Staying Perfect
The Heritage Academy boys are now the last remaining undefeated team in Washington County at (6-0) after posting wins over Calvary Christian and Hancock over the last week.
St. Maria Goretti and Williamsport both fell from the unbeatens in the last few days. The Gaels lost a tough 71-63 BCL contest at nationally ranked St. Frances Academy on Tuesday and Clear Spring pinned Williamsport with their first loss on Friday, 54-42.
On the ladies side, Williamsport is the only perfect county team left at (4-0) overall. The Lady Cats posted two dominate wins last week with a 50-27 win over Boonsboro and a 60-20 victory at Clear Spring on Friday.
Searching for that first win
The Boonsboro Warriors (0-3) are the last county boys team without a victory this season. The Warriors look to enter the win column this week as they travel to Walkersville on Monday evening and come home to face Catoctin on Wednesday.
For the girls, Hancock and Smithsburg are both searching for their first victory after (0-4) starts. The Lady Panthers will have their hands full with a home game vs. Grace Academy on Monday night and a road contest at Northern Garrett on Tuesday. Smithsburg travels to face undefeated Williamsport on Tuesday and Clear Spring on Thursday night.
