Today's boys basketball state semifinals by the Baltimore Sun

Posted by Michael Glick on Mar 12 2008 at 05:00PM PDT
Gwynn Park (25-1) vs. No. 12 Winters Mill (19-6)
Time // 9 p.m.

Outlook // Led by 6-foot-5 guard Cammeron Woodyard, who has committed orally to Penn State, Winters Mill has been one of the metro area's hottest teams, winning 10 straight by an average of 23 points, including a 71-49 victory over Middletown in the Class 2A West title game. The Falcons, however, could be facing their toughest opponent all season in perennial Prince George's County power Gwynn Park, which is ranked No. 5 in the Washington area. The Yellow Jackets, who began the season with 22 straight wins, are led by the trio of 6-3 guard Sean Thomas (averaging 21 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists), 6-3 guard Harold Washington (19 points, 12 rebounds) and 6-5 forward Corey Anderson (15 points, 13 rebounds). Gwynn Park has won 10 state titles, though none since 1988, despite advancing to the final four times since 1999. Winters Mill, the Carroll County champion, returns to College Park for the second time in school history, after its semifinal loss in 2006. The Falcons are led by Woodyard (20.5 points per game), another future college player in 6-foot McDaniel recruit Devon Lesniak (14.6 points, five assists) and 6-7 forward Rashad Blackwell (8.1 rebounds).

The Sun's pick // Gwynn Park

2A champion pick // Randallstown
