Marquie Cooke was 2004 Mr. Basketball in VA

He was the third I was thinking of, in addition to Dell and Grindstaff. Bimbo did win the WV prep best player award, they technically call it something else. As millmtnhokie and others pointed out, even tho it's pre 1980, Jeff Schneider was a two-time winner of the WV award also. I was a kid when Schneider played, I didn't realize that when VT played WVU during his playing days how much WV fans booed and disliked him. ** Edited by HokieSA at 11/9/2023, 9:09:37 AM
