Dulaney looks sharp as it defeats Towson in football
On the first day of spring, Dulaney’s offense ran like a well-oiled machine on a crisp October day and the defense was just as finely tuned as the Lions rolled to a 32-16 football victory over host Towson on Saturday afternoon.
Dulaney senior quarterback Kyree Fox threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in the first half. Running back Isaiah McCamie (11 carries, 80 yards) ran for a touchdown in the second half to complete the scoring for the Lions (1-1).
Towson (0-2) scored a touchdown in each half. The first came after Dulaney’s Tristin Forby intercepted a ball on the Lions 3-yard line, but he fumbled when he was tackled by Diquann Baker and Baker recovered in the end zone.
A two-point conversion run by quarterback Kaiyu’ Wheeler cut Dulaney’s lead to 19-8 with 55 second left until intermission and appeared to give the Generals some momentum.
But, two plays later Fox connected on an 85-yard touchdown pass down the sideline to Jonathan Thompson and the lead was 25-8 with 30 seconds left in the half.
“We gave up that play before half and that killed us,” Towson coach Kelly Brant said.
Fox had already thrown two touchdown passes to Thompson, one for 42 yards on the
Lions’ second offensive play and another on 12-yard pass with 4:13 left in the first half.
“I definitely have confidence in my receivers,” Fox said. “I feel like as a whole, my team can get it done over any team as long as we can block up front.”

Owings MIlls 44, Pikesville 0: Five touchdowns. Two players. It was just the right kind of day for Amari N’namdi-Hall and James Jones to propel Owings Mills.
N’namdi-Hall scored his first touchdown on the defensive end with a pick-six with 3 minutes, 19 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Jones followed with a 53-yard touchdown run on the opening play of the second quarter. N’namdi-Hall then scored his second touchdown on a 5-yard reception from Kavon Harris with 6:46 left.
“It felt great to get a touchdown on both ends because of the energy boost it gave the team,” N’namdi-Hall said. “We were playing flat and that play gave us the momentum we needed to continue to victory.”
“Every week is different and the big thing is to keep the kids focused,” Owings Mills coach Travis Hall said. “That was the big thing — we came out slow. It’s just getting them refocused and coaching up the young guys and trying to get something out of this for them.”
