mid winter status: middle school

The Middle School teams are in the midst of conference play.  Both teams are part of the MJAC conference (Maryland Junior Athletic Conference) and in addition to regular season games, they will participate in an end of season tournament.  The middle school boys are 6 and 3....they've had some amazing wins at the buzzer and some "grind it out" wins as well....and of course, they've fought hard and lost a couple as well.  Through it all though, they've exhibited great character along with a never give up attitude.   In the second game against Friends, they were down by 16 points and came back to lose by only 7 at the final buzzer.  As coach John told them, they didn't lose, they just ran out of time.  There are two more regular season games for the middle school boys.  If you haven't been to see one of them, you're missing an amazing experience! 

The Middle School Girls are 5 and 2 in conference play.  They are the happiest team on the court....but don't let their smiles fool you, they are ferocious down deep.  They scrap for every loose ball and play until the whistle blows.  Going from a Middle School Boys game to a Middle School Girls game requires a mindset change, but even though the temperature in the gym cools down, the play on the floor is just as tough.  The Middle School Girls convert loose balls into scoring opportunities and have made runs on every team in the league.  They have 4 more games to play in regular season competition...come on out and support the Middle School Girls, you won't be disappointed!
