After one day at the Comcast Center 16 teams are now down to 12 and the championship games are set for the 3A and 4A classifications.
In the first semi-final game of the day on Thursday City defeated Urbana 56-36. This game wasn’t close as the undefeated Baltimore City team was in control the whole way.
In the second 3A semi-final we had our closest game of the day as defending state champs Milford Mill lost a close one, 71-68 to Westlake. Westlake used a box and one on Millers PG Justin Jenifer for much of the game. This game was dominated by superb point guard play both ways.
In the third game of the day Montgomery County’s Walt Whitman overcame an early deficit to come back and defeat Annapolis 59-48 in another game dominated by stellar guard play by both teams.
And in the final game of the day Springbrook was attempting to make it an all Montgomery County 4A championship game but it wasn’t to be as PG County champions Wise led from wire to wire and defeated the Silver Spring school 57-44. Wise forward and N.C. St. football commit Micah Till had the line of the day with 18 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and a block.
