Bozeman, Nickelberry Among Those at P.G. Title Game
Plenty of college coaches at last night's Prince George's County championship game to see fourth-ranked Laurel beat fifth-ranked Gwynn Park, 57-50. And plenty of players for them to see. Laurel center Will Alston had 18 points and six rebounds. Gwynn Park guard Harold Washington had 23 points and backcourt mate Sean Thomas added 10. All three are likely mid-level Division I players. Washington had perhaps the most impressive night, continually attacking the basket and showing an ability to get to the rim.
I didn't get a chance to take roll, but spotted after the game were Morgan State Coach Todd Bozeman and Hampton Coach Kevin Nickelberry, both of whom know the area as well as anyone. VMI and Mount St. Mary's also had coaches at the game. Nickelberry, of course, knows Laurel Coach Keith Coutreyer and Gwynn Park Coach Mike Glick from their time together at Columbia Union College in the early 1990s.
Also, spoke to Northwestern Coach Gerald Moore earlier this week, who said that Temple Coach Fran Dunphy is expected to attend the Wildcats' playoff game Saturday night at Bladensburg to scout forward Terrence Burke.

Good Thing Sutton Got Off to Good Start
Plenty of college coaches in attendance last night at Largo. Seton Hall Coach Bobby Gonzalez and assistants, Loyola Coach Jimmy Patsos, Maryland assistant Keith Booth and some folks from Boston College. But it was a quick night for the main attraction as Largo 6-11 center Maurice Sutton was ejected in the first quarter for throwing a punch. Sutton had been off to a great start and Largo Coach Lewis Howard said Sutton got caught retaliating. Regardless, never a good situation when a potential recruit can't make it through a full game for the coaches in the gym that night. That said, all indications are that Sutton once again proved his ability. Loyola's main interest is believed to be Gwynn Park guard Harold Washington, who scored a game-high 24 points in the 75-63 victory.
