Magruder Recovers In The Second Half, Tops Quince Orchard 59-48

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- At the outset of Friday night's Montgomery County showdown between Magruder and Quince Orchard, it looked like fans in the packed gym were in for a scrappy, low-scoring match-up. 

But in the second half, Magruder's offense rallied -- big time. The Colonels' aggressive passing around the key exhausted Cougar defenders in zone coverage and allowed Magruder to triumph, 59-48, over Quince Orchard.

"In the second half, I thought we moved the ball much quicker and that enabled us to get wide-open shots," said Colonels head coach Dan Harwood.

Senior guard Nick Griffin, a George Washington commit, carried the team with 24 points, half of which came from three-pointers. Senior forward Justin Witmer pitched in 20 points.

"Coach, he said, 'You can't hide on offense.' And when they were trapping us, everyone moved to the ball and that's how we got more open shots," said Griffin.

Help Find Missing Dog

Help Find Missing Dog

Madeline is about 45 lbs, red/tan coonhound mix about  22 inches high and about 5 years old (a little gray on her muzzle).  She is sleek and fast (kind of like a racehorse), has long legs and has short tan/red hair with a little white on her chest.  Unfortunately, she is afraid of humans so if seen, its important not to chase her. 

Ran away from the dog walker on 12/3/12 in Rockville, MD (near Montgomery College).  She was last (possibly) sighted in Kensington near the Marc Traing station.

Maddie is skittish so please don't chase - instead call 301-728-2771 immediately with location and direction she was heading in. Lost in the area of the Intersection of Astor Blvd and Nelson Drive Rockville, MD 20850, but some potential sightings in Kensington, MD.
