By MARK KELLER Staff Writer ST.

By SHELDON SHEALER Staff Writer COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Terence Morris clutched his jersey, then pulled it over his face. When he finally let go, the jersey fell, revealing a wide grin. It was a subtle yet rare display of the emotion bottled up inside the 6-foot-8 senior. Morris had reason to smile after Thomas Johnson's 59-53 boys' basketball victory over Randallstown in the Class 3A state semifinals Thursday at Cole Field House on the University of Maryland campus.

South Hagerstown's performance on the basketball floor Tuesday night started out very well, but everything the Rebels worked for nearly turned ugly in the fourth quarter.

South, the No. 4 seed, will return home Thursday for a 6:30 p.m. quarterfinal matchup against No. 5-seed Northwood. “We played a good first half of basketball,” South coach Kevin Naylor said after the Rebels beat Thomas Johnson for the second time this year.

South Hagerstown football coach Toby Peer is happy to let people talk about the big numbers some of his offensive players have put up so far this season. But he's also quick to point out that the Rebels have a pretty good defense, too. They showed that Friday night when they picked off five passes and held the Thomas Johnson offense to fewer than 200 yards as South won arguably its biggest game in a decade, beating the Patriots, 21-14. “There are a lot of people who thought we were a team led by our offense, but our defense has played well all year,” Peer said.
