Each week, the Howard County Times will pick a Team of the Week and hand out five game balls to the top performers through all sports across the county.
Team of the Week
Wilde Lake football: The Wildecats have started the season with wins over Long Reach and Centennial. Wilde Lake came from behind to defeat the Lightning in Week 1 and dominated the Eagles in Week 2. Through two games, Wilde Lake’s offense has averaged 47 points per game.
Honorable mentions
Glenelg boys soccer: The Gladiators are 4-0 on the young season. They have shined offensively with five goals in each of their last three games.
Reservoir field hockey: The Gators began the season with a pair of wins over Oakland Mills and Marriotts Ridge, edging out the Mustangs in a tight 1-0 battle.
Game Ball No. 1
Isaac Ramsey, Oakland Mills, football, senior
Ramsey has starred in the Scorpions’ two dominant wins over Reservoir and Hammond to begin the season. The quarterback opened the season with two touchdowns, one on the ground and one through the air in Week 1 against the Gators. In Week 2, Ramsey was a human highlight reel, a factor in each of the Scorpions’ six touchdowns. He ran for three scores and also threw for three more.
Game Ball No. 2
McKenna Brown, Howard, volleyball, junior
Brown has proven to be a force on the outside for the seventh-ranked Lions. She began the season with a team-high 10 kills in a sweep of Oakland Mills. The junior built on that performance against No. 2 Reservoir, finishing with a match-high 18 kills. That included a stretch late in the second set with multiple kills and a block, flipping the tide in Howard’s comeback win.

Cudzilo was an important part of the Eagles’ offense in their first two wins over Howard and Oakland Mills. She scored two of Centennial’s three goals in the season-opening win over Howard. The sophomore forward kept it up with two more goals in a dominant 9-0 win over the Scorpions.
Game Ball No. 4
Jaydin Gore, Wilde Lake, football, sophomore
Gore has been a touchdown machine for the Wildecats through two games. He finished with four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown in the season-opening win over the Lightning. The dynamic sophomore took the Week 2 game against the Eagles over with four receiving touchdowns, all in the opening quarter, ending the game with five receptions for 117 yards.
Game Ball No. 5
Sydney Rhodes, Howard, girls soccer, senior
Rhodes spearheaded the Lions’ offense in their two wins to open the season over Oakland Mills and Reservoir. The senior, who entered this season with 27 career varsity goals, netted a pair against the Scorpions. She also scored against the Gators and is Howard’s leading goal scorer thus far.
