Jalen Dangerfield scored six points in that span. The Elks responded thanks to three big plays by Marquis Battle. He saved an Elkton possession by throwing the ball off a Tech player as he was sprawling out of bounds. Triplett drained a three-pointer to narrow the gap to 66-65 with 1:17 left. Battle then fed Ryan Thompson for a layup to give the hosts a 67-66 edge. Finally, Battle scored on a putback to pad the Elks lead to 69-66 with 57 seconds to play. The Elkton girls basketball team nipped Harford Tech 47-45 in the second round of the region tournament Tuesday, February 27.

Special to The Herald Charlie Givens' long awaited homecoming game ended with a convincing 83-50 victory for his Elkton basketball squad on Friday night. Courtney Hardy's career game helped the Elkton girls basketball team top Tome 61-47 Wednesday afternoon, January 3. Hardy poured in 32 points to power the Elks to the victory. It is the most points Hardy has scored at any level, surpassing her previous best of 24 in an AAU contest. She knew early it was going to be a big night. "I really started off the game on a hot streak," Hardy said. "I started out with a bunch of points and once I start scoring I get my energy up and then I try to keep scoring. Usually I don't score until the second quarter and start off slow but when I started scoring at the very beginning of the first quarter I try to keep going." |
