Despite losing leading scorer Harley McKee to a torn ACL and having to rely on the entire roster to pick up the slack and embrace bigger roles, South Carroll girls basketball coach Ryan Hutchinson still preached the same message to his team night in and night out.

Even with county-leading Francis Scott Key coming to town, the mindset and philosophy of the Cavaliers never waned: Play hard, scrappy defense and use that momentum to lead to production on the offensive end.

Hutchinson’s squad stayed strong and stayed consistent Thursday as the Cavaliers smothered the Eagles all night for the hard-fought 42-34 win.

URBANA — Bus rides to games for the Linganore High girls basketball team are rather solemn affairs.

There is no talking, as coach Rachael Easterday prefers her players to sit quietly and focus on the game they are about to play and their assignments in it.

This is a long-standing policy of Easterday’s that has been relaxed here and there over time. But, just recently, it was snapped back into place after the Lancers lost a 10-point lead in the final two minutes of a loss to Class 3A West regional nemesis Oakdale and a 17-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter in a loss to Frederick High.

They may not share all that much in common, at least on the surface. But the things they do share are important.

For starters, they both hail from the 667-square-mile plot of Earth known as Frederick County, Maryland (pop. 271,717).

And that lends some degree of significance to the next most prominent thing that they share, which is their professions, as they both play in the National Football League.

And they aren’t some NFL also-rans. They both fill important roles for their teams, Linganore High graduate Rob Havenstein, the well-respected 10-year veteran who starts at right tackle on the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line, and Tuscarora High graduate Jordan Addison, the artistic route runner at wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings and one of the fastest rising young talents in the league as a second-year pro.

On Monday night, Havenstein (6-foot-8, 323 pounds) and Addison (5-foot-11, 180 pounds) will once again share the same field, a high-profile stage at that, when the Rams (10-7) host the Vikings (14-3) in a NFC wild-card playoff game at 8 o’clock on ABC/ESPN.
