Choice F: Deron jumps over paulus… twice! You have voted it as Deron Washington’s greatest highlight as a Hokie.
The silver medal went to his dunk against bc last year at the Cassell, which Best Damn Sports Show Period rated as one of their Top 50 plays of the year.
The bronze goes to his game-winning shot at uva this season.
Thanks to all that voted and let’s get to the Cassell tonight to support Deron and Marcus and the rest of the Hokies as they try to all but lock up a first round bye!
