Annapolis High School

Kaleah Anderson (Glen Burnie) and Chloe Greenway (Oakland Mills) earned MVP honors in a back-and-forth battle. Anderson got things rolling early, knocking down a three to open the scoring—setting the tone for a game full of shot attempts on both sides. A standout from Anne Arundel showed out as well, making a big impact throughout the game. Anne Arundel led 37-29 at the half, but Howard County came out of the break firing, going on a 12-0 run to flip the momentum. Lauer caught fire in the second half, drilling a logo three and following it up with another from the top of the key. Howard County took a 64-60 lead with just over 3 minutes left and held a one-point edge with 30 seconds remaining. But Anne Arundel responded with a clutch bucket to take the lead late. Anne Arundel escapes with a 69-68 win. 🔥

Dig, set, spike - that’s right, volleyball is back in Anne Arundel County. As the season is looking to be underway, these are the top ten teams to look out for this season. 1. Broadneck: Last season, Broadneck was ranked first in the Anne Arundel County region according to MaxPreps and advanced to the Class 4A Maryland High School Volleyball Finals, but lost to Richard Montgomery. Almost every game they won, they completely dominated the opposing team, winning in three sets the majority of the time. The Bruins will have Sydney Lawrence, who was named the Capital Gazette Player of the Year, return for them in the fall, alongside Kennedy Smith. Both Lawrence and Smith earned All-Metro Honors at the end of the season. 2. Old Mill: Old Mill became the 3A regional champions in 2024, marking the second consecutive year they have won this title, having also won the 4A title in 2023. However, they had an early exit in the Class 3A Maryland playoffs. This season, the Patriots are losing ten seniors, so it will be interesting to see how they adapt to new players taking the court. 3. Arundel: The Wildcats experienced a decline last season, following a 25-1 record in 2023. Arundel was able to beat Broadneck and Severna Park, but also fell to the two teams above. The good news for them is that Bailey Swinton, who hit 1,000-plus digs last season, will be returning for Arundel in the fall. 4. Severna Park: The Falcons started their season on a five-game winning streak before taking their first loss to Arundel. Severna Park failed to beat Broadneck, Old Mill, and Arundel last season. If they want to improve their standings, they need to be able to compete with the top teams above them in their region. 5. Annapolis: The Panthers have shown improvement in their record from the past two seasons, moving up the standings in 2023 and 2024. Annapolis will have middle hitter Lindsay Lyman return, but lose outside hitter Christen Brisbane, who was named to the 2nd team All-County last season. If they can continue to stay on the upward path of improvement, they have a good chance of securing the top seed in the Anne Arundel region. 6. Severn Run: Last season was the Wolves' first season, as the school had opened in 2024. Within their first season, Severn Run was somewhat inconsistent, going on two or three-game winning streaks, but then dropping a game in between those winning streaks. They also fell to Broadneck twice and Old Mill. To rank them higher, improvement and consistency need to be prioritized in year two. 7. Meade: After starting strong in the beginning of the season, the Mustangs had a tough October, dropping games to Severna Park and Annapolis. Although they showed improvement, they must demonstrate consistency in their wins throughout the entire season to gain ground in their standings. 8. Crofton: The Cardinals took a down year last season. Although they were regional champions last season, they must be able to be reliable and compete with top teams in their region and county. They face teams like Annapolis and Broadneck early in the season, so depending on how the Cardinals fare, that will set the tone and give them an identity for the rest of the season. 9. Archbishop Spalding: Although Spalding is not in the same region as the teams above, they showed slight improvement from the 2023 season. However, they face teams such as Maryvale Prep and Mount de Sales, who stand atop the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland (IAAM). With outside hitter Maddy Mauro and middle blocker Ashlee Overley returning for the Cavaliers, that will give them some depth going into this season. 10. St. Mary’s High School (Annapolis): Like Spalding, St. Mary’s had shown improvement last season. However, like the teams above, they were not able to stay persistent against their competition. That would be something they would have to change to move up the standings in the IAAM.
