The 4-Seed Western Doves from Baltimore City traveled to the University of Maryland to take on the 6-Seed North Point Eagles in the 4A Girls Basketball State Championship on Friday night. The Doves came into this game after upsetting the top-seed Flowers Jaguars 53-49 while the Eagles are coming in following a dominating upset of their own against 2-Seed Clarksburg, where they won 56-39. North Point got off to a hot start in this game, not conceding a point in the first seven minutes of the contest. While the offense peeled back a little in the second quarter, the Eagles still took a 17-10 lead into halftime. North Point head coach Michael Serpone explained that the message to the team in the locker room was to "Keep playing North Point ball". Several members of the team explained that they were not concerned about the narrow lead as they were focused on the long game. That proved to be true, as North Point game out of the locker room on fire, scoring 20 points in the first six minutes of the second half, and 29 in the third quarter combined. After the game, Doves head coach Tasha Townsend explained that her team was trying to mount a comeback too quickly, and the game simply slipped out of reach. The Eagles' offense slowed down in the fourth quarter, but the Doves could not come back. With a final score of 61-30, the North Point Eagles were crowned state champions. Congratulations to both teams on the milestone of reaching this game.

Bethesda-Chevy Chase took down North Point thanks to a strong second half, 51-31, to advance to the MPSSAA Class 4A State Final Despite the Barons being the top-seed, they had to travel to North Point, facing the Eagles, who played as the away team on their home floor. The first half saw both sides go back and forth with struggles on the offensive end. North Point kept itself in the game with offensive rebounds on most misses, but were not able to get over the hump as B-CC carried a 17-14 lead into the locker room. Bethesda Chevy-Chase took control in the second with junior Elisha Robinson at the point. The Barons took advantage of North Point senior Morgan Dow picking up a fourth foul and having to sit on the bench. The end of the third quarter and start of the fourth saw B-CC climb up by as many as 25 points and cruise to victory. Bethesda-Chevy Chase advances to its first MPSSAA girls basketball championship game with the victory and will face Clarksburg, which gave the Barons one of their two regular season losses.
