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

Edgewood girls basketball beat Milford Mill for the first regional championship in program history!! Jael Erickson had 22 points, and Chris Lang scored 11. The lady rams held the lead over the millers the whole game. Samaria Lewis started the game with two clutch threes, and Naja Dalmida had a great game on offense, scoring 8 points. Next game is Saturday, home at 2 pm vs Thomas S Wooton. -Wes Laguerre

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.

Coming into the game, Randallstown was coming off a dominant 36-0 win at home against the New Town Titans, while Milford Mill took down the Woodlawn Warriors 55-6. In the first quarter following a Randallstown punt, Milford Mill’s Mi’cah Williams and Damon Ferguson Jr. both ripped off double-digit yard runs, bringing the Millers to the Randallstown 30. The drive was capped off when junior Deonte Ross got the ball into the end zone. Following a successful PAT, the Millers lead 7-0 early. Randallstown’s next drive began with the ball moving steadily, but was intercepted by TJ Turner who brought the ball back to the 50-yard line. On the next play, Mi’cah Williams found Amauri Patterson deep for a score. On their next drive, the Rams turned it over on towns, but Milford Mill threw an interception, taken away by #7 from Randallstown. Milford Mill got the ball back after Randallstown did not score, and ended their drive with a 25-yard rushing touchdown by Dejuan Nelson. After failing to convert the 2-point try, the Millers now led 19-0. With under a minute to go in the first half, Amauri Patterson picked up his second touchdown of the half from ten yards out. Owen Newburns ran into the end zone on the two-point try, giving Milford Mill a commanding 27-0 lead going into halftime. The majority of the third quarter went by uneventfully, until the final two minutes. With under a minute to go in the quarter, Randallstown’s #11 recovered a Milford fumble, but immediately after that, Jordan Ford intercepted the Randallstown quarterback’s second pick of the day. After moving the ball a bit up-field, Dejuan Nelson broke free, scoring from 48-yards out to give the Millers as 34-0 lead. Before the quarter came to a close, following Randallstown’s solid kickoff return, #3 for the Rams had a deep rushing touchdown of his own, this one from 40 yards away. After a failed two-point conversion, Milford Mill’s lead was slightly cut, now leading 34-6. Milford Mill proceeded to open the fourth quarter with a 1-yard rushing touchdown, and following Mi’cah Williams finding Amauri Patterson for the two-point conversion, the Millers had 42. A solid kick return set the Rams up well for a quick two minute drive to get into the red zone. With eight minutes left to play, #24 scored the second touchdown of the game for his team, marking just the second time this season that Milford Mill has given up double-digit points. After a failed two-point conversion, the Millers got the ball back. Very quickly, Mi’cah Williams found Amauri Patterson, this time for 55-yards, marking Patterson’s third touchdown of the game and the end of the scoring in this contest. Milford Mill improved to 8-0 after taking down the Randallstown Rams 48-12. With just one week left in the regular season, the Millers will host Owings Mills next week while the Rams will travel to Franklin to take on the 6-2 Indians.

