Broadneck wins bracket title at Ravens 7-on-7; River Hill falls on final play
by Derek Toney
Nearly a month after being postponed by rain, the Ravens 7-on-7 Passing Jamboree session at St. Paul’s School took place under flawless conditions Saturday in Brooklandville.
Broadneck High was the last team standing in the Purple bracket, defeating Woodlawn, 6-1, in the final. The Bruins edged western Maryland powerhouse Fort Hill, 5-4, in the semifinals.
Broadneck coach Rob Harris said Saturday was a positive sign heading into next month’s preseason preparations.
“We got a lot of kids back on offense and mostly new kids on defense,” said Broadneck coach Rob Harris, whose team won the Anne Arundel County title last fall before losing to southern Maryland’s North Point in the East Region final. “It’s good to get out here, get better and improve. It’s not real football, but a win’s a win.”
River Hill reached the Black bracket championship, but was denied by Montgomery County’s Northwest. The Howard County squad was unable to score on the game’s final possession.
St. Paul’s, which lost to Woodlawn in the Purple bracket semifinal, rebounded against Fort Hill to place third. Franklin defeated Edgewood for third-place in the Black bracket.
