A middle-school coach dubbed Virginia recruit Isaac McKneely “Ice,” and the nickname stuck.
“I guess I’ve kind of lived up to that name. I want the ball in my hands at the end of the game. That’s kind of my time,” said McKneely, the 2021 winner of the Bill Evans Award, which goes to the West Virginia high school basketball player of the year.

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.
