As Maggie Morrison goes, so goes the Archbishop
Spalding girls basketball team. Morrison scored just four points on
2-for-19 shooting when the Cavaliers fell to Seton Keough on Jan. 27.
She bounced back in a big way yesterday by drilling four 3-pointers and
finishing with 25 points to lead the Cavaliers over the Gators, 55-48,
in an Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference
semifinal.
Archbishop Spalding (21-4) advances to tomorrow's 1
p.m. championship game against St. Frances at UMBC.
"I didn't really worry about that. I was out here an
hour before the game shooting and trying to get my rhythm, and it showed
in today's game," she said. "I felt good and my teammates worked hard to
get me open, so a lot of credit goes to them."
Morrison connected on her first 3-point attempt two
minutes into the game, giving the Cavaliers a 5-0 lead and the Spalding
star some early confidence. She hit another in the second quarter and
finished the first half with nine points.
"She has a lot of pride. We didn't talk a lot about it,
but I knew she wanted to make her mark and atone for that game," Spalding
coach Bookie Rosemond said. "I called a couple of plays for her early
because I wanted her to get off and get on a rhythm, and she hit them."
Freshman Camille Calhoun, starting for the first time
this season, gave the Cavaliers a big lift by scoring six points in the
second quarter, helping her team rally from a seven-point deficit. She
finished with 11 points and was a major factor on the boards against Seton
Keough's talented forward, Achiri Ade.
"She came in as a freshman in the biggest game any of
us here has had for years and just really had a great game," Rosemond
said.
Spalding never trailed in the second half, but never
led by more than five points until midway through the fourth quarter.
Morrison nailed a 3-pointer at the four-minute mark of the fourth to make
it 50-44, but Seton Keough scored four quick points to cut the lead to two
with 2:45 to play. Morrison found Calhoun down low with the shot clock
winding down to make it 52-48 with 2:13 to play and the Cavaliers held the
Gators scoreless the rest of the way to seal the win.
Spalding, which has no seniors, seemed to be the more
poised team over the final two-plus minutes.
"They've played a lot of basketball - all of them - at
the highest level, so they're ready," Rosemond said.
St. Frances, tomorrow's opponent, won the teams' two
meetings during the regular season by 11 and nine points, but the
Cavaliers were within five points after three quarters in both games.
"I've been here two years and we've played St. Frances
four times and we've been in the game every single time, but in the fourth
quarter we found a way to lose it," Rosemond said. "Hopefully, we learn
from tonight and find a way to win."

SPALDING 59, SETON KEOUGH 42
Morrison leads No. 1 Spalding over No. 6 Seton Keough
Junior guard scores 21 points for Cavaliers
Special to The Baltimore SunDecember 19, 2009
For much of Friday night's Interscholastic Athletic Association of
Maryland A Conference matchup, top-ranked Archbishop Spalding kept No. 6
Seton Keough off balance with its press and traps.
The Cavaliers
also built their offense around junior guard Maggie Morrison, who
dominated with her outside shooting and no-look passes under the basket.
Host Spalding trailed only once and finished strong for a 59-42 victory,
ending a seven-year losing streak to Seton Keough.
"They have a lot
of size, and we don't. Our strength is team speed, so we wanted to go
after them," Spalding coach Bookie Rosemond said. "They're a real good
team, so we're really happy to get a victory. This was a huge win for our
program."
Morrison, who is averaging 15.3 points, 5.0 assists and
3.4 steals per game, finished with 21 points. Brya Freeland added 16.
Seton Keough was led by 6-foot forward Achiri Ade, who finished with 18
points.
A pair of free throws by Morrison gave Spalding (7-1
overall, 3-0 IAAM) a 23-12 lead with 4:18 left in the half. A 3-pointer by
Freeland and a layup by Shaquila Curtis in the final 1:30 extended the
Cavaliers' lead to 30-14 at the half.
The Gators (3-3, 2-2)
regrouped and went on a 7-0 run to start the third quarter and held
Spalding scoreless over a four-minute, 22-second span. Seton Keough
allowed just two field goals and trailed 36-29 heading into the final
period..
Spalding settled down and controlled most of the fourth
quarter. The Cavaliers led 42-29 on a free throw from Morrison with 6:48
left in the game. A 3-pointer by Freeland with 59 seconds left increased
the lead to 56-40 with 59 seconds remaining and sealed the game.
"One of the main things we practiced was keeping it up-tempo all game,"
Morrison said. "We definitely kept the intensity going."

defense to pressure the Knights into early mistakes and then finished off
the ensuing offensive opportunities in transition.

The junior led the Cavaliers to two wins last week, including a 53-46
upset of Holy Cross. She had nine points, eight rebounds, four assists and
five steals, and also excelled on defense, holding Holy Cross' Akilah
Bethel to six points. In a 77-67 loss to St. John's-D.C., she scored a
career-high 21 points and had eight rebounds and seven steals. The
5-foot-9 forward also had seven points and eight rebounds in a 69-25 win
over St. Mary's. A first-team All-Anne Arundel County selection last
season, Curtis played Amateur Athletic Union ball for the Maryland
Shooting Stars. She has averaged 12.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.6 steals

Sherae Swinson
scored 11 points to lead Spalding to a season-opening victory and
teammates Torri Chestnut and Aleah Epps each added 10 points.
Shaquila Curtis added nine points and Bryan Freeland supplied eight for the Cavaliers in a balanced effort.
Jennifer Broussard's freshmen debut (nine points and seven rebounds) was a bright spot for the Saints in a tough opening game against the Cavaliers. St. Mary's (0-1) committed 40 turnovers in the loss, and managed only two points in the third quarter at the hands of Spalding's suffocating defense.
