The 6-foot-2 senior, who played center, forward and even point guard, had 27 points and 16 rebounds to lead Brunswick to a 64-49 win at Owings Mills High School."We knew she was trouble," said Milford Mill coach Ken Witts, who saw McLane put on a similar performance against the Millers in last year's regional final.

The Century boys showed their depth at Saturday's Pikesville Track Classic.

The Milford Mill boys basketball team set a fast pace to Thursday's Class 3A state semifinal game, challenging overmatched Urbana to keep up. Guards Justin Jenifer, Bruce Watkins and the rest of the No. 4 Millers simply wouldn't let the Hawks stay close for long. Jenifer scored a game-high 20 points, Watkins added 18 as the Millers cruised to a 78-53 win over Urbana at the University of Maryland's Comcast Center.

The junior forward led the No. 4 Millers (24-2) to the Class 3A North regional championship last week, playing a pivotal role in the team's 64-50 semifinal win over Patterson on Tuesday before Friday's 70-65 victory against City in the title game. Costley scored 25 points against Patterson, including 13-for-13 from the free-throw line, and he also had seven rebounds. In Friday's win against City, he stepped up when it was needed most to pull away in the closing minute.

Milford Mill junior forward Allen Costley had an emphatic dunk with 3 minutes, 13 seconds to play against visiting City that made a statement that the Class 3A North region belonged to the Millers. In the closing minutes of the game Friday night, he was more subtle in helping make sure. With the game tied and 37 seconds left, Costley was free under the basket as the Millers broke City's press. Sophomore guard Justin Jenifer found him with an outlet pass from half court for an easy lay in. Costley would go on to seal the win in the closing seconds when his shot was called good on goaltending as the Millers came away with a 70-65 win over the Knights.

They will go after their second straight county championship on Feb. 19 against the 2A-1A division winner.

By ground or by air, Chesapeake senior quarterback David DiSciullo just wanted to defeat Milford Mill."We hadn't beaten Milford in my four years here," DiSciullo said after leading the Bayhawks to a 20-15 victory over the Millers, "and I've been on the varsity team for three years."Last season, the 5-foot-11, 185-pounder basically handed off in the simple option offense run by former Bayhawks coach Frank Ewing, who's now at Hereford."We've had some great runners at Chesapeake," said DiSciullo.

Allen Costley can often be found in Milford Mill's gym at 6 a.m., working on his shooting before classes begin. He did that once again Monday, and the extra practice paid off later in the day. Costley finished with a game-high 30 points, 18 of which came in the second half as No. 4 Milford Mill pulled away in the final two quarters en route to an 80-61 victory over visiting Dulaney in a Baltimore County Class 4A-3A game. Dulaney (16-2, 6-2) couldn't find a way to stop the 6-foot-4 junior forward, who scored from all over the court in a variety of ways.

Ball movement and trusting teammates are two things the Milford Mill boys basketball team preaches on offense. The No. 5 Millers found an ideal example in the closing seconds against No. 10 Edmondson in the final night of the 17th annual Basketball Academy at Morgan State. Holding the ball for the last shot with 30 seconds left in a tie game, sophomore guard Justin Jenifer started his move to the basket with seven seconds left. When the Red Storm defense collapsed on him, he found senior guard Davonte Williams in the left corner.
