Three schools to battle for two county titles

Wise, Flowers and Gwynn Park square off for Prince George’s basketball championship

 In the second game, the Charles H. Flowers and Gwynn Park boys teams meet.

Gwynn Park (17-5) shared the County 3A/2A/1A League title with Largo, but won a coin flip to advance to this game. Flowers (16-4) is the County 4A League champion.

Junior Brandon Green leads the Jaguars with 13.6 points per game. Flowers has won 12 of its past 13 games.

Jalen Harris leads the Yellow Jackets with 14.7 points per game. Gwynn Park has won 13 of its past 14 games.

2A South

No. 1 seed Gwynn Park (17-5) and No. 2 seed Largo (18-4) both earned first-round byes. They Prince George's County 3A/2A/1A League rivals split their two regular season games against each other and shared the league title.

Gwynn Park is scheduled to play Prince George's 4A League champion Flowers on Wednesday in the county championship game at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Henry A. Wise High in Upper Marlboro as a tune-up for the playoffs.

“That's our singular goal right now,” said Glick, whose team earned a berth in the county title game ahead of Largo on a coin flip. “We'll worry about the state playoffs on Thursday.”

Glick said his top goal each season is to secure the No. 1 seed, and the luxury of a home game would boost Gwynn Park if it has a rubber match with Largo in the region final.

“We'll focus on Largo if we get there,” Glick said.

Central (11-9) is scheduled to play Calvert in the first round.
