County Championship Week Roundup

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Several counties and districts held their league championship games this week. A few areas do not have championship games and simply crown a regular season champion, so it's always exciting to watch the games at the end of the season that mean something before the state playoffs start. Poly won the Baltimore City championship over Western. Pikesville repeated as Baltimore County champs, Gwynn Park surprised CH Flowers for the Prince George's County title, and Bethesda Chevy Chase knocked off a tough Clarksburg team in Montgomery County. In Anne Arundel County, South River rallied to take down Broadneck in a double overtime thriller. Let's take a look at the players who stood out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> <strong>MacKenzie Wharton, Broadneck, 2024, Shooting Guard-</strong> This was my first time seeing Broadneck. I was very impressed with the shooting of this 5'7" guard. She made 5 three pointers in the game on ten attempts, which helped Broadneck build a 10-point lead. She finished with a game high 22 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='416814' first='Raegan' last='Ogle'], South River, 2025, Point Guard-</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":862169,"width":"220px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/02/20240224_155938-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-862169" style="width:220px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Raegan really sparked the team in a number of ways. Her second half defense on a hot shooting Wharton was crucial as she was able to shut her down. Her defense in the press led to several steals and fast break points as South River wiped out a ten-point deficit. She finished the game with 8 points and several steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='395828' first='Skylar' last='Woodyard'], South River, 2025, Guard-</strong> Sklar led South River with 13 points, but from the opening tip she was making plays all over the court. Her aggressive scoring approach led to easy shot attempts for her teammates as Broadneck was forced to play a lot of help defense. Her speed and athleticism really stood out on both ends of the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='791216' first='London' last='Elliott'], Poly, 2027, Point Guard</strong>- The speedy and explosive point guard put up a team high 15 points to lead Poly to the City championship. She constantly got into the paint and broke down Western's defense. She's a strong finisher around the basket and a solid passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='304622' first='Mickelle' last='Lowry'], Poly, 2024, Guard</strong>- The senior combo guard chipped in 14 points and helped stretch the floor with her three-point shooting. The versatile scoring guard is still looking for the right college fit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='393084' first='Breasia' last='Coit'], Western, 2024, Center-</strong> The big 6'3" post put up 17 points and 12 rebounds and helped keep Western within striking distance for most of the game. She is still looking for the right college fit as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='847260' first='Meona' last='Boykins'], Loch Raven, 2024, Guard</strong>- In a loss to Pikesville Meona showed off her strength and athleticism, while putting up 26 points and 10 rebounds. She got off to a fast start and Pikesville never really found an answer for her. She is still unsigned. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ka'Nai Pyatt, Pikesville, 2027, Guard-</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":862170,"width":"216px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/02/20240223_184858-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-862170" style="width:216px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'8" shooting guard came off the bench and proceeded to knock down four three-pointers and help her team take control of the game. Her scoring swung the momentum and gave Pikesville a lead that they never gave back. She also played solid defense and made some hustle plays. She finished with 12 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keira Mason, Gwynn Park, 2024, Power Forward-</strong> Keira put up 12 points and 10 rebounds and helped the Yellow Jackets fight off the CH Flowers pressure as they pulled off a surprising win. She is committed to St. Mary's College. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Anna Tercyak, Bethesda Chevy-Chase, 2024, Point Guard- </strong>The crafty senior point guard scored a team high 17 points to help them mount a huge comeback for the Montgomery County title. She hit several big shots in the second half and kep the team focused. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
