As a writer I can only write about what is true. The truth is that Randallstown students were a little depressed after the close loss against Woodlawn. However, things changed after during the Lansdowne game, the seniors were honored by coaches Kevin English and Marc Stevens. After a blowout win against Lansdowne and after the cancelation of the Perry Hall game, the Rams players and their home crowd were anxious, back on their feet and ready to go against Poly.
Much like the Woodlawn game, this game was back and forth but this was a low scoring affair that was ruled by defense. Poly gave the Rams everything they could handle and the Rams kept battling back. Late in the 2nd quarter Poly went on a run that was led by their tough defense and size advantage. #23 Marcel Thompson led the way for the Parrots as they had a double digit lead at half-time.
The Rams came out of halftime like they were shot out of a cannon, Senior Trevor Atelefack led the Rams in the paint with numerous rebounds. Seniors Antony Granger and Dwayne Banks not only scored, the two talented players made excellent passes that helped to create open 3 point shots for the “Splash Bros” Brandon Brice and Sterling Hughes. Everything clicked for the Rams as they ended the 3rd quarter down….but with all the momentum.
In the 4th quarter the teams went back and forth, trading the lead multiple times in this low scoring affair. Poly relied heavily on Thompson to lead them to the win, Poly was able to make tough shots and get multiple stops on defense to walk out of Randallstown with a close 58-54 win.
