The Maryland Lottery is reminding the public to play and gift responsibly during the holiday season and emphasizes that lottery tickets should not be given to children as part of the National Council on Problem Gambling’s “Gift Responsibly / Too Young to Bet” campaign.
For the seventh time in 13 years, Maryland’s two gold-standard programs meet on the state’s biggest stage, an annual collision that now feels less like a championship game and more like a heavyweight trilogy gone long. Wise vs. Quince Orchard is no longer just a matchup; it’s a brand, a legacy, a measuring stick for what elite public-school football looks like in this state. And this year’s installment might be the most compelling yet. The game between No. 1 Quince Orchard vs. No. 3 Henry A. Wise will take place on Friday, December 5th at 7:30pm (Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium Annapolis, MD).
If you believe in football karma, if you believe that high school seasons sometimes bend back toward the moments that shaped them, then this state championship matchup feels predestined. The Class 4A/3A – No. 1 Sherwood vs. No. 2 Mergenthaler (Mervo) takes place on Thursday, December 4th at 7:00pm (Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Annapolis, MD).
