September Sports Update

School is back in session, and with it comes another year of high school athletics.

The fall season is off to a promising start for many of the teams at Broadneck and Severna Park high schools. Currently undefeated teams include the volleyball team at Broadneck and the girls soccer and field hockey teams at Severna Park.

The Bruins outlasted Severna Park for their most recent victory, winning a back-and-forth rivalry battle in five sets, 20-25, 25-16, 25-8, 19-25, 15-11 on Tuesday. That goes with their wins already this season over Crofton and St. John’s.

That was the latest of three rivalry games that have taken place this season. The two schools’ soccer teams tussled on September 9 at Broadneck, with the Falcons taking victory in both games. The boys edged past the Bruins 2-1 in overtime, while the girls cruised to a comfortable 4-0 win.

Those losses were the only ones on the season so far for either Broadneck team. The Bruin boys are 3-1 on the year, having beaten Mount Hebron 4-1, Chesapeake Science Point 7-3, and Meade 5-0. The girls are 2-1 with a pair of shutout wins over Chesapeake Science Point (9-0) and Meade (8-0).

Severna Park’s boys beat North East 6-0 and Severn Run 5-0, but they were clipped by Chesapeake 4-0 for their only loss of the season so far. The girls are unbeaten, having beaten Severn School 3-0, Severn Run 4-0 and Chesapeake 3-1.

The Falcons field hockey team is 3-0 on the season, with wins over South River (4-1), Chesapeake (1-0) and River Hill (7-0). On the Broadneck side, the Bruins are 2-2, having beaten Southern 6-0 and Patuxent 7-1 but losing 4-3 to Liberty and 6-0 to Glenelg. The Bruins host Crofton tonight.

Severna Park’s volleyball team is winless on the season at 0-3, but they have played three of the most difficult matches on their schedule: Annapolis Area Christian, Severn Run, and Broadneck.

Both football teams are still looking for their first victory of the season. After falling to St. Mary’s and Milford Mill, Broadneck hosts Arundel for homecoming this week. Severna Park, which fell to Boys Latin and Northeast, welcomes Crofton.
