The Lady Cavaliers stay a perfect 6-0 in the IAAM A Conference with a convincing win over the Lady Panthers
Archbishop Spalding's girls basketball squad took control of its contest with visiting St. Frances Academy early, and was not seriously challenged the rest of the way, winning 55-29 on Jan.21. Leading the way for the Lady Cavaliers was Maggie Morrison with 12 points, while Sherae Swinson contributed 11 and Raven Makins added 10. The Lady Panthers opened the game with a determined 7-0 run, but with both teams playing aggressive defense and pressing the length of the court, the Lady Cavs quickly responded with a 16-0 first quarter run of their own, and then followed that with a 10-0 second quarter run that put Spalding firming in control. In the second quarter, St. Frances was held to only four points as the Lady Cavs built a 13-point …

Turnovers caused the Cavaliers to fall behind early, and despite several runs at the Gaels, Spalding was never able to catch up
Host Archbishop Spalding fell behind early to No. 6 Mount St. Joseph, but battled back to within five points before falling 69-59 on Jan. 13 in boys’ basketball. Erik Fisher led Spalding with 20 points, while Gregory Brown added 11 and Julian Washington contributed 10. The two teams exchanged baskets early, but a 13-0 Gaels’ run late in the first quarter provided Mount St. Joseph with a lead they would not surrender. The run was fueled by an aggressive Gael defense that created a number of steals against the Cavaliers’ guards as the ball was brought up court. “Our guards are young, and when someone gets close, they panic,” said Head Coach Derrick Lewis. Turnovers cost Spalding 16 points in the contest, more than the eventual margin of …

In a matchup of the metro area's two top girls basketball teams, the Cavaliers watch a 19 point lead disappear before pulling out the win
Shaquilla Curtis scored 16 and Brya Freeland added 15 as the Archbishop Spalding girls defeated visiting Seton Keough 63-58 in double overtime on Dec. 17. Spalding, ranked #1 in the Baltimore metro area and #25 nationally by USA Today, surrendered a 19 point second half lead before recovering to defeat the Gators. Seton Keough is currently the #2 ranked Baltimore metro team. The Cavaliers built an early lead behind Shaquilla Curtis' nine first half points and took a 34-18 advantage into the halftime break. Halfway through the third quarter, Spalding had stretched that lead to 37-18 and seemed on its way to an impressive victory. Rather than putting the game out of reach, however, the Cavaliers began to lose discipline with the ball. "We …

Archbishop Spalding defeated the visitors from Prince George's County, but made it more difficult than it should have been.
In a turnover-marred contest, the Archbishop Spalding boys basketball team defeated an undersized Queen Anne School, 68-50, Wednesday at home. Spalding played an aggressive style of basketball early in the game, employing a backcourt press and defensive pressure that would pay off handsomely, as the Lions committed over 30 turnovers in the game. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers gave the ball up over 20 times themselves, negating much of the advantage gained by their tenacious defense. Spalding also committed over 20 fouls, which allowed a Queen Anne side that only dressed seven players, to stay within striking distance until late in the 4th quarter. Erik Fisher led all Spalding scorers with 12 points, all coming from inside the paint as …

With three of its five starters headed to college for basketball, the Cavaliers have the experience and athleticism to go far in the upcoming season.
For the Archbishop Spalding Girls Varsity Basketball team (23-6 overall, 11-3 in conference in 2009-2010), there's a palpable sense of urgency. Having finished as runners up in the IAAM A Conference last season, followed by second place finishes in the Bishop Walsh and Best of Maryland tournaments, the Cavaliers have been silent witnesses to more than their share of on-court celebrations. With a quartet of fourth-year players returning for their climactic senior seasons, Spalding's players are now ready to do some net cutting of their own. The Cavaliers are led on the court by senior guard Maggie Morrison, whom Head Coach Bookie Rosemond called "the vocal leader of the team." Morrison has signed on to play at SEC power Vanderbilt next year…

An inside look into the upcoming Archbishop Spalding 2010/11 Varsity Boys Basketball season.
Teams attempting to rebound from disappointing seasons often look to add new players to their rosters. Archbishop Spalding boys' basketball went a bit further this year. It added almost an entire new program. Coming off last season's 6-16 campaign, the Cavaliers were able to take advantage of the closing of the Cardinal Gibbons School in a big way, adding 6-foot, 7-inch senior center Chris Kemp. They also snatched up senior power forward Erik Fisher, brothers Michael and Ryan Flynn, sons of Gibbons' celebrated basketball coach, the late Bob Flynn. Spalding Head Coach Derrick Lewis recognizes that bringing in the Gibbons players presents both an opportunity and a potential hurdle. "Our biggest challenge this year is getting these guys to …
