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.
