On Saturday evening, the sixth-seeded Perry Hall Gators traveled to UMBC to take on the fourth-ranked Bethesda-Chevy Chase Barons in the MPSSAA 4A Girls Soccer State Championship. In the semifinals, both teams shut out their opponents, with the Barons beating the eighth-seed Severn Run Wolves by two. The Gators came into the championship match after taking down the Leonardtown Raiders in a 1-0 contest. This game marked Perry Hall’s first championship appearance since 2019 while B-CC hasn’t made the final game in over a decade. The majority of the first half went by uneventfully, until B-CC junior Amy Maguire scored the game’s first goal on a free kick that tipped off Perry Hall goalie Joyce Robinson with under 90 seconds to go in the first half. It took 12 minutes of the second half for the Gators to equalize, as Gabrielle Richberg tucked her team’s first goal of the match into the top right corner of the net. With the game knotted at one, it took just 48 seconds for Barons’ sophomore Shilo James to give her team the lead on a rebound off the crossbar. Bethesda-Chevy Chase led 2-1 with over 27 minutes remaining in the championship game. Twenty minutes later, with fewer than ten minutes left in regulation, B-CC was called for a handball, giving senior Reese Pinell an opportunity for a penalty kick. The kick sailed over the crossbar and with under seven minutes left, the Barons retained a 2-1 lead. With just three minutes remaining in the state championship, Perry Hall’s Katelyn Price scored her team’s second goal of the game on a header from a few feet away, moving the score to 2-2, which would be the score at the end of regulation. Just 90 seconds into overtime, University of South Carolina at Beaufort commit Gabriela Colon scored her team-leading eighteenth goal of the season to give Perry Hall their first state championship victory since 2019!
On November 11, the BCC Barons faced off against Perry Hall Gators in the MPSSAA 4A girls soccer state championship, with a 3-2 Perry Hall title thriller. The match kicked off with excitement, for the Barons brought a student section that overpowered the Perry Hall crowd. Both teams exchanged strong attacks, and the Gators almost recorded the first goal of the game, with a free kick attempt that hit the bottom of the crossbar and slowly bounced forward toward the BCC keeper's back. Perry Hall put pressure on BCC for most of the half, not giving them much room to breathe and only allowed BCC longer-range shots. One shot forced the Perry Hall Goalkeeper to save it with fingertips that aimed at the top of the net. Both defenses stood strong making sure no big chances were allowed, but BCC forced out four calls against them that kept the Gator momentum. Perry Hall started to control possession in the BCC half, taking over four crosses and shots that went just wide of goal. BCC recorded two free kicks in the second half, where the first one got quickly intercepted by the Gators defense. Thirty-Eight minutes into the half, BCC recorded the first goal of the night scored by #7 Amy Maguire, aiming to the left side of the net and catching the Gators goalkeeper off guard as the fingertips of her glove were not enough. Perry Hall was dominating in possession, but couldn’t get points on the board as the first half ended 1-0 BCC lead. Perry Hall's possession quickly shifted towards BCC with the start of the second half. BCC started to maintain the ball and keep the game within Perry hall territory. Another shot from distance in the game almost catches Perry Hall Goalkeeper off guard as it hit the uprights of the bar. Goals were needed by Perry Hall, and Gabrielle Richberg was aware and tied the game 1-1 with a shot curving left to the top corner of the net. Celebrations were cut short for the gators, with seconds later BCC continued the crossbar trend. This time, with the ball landing right in front of the goal and allowing #15 Shilo James the easy Tap-in, once again grabbing the lead at 2-1. BCC had recorded 5 or more shots within the half, looking confident with the distanced shots as they got closer. Two more chances almost allowed the BCC lead to grow, but passes were a bit too strong and rolled into the hands of the Goalkeeper at the edge of the box. 34 minutes into the second half, Perry Hall were given a penalty from a BCC handball in the box. The roar from BCC’s student section seemed to be too much, and it led to the penalty attempt being shot over the goal, keeping the game 2-1. The missed penalty didn’t worry Perry Hall, as three minutes later the Gators tied the game from a cross, led by a header from #10 Katelyn Price, bringing the game to 2-2. The game was officially heading to Overtime. Overtime wouldn’t last long, as the Gators were pushing with a one on one moment between #25 Gabriela Colon took the game-winning shot to the left side of the net, handing Perry Hall the championship. Perry Hall completes the comeback as 4A MPSSAA State champions, finishing the game 3-2.
