THE REST OF THE STORY
• Harry Johnson hit a pair of shots around a Jahdel Darego (Montgomery Village, Md./Gaithersburg) layup for a 4-2 edge just 1:20 into the game. Haverford extended its run to 8-0 to take a 10-2 lead with 15:31 showing. The advantage swelled to 12 just 2:34 later on a Brandon Banadda layup. Layups from David Smoot III (Baltimore, Md./Baltimore City College) and Dragan Hornatko (Baltimore, Md./Glenelg Country Day School) 20 seconds apart closed the deficit to 20-10 with 9:49 on the clock but a 9-2 Fords countered pushed the lead to 17 with 7:33 remaining. McDaniel closed to within 31-20 on a Carter Truby (Sykesville, Md./Century) jumper with 4:38 on the clock but Haverford tallied the next nine and 10 of the final 14 to take a 41-24 lead into the break.
• The Fords maintained a second-half lead between 19 and 22 points until Banadda was fouled on a 3-point attempt and drained all three free throws to put the hosts in front 63-39 with 6:44 to play for the largest lead of the game.
