Talk about high stakes.
Looking to win their third consecutive state championship, the Severna Park girls soccer team entered overtime in a deadlock with Oakdale, 3-3, last Saturday. The score remained tied at halftime in extra time, but Harper Wallace came up big for the Falcons. She received the ball from Molly Koistinen on the right wing and floated in a cross that beat everyone, drifting in just inside the far post. That score resulted in jubilation for Severna Park as players rushed the field at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County before hoisting the Class 3A title plaque.
Though Broadneck volleyball won the Class 4A state championship in straight sets (28-26, 28-26, 25-22) on Saturday at Harford Community College, each set proved to be a nailbiter between the Bruins and the opposing Hawks. Broadneck trailed 14-22 in the third set, but the girls emphatically denied an Urbana comeback, rallying to a 22-22 tie before taking the lead for good. The win was extra sweet for a Bruins team that made the finals last year when they lost to undefeated Richard Montgomery.
Archbishop Spalding’s football team celebrated a record-setting fourth consecutive Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) A Conference championship on Saturday, beating McDonogh 30-22 at Whittles Field in Severn.
The Eagles led in the game 16-3 in the first half, but Spalding surged back with a string of highlight-reel plays including a leaping one-handed touchdown grab in the back of the end zone by wide receiver Aaron Igwebe. McDonogh later took a 22-17 lead with 10:40 left. That lead did not last long. Cavaliers sophomore wide receiver Kam Miller bolted through McDonogh’s kickoff coverage and sprinted for a 99-yard touchdown. Spalding bolstered that lead with a score by senior running back Antonio Ledbetter.