Katelyn Price’s clutch header sent the game to overtime, and Gabriela Colon sealed the win with the final shot!
The second half of the MPSSAA 4A Girls soccer state championship ended 2-2. Perry hall managed to tie the game with 3 minutes left of the half from a header.
The first half of the MPSSAA 4A Girls soccer state championships ends with a BCC 1-0. A freekick was given to BCC with two minutes remaining that allowed #7 Amy Maguire the goal with a shot left side of the net, for the ball bounced off the Keepers Fingertips.
In a game with playoff seeding implications for both teams, the Rockets of Richard Montgomery proved to be the more noble team with a resounding 18-7 victory over the Barons of BCC. The Rockets offense got off to a quick start led again by their Freshman QB Serach Jackson as they marched the length of the field to score a touchdown on their opening drive. Two impressive runs, one by the QB and the other by senior speedster Hayden Williams resulted in two first downs. Serach then played catch with her favorite target steady senior Ella Cummings completing a big yardage gainer over the middle. After a false start cost the Rockets a 10 yard penalty, Serach calmly found Ella behind the defense tossing a dot for the duo's team leading seventh touchdown of the season? After the Rockets failed to convert on a fourth down, the Baron's took advantage of a short field scoring a touchdown making the score 7-6 at the half. The defense was explosive in the first half, shutting down BCC's rushing attack as safety Kennedi Peppins had a half a dozen flag pulls. Freshman Katelyn Marchetti was at it again with a key momentum stopping interception. It was her team leading eighth of the year. The teams played a game of punts as the pressure mounted and the everyone waited to see who would blink first in this tough conference match up. Then midway through the second half the Rockets were backed up facing a 3rd and long, when suddenly their Freshman QB dubbed Serocket took off on a 45 yard run that had her run not been slowed by a two handed grab of her skirt she would have most certainly have touched down in the endzone. After the 10 yard penalty was assessed by the refs, the Rockets found themselves at the 5 yard line. Hayden Williams eluded three defenders on her sprint to the endzone giving the Rockets a 12-7 they would never relinquish. Coach Adrian had the defense playing lights out in the second half as they made the Baron's offense one dimensional. Rockets defenders Serach (LB), Kennedi (S) and Anjolie (DB) were dominant in stifling the Baron's short passing game. Katelyn and Ella covered the long game, while Alexi, Kimmie, and Kennedi blew up the run game for big yardage losses. The whip cream, syrup and cherry 🍒 on top🍨 came with less than a minute left on the clock. It was 4th down and forever. The Baron's were on life-support hoping for a miracle, when Kennedi Peppins the Rockets super aggressive safety leaped high to intercept the Hail Mary pass and Derrick Henry'd her way over, around and through the Lady Baron's for a pick six in an overpowering display of athleticism as the clock ticked down to :00. Game, set and match 18-7. 'Rockettes" WIN!!!!!! The Rockets end the regular season on a 4-game winning streak, finishing with an impressive 7-3 overall record and a 4-1 record on the road. On to the playoffs. Rocket fans represent!!! Congratulations Lady Rockets Coaches Mensah, Adrian and Tibbs.

