Sorry for the delay in posting. I still don't have any Internet at home due to snow and ice storms. Tuesday night the Bears played at Thomas Johnson High School. Before the game started there was a surprise celebration for Coach Dickman, former coach of Gov. Thomas Johnson High School. (Coach Dickman was Coach Connolly's high school coach) Coach Dickman retired from coaching high school basketball in 2003 and was never honored for his 29 years of service, his extreme dedication to Governor Thomas Johnson High School Boys Basketball and his achievements (most wins of any high school coach in the state of Maryland- 592 wins, with 14 regional championships and 7 state championships). It was a dedication and tribute long over due. Coach Dickman put Frederick County Boys Basketball on the map in the state of Maryland and lots of kids that have come thru his program have been blessed to have him as a coach. Many were in attendance last night to shake his hand to pay tribute. Thanks Coach Dickman!!!
The game was a very physical game and both teams played hard with determination. All Bears saw playing time and the final score was Oakdale 77 - TJ 50. The next game was scheduled for Thursday at Washington High School, however school has been cancelled due to the weather. Therefore, Thursdays game has been cancelled. The next game is scheduled for Friday, but we will have to see how much snow falls. They are calling for 12-18 inches in some areas. GO BEARS!!!!
