The traffic was ridiculous, as what was really supposed to be a 1hr & 15 minute drive, turned in to a two hour fiasco. From avoiding accidents to bumper to bumper backups, MFV was trying to make it early for his first stop on the 2024 State Champ Tour. Once arriving in Waldorf, I would soon discover the travel was well worth it. Teams in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference (SMAC) were about to send a good message about their quality of football.

To start off I reminisced about the 2024 4A/3A MPSSAA STATE TOURNAMENT and how SUPER cold it was out there.  North Point pulled off an immaculate win by stopping the Mervo Mustangs from taking the lead by a 2pt-Conversion in overtime.  The Eagles rushed the field emerging once again as STATE CHAMPS. The weather was much nicer this day, though but a battle was a brewing.

North Point entered this competition  2-0, shutting out Maurice McDonough 34-0 and beating the 2A/1A champs, Patuxent Panthers 28-7.  You could see it in them that they were all about continuing that streak to a 3-0. However, the Northern Patriots were standing in the way, as they too were 2-0. The stage was set for the first stop of the tour and someone was leaving the field, 2-1. Let’s see how it played out!!!!

1ST QTR – The messy quarter is what I like to call it. Northern received the kickoff. It went into the end zone as the referee whistled touchback.  The first drive for Northern was intense; intense because the Eagles were getting fast to the ball. Patriots soon punted and on a big return put the Eagles in excellent scoring range. North Point put its first points on the board.

2ND QTR – The Patriots dominated this quarter scoring all its points here.  The first was directly at the start from a deep pass to the wide receiver, BOOM, touchdown!!!! The next two came from the running back, one from a nice distance out and the other on a goal line down.  It was sending a clear message to the Eagles: Northern was here to play.  North Point was able to add more when their RB broke free for a long distance break away TD.  Nobody was catching him, but the Eagles were down 19-13.

3RD & 4TH QTRS – The Eagles didn’t even go back to their locker room. Coach set them on a little hill next to the bleachers looking like they were being given a life-changing sermon.  Northern came out ready and energy on high spirits. North Point, appeared to be really contemplating what had been said to them. And it paid off. North Point was able to add two end zone visits, this time through the air.  The plays had me screaming and hollering like I was a North Point student.  The Eagles protected their lead and walked away undefeated.

This game was saturated with the essence of SMAC football. BOTH TEAMS have excellent O Lines, quick to the ball, pound the run game, and just are well disciplined and coached. Northern, I loved your grind and relentless effort to win.  You are not a team anyone should toy with. There’s no question as to why we consistently see you making deep playoff runs.  North Point Eagles, I feel you’ve overlooked. We’ve missed it. Apologies from MillerFlow, for not taking notice sooner to the great team you have. I look forward to making the drive down to see you again.  BOTH of y’all proved yourselves. Cannot wait to see what’s in store for the future. Best wishes to y’all. CONGRATS to the 2024 4A/3A STATE CHAMPS on your victory.
