Girls Basketball: McNamara 56, Paul VI 48

In a back-and-forth contest, Bishop McNamara’s girls basketball team defeated Paul VI Catholic 56-48 on Friday during the Panthers’ annual “Think Pink Night” to raise ****** cancer awareness.

McNamara, who is in third place in the WCAC after winning the conference title last year, improved its conference record to 7-3, and overall record 10-6. The Panthers on the other hand, dropped to 13-8 on the year with a 6-5 in conference record.

The game started off very close with both teams able to force turnovers early on in the first quarter. The Mustangs, however, were able to step up and gain control of the game.

“We went in saying that we needed to be tough on the boards, and that is exactly what we did,” Bishop McNamara Coach Robert Surratt said. “I think it’s the reason we won the game.”

But even with McNamara in control, PVI was able to stick in the game and the first quarter finished with Bishop McNamara up just three points, 19-16.

At the beginning of the second quarter Bishop McNamara got hot and managed to work up an 11-point lead. But Paul VI was again able to fight its way back in and cut the lead to three points.

The Mustangs responded by finishing the quarter on a 10-0 run, ending the half with a score of 39-26.

The Panthers were not done yet. After the half they were once again able to cut the McNamara lead down, this time to five. But the Panthers were never unable to gain the lead.

“It was one possession,” Paul VI Coach Scott Allen said. “We would make a run and then things wouldn’t fall our way. But you got to give credit to our team for hanging tough all game. We got some momentum going we just couldn’t get over the hump with one shot.”

Coach Surratt, however, had a much different opinion on why the Mustangs were able to stave off the Paul VI comebacks.

“When they were able to cut those leads down I called the girls over and told them that we were going to get up early and run every day if they didn’t get their heads back in the game,’ Surratt said. “And both times they were able to regain control.”

In the fourth quarter, McNamara was once again able to dominate the boards and control the flow of the game.

“When the ball goes up in the air and it becomes a jumping contest, McNamara is going to get the ball,” Allen said. “They’re really athletic and tough and they push you out of the way. And if you become spectators, you have no shot of grabbing the rebound.”

The Mustangs were able to keep the Panthers at arm’s length for the rest of the night.

“We played very well,” Surratt said. “I’m real proud of the way our girls played tonight.”

For Ryan Out Loud! Blog 3

Posted on 21 January 2009 by .

FOR RYAN OUT LOUD!
Chapter 3: Jan. 21, 2009

For
all those who watched the Presidential Inauguration on television
Tuesday, if you saw that tiny speck of tan and blue on the National
Mall, that was me.

It was a long, tiring day, filled with miles
of walking in the wrong direction, in the right direction and in any
direction where I could move more than a couple inches.

But it was also an emotional day that I’ll treasure forever.

My
day started at around 6 a.m., which, by a sports reporters’ measure, is
insanely early. (When I cover a game at night I typically get to bed,
after writing the story and posting the photos and videos, by about 3
a.m.) Anyway it was early, but I was pumped to see President Barack
Obama.

List of things in my jacket pockets: 2 newspapers, 1
bottle of water, 3 sandwiches, 1 glasses case, 3 trash bags we hoped to
sit on…yeah right, 1 deck of cards, chap stick, keys, wallet, cell
phone, 2 cameras, tape recorder, extra batteries, gloves.

With
my amazing/beautiful wife Kristin and her father (and my second dad)
John were in our group. This was a day after the same three of us
attended the free Aretha Franklin
concert at the Kennedy Center, where we waited in line for six hours,
were denied tickets, then snuck in anyway.

On Tuesday, we drove
to the Silver Spring metro and got on without any problems. The ride
was just fine, but as soon as we stepped off at Gallery Place Chinatown
it was a mad house.

At that point, we thought there were a TON of people. That was nothing compared to what we found at the Mall.

Our
goal was to get to the Mall so we could simply be amongst the excited
people and watch the inaugural address on a big screen television. Yes,
I could have done that at home (and part of me wished I had when my
knees and feet were aching by the end of the day) but it’s just not the
same.

