     Tuesday's game featured Marriotts Ridge defeating Century 8-4 for the Class 3A/2A title in a rematch of last year's state semifinal.  Wednesday's slate of games began with the 2A/1A championship game where Winters Mill prevailed over Loch Raven, 13-2 and ended with the 4A/3A title match featuring Severna Park toppling undefeated Westminster by a score of 14-7.  Marriotts Ridge also took home the tournament Sportmanship Award for demonstrating the best overall team and school sportsmanship throughout the tournament.

     The MPSSAA appreciates the hard work and flexibility of our schools and athletic departments in completing the region tournament on time in spite of an overabundance of rain. Everyone's spirit of cooperation allowed the State tournament to take place as scheduled and we thank you.  Thanks also go to our State Semifinal host sites, the school administrations, the athletic departments, and especially the athletic directors at Arundel HS, Annapolis HS, and Bel Air HS.  It also goes without saying how indebted we are to the athletic department at UMBC and their staff for the use of Retreiver Stadium to hold our event.  The level of cooperation that we receive is spectacular year after year and we look forward to returning again next year.  See you there in 2012!
