E.J. Jenkins, T.C. Williams, Senior
2009 All-Beltway Boys Basketball First Team
In four years on the T.C. Williams varsity roster, Titan senior E.J. Jenkins was a part of four Patriot District championship teams, three Northern Region titles and the 2008 Virginia AAA State title, the first for a Northern Region boys’ team in 27 years.
In that time, T.C. Williams compiled a 71-0 record against Patriot District teams. In his senior season, Jenkins won the Northern Region Player of the Year, Northern Region Tournament MVP and Patriot District co-Player of the Year.
Jenkins, a two-year captain, averaged 21 points per game, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and shot 77.4-percent from the free-throw line.
ESPN compared his style to Nate Robinson (New York Knicks) and Michael Adams (Boston College) and rated him in the No. 89 point guard in the country.

Tynita Butts, T.C. Williams, Senior
2009 All-Beltway Girls Indoor Track First Team
T.C. Williams senior Tynita Butts made a name for herself around the nation with consistently stellar late-season performances. At the Virginia AAA state meet, Butts recorded the top distance in the United States this year in the long jump, beating a remarkably deep field with a state record 20’00.50” feet. She earned the double with a state-record – and U.S. indoor second-ranked – 5’09.00” in the high jump.
Butts bested both of those marks at the National Scholastic Indoor Championships in New York two weeks later. She extended her long jump record to 21’1.25” and cleared 5’10.50” in the high jump, both new U.S. No. 1 marks. She also won the 55-meter hurdles at the Northern Region meet at 7.31 seconds.

Baltimore, Md. – Corrigan Sports Enterprises (CSE) and Sports America, Inc. announced the rosters for the 36th Capital Classic today. Presented by Bart & Associates the annual high school men’s basketball All-Star game, set for Thursday, April 9, 2009 at American University, pits the nation’s top prospects versus the D.C. area’s elite seniors.
Headlining the U.S. All-Stars is Milton Jennings, a 6-9 forward from Summerville, SC who was recently named to the prestigious McDonald’s All-America team and signed with Clemson University. Averaging 22 points and 9 rebounds Jennings has led Pinewood Prep to four consecutive championships.
Joining Jennings is a heralded group which has primarily committed to play in the ACC or Big East next year, including Jordan Williams, a 6-10 center from Torrington, CT, who is headed to Maryland in the fall. Williams has been a force in the post, scoring 50 or more points on three occasions, including a 52-point outing in a game where he shattered the backboard.
The Capital All-Stars will be led by Montrose Christian’s Mouphtaou Yarou, a 6-10 center who will attend Villanova University and Ian Hummer, the WCAC Player of the Year from Gonzaga, who will suit up for the Princeton Tigers next season. Among the 12-man roster are ten of the region’s premier players who have committed to some of the biggest programs in Division I.
WCAC Coach of the Year Gonzaga Coach Steve Turner will head the Capital All-Stars, while his counterpart for the U.S. team is Kevin Keatts from Hargrave Military Academy. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. and the game will be proceeded by a 6 pm contest featuring District All-Stars versus Suburban All-Stars. The festivities will be kicked off with the fan favorite dunk and three point contests at Gonzaga High School on Wednesday, April 8 at 3:30 p.m.
From its prominent beginning in 1974, the Capital Classic has introduced fans to the next generation of superstars. The greats, including Moses Malone, Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson and Dominique Wilkins have all participated in the Capital Classic, as well as the new age All-Stars of Lebron James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony.
Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster at (202) 397-SEAT or Corrigan Sports Enterprises at (410) 605-9381. More information is available online at www.TheCapitalClassic.com or contact CSE.

