Tech welcomed Havre de Grace into the "Snake Pit" on Friday night for the second time this week. The Warriors took the first game on Wednesday evening but that would not be the case Friday. 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. Tech had timely buckets from Joel Dukes and Jahlil James, along with possession securing rebounds from Ridley and James, made sure the Warriors didn't have the opportunity to make a late game run. Josiah Lawrence dropped 21 with help from a monster rebounder and put back king Laveasa Gamey, they were able to stay within reach, however it would not be enough, as Tech takes the night.

Harford Tech 64 C. Milton Wright 75 Tuesday night brought the Cobras to Mustang country and it didn't end well for the snakes. 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.

This score is incorrect. The final was 69-56 with Harford Tech winning. Thank you!!!

Edgewood Rams 56 Harford Tech Cobras 58 The Rams walked into Harford Tech's Snake Pit atop the Hatem division but the Cobras had plans to rattle the standings. Harford Tech's Mateo "Taco" Hiett was able to bucket 17 points with 8 rebounds to lead the Cobras, helped out by Junior Joel Dukes with 14 and Levi Ridley's 10. Edgewood Rams had the usual suspects.. Sean Kellum hit for 16 with his sidekick Isiah Deyo being the high-man with 20 of his own. A back and forth affair throughout the 4th period ended on a last second shot.

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.
