Seniors [player_tooltip player_id='142839' first='Makaela' last='Quimby'], [player_tooltip player_id='142833' first='Anaiah' last='Jenkins'] and [player_tooltip player_id='142846' first='Paris' last='Locke'] look like they are trying to end their careers in style with another title. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>St. Frances- (22-3). The Panthers split with McDonogh and grabbed good wins over Mt. Zion and Glen Burnie. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Poly- (19-2)- The Engineers took a bad loss at McDonogh but have been up to the challenge against everyone else. Seniors [player_tooltip player_id='163903' first='Da'Brya' last='Clark'] and [player_tooltip player_id='142834' first='Trinity' last='Massenburg'] have led the way. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>St. Vincent Pallotti- (14-6) The Panthers have been up and down lately, but they played a tough schedule and looked good against a strong Howard team. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Howard- (19-1) The Lions are still dominating Howard County where they haven't lost a game in like 4 years. Senior guards Gabby Kennerly and [player_tooltip player_id='450264' first='Samiyah' last='Nasir'] are leading the charge with sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='303119' first='Meghan' last='Yarnevich'] doing the heavy lifting inside. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>St. Mary's (24-0) The only undefeated team in the area has dominated their competition. Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='433799' first='Bailey' last='Harris'] and junior Bailey Walden are one of the top duos in the area. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Mercy- (16-8) Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='336752' first='Milan' last='Brown'] and junior [player_tooltip player_id='540040' first='Myah' last='Hazelton'] seem to have righted the ship down the stretch as Mercy has performed better and picked up a good win over Pallotti. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Glen Burnie- (16-2) The Gophers look like a real threat in 4A with their two losses coming against St. Frances and Mercy.

Junior center [player_tooltip player_id='304357' first='Chaniya' last='Taylor'] sets the tone for what they do. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Western - (14-4) The Doves have quietly put together a solid season. With major losses in the backcourt they still played a tough schedule. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Gerstell Academy- (17-4) The Falcons finished strong down the stretch and have an opportunity to advance in the IAAM playoffs. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Loch Raven- (17-1) The Raiders turned in one of their best seasons in years. They have a real shot to make some noise in 1A. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
