Seven BCPS field hockey teams are fighting to advance in their regional championships, including three games between two Baltimore County teams.

With field hockey regional brackets consisting of just four available seeds, each advancing team has played no more than one game.

They’ll face second-ranked Pikesville who won 7-5 over Carver at home in the first round.

Towson has done it! For the first time in almost 60 years, the Generals’ football team finished the regular season undefeated. Senior running back Omari Rowell rushed for two touchdowns in the team’s 15-0 shutout win over No. 7 Sparrows Point, securing the perfect record in just the second year of the Will Thompson era at Towson.
