12. Northeast-TOO many year round basketball players in AA County for NE to compete against
11. Southern-playing against TOO much south talent. Brown was their major contributor and no one there can fill her shoes.
10. North County-their guard goes hard and is working constantly to improve her game. Biggest problem-no bench. Last year only had 8.
9. Chesapeake-incoming freshman can score. Post will help with boards. Teamwork may be the biggest problem here.
8. Broadneck-got to go against a tough south division, but they love to play the spoiler.
7. Glen Burnie-Jordan Hawkins CAN win games for them. With some help from a supporting cast and if someone learns how to get the ball into her, they could do well. If the get the inside game going, outside game for their shooter becomes a threat.
6. Severna Park-graduated their leaders, but still have Burnett to slash, point guard Davis who hates to lose, and little sister Carroll who can make a difference. Still have contributors on their bench.
5. Arundel-Need to use their personnel more effectively. Kennadi can't do it all. And other strong players like Roy and Warren can make a difference.
4. Annapolis-May need to gel a season together with their new coaches. Played together in the fall and at times look pretty strong. Consistency, consistency, consistency. Got some basketball players on this team.
3. Meade-May have the best senior player in the county in Jackson. She can shoot and drive. With Gates knocking down threes, and players that have been on the court ALOT getting ready for the season, they could be a contender in the county.
2. Old Mill-returning almost all of their team from last year, they continue to be the favorite in the north. The majority of their players played competitive ball in the spring, summer and fall. That is WORK being done. A lot of work. They got bigs, guards, and shooters. Their roster is deep with the Greens, Dailey, Alfi, Lee, Hawkins and Moses. Game planning and coaching will determine how far this team goes.
1. South River-Nothing flashy here, but hard work and teamwork carries this team far. Returning all but two of their roster, they have experience in big games. Their defense is TOUGH. Need to generate more buckets. Zivic makes good adjustments for opponents. Playing in a tougher south may benefit them in the long run.