Wanting the Urbana v Howard soccer score
Field Hockey is just around the corner, and its a sport that can be very exciting and intense. Which teams in MCPS will have the most success this season? In this preseason power rankings, I rank the top ten field hockey teams in the county. The top two teams were one win away from facing each other in the state finals last year, so the midseason matchup between the two will be a must-watch! Now let’s get to the list: Churchill (14-2) - The Bulldogs made it all the way to the Class 4A State semi finals before losing to Broadneck. It started the season 5-0 before dropping its first game. After that, the Bulldogs won eight straight games, securing five shutouts in the process. Five players received All-County recognition including seniors Jenna Pigott and Claire Gallagher. They return the other three All-County players in midfielders Junia Whang and Callie Lee, and defender Leah Offutt. They have the pieces in place to make another run to the semifinals and hopefully beyond. Whitman (14-2) - The Vikings have won four straight county championships. And it too made it to the 4A State semifinals before losing to eventual champion Crofton. Before losing to Crofton however, they were in the midst of a nine game winning streak that saw the Vikings shutout every opponent - including a dominant 10-0 win over Clarksburg in the first round of states. They lose seven seniors, including five who received All-County accolades - Kelsey Allen, Maya Raphael, Sophia Cheng, Mia Kanczuker, and Nisha Chakravarty - and Sadie Bastianelli, who was an All-Division member. They do however return rising junior Emma Foscarini; a midfielder who was a first team All-County select. The spotlight will be on Foscarini this fall as she tries to lead the Vikings to another run in the postseason. Damascus (12-2) - The Swarmin’ Hornets hope to go farther than it did last season (loss in the regional final), especially considering the strong start that they had (9-0). Their defense was one of the best in the county allowing less than a goal per game (before their defeat in regionals) and recorded eight shutouts. They lose nine seniors total, including first team All-County forward Madison Slayton and All-Divison members Sarah Jankowski and Marlene Nusraty. The good news however, is that three All-Division players are back for this fall season - forward Mary Miller, midfielder Maddie Powell, and defenseman Katie Miller. Despite the losses of nine seniors, the Swarmin’ Hornets are still in excellent position to reach states. Blair (10-4) - After a first game loss to Whitman, the Blazers won 9 out of its next 11 games, including a seven game win streak that were all shutouts. It won the regional title over Einstein before losing to Broadneck in the state quarterfinals. Seven players received accolades including three seniors - forward Carmella Beach, midfielder Eloisa Somodevilla, and goalie Keelin Pegg were All-County members. The rest of the four were all juniors and are coming back for their senior seasons. Forward Eva Schwartz, midfielder Ruth Wajda-Gotwals, and defenders Lilah Coleman and Juliet Craig will look to lead the Blazers to another successful campaign. Rockville (10-4) - The Rams rode a successful campaign all the way to the Class 3A state quarterfinals. The 3A regional champions were led by 11 seniors including captains Erin Kelly, McKenzie Chavez, and Grace Litzenberg - who was a first team All-County select. Not only will their leadership be missed, but also their experience, as they each played all four years. Finding the next group of leaders will be one of the stories to watch for this Rams team. Walter Johnson (9-5) - WJ had a nice end to its regular season, winning four out of its last five matches. It defeated Richard Montgomery in the first round of regionals, but ultimately fell to Whitman in the regional final. Ten seniors depart including four All-County/All-Division players in Gillian Rosenstock, Hidi Altman, Jackie Fuller, and Fran Sabbioni-Blanc. Defender Abby Bruskin is back for her senior season and will look to lead the Wildcats past the regionals this year. Quince Orchard (9-5) - After having a tough beginning to the season (1-2), the Cougars hardly skipped a beat after. Over its final nine regular season games, QO went an impressive 9-2, scoring 4 goals per game and allowing 1 per game (five shutouts). They lose six seniors, including four who were selected to the All-County Team - Hannah Wagner, Gabbie Spano, Ellie Wonnacott, and Faith Pleisse. All-County second team goalie Natalie Goury and Sophia Fenzel returns for her senior season. Having a returning veteran is always a welcome, especially when it provides insurance in goal. Goury recorded seven shutouts during the season. And despite having a new coach in Antonio Velasquez, and with players having to adjust to a new system, QO was able to have a winning season. Heading into year 2, it