In 2025, Baltimore County featured five teams that advanced to the regional tournament, with Carver in the 1A, Hereford and Sparrows Point one class above, Dulaney as a 3A and Perry Hall in the highest grouping. Despite this, just one team made it past round one, with Dulaney reaching the semifinal match. Fans have to go back to 2021 for the county’s most recent state championship, with the Catonsville Comets taking home the 4A trophy. The question is, will any teams hoist the biggest trophy the state has to offer? Here are the ten teams from BCPS most likely to win the big game: 1. Dulaney Last season’s Lions finished with the best record in the county with 14 wins, two losses, and a tie. Dulaney’s team had double-digit wins with ten or more points, while also winning two games by two or fewer runs, with an early 2-1 win at Catonsville, and a 4-2 road victory against Towson in early May. What was most impressive about their season was their run from the regional semifinal through the state quarterfinal, where they outscored Franklin, Catonsville, and Marriott’s Ridge 40-0, earning a regional title. In the state semifinal game at Bachman Stadium, the Lions’ season was cut short, as they fell 2-0 to the Sherwood Warriors. This season’s squad will be without just two members from last year's team, and will return four all-county athletes, including Amherst College softball commit Brynn Townsend. The Lions also added former Franklin Indian Mia Cleveland, who finished last season with a .429 batting average and a 1.578 OPS. 2. Perry Hall In 2024, the Gators went 11-3 in the regular season and reached the state semifinals before being eliminated by Eleanor Roosevelt from Prince George’s County. Last spring, Perry Hall went just 6-6-1 in a season that featured a four game win streak, immediately followed by a four-game losing streak. After wrapping up the regular season, the Gators took down Western High and Dundalk to secure their regional championship, before their second consecutive elimination at the hands of the Raiders. This spring, the Perry Hall roster looks as strong as ever. After losing just three seniors, they are set to be led by Randolph-Macon College commit Maddie Carl, and Roanoke College commit Addison Dunlap. The team will also have Savannah Carl in the lineup, who made the first all-BCPS team last spring. 3. Franklin Despite an average regular season record last spring, finishing just 7-8, the Indians had several bright spots in their schedule. Franklin opened their season on a three-game win streak, including an 18-0 home rout against Lansdowne and a 19-2 victory over Parkville. Last season’s issue was the obstacle of two separate four-game losing streaks, separated by just two games. In the regional quarterfinal game, Franklin locked down their third win of the season against Lansdowne, with a 16-1 final, before a loss against Dulaney to end their season in the semifinal match. After losing just one senior, Samantha Maldonado, this year’s team will be headed by senior Scarlett Cornwell, a pitcher who dished out 108 strikeouts last spring 4. Sparrows Point The Pointers opened their season with just one win in the first seven games. After that, the team started to turn up the heat, going 4-3-1 to end the year with an interesting 5-6-4 record. In their first game in the regional bracket, The Point avenged an early season tie and an 11-0 regular season loss, eliminating the Mavericks with a 9-5 win, followed by a 23-0 regional final win against the Bayhawks. Unfortunately, the Pointers’ season came to an end against the future 2A state champion, the Huntingtown Hurricanes, in a 19-0 state quarterfinal game. This coming season, the Pointers will be without three members of last year’s team, but will have leadership returning from senior captain and Widener University commit Allie Roberts 5. Hereford Looking at overall records from last season, the Bulls took the top spot, but in the regular season, they were number two, finishing with 13 wins. That includes a seven game win streak to open the season, including a 28-7 landslide win on the road against the Lansdowne Vikings. After scoring ten or more runs in nine separate games, including 16 and 19 run performances towards the end, the Bulls knocked out Milford Mill 15-0 in the regional championship. However, Hereford’s season came to a close at the hands of the Damascus Hornets, as the green and gold took down the maroon and yellow in the state quarterfinals. After losing six seniors, including all-county nominee Lauren Clement, who hit .420 while striking out 77 on the mound, the Bulls are set to be led by senior Morgan Hall, who mashed at the plate last season, hitting .587 with two bombs. 6. Milford Mill The Millers opened their season with a 3-4 record, that included one-point road losses to Loch Raven and Pikesville. Despite the rough start, Milford finished their season on a five game win streak, that included revenge against both teams, beating the Raiders 8-7 and the Panthers 13-12. The academy’s region has just two teams, sending them straight to the regional championship, where they fell to the Hereford Bulls. This season’s squad will look very similar for the green and black, with just two athletes, Cortai Thompson and Tomi Adenugba, graduating. Playoffs this season could look different, if New Town and Owings Mills go into the bracket, but only time will tell how far the Millers can go. 7. Carver The Wildcats could be a wildcard this spring season after a 2025 campaign that featured several highs and lows. After opening the season 0-3, Carver went on a 4-1 run, followed immediately by a 1-4 run, with their regular season ultimately ending with a 6-8 record. Despite falling short of the .500 mark, the Wildcat squad went on a tear through the regional bracket, beating ACCE by 7 in the quarterfinals, Loch Raven by 20 in the semis, and Western Tech 14-10 in a high scoring regional championship game. Unfortunately, Carver went into the state tournament as the bottom seed, forced to face the future 1A state champions, the Mardela Warriors. After losing three seniors, Carver is lucky to have Mia McGarvey back for this spring, as the all-county nominee will look to lead her squad to their third consecutive regional title. 