We convinced ourselves that we had to do it after hearing
Dad’s story about passing up a Louis Armstrong concert a year before
the legend’s death. He was living in Montana and, improbably, Louis
Armstrong came to play nearby. Dad knew who Louis was but elected not
to go, not because he had something else going on, but because he just
didn’t feel like it. It still eats him up inside (sorry to bring it up
again, Dad). So we couldn’t let him or ourselves pass this chance up.

Back
to the streets. After asking about five people for the best way to get
around road blockages and to the Mall, and getting five different
directions, we finally found the I believe 4th street tunnel under the
parade route. After what I have to estimate (based on my soreness
today) was a hmmmmmm 300-mile walk, we finally arrived at the Mall.

There
were people as far as the eye could see, not a patch of grass showing.
There were people in the trees and standing on top of porta potties.
After probably an hour of jockeying for position (that means moving
about 10 feet and taking some elbows, forearms and several Stone Cold
stunners) we made it to a spot where we could watch the jumbo tron and
hear the speakers.

The speeches and prayers (minus the poem)
were amazing and inspiring, but the crowd’s reaction, with the cheers
and tears was what I came for and what I will tell my children about.

Anybody,
those in the sports world included, had to recognize the magnitude of
what happened yesterday and it was an honor to be a bystander in
history.

OKAY, ONTO SPORTS

I admit, hockey is
one of the few sports I have never covered in my lifetime, which is
strange because I truly appreciate and enjoy the sport.

I got an
email from a Blake student, Jordan Klemko, last week asking if
DigitalSports.com could start covering Montgomery County hockey. Since
it’s not a sanctioned county varsity sport, I hadn’t really thought
about hockey to be honest.

But it’s a fantastic idea and I
immediately told him that I’d love to start. I look forward to covering
the DeMatha vs Gonzaga game next Monday and a couple other
DigitalSports.com writers have already been there. Click below to check
out the coverage.

Wootton vs. Whitman
Magruder vs. Northwest

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!

A
brief statement about how excited I am for tonight’s basketball game
that I’m covering. It’s WCAC top-dog DeMatha vs. defending conference
champion Gonzaga. There may not be any rivalry better in the entire
Washington region.

Game is at Gonzaga at 7:30 tonight. It’s going to be rocking. I’m going to be VERY pumped.

Stags Notes: DeMatha’s backcourt is deep and filthy sick nasty – that’s about as good as my compliments get.

Gonzaga
Notes: Tyler Thornton is edging his way into the BBMITWCAC Award.
That’s right, the Best Big Man In The WCAC Award. Thornton, a Princeton
recruit, outplayed Bishop McNamara’s Talib Zanna (Pittsburgh) last week
and has a chance to dominate inside against DeMatha’s Mikael Hopkins
and Chris Frank.

DeMatha is currently ranked No. 2 in the DigitalSports Beltway Ballers and Gonzaga is No. 3.

LASTLY, THE RAVENS

1.    Yes, my beloved Ravens lost in the AFC championship to the stinkin’ Steelers.
2.    Don’t bring it up.
3.    There’s always next year

Boys Basketball: DeMatha 68, McNamara 54

Posted on 16 January 2009 by .

By Ryan Mink
rmink@digitalsports.com

DeMatha freshman James Robinson and seldom-used junior forward Chris Frank never expected to be in the starting lineup this season. Not with a roster bubbling over with Division I talent and especially not against Bishop McNamara.
 
But with Tennessee recruit Josh Selby, Texas A&M signee Naji Hibbert and guard Quinn Cook – DeMatha’s top three scorers — sitting because of minor team infractions, Friday was their chance.

And in yet another testament to the depth and talent of this DeMatha team, Robinson and Frank were instrumental in leading the Stags over the Mustangs, 68-54, Friday night in DeMatha’s packed gym.

“We try to boast about how deep we are,” DeMatha Coach Mike Jones said. “Tonight we got a chance to show it, though obviously we don’t want to have something happen to force us to do that.”

Seven different Stags scored at least seven points but none had more than 10.

