Every time D'Aze and D'Myo Hunter compete in an athletic contest, they have a high standard to uphold.
Their older brother, D'Ago, was a 1,000-point scorer for Eastern View's boys basketball team who played on the program's first two state tournament qualifiers in 2016 and 2017. And as good as he was on the hardwood, his prowess as an all-state football player for the Cyclones paved the way for a scholarship to Towson University, where he's currently a sophomore wide receiver for the Tigers.
D'Ago's fierce competitive spirit isn't lost on his younger siblings—both of whom are key contributors for Eastern View's boys hoops squad this season. And in Wednesday afternoon's Region 4B championship game at No. 6 Courtland, they both followed his example.
D'Aze totaled 13 points, six steals and four assists, and D'Myo tallied seven of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, helping the Cyclones rally for a 49-42 victory over the Cougars.
The win gives Eastern View (13-2) its first region crown in program history. The Cyclones will travel to face the winner of the Region 4A title tilt between Grafton and Smithfield in next Tuesday's Class 4 state semifinals.
