The Trojans (29-1) won their 27th straight game while clinching the Maryland JuCo Conference regular-season title with the victory.

HCC's womens basketball team earned its second win of the season in a huge way, blowing out Allegany College of Maryland 81-41 in Wednesday's Maryland JuCo Conference matchup. The Hawks (2-6, 1-1), who hadn't won since defeating Potomac State on Nov. 5, fired on all cylinders Wednesday. HCC started the game on an 11-3 run before Allegamy's first timeout, only to stretch that lead to 25-12 with 9:05 remaining in the first half. “This game was a booster for our confidence,” said HCC coach Vicky Bullett.

It became one of the most lopsided final scores ever between Hagerstown Community College and Allegany College of Maryland. The Hawks continued along the unbeaten trail with their ninth straight win as they fashioned a 106-57 victory over Allegany in a Maryland JuCo Conference men's basketball game Wednesday night at HCC. “We could play (Allegany) three more times this year so this is important to get the first punch in against them,” HCC coach Barry Brown said. The Hawks shot a sizzling 62.3 percent, hitting 43 of 69 from the floor, including 13 of 23 from 3-point range.

Allegany College's first 11 batters reached base to start the game against Hagerstown Community College, and all of them scored, putting the visiting Trojans well on their way to a 17-1 victory over the Hawks on Tuesday. The game was stopped after seven innings because of the 10-run rule. “It was a bad day,” HCC coach Scott Jennings said. “When your starting pitcher never gets a man out, it's going to be a long day. There were too many walks in the first inning. There were a couple of dropped balls in the field that should have been caught.

Devin Miller has a short memory. That's probably what many will gladly remember about him once he finally leaves Hagerstown Community College. Miller, using every ounce of his shooter's mentality, got past his offensive struggles just at the right time on Sunday. The sophomore scored eight straight points in a three-minute stretch late in the second half to bring HCC from behind and set up a final defensive stand to earn a 79-74 victory over Allegany College to win a second straight NJCAA Region XX Division I Tournament title.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 MEN'S BASKETBALL CUMBERLAND, Md. - Casey Roberts scored 22 of his game-high 27 points in the second half on Tuesday as Allegany College came from behind to score a 90-89 Maryland JuCo Conference victory over Hagerstown Community College. Roberts connected on five 3-pointers as he found room outside the arc while HCC (21-4, 15-1) concentrated on holding down Trojans center Darnell Turner, who finished with four points. The Hawks had a chance to win the game, but needed to go the length of the court in 2.8 seconds and failed to get off a shot.

Allegany College put the Hagerstown Community College men's basketball team to the test on Monday. The Hawks failed. In fact, they didn't even looked like they studied. The Trojans took the game to HCC by taking it away from the Hawks from the start, controlling the tempo and flow to methodically scratch out a 86-78 Maryland JuCo Conference victory at the HCC athletic complex. Allegany's exam came in three parts and HCC acted like it needed CliffsNotes to have a clue. “We didn't play consistent defense, we didn't rebound well and we didn't make our foul shots,” said HCC coach Barry Brown.