Robinson and Frank each scored 10 points, tied with senior Marcus Rouse for the team-high. It’s a season-high scoring mark for Frank. Junior guard Victor Oladipo, who sees far more minutes than both players but still comes off the bench, chipped in a crucial eight points.

“Last year I was sitting in the stands watching the games,” said the 14-year-old Robinson. “I never thought a year later they’d be announcing my name.”

Jones announced Friday’s starting lineup in the middle of practice Thursday to the shock of Robinson and Frank.

“I just figured we would go to a five-guard lineup,” said Frank, a 6-foot-9 junior. “When they called my name I figured it was my golden opportunity to try to shine.”

Frank tipped off opposite McNamara’s Pittsburgh recruit, Talib Zanna, who scored a game high 21 points. After DeMatha junior Jerian Grant hit a three-pointer to open the scoring, Frank poured in six straight points to consistently keep DeMatha ahead.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect,” Frank said. “I just wanted to go out there and try my best. If it went well, keep going. If not, hope for the best, I guess.”

DeMatha (13-1, 6-0) and McNamara (11-4, 5-2) played pretty much even throughout the first half. The Stags went into the locker room with just a two-point lead, which Zanna erased on the first possession of the second half.

But the Stags pulled away in the third quarter with the usual second-team seeing extensive time once again.

Robinson hit DeMatha’s first bucket of the half, which gave the Stags the lead for good as it would turn out. Rouse nailed a three-pointer, Grant hit a jumper and Oladipo made a steal and dunk that gave DeMatha a 39-31 lead and forced a Bishop McNamara timeout.

Zanna scored out of the timeout, but Oladipo responded with an offensive rebound and put back and Robinson hit another mid-range jumper to extend DeMatha’s lead to 11.

“James isn’t a freshman,” Oladipo said. “He might be a freshman in age, but he doesn’t play or look like a freshman.”

Jones has been trying to get more playing time for Robinson because his plus-minus ratio, which measures the net points scored or surrendered while a certain player is on the court, is off the charts, as Jones put it.

But while another scoring threat means more headaches for DeMatha’s opponents, it strangely enough may mean more commotion for Jones as well, especially heading into Wednesday’s game against defending champion Gonzaga.

“Everybody tries to act like it makes it so easy because you have all these guys,” Jones said. “I actually think it’s more difficult because you have so many guys that expect to get the ball and want to get the ball and want to play. I play psychologist as much as I play coach.”

FOR RYAN OUT LOUD!
Chapter 2: Jan. 15, 2009

Apologies to all you out there who **** wrestling because you think it’s a lewd to see boys rolling around in tights (stop being such a weirdo you people), but this blog is wrestling heavy because that’s the majority of the events I’ve been going to recently and because I think wrestling is awesome.

Last Friday I covered perhaps the coolest high school event I’ve ever attended. And not to toot my own horn here (warming up fingers, big breath in) but I’ve been to some pretty cool ones.

I covered a regular season wrestling dual meet between Gonzaga and St. John’s, BA-DA-DA-DAAA!!!

It certainly doesn’t sound like much, but this was seriously unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The meet began at I believe 1:30 in the afternoon, during Gonzaga’s final two school periods, meaning that every student at the school had the option of attending the match, DURING SCHOOL HOURS!

Down with homework! Up with headlocks!

There were about 650 students packed into the Gonzaga’s gym. With basketball standout Ian Hummer leading the charge, every takedown or even escape from being pinned (which really showed how knowledgeable these Gonzaga fans were) was treated like an alley-oop jam.

Pins were absolutely awesome and it literally gave me chills to see one of the Gonzaga wrestlers, who I later found out wasn’t really liked at his old school and didn’t have many friends, get his first career win (a pin) and flip out with hundreds of students going berserk for him.

