All season long the Baltimore locals questioned whether the Edmonson Red Storm belonged in the conversation with the elite teams of the city and each week they proved that they did. Yesterday was no different, as the Red Storm withstood a furious rally from a heavy hearted Justin Jackson to hold on to a 66-62 victory. The win moves Edmonson into Saturdays rematch against City College, who handed the Red Storm one of their two losses on the season, in the regional final of the MPSSAA tournament. The winner of that contest moves onto the 2A state semifinals at the Comcast Center on March 12th.

In the first matchup between Baltimore City rivals Lake Clifton and City College, Laker star guard Josh Selby completely dominated, scoring 41 points in a 69-61 Lake victory. This time around the City defense had a statement to make.

The Edmonson Red Storm showed that five guys are still better than one superstar, but just barely. Josh Selby, the star guard for the Lake Clifton Lakers, almost single handedly carried his team to it's 3rd consecutive City championship, but his 3 point attempt at the buzzer rolled out and the Red Storm held on for the 58-56 victory in overtime to capture their first ever city title. Selby finished with 45 points and 7 rebounds, but also committed 7 turnovers.

Milford Mill and Digital Harbor meet up in the Basketball Academy showcase. Milford Mill is led by Anthony "Nemo" Goode, Jimmy Hamilton, Tevin Hanner, Isiah McCray, and Demetrius Johnson.

In front of a jam packed, highly energized crowd on the campus of Lake Clifton High School, senior Laker Josh Selby put on a show for the ages, scoring 41 points, as #10 Lake Clifton defeated the #3 ranked Knights of City College 69-61. Selby scored from everywhere and from every angle on the court, hitting three's, fadeaway jumpers and putting on a slam dunk clinic. He also added 5 assissts, 4 rebounds and 6 steals as the Lakers never trailed in this matchup of top contenders for the City championship.

Still trying to get over all the unbelievable action from last night's games, easily the best night of local hoops I've seen in a long, long time. In today's action I was only able to catch the last 4 games so that's all you're going to get here. Here goes!

Douglass 54 Lansdowne 44

Lansdowne led pretty much the whole game until they hit a 7 minute scoreless streak to start the 4th quarter and Douglass scored more points in the 4th quarter(23) than they did in the entire 1st half(14), in their 10 point victory.

Unfortunately I was not able to attend day 1 at the 14th Annual Basketball Academy played at Morgan State where Mervo defeated Randallstown, Dunbar beat Woodlawn and parkville edged Douglass, but I was lucky enough to be there for day 2, and thank god for that! Here is a recap of todays games at Morgan.
