Staff WritersThe Prince George’s County championship game is suppose to decide who’s the best boys basketball team in Prince George’s County. But the answer to that question may not be known until Saturday, if ever.

Gwynn Park defeated Charles H. Flowers in the county title game on Feb. 22. But Largo — which split the County 3A/2A/1A League title and two regular-season games with Gwynn Park but lost a coin toss to determine the league representative in the title game — could make a case.

Did Gwynn Park’s 57-51 win against Flowers prove it was the county’s top team?

“No, no,” Gwynn Park coach Michael Glick said emphatically. “I think that Largo could’ve very, very easily been right here and done the same exact thing.”

Largo, in fact, was at the contest and introduced as a league co-champion before Gwynn Park and Flowers were introduced.

“I really have no feeling toward it one way or the other,” Largo coach Lew Howard said. “If the coin toss had went the other way, we’d be playing in the game and would have prepared for them. It wasn’t. It’s no big deal. Our ultimate goal is to compete in the regional tournament and to hopefully to represent Prince George’s County at the Maryland state playoffs.”

Provided they both win Thursday’s region semifinal games, Gwynn Park and Largo could meet for the 2A South Region championship on Saturday. Then, fans might really know which was the best team in the county this year.
