The Second game of our day three coverage of the MPSSAA High School Basketball Championships landed us in an intense match up between the Lackey Chargers of Charles County and the Wicomico Indians (or as the say WiHi Tribe) of Wicomico County. It was already in progress in the first period when I came out from the media room. The Indians were up, 8-2. Points from them were adding and adding. The score had reached 22-9, however the Chargers began to make a run bringing the score to 24-18 by halftime. Second half, one of the alumni photographers told me Lackey would turn up the heat That is exactly what happened as one of their stars, #2 Gordon Malik got some quick steals for scores. Defensive pressure arose, and it was the Lackey Chargers with the lead now. Although their biggest lead was 7 points, the Indians brought the game to a tie by the end of fourth, 34-34.
 Overtime was 4:00 minutes of more rumbling and wrestling between the teams. Being in the bonus first gave the Lackey the advantage leading to a 44-42 victory. TO BOTH TEAMS, just want to say you both put up a tremendous fight. Proud of the work you accomplished throughout the season and the successes you will achieve in the future. CONGRATS to the Chargers on achieving the ultimate goal of being tate champs. Proud of you and I am excited to see you win. CONGRATS to Coach Waller on your upcoming retirement, and to the WiHi tribe on a hard fought season. Keep shining.

 Thanks to CSZScores, and the MPSSAA for your continued support and dedication to promoting positive values in athletics here and beyond.


 MFV MVP - Lackey’s #2 Gordon Malik with 17 points, 7 steals, and 9 rebounds.

Lackey took home the biggest game of the season in an overtime nail-biter. Wicomico controlled most of the game early, building a strong lead and looking comfortable heading into halftime. But whatever was said in Lackey’s locker room clearly hit—because they came out with a completely different energy. Fueled by determination, Lackey stormed back from the deficit with relentless effort on both ends of the floor. Every possession mattered, and every player pushed themselves to the limit. At one point, the intensity was so high that a player was even seen throwing up in the trash can—yet still giving everything he had. That same grit showed up in a huge way from #2, who delivered an unbelievable performance. In just one half, he grabbed well over 10 rebounds, crashing the boards with nonstop effort. Despite not being the biggest player on the court, he played with the biggest heart, making his presence felt on every play. His impact didn’t go unnoticed. As the game went on, the crowd erupted into MVP chants that echoed through the gym—a moment every player dreams of. With all eyes on him, he rose to the occasion and helped lead Lackey to a hard-fought championship victory. Now, Lackey heads back to school not just as champions—but with a story they’ll be telling for years.

Every rebound. Every steal. Every second counted. Henry E. Lackey Charges come through and bring home the school’s first championship since 1959! Malik Gordon led his team with 17 points! 🏆