Graphics credit to @milford_mill_athletics on Instagram In his first time ever running cross country, Milford Mill senior Aaiden Clark is setting records for both himself and his school. As an indoor track and field runner during his junior year, Clark was clearly one of the best athletes in Baltimore County. During his junior year, Clark achieved top-five finishes in both the 800 meter and 4x800 meter relays, while also placing first in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs throughout the season. “Prior to this year, I never ran cross country, but after my indoor season last year, I decided to give it a try… I wasn’t quite sure what I could do in [cross country] since I never ran it before. I was literally taking it one step at a time,” Clark explained. While it was clear that Clark could shine in shorter distance events, Milford Mill’s head cross country coach, Sharon Johnson, knew that he had potential beyond Indoor track and field. “It was apparent to me almost immediately that [Aaiden] was a distance runner. He was receptive to the change,” said Johnson. The change from shorter track events to longer cross country meets did not come without any struggles. During the outdoor track and field season in the spring of 2025, Clark suffered a fractured tibia, ending his season before it truly began. Coach Johnson understands that this injury would have driven most to quit, but she “assisted [Aaiden] with the rehab during the eight weeks that he was out. By the summer, the leg had healed so he could start his training for cross.” In this first meet of the season at Franklin High, Aaiden’s first 5000 meter time was just over twenty minutes, then proceeding to lower his time to 17:23 at the Barnhart Invitational. Aaiden was feeling good, especially after Barnhart, but was still happy with his first time of the season. “The Franklin meet was a training session, so there [were] no expectations for me at the meet. My mileage was increased significantly, and weight training was incorporated into my routine,” he explained. Over the next two meets, Clark’s time increased by a total of five minutes, leading Coach Johnson to take quick action to get him back on track in time for Oakland Mills. Clark explained that Johnson “shutdown [his] mileage so that [his] legs could recover. I was feeling really fresh at [Oakland Mills]. This freshness was proven in his time. Clark lowered his time by six minutes, finishing the race in 16:16. That time was strong enough to not only land him first in that race, but earn him both the all-time meet record along with the Milford Mill record. While Clark is ecstatic about achieving the records, both he and his coach understand that there is still work to be done. “I would like to lower the time even more because I believe that I have more in me to give,” said Clark. Coach Johnson agrees that he likely can lower his time more, but is concerned with the hills in the county championships this Thursday. Despite the challenge, Coach Johnson knows that if anyone can do it, it would be Aaiden. “His training is significantly more than the other athletes. He is willing to put in the extra mileage that is needed for his event.” With the final meets of the season starting this week, Aaiden Clark will continue to make a name for himself on the state-wide scale.

Photo credit to Shots by Diamm, on Instagram @shotsbydiamm On Friday, two of Baltimore County’s best teams, the Milford Mill Millers and the Franklin Indians, faced off in a week five varsity football matchup. Both teams came into the match undefeated, with the Indians taking down Woodlawn at home 21-0 and the Millers dominating Catonsville on the road in a 62-point blowout win. Franklin’s offense opened the game on their own 29-yard line, but quickly punted the ball away to the Millers. Milford Mill’s offense got out to a hot start as senior quarterback Mi’cah Williams found Owen Newberns with a deep pass to bring the Millers into the red zone. Just a few plays later, Damon Ferguson Jr. found the end zone to give Milford Mill a 6-0 lead. In their next offensive drive, Franklin’s Tanner Hutchins found Chideziri Duru for a quick gain of fourteen, but the Indians ultimately had to punt again. The Millers had several chunk plays in their second drive, but were forced to punt as well. During the Indians’ first series, they were tackled in the end zone for a safety, giving Milford Mill an 8-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, Milford Mill’s Dejuan Nelson ripped off a 37-yard run to bring the ball to Franklin’s 15-yard line. Two minutes later, Mi’cah Williams ran the ball in from the 1-yard line for a touchdown. Following a failed two-point conversion, the Millers led 14-0. Following a quick three-and-out by the Indians, the Millers’ offense got the ball again. Gilbert Robinson stepped up big for Franklin, tackling Milford Mill for a loss and forcing a punt to give the Indians’ offense a chance to score. With just over three minutes in the first half remaining, Milford Mill receiver Ky’ree Murphy lost the ball, and the fumble was recovered by Franklin’s Jaidon Williams. Soon after that, Milford Mill’s Koby Sarkodie recovered a Franklin fumble and returned it 15 yards for Milford’s third touchdown of the half. Following an Oluwasola Adebimpe PAT, the Millers led 21-0 at halftime. Milford Mill received the Franklin kickoff coming out of halftime and had the ball at their own 30-yard line. Dejuan Nelson ripped off two huge runs in their first drive, setting up sophomore Raemond Williams for a quick two-yard punch in. The Millers now had a four-score lead just two minutes into the second half. Their second touchdown of the quarter, and fifth of the game, came just two minutes later, as Mi’cah Williams found senior Amauri Patterson for a score from 34 yards out. With another PAT made, Milford Mill now led the Indians 35-0. In the fourth quarter, Franklin’s Tanner Hutchins found Jayen Newman for a big chunk of yards, but that drive resulted in a turnover on downs after the Indians went for it on fourth down. Without any more scoring, this game ended with a final score of 35-0 in favor of the Millers. Mi’cah Williams finished the game 12/19 with 141 passing yards and one passing touchdown, along with 80 rushing yards on six attempts, plus a rushing touchdown. Milford Mill’s leading rusher was Dejuan Nelson, who finished the game with 95 yards on eight attempts and a touchdown. Amauri Patterson was the leading receiver, as he had five receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown of his own. In week six, the 4-1 Franklin Indians are set to face the 0-5 Catonsville Comets on the road. The 5-0 Millers will host the 4-1 New Town Titans on Thursday night.