Here’s the link to the story. Watch the first video (and others of course)

Gonzaga vs. St. John’s wrestling link

Three things I take from this are:
1)    Gonzaga students may just make up the top student base in the area along with DeMatha
2)    Props to Gonzaga wrestling Coach Milton Yates for making this “Midday Melee” happen and for having some sweet dreads and a cute kid
3)    I hope I see more of this down the road because it really does shed a good light on the sport. People just need to be exposed to it

Good Counsel and Paul VI did the same thing as well Wednesday afternoon but the Good Counsel student body just didn’t get into it as much as Gonzaga’s students did, which partly was because Paul VI played spoiler and won.

Here’s the link to that story.

Paul VI vs. Good Counsel wrestling link

CALEB PORZEL A WRESTLER?

Apparently Good Counsel running back and future Maryland (WOOT!) running back was a sick nasty middle school wrestler.

Malcolm Wilson helped coach Porzel, Andy Lowy and Josh Lowy  and Steven Gamble of Sherwood, Alex Tolbert and Joe Tolbert of Magruder and Carlo, Joe and Vincent Galeano of Springbrook among others on the Olney Outlaws middle school team. Adam Lowy and Kevin Murphy were the teams’ head coaches.

“Caleb was one of those ‘men among boys’ even back then,” Wilson said. “He would have been a monster wrestler in high school.”

Just picture Caleb Porzel focusing on wrestling instead of football. Weird.

Boys Basketball: Gonzaga 67, McNamara 41

Posted on 14 January 2009 by .

By Ryan Mink
rmink@digitalsports.com

Gonzaga’s guards played better than Bishop McNamara’s, the Eagle’s front court bested the Mustangs’, Gonzaga hits it’s shots and McNamara didn’t and the Mustangs got in foul trouble.

Add that all up and it’s a big time 67-41 victory for No. 4-ranked Gonzaga over No. 6 Bishop McNamara Tuesday night at Gonzaga.

“We played at the top of our game,” Gonzaga senior center Ian Hummer said. “To win by 26, that just shows what we can do.”

Hummer was a major reason for Gonzaga’s dominance. The Princeton-bound Hummer scored a game-high 17 points in a matchup with McNamara’s 6-foot-9 Pittsburgh-bound Talib Zanna, who got in early foul trouble and finished with just 11 points.

Zanna had the first laugh with a three-point stretch and pair of big blocks in the first quarter. But Hummer responded in the second quarter with a pair of buckets to open the quarter, including a back-door dunk on the second.

Hummer notched an and-one near the end of the quarter, then took a charge on Zanna with 39.2 seconds left in the second quarter that handed the McNamara big man his third foul. Gonzaga led 28-19 at halftime.

“To go against him is a real treat,” Hummer said of Zanna. “I’ve been looking forward to this game for basically a couple months now since he’s probably the best big man in our league.”

While Hummer took care of the heavy lifting in the paint, Gonzaga guards Cedrick Lindsay and Tyler Thornton took care of the outside work.

After scoring six points in the first quarter, Lindsay notched eight more in the second, including a pair of three-pointers.

“They just told me to just keep shooting the ball,” Lindsay said, before admitting that was as hot as his shooting gets.

“Cedrick is lights out,” Thornton said. “Anywhere on the court, you pick a spot and he can hit it.”

Thornton was held scoreless in the first half, but broke out in the third. He scored eight straight points during a 15-2 run that gave Gonzaga a 41-23 lead with three minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

Gonzaga outscored McNamara, 22-8, in the third quarter to pull away.

“This is a big win for us,” Thornton said. “We came in here into our home ready to play and ready to defend our home court.”

Gonzaga has now won six straight games, including four in the WCAC, and improved to 13-2. The Eagles only have a conference loss against O’Connell.

Bishop McNamara (11-3, 5-1), meanwhile, has suffered two straight losses. The Mustangs, who on Tuesday had to play through an injury to guard Rashad Whack (George Mason) and without Trask Ivey, fell to Atlantic Shores (N.J.) on Jan. 10 and have a big game at No. 2-ranked DeMatha on Friday.

For Ryan Out Loud: Blog 1

Posted on 07 January 2009 by .

FOR RYAN OUT LOUD!
Chapter 1: Jan. 7, 2009

So I just got back from a DigitalSports meeting and it’s been decided that we’re all writing weekly blogs.

