Whenever it looked as though Mount Hebron would string together defensive stops, the reigning first-team All-Howard County forward grabbed offensive rebounds and converted almost all of his putbacks to ensure the Gators (6-3) maintained a comfortable advantage. — Kyle Stackpole, Baltimore Sun Media Group