should be another successful campaign. Richard Montgomery (9-3) - The Rockets began the season 4-0 before hitting a road block that saw it lose three out of its next four. But, it was only a small bump, as they ended the regular season on a four game win streak. Unfortunately, the season came to an abrupt end when it lost to Walter Johnson in the first round of regionals. The Rockets were led by a group of veterans that included 12 seniors. Seniors Emma Pryor, Shelby Roth, and Catherine Nguyen were selected to the All-County team. And seniors Tara Amin, Abby Grandin, Pryor, Roth, and Nguyen received All-Division honors. All twelve departures will surely be missed, and it will be interesting to see who steps up in terms of leadership. Einstein (8-6) - The Titans made it to the regional final before losing to Blair. After starting the year 1-2, Einstein rallied to four straight victories and recording three shutouts in the process. They hit a road block during the final stretch, but finished with a winning record and was one game short of making states. Four seniors depart including defenders Cady Emerson (1st Team All-Division) and Maya Gutierrez-Flores (1st Team All-County. Gutierrez-Flores’s efforts on the defensive side earned her MCPS Defensive Player of the Year. Goalie Lena Fleschner and defender Lucy Stenger return for their senior seasons. Both were awarded first and second team All-Divison, respectively. B-CC (7-6) - The Barons had a nice run in the middle and end of the season, going 6-2 in its final eight games. Its season did come to an unfortunate end in the first round of regionals, losing to Whitman. They lose a total of thirteen seniors, including four who received All-County and All-Division honors - Jamie Lee, Abby Schrader, Roxana Stayeas, and Elisha Robinson. How to replace a loaded group of veterans and leaders will be a major challenge, but it will be both interesting and exciting to see who that next group will be down the road.
It’s no easy task to replace a coach, who for the past 11 years, has been a mentor and guardian for so many players. It’s especially more difficult when that said coach has accumulated an astounding 163-54 record for a team that has Regional Championship and County Championship banners hung up in the gymnasium. Ryan Ingalls has set a standard here at Bethesda-Chevy Chase, leading the girls varsity basketball team to prosperity and nearly securing their first ever state title a year ago. But for the first time in over a decade, Ingalls won’t be the person in charge of the Barons. Fortunately, it won’t be a new face that’ll step in to take the charge; actually quite the contrary: Mara Fitzgerlad is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who moved to Maryland in search of a coaching job during the 2019-20 season. The Barons were in the midst of another impressive campaign when Fitzgerald first spoke with Ingalls. She mentions that when searching for schools, she valued teams that were competitive but also had strong core values. “In my first interview with Coach Ingalls, I knew very quickly that what she had built at B-CC was a perfect fit.” It wasn’t too long after that Fitzgerald shared the sidelines with Ingalls, who shared her experience and philosophy to her. “She taught me how to think like a coach rather than just as a player.” While attending Penn State University, Fitzgerald was a member of the club basketball team. When she first started being an assistant for B-CC in 2019, she quickly realized how big of an adjustment it was going from a player’s perspective to now a coach’s. “You can't just lace up your shoes, sub into the game, and fix the problem ahead of you. You have to figure out how to communicate quickly and effectively in high-pressure situations to kids who all learn and comprehend differently.” But luckily for Fitzgerald, Ingalls had her ways getting to the players, as she herself was a collegiate athlete. She often used that experience as a player to relate to her players, and also used her experience as a teacher to communicate with them. The relationship between Fitzgerald and Ingalls cannot be overshadowed. It’s probably a key reason why they’ve averaged near 20 wins since 2021, including campaigns of 27 and 22 wins the past two years. “We're both highly competitive which drives us towards success and leads us to get along really well both on and off the court.” She explains to me their daily routine that starts off in the yawning hours of 6:30 AM where the two will call each other while driving to the school to plan out the day and what needs to be prioritized during practice and for gamedays. Then, at the end of the day, the two will call each other on facetime and watch over film and dissect their opponents to get the Barons in the best shape possible for gameday. It’s also from a personal perspective that they’ve had so much success working together. They both share their love for D.C. sports and