Disclaimer: This will be my third year covering high school girls’ basketball. I am not affiliated with any organization, and I am not compensated. This is truly a passion and my mission to give a platform for our female student athletes here in the state of MD. I partner with 695 Hoops and the Central Maryland Basketball Coaches Association on certain events and publications. As an educator in this state, I have always supported student athletes, and I look forward to the progressive growth of girls’ basketball. As Always, I will be covering the must-see games to watch every week and providing a weekly State Top 15 rankings. The best ways to contact me is through the following platforms: Instagram (SamBuckMDPrepHoops), Twitter:(SamBuckMDPreps) Blog for weekly rankings and updates (https://sambuckley161.wixsite.com/sambuckmdprephoops/blog). For the game to grow we must attend games in person and support our student athletes.
Recap of last week’s MPSSA Girls Public High School Basketball.
Last Week State 4A Champ Clarksburg beat Urbana. Forest Park won the battle of Liberty Road as they beat Milford Mill. Howard beat Oakland Mills on their homecourt in a pivotal HCPS battle. FSK lost to Walkersville. St. Charles beat Gwynn Park. Broadneck beat Severna Park in an AACPS matchup. This week we welcome Bethesda and Broadneck to the top 15 Rankings. We are wishing that any team that took a loss last week can bounce back in conference play this week. Many of our top teams such as North Point, Flowers, Poly, and Pikesville look to play their first games this week. We have plenty of Top 15 matchups this week, mostly at the Panther Classic this Saturday. Please go out and support our student athletes this week.
Here are the Top 15 rankings for Week 2 (Ending 12/14/24)
We try to be as accurate as possible, so we encourage teams to please submit your game scores to MaxPreps, scorebooklive.com, Twitter, Instagram, or your school’s athletic page. I will always post and repost scores on Instagram SamBuckMDPrepHoops.
