🏀🏀 ROAD TO COLLEGE PARK | MPSSAA 1A State Semifinal | Forest Park vs Pikesville Highlights from the ladies of Forest Park vs Pikesville. The buzz around town: this was a big game since the Foresters fell to Pikesville last year in the semis by 1 point, and Pikesville, now a young team, was looking to make a run at another state title. The stage was definitely set, and these girls were ready to fight. Panthers came right out firing establishing an early lead. Foresters gained some momentum capitalizing on some early fouls by Pikesville. However, the Panthers began to set their dominance getting steals and quick scores. Second half, one of the media personnel alerted MFV to possible issue shooting on the opposite side, since wall from the backboard is further on that side of the court. This meant shooters would have to really adjust to judging the spacing of their shot. The side with closer wall to the backboard might have been what both teams were use to normally. Foresters could take advantage in the 2nd half, if it affected Pikesville’s shooting. It it didn’t phase the Panthers, and they continued spreading their lead. BIG CONGRATS to FORESTERS on their hard work and dedication this season. Keep shining Ladies. To the PANTHERS, keep that foot on the gas, CONGRATS, one more round to go. MUCH THANKS to New Town HS and MPSSAA for allowing us to film. Final Score: FORESTERS - 33 PANTHERS - 59 👀 MFV U📺🔗⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD6Ck0RTZyw

In the Ravens team locker room at M&T Bank Stadium, I couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride for the 18 young men and women honored at the 2024 Minds in Motion Scholar-Athlete Scholarship Luncheon. This event, hosted by the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA), was more than just a celebration of academic and athletic excellence; it was a testament to the power of dedication, hard work, and community support. In an era where headlines are often dominated by the exploits of professional athletes and the latest educational reforms, it’s easy to overlook the remarkable achievements happening in our own backyards. Yet here were 18 students, each one a shining example of what can be achieved with perseverance and passion. These scholar-athletes are the heart of our communities, balancing rigorous academic schedules with demanding sports commitments, and excelling in both arenas. Guest speaker Jamie Sharper, a former Baltimore Ravens linebacker, perfectly encapsulated the spirit of the day. His message to the scholar-athletes about the importance of gratitude and mindfulness resonated deeply. Sharper’s three pillars of success serve as a valuable reminder that the qualities which define a champion on the field – discipline, resilience, and teamwork – are equally vital in every aspect of life. Each introduction by the district representatives was a poignant reminder of the village it takes to raise such exceptional individuals. Principals, athletic directors, coaches, and family members all played a role in shaping these students into the accomplished young adults they are today. Their collective support and encouragement have not only nurtured athletic prowess but also fostered academic curiosity and achievement. The Minds in Motion Scholar-Athlete program, now in its 17th year, has awarded over $235,000 in scholarships since its inception in 2008. This program stands as a beacon of what can be achieved when we invest in our youth. By requiring a minimum 3.25 unweighted GPA and participation in interscholastic sports, the MPSSAA ensures that these scholarships are awarded to those who truly embody the spirit of a scholar-athlete. But beyond the financial support, the true value of this program lies in the recognition and validation it provides. For these students, being celebrated at such a prestigious event is an acknowledgment of their hard work and sacrifices. It’s a powerful motivator, not just for the recipients but for their peers who look up to them. As we applaud Carter Brotherton, Ava Burgunder, Kincade Burroughs, Benjamin Caplan, Blake Carberry, Daniela Carrasco-Gonzalez, Aliyah Carroll, Iva Damyanova, Naima Fagon, Chloe Gaines, Gregory Hrica, Aryaman Kantawala, Molly Lang, Josh Lankford, Abby Richard, Abinash Subedi, Robert James Wood, and Nick Zampardi, we must also reflect on what their achievements represent. They are a testament to the strength of our educational and athletic programs and a reminder of the potential within every student. In a world where the challenges facing our youth are ever-evolving, it’s crucial to celebrate and support programs like Minds in Motion. These initiatives not only recognize the achievements of our young people but also inspire them to reach greater heights. As a community, we must continue to champion and invest in our scholar-athletes, for they are the future leaders, innovators, and changemakers who will shape the world. So, here’s to the 18 remarkable students honored today. May their stories inspire us all to strive for excellence and to support the next generation with the same fervor and commitment that has brought them to this momentous occasion. 2024 Minds in Motion Scholar-Athlete Recipients: • Carter Brotherton, Great Mills • Ava Burgunder, Pikesville • Kincade Burroughs, North Point • Benjamin Caplan, Baltimore City College • Blake Carberry, North Harford • Daniela Carrasco-Gonzalez, Stephen Decatur • Aliyah Carroll, Forest Park • Iva Damyanova, Mount Hebron • Naima Fagon, Charles H.

With many seniors graduating after Poly's second consecutive city title victory in 2023, Coach Phil Thompson had to prepare underclassmen who played little to no role in previous years to defend a highly competitive championship. He has relied on captains Datris Moore and Bowen Vallery, who have taken leadership roles both on and off the field. Coach Phil knows what it takes to reach his goals, and he is looking to instill a competitive spirit in his squad that is necessary to reach them. Poly play Forest Park, a team that may be standing in their way at the end of the season. Stay in the Zone for the results of this important clash!

Edmondson-Westside continued its dominant season by claiming the Class 1A regional title over Forest Park, 66-38. No.1 Dantzler and No.10 Forster both chipped in with 20 points to give the Red Storm the offensive spark they needed. However, offense was not the only reason this game was one-sided, as Edmondson played a solid game from start to finish to walk away regional champs. Three-pointers, paint shots, and turnovers were the biggest factor to start off the game. Forest Park played a 2-3 zone that got stretched out and passed around by the Red Storm for wide-open threes and easy shots in the paint. This quarter was competitive thanks to Forest Park having a suffocating full-court press that caused numerous turnovers and fastbreak opportunities. However, when the Red Storm had the chance to set up in the half-court they showed their superiority, as a result, the first quarter ended 19-10 in Edmondson’s favor. The second quarter was dictated by the three-ball. While both teams had presses that gave the other issues, the game’s momentum was decided by the team that was able to capitalize on open threes. Edmondson showed repeatedly that the zone defense Forest Park played was no issue in the halfcourt, but in the fullcourt, they still coughed the ball up far too much. The Foresters still had a shot by the end of the half due to the open threes and fastbreak layups they were able to make, both teams headed to the locker room with the score being 33-21 in Edmondson’s favor. The third quarter was where things started to get out of hand for the Foresters. No.5 Kozze came out of the break and made two quick threes to shift momentum in their direction, but they were unable to capitalize on this hot start. The three-ball was not falling for the Red Storm this quarter, but they were able to get easy looks in the paint and forced turnovers that led to easy points. Forest Park floundered after the blistering start, only able to generate more offense by getting to the charity stripe, but the team was unable to convert time and time again, turning many possessions into wasted opportunities. The third would end with a scoreline of Edmondson 51, Forest Park 33. The fourth quarter was where the Red Storm turned this game into a rout. Forest Park’s offense turned frigid, as they would only score five more points in the rest of the game due to Edmondson’s 3-2 zone pestering the Foresters and forcing contested shots and turnovers. Edmondson was able to generate the same efficient offense and largely cruised through the fourth. By the four-minute mark, the starters had been benched and Red Storm fans started to celebrate their regional championship victory. With a 16-2 season record after this dominant victory, Edmondson players and coaches can celebrate their achievements now, and prepare for the state tournament reseeding.