get together with friends and families. And with her family back in Pennsylvania, it’s all the more warming for Fitzgerald. “I feel very lucky to have built relationships with her two amazing daughters and the other members of her family. That sense of comradery trickles down to the culture of our team. We're all in this together and I think our players see and appreciate that.” Fitzgerald brings with her a coaching philosophy that is centered around working together. She wants her players to do everything as a team. “Whether we're winning, losing, brainstorming game strategies, making the gameday warm up playlist, picking out a team shoe for the upcoming season, or even just picking where to eat before a game… We find our power in the sum of our parts rather than relying on one player or one game plan.” She explains that it will be important to get contributions from every player, no matter how big or small, or how different it may be. And she also emphasizes communication from the coaches to the players and vice versa. “We have high expectations of the players and we understand that the players have high expectations of their coaches. We encourage the kids to speak up, ask questions, offer ideas, and hold us accountable, just like we do of them. When everyone is bought-in on the same goal, it's easier to get there.” With her first season at the helm coming in the winter, how will the Barons look? The Barons graduated four seniors from this past year in Frances Doyle, Elisha Robinson, Jaylin Harried, and Sasha Barr, who were all part of the team since their freshman seasons. It will be intriguing to see who steps and takes their roles in leadership. Coach Fitzgerald highlighted several players led by Chelsey Barr, the younger sister of Sasha. She started all of last season as a sophomore and was one of the top contributors. Ashley Agard, Lucia Horgan, and Abby Seo were the other players that she mentioned. She also shared her excitement about the incoming freshman class as well as the JV pipeline, who had a successful season of their own. She expects “big freshman contributions” on the varsity level. Upon graduating from Penn State, Fitzgerald received a degree in Architectural Engineering, which applies engineering principles to the design and construction of buildings. In this case, it will be the design and construction of the players on the roster and to piece them together and see how each rotation fares with each other. “We'll take it one piece at a time.” And despite the loss of four seniors, the future remains bright and the goals and expectations will continue to be the same for this season and beyond. They will look to compete for regional championships, county championships, and of course state championships. “After 6 seasons of building relationships with the players, the parents, teachers at the school, coaches of opposing teams, and helping drive the program to our recent successes, I believe the community can take comfort in the familiar face sitting in the head-coach's chair. They know what I'm here to do because they've seen me do it at Coach Ingalls' side for 6 years.” And now it’s here: the Mara Fitzgerald era at Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Will she be the one to deliver the school’s first state title? Only time will tell, but the pieces are there both present and future, and it should no doubt be another winning campaign for Barons girls basketball.
Back to school commercials are starting to show up which means it’s only a matter of time before hallways and classrooms are filled with students again. But it also means Friday Night Lights aren’t far out! The cornerstone of high school sports, football brings entire communities together cheering on their respective schools, filling them with a sense of pride that only the people around them can understand. Here in Maryland, and in Montgomery County, that is no exception. From getting polls on a few coaches across the county, I have compiled a Way-Too-Early rankings of the top 10 teams in MCPS. 1. Quince Orchard (13-0) - QO has been Montgomery County’s power for the longest time, and that doesn’t seem to end anytime soon. Coming off a 13-0 season in which it scored 39.7 ppg and allowed 6.7 ppg, the Cougars won its sixth state title in school history and its third in four years. Although they do lose their top rusher in Iverson Howard, they return senior WR Mason Mizzer so he’ll be a reliable target for whoever takes QB’s TJ Jackson’s role. The defense loses a few guys but does return DLs Kacey Gilliam and Jahiem Bond. It should be another fun and exciting season for HC John Kelly and the Cougars, who have averaged 11 wins during his 11 seasons at the helm. A week 2 matchup at Paint Branch will set the tone early. Speaking of Paint Branch… 2. Paint Branch (9-2) - The Panthers will look to continue their success of last season in which they had an unbeaten regular season, but had an abrupt end