The Rockville High School boys and girls basketball teams will host a Friday night doubleheader with a promotion that organizers hope will serve as a one-two punch in a fight against cancer faced by one of their own.

RM boys basketball earns eighth win of season with victory over Wootton.
A loss last month to Wootton left the Richard Montgomery boys basketball team wondering who they were as a team. On Friday night, they showed what they were capable of, and gained a measure of revenge against their crosstown rivals, beating Wootton 51-45. “They outhustled us, they killed us on the boards, they killed us in the paint,” RM head coach Scott Spear said about the December game. “After the game, the speech was, 'Is this all we have? Are we going to be outworked by teams like this?' ... This was a big game because they embarrassed us in that first game, and we wanted to prove a point.” The first quarter was marked with several turnovers on both sides. Wootton senior Benjy Sokobin dominated in the paint. He scored eight of his 12…

Montrose Christian's Yuki Togashi reflects on the earthquake in his homeland and on his immersion into American life.
Like most teenagers, the first thing Yuki Togashi does each morning is check his mobile for text messages. On March 11, he got a text from his mother in Japan informing him to call home right away. "My mom said there was a huge earthquake but that all my friends and family were OK," said Togashi, a 17-year-old sophomore who plays point guard for Rockville's Montrose Christian School, the No. 3 ranked high school basketball team in the nation. "She told me not to worry—to think about school and basketball, but it's hard." Togashi's parents, who live northwest of Tokyo in Niigata, were fine, but his grandmother's house—which is located closer to the epicenter of the earthquake—was completely destroyed.
