For a basketball team not returning a ton of experience from last season, Severna Park’s boys are building something promising.
Behind steady guard play from Garrett Moden and Charlie Hartman, and the slashing post presence of Keaghan Gorski, the Falcons are utilizing their patient Princeton-style offense to great effect as they garner valuable experience to get where they want to go.
Severna Park’s recent six-game win streak put the Falcons squarely on the right path to build a postseason platform. That streak only ended January 10 at the hands of Annapolis, where the Falcons led by seven at half but ultimately lost in overtime 51-47.
Gorski scored 12 points in the loss, while Hartman added 10 and Moden scored seven. The Falcons led 30-23 at halftime, and they had opportunities to close the game out late but couldn’t get a shot to fall. They got one basket in overtime, a 3-pointer from sophomore John Batty.
That loss, bookended with the season-opening loss to Broadneck, marked the only two losses for Severna Park as of January 12. They beat Crofton 52-38, Westlake 52-36, and Green Street Academy 50-35. After the holiday break, they routed Chesapeake Science Point 70-16.
The Falcons have scored two team-building ventures this season already: they won their home Winter Jam, going 2-0 over the holiday break, and they spent the weekend of January 11-12 in New York City watching St. John’s take on Villanova at Madison Square Garden.
Severna Park nears the midway point of the season with a full schedule coming. They played Meade on January 13, Southern the next day, and will face South River on January 17 — all of those games at home.