to their year in the first round of states. Rising junior RB Alijah Bah (1,299 yards, 21 TDs) will lead the offensive charge, and top two receivers Michael Boateng and Joshua Biando return. On defense, Kaden Chapman returns on a unit that allowed 11.4 ppg, but does lose a few key players. They open their season at home against Quince Orchard and later in September face Northwest, who they beat for the first time in school history last year. 3. Sherwood (10-3) - QB Matthew Larsen threw for 1,612 yards and a 17-9 TD-INT ratio as a sophomore last year, leading the Warriors to the state semifinals. They fell to defeat three times, but they were to the top teams in the state. Leading rusher Ryan Johnson is back for his senior season, and although they lose their top three receivers, Preston Hamrick – who averaged 11.6 yards per catch as a sophomore – will be a reliable option for Larsen. On defense, the losses Michael Robles (7 sacks, 13 TFLs), Jaden Nix (6 ints), and Khalil Wilson (5 ints) will hurt, but senior Jefferson Serkfem (64 tackles and 17 TFLs) will no doubt be up to the task of leading this unit. Mark your calendars for September 26, as the Warriors will play host to rival Blake, an always exciting matchup. Last time they hosted the Bengals, they suffered their first defeat to them since 2019. It should be a raucous environment. 4. Northwest (9-3) - Rising senior QB Jayden Vongprachahn-Nelson (1,355/13-2 td-int) will look to lead the Jaguars to another successful campaign and perhaps lead his team to its first state title since 2014. It won’t be an easy task as they lose their top rusher and top two receivers from last year. Which skill players step up this season will be interesting to watch. Nearly everyone on defense departs, but they do return junior Eric Odina (2 sacks in 1 game) and Corky Lynch (2 ints). Do it all athlete Aaron “Tank” Rivers will surely have an expanded role this year. They host Paint Branch in late September and travel to Quince Orchard in October. 5. Bethesda-Chevy Chase (8-4) - Coming off its best season in years, the Barons will look to continue their success under second year head coach Matt Schwartzback. They return top rusher Gabe Eisler (766 yards/5.6 avg/9 tds) and two of last year’s top four receivers in Andre Ekani and Nathan David who both will look to step up and be a reliable passing option for whoever starts at QB. The defense saw three players record double-digit TFLs last season, and now all three of them depart. Deandre Blakeney was productive as a sophomore (4.5 TFLs) and Eisner was impactful as a DB (3 INTs). How B-CC continues to build with a boatload of seniors departing will be fascinating to watch. 6. Blake (9-3) - The big question will be at QB, as Kirby Matson departs after starting the past three seasons as the leader of the offense. Receivers Kai Cooper, Zaire Richardson, and Joey Faunteroy also graduated so it will be a very different offense this fall. The defense held opponents to 11 ppg and they return three starters from last year who received All-Division recognition. The defense figures to be the strength this year as the Bengals and head coach Bryon Marshall will determine who takes over at QB. Watch for WR/CB Tatum Bell. 7. Blair (8-4) - The Blazers bounced back after a 3 win campaign in 2023. RB Junior Rodriguez was their top offensive contributor as he tallied 695 yards on the ground with 13 tds. He returns. Jayden Parker is also back for his senior season as the WR had 266 yards (9.9 avg) with 4 tds. Jacob Zirin seems like the player to replace Dylan Rinaldi at the QB position. The defense loses four players who made All-Division a year ago so it will be interesting to monitor who steps up this year. An early matchup at B-CC will be something to watch out for (the Barons knocked the Blazers out of the regionals). 8. Seneca Valley (7-4) - The Screamin’ Eagles had an impressive season and will look to continue that and go even further after losing in the regionals to Northwest. 9. Damascus (7-4) - Much like Seneca Valley, Damascus is one of the more storied programs in Maryland that seems to have consistent success year in and year out. They will look to have better success in the postseason after losing early in the regionals. 10. Churchill (7-5) - The Bulldogs struggled early (1-3) but were able to regroup and finished their season winning 4 out of their last 5 games. Losing QB Vasi Hallas will be tough, for fortunately RB Noah Zhang is back (491 yards/5.6 avg) to carry some of the load. The majority of their receiving corps is gone as well, so it will be an opportunity for many to take advantage. On defense, David Skopec was a force as a sophomore last year (3 TFLs/3 sacks). Zhang was also a factor on the defense (2 sacks). The Bulldogs will look to carry their momentum from the end of last year into this fall.
Game actually played on April 28 (make up from April 11 dues to rain).
Game rained out. No make up.
