Roundup: No. 1 Aberdeen girls pound Joppatowne, 82-40

Thursday's much-anticipated girls basketball rematch between Aberdeen and host Joppatowne turned out to be a lopsided 82-40 win for the visiting Eagles, who stayed unbeaten in the Chesapeake Division of the Upper Chesapeake Bay Athletic Conference.

Aberdeen, 19-0, division champions at 10-0 and ranked No. 1, used its relentless full-court press to force the Mariners (16-4, 9-2) into numerous turnovers throughout the first half. The Eagles led 31-8 after one quarter, 45-21 at the half and 68-38 after three quarters.

Lakeia Hayden, with 13 points, was the only other Eagle to score in double figures, while Shakara Head was more than half of the Joppatowne offense, scoring 26.

No. 9 Glenelg 53, Marriotts Ridge 35: Emily Russo scored a game-high 22 points and Sam Heisig added 18 to power the visiting Gladiators (19-1) past the Mustangs.
