Isaac McKneely learned a lot this season, and it wasn’t just where he intends to play in college.
No, Poca’s junior guard picked up lessons about both basketball and life in general as he and the Dots navigated COVID-19 delays, roster changes, buzzer beaters and his own assortment of injuries to return to the Class AA championship game.
McKneely, the centerpiece of that journey for the Dots with a 21.8 scoring average and 62 3-pointers, has been selected as the winner of the Bill Evans Award as the top player in West Virginia, becoming the first to be so honored from a Poca program that has produced several Division I athletes.

FAIRMONTÂ â Fairmont Senior High forward Jaelin Johnson already had plenty of likeness to his name this season.
He s been a 20-point per game scorer and the consensus best player on an undefeated and Class AAA No. 2-ranked Fairmont Senior squad all year long. He s a surefire bet to repeat his first team all-state nod from a year ago, and he may just butt his way into the discussion for even glitzier year-end awards. And he s also already cracked an all-time career milestone when he scored his 1,000th career point for the Polar Bears last month.Â
