This.
(If you're not a long-time DC resident, you may not be familiar with Morgan Wootten. Though he officially retired over a decade ago, it would be fair to say he is still
hugely influential in the DC-area basketball scene, and the DC-area basketball scene is itself quite significant in the national basketball landscape. In fact, DeMatha is a national presence in high school sports generally, consistently ranked at or near the top of national rankings in several sports. Although it's Catholic, and in Hyattsville, DeMatha still extremely relevant.)
