Green Hornets 8U Boys Ride Win Streak To League Title

Posted

The season wasn’t an immediate slam dunk for the Green Hornets 8U select boys basketball team, which started the year 0-2 in Anne Arundel County play.

But Severna Park’s team of youngsters turned it around quickly, went on a win streak and captured the league championship.

The 8U Green Hornets reeled off nine straight victories to close the year 9-2 and in first place of their Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks division.

Harrison Rumney, Finn Fowler, Chase Connell, Raymond Schummer, Brian Feldmaier, Luke Rex, Liam Brown, Tilghman Jeffers and Brennan Jones employed a stifling defense to limit multiple opponents to single-digit totals. Fowler, Rumney and Schummer were the high scorers, while Connell and Rex provided leadership on both ends of the floor and everyone made valued contributions.

The team was coached by Marshall Rumney, Pat Connell and Brad Fowler.

“The best part about this team was seeing the transformation and growth from practice No. 1 through game No. 11,” said coach Rumney. “Their willingness to learn and consistently work hard in each practice led to their success in games, and their unselfish play made them a really fun group to work with.”
