Recap from Last Week: Maryland Public School Girls Basketball
Wanted to start off this week’s article by saying it is such a disservice when programs duck the bump of good competition. Athletes do not get better only playing interconference games and beating teams by 70 every game. Shout out to 695 Hoops and Coach AL for doing his best to give us the best girls’ basketball matchups. At some point we must play anyone who shows up at the tournament and not worry about wins and losses, The key is that your team gets better through the experience. “Please stop ducking the bump.”
Last week was exciting as Hammond beat River Hill handedly in a battle of Howard County. Clarksburg beat Bethesda Chevy Chase in a Mo. County matchup. Gwynn Park beat Oxon Hill in a PG County showdown. Dulaney beat upstart Milford. St. Mary’s beat Pikesville by one point in an exciting game. Hereford took care of Kenwood and won 12 in a row. South River beat Annapolis. Poly beat Gerstell. New Town came back and defeated a tough Sparrows Point team.
This week we have some huge games on Friday and Saturday’s “Battle in Baltimore” event. We try to be as accurate as possible, so we encourage teams to please submit your game scores to MaxPreps, scorebooklive.com, twitter, teams IG page or on your school’s athletic page.