I’m excited about it personally because I have tons of useless stuff to talk about and never an audience willing to listen.

I’m terrible at coming up with names for stuff (fantasy teams, my dog, my future children…) so one of my co-workers, The Great Dan Sousa, came up with “For Ryan Out Loud!”

It’s the perfect name because:
A)    It includes my name, a staple of any blog title
B)    I always enjoy a good rant
C)    It’s a play off the unfortunately accurate nickname my mean older brother gave me as a child — Cryin’ Ryan

So I’m sticking with it until I get tired of it a couple months from now.

What I plan on doing is talking about all the funny little things that happen when I go out to cover games or write features or whatever and use it as a forum to highlight small stories that don’t otherwise get published.

I’ll of course drone on about what it’s like being a reporter (which basically comes down to who has the best hot dogs at the concession stands) and any other mindless detail that pops into my day.

Lastly, I’ll talk about games I covered, what team looks good, what player is NAAASTY (my favorite description if you haven’t paid attention to my video captions) and so on. Of course, funny pictures and videos will come along as well.

So, anyway, I hope you all enjoy!

If you have any comments, concerns or questions, please contact Montgomery County and WCAC Content Manager Ryan Mink at rmink@digitalsports.com

Boys Basketball: McNamara 58, Good Counsel 44

Posted on 06 January 2009 by .

By Ryan Mink
rmink@digitalsports.com

Bishop McNamara boys basketball Coach Marty Keithline doesn’t typically concern himself with revenge themes or anything like that, he said. But he couldn’t help but hear his players talk about getting back at Good Counsel for the whooping the Falcons put on them in Olney last year.

So just before Tuesday night’s game at Good Counsel, Keithline put in big letters on the locker room whiteboard, “It’s not going to happen again.”

McNamara sure got its justice as it went up early never trailed the Falcons in a 58-44 win that shows just how much the Mustangs have improved from last season and how big a player they will be the remainder of this year.

“Last year when we came up here, they put it to us,” senior guard Trask Ivey said. “We came out with that mindset that we wouldn’t let them embarrass us like that.”

Making last year’s loss even more memorable, and upsetting for the Mustangs, was that it was broadcasted as the Game of the Week on television. McNamara just didn’t play well and ended up losing by 15 points.

“We still remembered it, still had it on our minds,” said George Mason-bound senior guard Rashad Whack, who scored 13 points. “We’re a new McNamara.”

The nationally-ranked Mustangs (10-1, 4-0 WCAC) had already proven itself in many ways this season. McNamara rattled off eight straight wins to start the season, including a victory against Paul VI, before dropping a 12 point lead against Christ the King (N.Y.) in the finals of the Bojangles Shootout in Charlotte.

A win over Good Counsel (10-4, 1-3), however, is the first statement in what will be a trying stretch for the Mustangs. Next week they face Gonzaga, DeMatha and O’Connell.

“We’re trying to come out and show the league we’re serious this year,” Whack said. “People always think we’re the underdogs because we always go to the playoffs and lose in the first round. This year’s going to be a change. We’re making a statement.”

McNamara made a statement early on against good Counsel. The Mustangs jumped out to a 9-2 lead after a Whack jumper on an assist from Pittsburgh-bound center Talib Zanna, who finished with a team-high 14 points.

The Mustangs locked down on defense and surrendered just four points in the first quarter and 11 in the second quarter to take a 29-15 halftime lead.

“We came and put our foot on their throat,” Ivey said.

McNamara got scoring from everywhere as Zanna did well passing out of the double-team. Ivey had eight points, Ryan Washington notched six and Brendan Bazilio chipped in six.

Good Counsel, who was led by 16 points by senior Ricardo Gaddy, had trouble creating good shots or hitting them when they arose. The Falcons didn’t attack the basket very well and committed 12 turnovers in the first half.

“They were much more aggressive, offensively, defensively; we were back on our heels,” Good Counsel Coach Mike Hibbs said. “They’re a very good team, there’s no doubt about that.”
