West Frederick, Monocacy
Win "AA" Championships
West Frederick completed an unlikely run to the first recorded varsity tournament championship in the program's history while Monocacy won its third jayvee title in the last four years in Tuesday night's "AA" tournament finale at MSD.
The third-seeded Cadets handed Urbana its first League loss of the season, 61-52, two days after defeating #2 seed Middletown in the semifinals. The title game win duplicated West Frederick's jayvee tournament victory over the UHawks last season as second-year Urbana came up empty for the third time in four championship game appearances (jayvee and varsity).
Monocacy downed Urbana, the only team to beat them during the regular season, for the second time in 10 days. 56-47.
A complete year-end wrapup will be posted this weekend.
On Monday night, host Glenwood was the last to leave the "A" championship tournament party at Marriots Ridge High School and they did so with a pair of championship trophies in hand.
Glenwood defeated Folly Quarter 38-34 in the varsity title game and Poolesville 43-22 in the jayvee finale.
Thanks go out the Ballenger Creek and Glenwood organizations for hosting this year's tournaments and to MSD for making its facility and staff available for the "AA" event.
Congratulations also go out to regular season champions from Glenwood (Piedmont varsity and javyee), Urbana (Chesapeake varsity), Monocacy (Chesapeake jayvee), Middletown (Antietam varsity) and Crestwood (Antietam jayvee).
Those teams received trophies at awards ceremonies following their respective jayvee and varsity tournament championship games.
A record 40 teams played 360 regular season games. All teams then took part in one of two year-end championship tournaments.
Visiting teams and their followers, including cheerleaders, are reminded that they are not to arrive at game sites more than one half hour prior to the scheduled start of the first game. Home teams will also request donations at the door to help cover costs of officials ($189.00 per doubleheader in Frederick County) and gym rental. League-imposed maximums on those donations are $1/student, $2/adult or $4/family.
The League welcomed Taneytown as its 20th member organization at its fall planning meeting on Sunday, Oct. 7. The Carroll County newcomer was placed in the Piedmont division. They will play in the A year-end tournament.
In other business, the League re-elected officers Don Cline (president), Jim Brown (vice-president/secretary) and Felecia Bush (treasurer). John Campbell will once again serve as the League's laison with the Frederick County IAABO officials organization and Jim Brown will chair the Review Committee.
Changes since last season include a revised division makeup, revamped policy regarding weather-related postponements, a revised tie-breaker system and increase in penalties for programs not represented at League meetings.
Urbana, which joined a year ago, was moved from the Antietam division into the Chesapeake division.
The Snow Policy was revised such that a "game will be postponed when the snow emergency plan, in the county of either participating team, is in effect two hours prior to the scheduled start of the first game".
The tournament seed and division tie-breaker was revised to only include the second game played between common opponents when one (or more) team(s) involved in the tie has played them twice and the other team(s) only once. The fee for missed meetings was raised for $25 to $100.

About Our Eligibility Policy
About Our Eligibility Policy
Part of the mission of our League has always been to prepare our athletes for the next level - their high school programs. That includes holding them accountable to the same academic eligibility standards that high schools impose.
We check that by asking school administrators to sign our Eligibility Form after simply placing an "X" by the name of any rostered player that has not met those requirements - a 2.0 GPA and no "F"s.
Some schools are not willing to do this, however, citing a "privacy" law enacted in 2005.
Be assured that our League is as concerned about a student's privacy, with regard to grades, as the school system. That is why we do not request any specific grade or even a GPA on our form.
Without the schools' cooperation, however, our only recourse is to require a copy of each player's report card. Which method does more to assure a student's privacy?
Some programs have put together a "waiver" form that they have parents sign to grant the school authorization to release eligibility information on our form. Others are collecting copies of report cards and submitting them to me for review.
We would request that schools rethink their position on the signing of our form. Until then, you can at least be aware of why our methods differ from program to program.