Honorable Mentions (in no order):
H.E.L. Yeah! — Lackey had a two-point lead in a 3A South quarterfinal against Potomac and the visiting Wolverines had possession, hoping
for the tie and overtime. But the ball is knocked loose, and Charger senior Rashad Beam drives in for the dunk. It came after the buzzer and didn’t count, but Beam scored
41 points to lead Lackey to victory.
Stone Passes — The Cougars clinched a second-consecutive 4A East championship with a 73-58 win over
Glen Burnie. State finalists a year ago, the Cougars have been here before, but
last year’s regional final was on the road, so why not storm the court?
Stone plays Wise in the 4A state semis on Thursday night at Comcast Center.
Waters is Wet — C.H. Flowers senior Brittney Waters sinks the
game-winning free throw with :05 seconds remaining to lift Flowers
over Wise, 62-61, in the 4A South semifinal on Thursday. It was also Waters’ 18th birthday.
**BONUS**
Richmond Top Five:
No. 5 — McKie Steal Leads to Oop
No. 4 — Magic Wann
No. 3 — Maxwell Overhead to Raines
No. 2 — McKie to Victory
No. 1 — Evans … No Words
No. 10 — Cougars Popping, Not Stopping
Northern Region, Virginia — In its Virginia AAA State quarterfinal win over Atlee, 74-45, Oakton tied a AAA State tournament record with nine 3-pointers. The Cougars had eight through three quarters and only attempted two in the final period. They were 9-for-18 from long range for the game.
No. 9 — Up, Up and Golladay
Prince George’s County, Maryland — Puma guard David Golladay locked up the 4A South Region with this fast-break dunk, as Wise earned its first ever regional basketball title over Roosevelt, 71-58. In November, the Pumas beat the Raiders for the school’s first-ever regional football title, as well.
No. 8 — You Got Sarve-d
Loudoun County, Virginia — In the Group AA Division 4 State quarterfinals, Raider senior Kerry Sarver goes behind the back to sophomore Alissa Kain for a fluid, scoop finish as a part of Loudoun County’s 90-51 win over Courtland. The Raiders scored 30 points in the second quarter and 53 in the first half.
No. 7 — Kromah … Let Him Go
Prince George’s County, Maryland — After a missed Bulldog alley-oop, Raider senior Lasan Kromah takes off from the dotted line for a transition dunk with a defender on his back. More from Kromah and the 4A South semifinal further down.
No. 6 — Electric E.J.
Northern Region, Virginia — In a tight Northern Region final between T.C. Williams and Hayfield, Titan senior — and Northern Region Player of the Year — Ed Jenkins puts the game away with this drive to the basket and head-over-heels layup-and-one. Jenkins was named Tournament MVP as T.C. Williams won its third-straight regional championship.
No. 5 — SCREAMING Eagle 1 2
Montgomery County, Maryland — In the 3A West Region final, an 87-69 win for Seneca Valley over Paint Branch, Screaming Eagle sophomore Jordan Goodman hyped up the crowd with a pair of alley-oop finishes. He finished with 24 points and Seneca Valley faces unbeaten Lake Clifton in the 3A State semifinals at the Comcast Center on March 12.
No. 4 — Kromah Pretty Reverse
Prince George’s County, Maryland — Raider senior Lasan Kromah takes off from outside the paint for this must-see reverse layup in the 4A South semifinals. Kromah had 10 points in Roosevelt’s 64-60 win over Bowie, but four made it into the countdown.
No. 3 — Strong Armwood
Independent Priviate Schools — In the nationally-anticipated game between No. 3 Oak Hill and No. 6 Montrose Christian, Mustang forward Isaiah Armwood stood out. In the first half, Armwood had a block-slash-outlet pass to Terrence Ross for a fast-break jam and followed it with a put-back dunk of his own. But the Warriors (38-0) got the better of the score sheet, 69-63.
No. 2 — That’s ‘Ji
W.C.A.C., Va./Md./D.C. — In the W.C.A.C. championship game, DeMatha trailed Gonzaga by one point with 9.9 seconds remaining. But the Stags went the length of the court and junior Jerian Grant found senior Naji Hibbert under the game basket for the league-winning lay-in with 1.8 seconds left.
No. 1 — Olase-Wow
Montgomery County, Maryland — Springbrook senior Jamal Olasewere finishes on the fast break through a Walter Johnson would-be shot-blocker. Olasewere has led the Blue Devils to a perfect 25-0 record, a 35-game winning streak and into the 4A State semifinals.
