They've taken losses to a couple of strong teams but have bounced back well each time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Severn School will be their toughest matchup to date, and they always present a strong defensive front with a steady offense. They look to get the ball into their playmakers'/scorers' hands often, which makes for a pretty efficient offense throughout the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>SMCA has a nice variety of players on their roster. Loaded with athleticism and upside this year, the Mustangs look to be the favorite to come out on top of their MISAL conference after coming up short this season. This game will be their early-season test of strength.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PG County Looking to Make A Statement</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bowie, Gwynn Park, Wise, and Douglass will head into Waldorf this weekend with only a game or two under their belts, so this showcase could be a chance to make their coming-out-party heard out in their competitive county.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perhaps the most anticipated team, the Wise Pumas will go head-to-head with a deep Mt. Zion Prep team who will be ready to go (6:30 PM). The matchups in this one will be interesting, headed by [player_tooltip player_id='2528359' first='Dion' last='Walker'] as he will be earning his worth at the next level by his production this season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The star backcourt combo of [player_tooltip player_id='2548898' first='Dwight' last='Strickland'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2494248' first='Abdul' last='Tarawally'] will be entertaining to watch in the early portion of the day (2 PM). They will make the trip down feeling good about their chances behind the ability of their guard tandem and strong summer of team play. Will be nice to see how the young guards get it done in their second season together.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
