Winter 2008 All-County Teams If there's one thing that seperates Williamsport senior Morgan Smith from the rest of her peers, it's her versatility. "She played all five positions," Wildcats coach Chris Malott said. "That was the key to her success. She can do it inside and outside. "When she first came in as a freshman, we played Middletown and she basically stood outside the 3-point line and waited for the ball. Now she does everything. She brings the ball up the court against pressure, she takes it inside, she can shoot outside.

POOLESVILLE, Md. - Williams-port basketball coach Chris Malott refused to sugarcoat the outcome of the Wildcats' Maryland Class 1A West East Sectional final against Poolesville on Wednesday night.

And there are times when you go up against a better team than you, and that's what happened here. " Top-seeded Poolesville shook off a rather inferior start before exerting its superiority, building up a 25-point lead before relaxing in the final minutes for a comfortable 48-35 win. "It's a big game and a big situation," said Poolesville coach Randy Berger.
