and brings winning to the table. He finished the game with 21 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 steals.

Odis Carter 5’8” | Washington | 2024. Odis has picked up some looks from some JuCo’s. He is lightning-quick and has very active hands on the defensive side of the ball. He finished with 14 points and came away with 4 steals in the win. 

Abraham Kirksey 6’3” | Washington | 2024. Kirksey is another unsigned senior who makes an impact on the floor. He brings that extra whatever needs to be done to win this game to the team. He is a high-energy guy with a good motor. He finished with 13 points and 8 rebounds. 

Samuel Johnson 6’7” | Washington | 2025. Big Sam was a force on the offensive glass for the Eagles. He kept giving them second chances. He also was finishing on put-backs through contact. He finished the game with 10 points and 12 rebounds (7 offensive boards). 

Quinton Sanders 6’2” | Wheatley | 2025. Q had to be a playmaker for his team in this game. He is the leading scorer and the Eagles keyed in on him to make sure he had no clean looks. He still played a solid game and finished well around the rim and made some big plays on the defensive side of the ball also. He finished the game with 19 points, 4 assists, and 4 steals.
