Sam Heisig scored 17 points and Danielle Burris added 13 as No. 9 Glenelg beat visiting River Hill, 47-39, Thursday to claim sole possession of the Howard County title for the second year in a row. Had River Hill won, the two would have shared the title.
"It was there for the taking," River Hill coach Teresa Waters said.
Missed free throws doomed the Hawks, who hit seven of 18 as Glenelg made 16 of 22.
As Howard County champion, Glenelg will face Meade, the Anne Arundel County champion, in the District V title game Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Oakland Mills.
No. 1 Aberdeen 71, Harford Tech 27: The Eagles celebrated Senior Night with another win to improve to 21-0. Aberdeen has two regular-season games left: Tuesday at Riverdale Baptist and Wednesday at North East in the Harford County Championship vs. C. Milton Wright at 5:15 p.m.
Nia Alleyne scored a game-high 20 points, and Aberdeen led 43-11 at halftime.
