By RON SNYDER Staff Writer TOWSON - Archbishop Spalding's Will Bowers will trade one red and white jersey for another when he takes to the court next year for Gary Williams and the Maryland Terrapins. But before that, the 7-foot center and most of the Terps incoming class of 2007 gave their fans a sneak peek of what they can expect in College Park next season during yesterday's Marines Charm City Challenge at the Towson Center. Hassan Fofana (Hargrave Military Academy/ Chatham, Va.), Ekene Ibekwe (Carson High School/ Carson/Calif.) and D.J. Strawberry (Mater Dei High/ Santa Ana, Calif) will join Bowers next year. But, last night they were on opposing ends of the court as a team of Baltimore All-Stars, coached by Spalding's Mike Glick, took on a group of U.S. All-Stars. The Baltimore squad, which trailed 73-71 after three quarters, pulled away in the fourth, winning, 112-97 in a game attended by current Terps Ryan Randle, Nik Caner-Medley, John Glichrest and Chris McCray. Bowers and Annapolis guard and Polk Community College-bound Laronja Owens both saw significant playing time yesterday, but neither had a great impact on the game. Bowers struggled with his shot, missing all six of his attempts, finishing with three points and five rebounds. Owens finished with two points, four assists and two steals, including one off of Strawberry, which he converted into an assist in the second quarter. "I was forcing my shot early and knew it wasn't going to be my night so I was looking for ways to get others involved," Bowers said. Glick said he was proud the way Bowers rebounded and felt he would flourish under Williams' system. "Will is a pattern player who will do well in a system with set plays," he said. "This type of game is not the type a player like him will do well in." Although the U.S. All-Stars played the role of visitors, the fans made the newest Terps feel welcome, giving each a nice ovation during the opening introductions. Each of the three gave those in attendance an idea of what type of player each will be for Maryland. Strawberry' s highlights including a full-court pass for an assist and an array of baskets from dunks to jump shots, while Ibekwe displayed his ability to shoot beyond the 3-point arc and drive to the basket. Ibekwe finished with 18, while Strawberry had 12 points and five rebounds. "It means a lot for me to show the fans what I've got this week," Strawberry said. "It has also been a great week to get to know some of my new teammates. When I came to Maryland, it just felt like home to me and I felt that tonight." The 6-foot-9 Fofana displayed his physical side, dropping Bowers to the floor with a hard foul in the second quarter. He finished with seven points and five rebounds. "I don't know (Bowers) real well, yet," Fofana said. "I'm sure he'll sleep well tonight." Bowers said the play was just part of the game and knows it wasn't done intentionally. "Hassan is a real physical player and it will be interesting to face him everyday in practice," Bowers said. In the preliminary game, a group of local suburban high school stars trounced a team of Baltimore City players, 118-89. The Suburban All-Stars included Annapolis' Josh Johnson, Southern's Adrian Gross, who finished with six points and six rebounds, and Spalding's David Douglas (five points, three rebounds). Johnson finished the contest with six points and 10 rebounds despite having not practiced with the team all week. The 6-foot-6 senior officially signed to play at Polk Community College, most likely joining Owens in Florida next season. However, Johnson said that may change depending on his latest SAT scores. He said Wagner has expressed interest in the Panther senior. Johnson said wherever he ends up in the fall, he said it will be difficult knowing that yesterday will be the last time he will take the court as a high schooler. "It will be tough to be watching on the sidelines and wishing you are out there," he said. "But, I'm ready for the next level." Suburban Stars 118, City Stars 89 City (89) Frazier 9 2-3 20, C.
