Baltimore County High School Football Friday Preview (courtesy of digitalsports.com)


Randallstown (5-0) vs. Eastern Tech (5-0)
Time:
7 p.m. Friday at CCBC-Essex
Outlook: The Mavericks (1-0 league) enter this 3A-2A League contest after having perhaps their best game of the season in last week's 52-8, non-divisional rout of New Town, a team Randallstown edged, 14-6.

RB Darian Conners led all rushers with 80 yards and had two TDs, one of them being on a 10-yard pass from QB Travis Crane, who also ran for one score and threw for a 1-yard scoring strike to TE Ryan Schlothauer.

RB Thomas Edwards and RB Rodney King also scored TDs last week for the Mavericks, who have out-scored their opponents by a combined, 203-29, and their four county opponents by 188-18, including a 42-0 shutout of Pikesville.

Last week, the Mavericks totaled 306 yards of offense, and they have 1,283 offensive yards for the season.

Schlothauer also leads a defense that includes LB Devin Hardy and LB Bryan Watson, and the three combined for 19 tackles last week. Schlothauer had his third and fourth sacks of the year and also forced a fumble.

Hardy also recovered a fumble. Crane returned an INT 30 yards for a TD.

The Rams (2-0 league) are coming off last week's 41-7 non-divisional rout of Pikesville, during which QB Tashaun Perry ran for scores of 4 and 56 yards and threw a TD pass to WR Derrick Fickling.

In that game, RB Darique Taylor ran for a TD, made eight tackles and had three INTs, and both RB Wesley Bennett (game-high 123 yards) and RB Lamarr Nichols ran for TDs.

Byran Eaton made 12 tackles for the Rams.

Over the past three seasons, the Mavericks won, 7-6, in 2004, and, 35-14, last year, with the Rams winning, 14-7, in 2005.

The Mavericks have won 11 of their past 13 games against county rivals, including the past five.

Only Hereford has beaten the Mavericks during that time, winning last year's regular-season finale, and last year's Class 2A North Region semifinal.

The Mavericks also have beaten Calvert Hall of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association's A Conference.


Parkville (5-0) at No. 18 Hereford (5-0)
Time:
7 p.m.
Outlook: Since the arrival of fourth-year coach, John Marquette, the visiting Knights have reached the playoffs for the first, second and third time in school history, going, 6-5, 9-2, and, 8-3, in the process.

This year's Knights, who, like the homestanding Bulls, are 4-0 in Baltimore County's 4A-3A, have out-scored their opponents by a combined, 148-9, with three shutouts.

QB Asa Laboo has passed for five TDs and rushed for another. RB Ian Sadan, whom Bulls' coach, Steve Turnbaugh, called, "the most dangerous back we've seen this year," has scored 10 TDs.

RB Tai Ji Glenn-Akles has two rushing scores. WR Josh Moore has three receiving TDs as part
of a balanced offense.

Defensively, the Knights' Sadan, Mujib Muhammad, LB Andrew Ewers, Terell Fields, and Montez Mayo-Smith lead the way.

Fields has intercepted at least two passes; Justin Randolph and Joe Ross are adept at recovering fumbles.

Ewers, a 6-2, 215-pound DT who is a native of Jamaica, never played football before enrolling at Parkville as a freshman.

Marquette and his Knights are 21-3 when his daughter, Abby, 2, is in attendance.
The Bulls are coming off last week's 46-19 rout of Franklin, during which RB Hassani Cromwell rushed for 154 yards and three TDs; RB Lonnie Liggins covered 145 yards for two more scores; and QB Tyler Brown ran for 104 yards and another TD.

The Bulls got a 5-yard scoring run from Jason Fisher, and have out-scored their rivals by a combined, 232-70, including a 64-8 rout of a Catonsville squad the Knights edged, 13-3.

In a close game, each team has a quality kicker: The Bulls have Adam Yates, and the Knights, Mike Gagne.
Hereford QB Tyler Brown (above) engineers a Wing-T offense which has keyed the Bulls' out-scoring their opposition by a combined, 232-70, including a 64-8 rout of a Catonsville team Parkville edged, 13-3. Hereford plays host to Parkville on Friday night in a battle of unbeaten Baltimore County 4A-3A teams.
  

Turnbaugh is 128-21 over 13 seasons at Hereford, having won the Class 1A state title in 1997, the Class 2A crowns in 2001 and 2002, and eight county 2A-1A League championships before Hereford was reclassified as a 3A school this year based on enrollment.

The Bulls defeated three-time defending county 4A-3A league champ, Perry Hall, 28-25, two weeks ago, ending a two-game losing streak against the Gators.
