The Havre de Grace and Harford Tech boys basketball teams had successful holiday breaks with each winning a division of Green-N-Gold Holiday Tournament at Cecil College in North East. Other Harford County teams were also in holiday tournaments over the past week.
In the Cecil tournament, Havre de Grace won the Gold Division and Tech won the Green Division, though Tech's was the more improbable victory.

Almost unbelievably, Tech rallied feverishly in the second half to win, 60-58. Darius Dangerfield had 22 points, eight steals and five assists for Tech. Fred Gordon scored 15 and grabbed eight rebounds. Freshman guard Dashawn Lucas scored 10.
The next day, Tech beat Bo Manor, 62-57, for the championship. Gordon scored 23 and had seven rebounds. Dangerfield had 13 points, five steals and 10 assists.
