Football:
JV Football had a strong 2018 season finishing with an undefeated record.

The varsity football team also saw similar success with a record of 7-3, missing the playoffs by one game.

“We had a couple rough games; if we would’ve done a couple things differently, we could’ve ended up on top,” Jimmy Kells (’19) said. “[A highlight was] the homecoming game; it was unforgettable, and everyone had a blast.”

“It was a great to experience so much success in my senior year,” Aidan Brannigan (‘19) said. “Beating Eastern Tech was a highlight because they knocked us out of the playoffs last year and having our biggest supporter Liam Fanning come to our Owings Mills game, amidst his fight with cancer.”

“This has probably been the closest and best team we’ve had in a while,” Rachel Saunders (‘19) said. “When we came back and beat C Milton Wright in overtime 3-2 was a great time and also beating rival Eastern Tech in the beginning of the playoffs were some highlights.”

Allied Soccer:

The boys continued onto regionals where they placed first and later competed at states, where they placed ninth overall.

“The feeling of working hard as a team and improving throughout the season has been amazing,” Will Reider (‘19) said. “Seeing success reassures that all of our hard work paid off, [which was shown when] we scored really well in counties and regionals.”

Girls CC:

This was the fourth year in a row that the girls cross country team won states.

Field Hockey:
JV field hockey had a successful season this year, making it to the County Championship, but losing to Dulaney.

“Last year we didn’t get to counties so making it this year felt really good,” Erin Powell (‘21) said. “We came together more as a team this year, both on and off the field, and created a strong connection.”

The varsity team was also in great form, winning counties and regionals, but losing in states to Liberty High School 1-0.

“It feels great to succeed to much because every year we lose a lot of really good seniors and it always feels like we’re going to be the underdogs, but we always come out and impress the other teams,” Madison Hackett (‘19) said.

Volleyball:
The JV volleyball won the County Championship against rivals Dulaney.

“Most of the team thought that after we lost to Towson we weren’t going to counties, but we did go and had a great last game,” Emma Thompson (’22) said. “We won the first set; they won the second set, and in the third set we were down, but we came back to finish our pretty good season.”

Boys Golf:
The boys’ golf team this year had a great season, making it all the way to states as a team. In the two-day state competition only one golfer made it to the second day, being Justin Moreira (‘19).

Girls Golf:
The girls’ golf team won counties, advancing to regionals, but did not win. Although the team did not win regionals, Anna Lime (’19) and Martha Kaestner (’21) advanced to states as individuals.
