Mateo Hiett and Zach Lane set the tone for the Cobras, Hiett with another double double,22 points 14 rebounds, and Lane using his speed and ball handling to attack the rim for 18 points of his own.

Last night, Wednesday February 3rd Brunswick Boys Varsity Basketball played against Boonsboro Boys Varsity Basketball. These two teams had seen each other already with Boonsboro coming out on top. Brunswick, who is having an up year was looking to add to the win column and get some revenge. The game started slow with both teams trying to find their groove, but Brunswick capitalized on some break away points and Boonsboro didn't. Brunswick started fast in the second thanks to freshman Jayvon Moody hitting two threes to put Brunswick up ten fast. Aaron Birney also hit clutch shots to give Brunswick a 30-17 lead at halftime. The second half was no different. Brunswick had their foot on the gas the whole game. Aaron Birney came out hot in the third making what seemed like every shot and playing fantastic defense. Junior Mark Yongbi finally started playing aggressive in the second half for Brunswick grabbing a ton of rebounds and scoring down low. Nick Martinis a junior guard for Brunswick finished great around the rim leading Brunswick to a win over Boonsboro with the final score being 62-47 Brady Renn a senior guard for Brunswick has played phenomenal all season and last night was no different. He's not a flashy player but is a guy you want on your team. Renn is unselfish, passionate, has a good attitude, and is the best re-bounder in the county, only standing at 5'10. Last night Renn and Yongbi grabbed at least 25 rebounds between each other with Renn having at least 10, which played a vital role in Brunswick's win. But every player contributed with Mark Yongbi having 12 points, Aaron Birney with 14, Andrew Jones with 6, Brady Renn with 6, Nick Martinis with 14, and Jayvon Moody with 10.

Harford Tech got out early and led the scoring for most of the first period but as the last second dropped, the score was in the Mustang's favor. It wouldn't stay that way as Tech and CMW would hold leads throughout this foul whistled riddled affair. Swapping the lead position with Mustangs several times, but as the final horn sounded, it would be C. Milton Wright with the advantage. The Mustangs were paced by Xavier Holley's 19 and Shawn Lauderdale adding 17 to the total. Harford Tech had 2 players, Joel Dukes with 20 points and Mateo "Taco" Hiett with a 20 pt 10 rebound double-double, as they took the game high, with Zay Roberson reaching double digits with 12 points of his own.

Last Monday, Loch Raven senior guard John Artis III scored his 1,000th point on the road in the Raiders win over the Carver Wildcats. The basket came with just 40.6 remaining in the first half, on a play where Artis drove from the wing into the paint, before shooting off the backboard while getting fouled. The basket gave the Raiders a 32-11 lead, prompting a timeout for a brief celebration on the sideline. Loch Raven went on to defeat Carver with a final score of 75-29. This season marked a return to Loch Raven for Artis, after transferring to New Hope Academy in Baltimore for his junior season. In his senior campaign, Artis ranks among the top scorers in Baltimore County, averaging 21.7 points per game according to head coach Brandon Thomas. As a sophomore, Coach Thomas described Artis as a younger and quieter athlete, but challenged him to come out of his shell this season. “I was looking for John to become more of a leader and to be more vocal” Coach Thomas explained. Artis is garnering interest from several collegiate programs. The top of his list includes schools such as St. Mary’s College of Maryland in Southern Maryland, Stevenson University in Baltimore County, Bowie State University in Prince George’s County, as well as several other junior college programs. With his sights set on playing at the next level, Artis has been an integral part in the success of the Loch Raven program throughout this season. Coach Thomas described him as a “true leader”, citing his lead-by-example attitude, assisting on both sides of the ball while picking his teammates up when needed. The Raiders have put together an extraordinary season this winter. After a five point loss in the regional championship last season, Loch Raven currently sits at 8-5. After a 1-5 stretch from the middle of December to earlier this month, the team is currently riding a four-game win streak, including three consecutive road wins against Carver, Sparrows Point, and Patapsco. With just eight games remaining in the regular season, Coach Thomas is simply hoping for Artis, as well as the rest of the team, to remain consistent. After losing seven seniors from last year’s squad, he believes that the current team has reestablished their culture and a real defensive mind. Thomas also explained that it has been rewarding to see the team put everything together, and seeing the results pay off on the court. Loch Raven will head home for a home game this Friday against the 8-3 Overlea Falcons, before two more home matches next week against Kenwood on Wednesday, and Parkville on Friday.

Fallston 62 Harford Tech 45 Harford Tech welcomed a visiting Fallston High team into the Snake Pit and the visitors would win the night.

Harford Tech Cobras were paced by Mateo Taco Hiett with 12 points and 5 assists, helped by Levi Ridley's 11 points. Next up for Harford Tech is Edgewood Rams on Thursday night while Fallston faces Aberdeen.
