The Next Level -- men's basketball roundup for Jan. 25

We’re another week into the college basketball season, and what looked like it would be an impressive overall season for players from the Baltimore area has exceeded expectations, as there are numerous solid contributors for a variety of teams, and a few players who are putting up huge numbers.

On the men’s side, New Mexico State’s Jahmar Young (Du Bois) and Morgan State’s Reggie Holmes (St. Frances) continued to light up the scoreboard this week. Young averaged 30 points and 36.5 minutes played over two games. Holmes scored 25 points per game and got to the free-throw line an incredible 31 times over two contests, making 27 of those free throws.

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Kevin Palmer (Parkville) turned in a standout performance this week, averaging 25 points, four steals and 34.5 minutes played in two games. Massachusetts’ Ricky Harris (Calvert Hall) scored an average of 18.5 points over two contests. Rounding out the top five, Maryland’s Sean Mosley (St. Frances) averaged 17 points, 5.5 rebounds and three assists in a pair of games.

Here’s a look at the rest of the men’s performers.