8. Dundalk Last season, the Owls offense was one of the best that BCPS had to offer. In 11 regular season wins, Dundalk secured two wins with at least 20 runs scored, while 9 had double digits cross the plate. Their three losses included two at the hands of the Hereford Bulls and another against Catonsville. Their first playoff game was the regional semifinal match, which was their second consecutive against Kenwood. After beating the Bluebirds 10-0 to end the regular season, Dundalk took them down just 3-1, advancing them to the regional championship, where they ultimately fell to Perry Hall 6-3. Coming into this spring, the Owls are set to be led by senior Makayla Woods who will play in her fourth season with the Dundalk squad. 9. Towson The Generals opened their season with a three-game win streak that included an 18-4 road win against the Gators on opening day, followed by a 19-5 win on the road in Sparrows Point just four days later. The midseason featured a 7-1 stretch, with the one loss coming in a 15-14 affair at home against the Pointers. This would not be the only instance of home struggles for the Towson team, as they took down Eastern Tech on the road 16-3 early in the season, before losing their final game of the season 13-12 at home against the Mavericks. The squad with six seniors fell in their first playoff game, losing 7-0 at home against the then 8-7 Catonsville Comets, ending their season. 10. Chesapeake The Bayhawks’ offense opened the season incredibly well, defeating Loch Raven 24-11 at home, Milford Mill on the road 24-8, and New Town 20-4 in an away game, with those three all coming in their first four games. Despite some midseason struggles, Chesapeake ended their regular season on a four-game win streak, giving them a final record of 8-4. Their first playoff game came against SEED, where the Bayhawks took down the Sabers 26-7, before being silenced in the regional championship, falling 23-0. The reason for the low spot for Chesapeake surrounds the inconsistency of their play, but if this spring’s squad can sort that out, this team looks to be in good shape

In the first week back from winter break, multiple Baltimore County girls basketball teams had at least two games, leading to plenty of incredible results from the week’s slate. Historic blowouts and close matches led the way in the five games of the week from January 5-9: Loch Raven: 74, Chesapeake: 6 The biggest blowout of the week belongs to Loch Raven, as the Raiders took down the Chesapeake Bayhawks in a 68-point win. The Raiders missed three shots in the first 30 seconds of the game, but a steal from senior Kensley Marcus led to freshman Kennadi Cloude scoring the game’s first points. From there, the team went on a twenty-point run before Chesapeake scored their first points of the game. Chesapeake’s final points of the game came on a lay-up just over halfway through the second quarter, as the Raiders went on a 34-point run in the contest’s final twenty minutes. Kensley Marcus led the scoring for Loch Raven, contributing 24 points in fifteen minutes, with Jadyn Williams adding eighteen and Jadon Conteh ten. Dulaney: 62, Lansdowne: 11 The Lions followed up a 45-point win over Randallstown with another blowout at home against Lansdowne. After several shots by both teams, Dulaney drained the game’s first points on a contested layup, and the team ran away with the game from there. The Lions continued a 10-3 run throughout the first quarter, and by halftime, the team led 34-9. The Vikings scored just two points in the second half, while giving up 28. By the end of the game, Lansdowne logged their biggest loss of the season, falling by 51 points. The Vikings’ leading scorer was senior Piper Graham, who contributed three points. Sparrows Point: 36, Carver: 32 The Wildcats traveled to the eastside of the county to take on the Pointers in what proved to be one of the lowest scoring matchups of the week. Carver clung to a narrow 8-6 lead at the end of the first quarter, but their offense faltered in the second, scoring just four while the defense allowed eleven. In the third, neither team scored double digit points, but Sparrows Point had taken a four-point lead going into the final eight minutes. With both teams tacking on eleven in the final quarter, the Pointers held a 36-32 victory. For a team with a majority of underclassmen, junior Elisah Guity led the scoring for Carver, contributing nineteen with eleven total rebounds as well. Milford Mill: 40, New Town: 33 The 31 Titans traveled to take on their undefeated rivals at Milford Mill Academy on Friday evening. The game started off with strong defense on both sides, as the two teams combined for just seven points halfway through the first. After the slow start, there were 19 points scored by the end of the first, but by halftime, the Millers clung to a narrow 17-15 lead. Milford extended the lead by two points over the next eight minutes, then another three in the final quarter, winning the rivalry match 40-33. Pikesville: 101, Owings Mills, 7 On Friday, the undefeated Panthers hosted an Owings Mills team with just one win during the regular season. It took just seven seconds for sophomore Qaidence David to score the game’s first points, and by the end of the quarter, Pikesville held a 35-0 lead. The Golden Eagles scored their first points of the game just under three minutes into the second quarter, but by halftime, Pikesville held a 57-2 lead. Owings Mills put up another five in the third quarter, but Pikesville crossed the triple-digit line with a long two-pointer with 75 seconds left, finalizing the first 100-point game in Baltimore County this season. For Pikesville, Kyndall Richardson, Mariah Jones-Bey, Qaidence David, NyJae Malikali-El, and Skylah Anderson each crossed the ten point mark in the blowout.

For most high school students, winter break is a week and a half at the end of the calendar year to sleep in, spend time with family, and relax outside of school.
