Colonels dominated the undersized Cougars en route to a lopsided 47-30 victory Friday night.

Zadak Magruder High School, it was a decided underdog. It showed too, as the Colonels dominated the undersized Cougars en route to a lopsided 47-30 victory. “We’re young, we haven’t experience this, we had a Cinderella season, and coming here, we kind of fell our way,” Coach Paul Foringer said. “Being on this stage might be a little too much for us.” In the first quarter, Quince Orchard failed to make a basket, and a free throw from senior guard Charles Porter would be the only points it scored in the frame. The Cougars didn’t net their first field goal until the 7:26 mark of …

In an unusual move, land has been set aside for a high school within the new Crown Development, the mayor says, but will the facility really be built?
Within the confines of Gaithersburg's new Crown Development is a 32-acre plot that, unlike much of the planned residential and retail sites on the property's approximately 180 acres, will go untouched for an extended period. That plot, donated to Montgomery County Public Schools by the City of Gaithersburg and Crown developers, will serve as a future high school, but not for at least six years, MCPS spokesperson Gboyinde Onijala told Patch. In fact, such a school technically doesn't even exist, MCPS spokesperson Dana Tofig said. "The [Board of Education] purchases land, or gathers, in trust that what they own could be used for future development as a school," Tofig said. "There is nothing in our CIP, not even planning funds, for a school …
