Q&A with Glenelg wide receiver Christian Chen
How did the high school football season go overall?
“Our season definitely didn't go the way we wanted to, but we had some good moments and I was proud of the things we accomplished.”

“I have high expectations for our team this coming season. We are returning almost every one of our starters and we have great chemistry.”

“I would say Omar from River Hill will be a tough guy for us. His play style is very simple, but in my opinion that is what makes it difficult to read him.”

Does anyone have information on how the youth games at the stadium went? This was great for the area as there are large groups staying in local hotels and eating at local restaurants.

Former FH standout joined Baltimore Lightning at cornerback

I’m excited as others in the area to see where Ty Johnson is going to end up playing football next year.

Mountain Ridge is playing in the State Championship game Saturday. Has any local girls team won a state championship. I am thinking Southern they had a couple good years.

Edmondson has a 6’10 Freshman and 6’8 Sophomore. BW should get on them 2. Hopefully someone will give updates of the game.

On the eve of perhaps biggest city basketball game in several years an interesting thought crossed my mind. Mikey was a bit of a local Dapper Dan legend with a baseball bat in his hand. Now with his commitment to football next fall, I was wondering if he finds himself in a batting cage this spring just for s--ts and giggles. Just some food for thought. It seems there is nothing this kid can't do. Can you say Bo Jackson. LOL

While I am a big Mikey Allen fan, and believe him to be very worthy, I also believe Tavin Willis was very deserving of this award as well. Maybe the best outcome would have been a tie, and the two longtime friends shared the award. I think we all agree that Puaauli is the unanimous POY
