Damascus defeated previously undefeated Glenelg (23-1), 46-19, to win their sixth straight state title.
In previous years, there was one 3A/4A champion and one 1A/2A champion, but a change was made to allow each classification to crown their own champion. Damascus, previously classified in 3A, was moved to 2A prior to this school year.
The suspects were caught in Howard County when Howard County Police assisted in stopping the vehicle involved in the robbery. All 3 suspects are now in custody.
