Anybody know why? Do HS teams routinely play there? Perhaps a tournament game?

It is probably from the Maryland State tournament as that is the girls site. The boys play at the University of Maryland's Comcast Center. It was seen on the 2006-07 Rules Book with Al Battista in the background of the Pocomoke/Dunbar game.

I guess ever since Morgan Wooten of DeMatha retired in 2003, Dunbar hasn't had the same competition. Wooten's zone press and offense against the zone are legendary. When I coached AAU, we used his press to win many ballgames. The guy was a genius.

I don't get my books until next Monday.

Question - I ordered and am reading the 2008/9 HS Basketball Rules by Topic. I really like the way it's simplistically and methodically structured and presented with the Rules and Case plays together. Does anyone know if this Book (296 pgs) is a comprehensive, compilation of the Rule and Case Books or are there areas missed where I would need to read the Rule and Case Book anyhow? Thanks.
