Mychal Parker's high school career came to an end Friday night.
The Maryland small forward commitment's Miller School squad dropped a 69-51 game to Blue Ridge in the Virginia Independent Schools Division I semifinals.
Parker got into some foul trouble of his own and was blanketed defensively down the stretch. As a result, last year's tournament MVP failed to score in the second half and finished with eight points, well under his 20-point-plus average. The 6-foot-6 sharp-shooter will be a familiar face in the years to come for ACC fans, as he will play for Gary Williams at Maryland.• The Arizona Republic's Richard Obert broke down the games of the four best high school seniors in Arizona, including a look at the college potential of Maryland-bound Terrell Stoglin.
Stoglin is a true point guard who is tailor-made for the ACC and Maryland coach Gary Williams' half-court offense. He is a scoring point guard who can hit the 3 and is very good at distributing, much like Steve Blake was when Maryland won the national championship.
