Boys Latin

Coming out of a quiet stretch - which included being suspended for a game for violating team policy - Wells Stanwick bounced back in resounding fashion Tuesday night. The Johns Hopkins sophomore attackman set career highs in goals (five) and assists (four), powering the No. 10 Blue Jays' men's lacrosse team to a 19-9 thumping of visiting Mount St. Mary's at Homewood Field. Stanwick's performance - he needed just five shots to match his goal output from his first three games this season - was especially timely as Johns Hopkins (4-1)

Locally, top-ranked Loyola and No. 3 Maryland lead the state with three players each on the list.

Gilman coach Zach Collins said his team "got hammered" when Boys' Latin beat the Greyhounds, 9-4, about two weeks ago. This time, the outcome was much different in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference championship Friday as Gilman posted a 6-2 victory over the Lakers at Piney Orchard Ice Arena in Odenton.  The Greyhounds' intensity made the difference. "It was by far the hardest they have worked all year," Collins said. "They were willing to do all the small things that don't always show up on the score sheet.

No. 5 John Carroll took its first step toward a threepeat of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association AConference boys basketball championship.

Six players scored, including 10 points by the forwards in the paint, and John Carroll took a 24-7 lead after the first quarter and a 34-13 lead at the break.

No. 13 Lake Clifton was down by two after the first quarter, so a defensive switch was coming. The Lakers defenders targeted No. 10 Poly's No. 1 scoring threat, John Crosby, denying him opportunities. And the Lakers (13-7, 5-3 Baltimore City) won the next three quarters and the game, 67-51, to upset the Engineers (14-5, 5-2) in boys basketball Tuesday night. Stephen Brown led Lake Clifton with 17 points, and Crosby had 16 for Poly. No. 3 Dunbar 81, Forest Park 59: The visiting Foresters (10-5, 3-5 city)

When Jeff Chase committed to Loyola as a member of the Boys' Latin lacrosse team, the Greyhounds thought they were getting one of the country's premier midfielders. The program is still high on the Monrovia native, but it's unclear what Chase can provide because of yet another injury. Chase, an Under Armour All-America selection in his senior year, redshirted last season because of an unspecified injury, and another ailment has delayed his return to the practice field this winter, according to coach Charley Toomey.

Emmanuel Toney scored 24 points and Austin Nwosu added 15 as Annapolis Area Christian School (12-5) upset No. 12 Boys Latin (18-4), 71-55, in Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference boys basketball Monday. The visiting Lakers took an early lead behind Colin Heacock (15 points), Casey Rees (14) and Blair Brooks (12), but in the second half, the Eagles took control and maintained an eight- to 10-point lead until the both coaches cleared their benches with about two minutes left.

No. 14 Randallstown found itself trailing for most of the game to No. 6 City at the 17th Basketball Academy at Morgan State. But a flurry of steals and fast breaks in the final five minutes led to the Rams upsetting the Knights, 57-51, on Saturday in boys basketball. Brian Jefferson and Ahmaad Wilson had most of the steals for Randallstown in the fourth quarter. The Rams remained composed at the free-throw line, making 10 foul shots down the stretch and 21 of 25 for the game.

After losing two games in a row, the No. 8 Roland Park girls basketball team has started to turn things around. The visiting Reds (10-9, 3-7 Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference) rode a 13-point halftime lead and went on to beat Mercy, 52-27, on Saturday. The win is the second straight for Roland Park. The Reds' longest winning streak, seven games, was halted by a 57-46 loss to No. 1 Archbishop Spalding on Jan. 11. Jaia Alexander had a game-high 13 points for Roland Park.