During last year’s North I regional quarterfinals, the Overlea Falcons took down the Milford Mill Millers in a two-set victory. In just their third game of the 2025 season, the two teams matched up again at Overlea High School on September 11. This match was the Millers’ first on the road, coming after two strong wins at home against Chesapeake (BC) and Loch Raven. The Falcons also played Chesapeake at home just a couple of days prior, winning three sets to zero. The game started strong for both sides, with the first set being a back-and-forth affair the whole way through, resulting in a tie at twenty-three points. Nearing the end of the set, Hailee Fields was set to serve. Overlea returned her first serve, but Hailey Jones sent it back over the net, narrowly missing the kill, but giving the Millers a one-point lead. Fields’s next serve was not returned, and Milford Mill captured the first set. The Millers then followed up that performance with a strong second set. Leading by just one point and nearing the end, Amariah Simon returned a serve in the perfect location where it could not be tipped back or dug out, giving Hailey Jones an opportunity to bring the set home for Milford Mill. Leading 22-20, she delivered three serves. Out of those three, just one was returned, which resulted in a kill from Amariah Simon. The Millers took the second set with a final score of 25-20. On their last leg, Overlea kicked into another gear, going into the third set. Their largest deficit in the set was a six-point deficit, which happened three separate times. The Falcons came out hot, leading 10-4, then 14-8. Milford Mill took the deficit as a wake-up call, battling back to being down 14-13. After a few even points, Overlea turned its game to another level. The team finished the set going 8-2 to give them their first set victory of the day, winning 25-19. Milford Mill’s head coach, Nicole Reed, explained that part of the reason for the rough set was libero Emily Dinh missing several points as an injury was being treated. Despite losing the set, Coach Reed was proud of how the “entire team played together and never got flustered, despite the closeness of every set and our set three loss.” The fourth set started strong for Overlea, as they had an early 6-0 lead. In response, Hailey Jones went to serve for Milford Mill. She delivered eight serves, including three aces and two more close calls, prompting Overlea head coach Ashleigh Newkirk to call a timeout. The move by Newkirk worked, as her team brought the game back into their favor, 9-8. Later in the set, the score was knotted up at nineteen. After a bit more back and forth, Hailey Jones delivered her team-leading eighth ace of the game. The fourth set finished with Milford Mill winning 25-21, and the whole match 3-1. Coach Reed appreciated Hailey Jones’s clutch game-winning moment, explaining that it was a clear display of the leadership that exists on her team. Milford Mill remains undefeated with the win, and they will look to continue the streak in their game on Tuesday in Parkville. Overlea will look to reset in their match at Loch Raven on Tuesday, as they will work to form their identity early in the season.

Pikesville High School’s girl's basketball team is set to return to the Baltimore County championship game for the eighth consecutive season. The Panthers will be taking on the Millers from Milford Mill Academy on Tuesday with tip-off at 5:00. The Panthers had yet another fantastic season, highlighted by an 18-3 overall record and an undefeated regular season against Baltimore County opponents. All three of Pikesville’s losses came against non-regional and out-of-conference opponents. Coming off of a loss at home against North Point High School, junior captain Mariah Jones-Bey described the team atmosphere as “hungry”. “We need to play as a team, communicate, and stop thinking we can win by ourselves,” she explain when asked how they can move past the loss. Jones-Bey is Pikesville’s points, assists, and steals leader this season with 247, 96, and 151 respectively. On the other side of the ball, the Milford Mill Millers come into this game with a 17-3 overall record and the second-best season in Baltimore County, only losing one county game to the Towson Generals in late January. Milford Mill is led by senior guard Tatyana Fields, who led the team with 19.6 points per game. The team comes into this game on the heels of a strong 57-12 victory over the Randallstown Rams last Friday. The most recent matchup between Milford Mill and Pikesville came on January 25, 2023, when the Panthers dominated, winning 70-16. Fans from both teams are encouraged to attend the game tonight at Pikesville High School. Tickets are available on GoFan for $10. Graphic by @pikesvillewbb._ Instagram
