| SMAC Basketball Dominates State Semis |
The Southern Maryland Athletic Conference has a conference-record five basketball teams competing in
the state semifinals, and four of them are from Charles County. SMAC boys and girls teams have won a
combined 10 state titles dating back to the formation of the conference in the 1950's - this year they could
win 5.
On the boys side defending state champion North Point (Class 4A) and Thomas Stone (3A) represent the
conference. The Eagles are making the school's second state tournament appearance while the Cougars
return to the state semifinals for the fourth time in five years. Thomas Stone is making its 8th tournament
appearance, second among SMAC teams to Lackey's 10 appearances. The last time two SMAC boys
teams were in the state tournament at the same time was 1989 when Calvert and Northern both lost in the
semifinals.
The girls teams are led by 2011 state champion Calvert (2A) making its third appearance. Westlake (3A)
is back in the state semifinals for a SMAC girls record fifth time, the first time since 2005. North Point (4A)
is making its second consecutive trip to the semis. The Wolverines and Eagles look to become the first
Charles County girls state champions since La Plata won in 1987. The Warriors also won the title in 1977.
No other Charles County team has won a girls championship.
This marks the third time more than one conference girls team has appeared in the tournament in the
same year but it's the first time, for boys or girls teams, that three teams have qualified. Previous multiple
state appearances were in 2011 (Calvert, North Point) and 1980 (Great Mills and Leonardtown).
Why isn't the Game of the Week covering any of these games? The state charges a fee to broadcast
playoff games and we don't have a sponsor. As much as we'd like to cover these games, we can't afford
to lose money.
