South Bowie falls

The South Bowie Sharks

85-pound AAA football team dropped a 13-6 decision to Glenarden on Friday night at Church Road Field.

Glenarden scored first on a drive aided by several South Bowie penalties. Reggie Harris returned the ensuing kickoff 45 yards and scored on a 20-yard run on the next play to tie the game. Matthew Phillips, Demarco Johnson, Elonte Kemp, Khalil Watson, Christian Melgar, Korey Hayman, Brent Haymen, D.J. Waring and James Lovelace led a solid defensive effort by the Sharks, as the game was tied 6-6 at halftime.

SouthBowie drove to the Glenarden 25-yard line in the third quarter, but an interception ended the drive. Harris forced and recovered a fumble to give South Bowie the ball again, but the Sharks were unable to capitalize. And on its next possession, Glenarden scored on a 50-yard run to take the lead for good.
