the Potomac High School boys varsity basketball team dispatched Oxon Hill three consecutive times including a two-point victory in the playoffs
the rivalry continued as the two faced off for a Friday night showdown
[See more from Oxon Hill vs. Potomac in our Photo Gallery by clicking here!]
Both teams came into the match with only one loss during the season
Led by the team play of their starting five
the Clippers got their long-awaited payback from last season with an 82-73 road victory over the Wolverines
Oxon Hill junior point guard Ronald Polite finished with a team-high 18 points
keep my team intact and make great plays for my team,” Polite said
“If I’m doing good moving the ball and they are knocking down shots
then I have to try and get a bucket…Whatever is best for my team.”
The first half of the game was tightly contested
The Wolverines were the aggressors in the beginning as they fed off the home crowd and got off to a fast start
Potomac closed out the first period with a four-point lead (17-13)
Oxon Hill played well enough to tie the game up at 35 by halftime
“We weren’t rotating well enough on defense in the first half,” said junior combo guard Michael Sumner
“Our defense picked up in the second half really well.”
Not only did the defense for Oxon Hill pick up
after halftime but the offense did as well
They looked like an entirely different team than they did in the first half
A big part of that second-half surge was due to the play of senior forward Marcus Gorham
After a rough first half due to some turnovers
Gorham scored 12 of his 13 points in the second half
“I just wanted to win the game,” Gorham said
“We haven’t beat them in the last two years
They went more pass and spread out in their zone in the second half
rebound and do whatever else I need to do.”
Oxon Hill had their best period in the third when they scored 24 and held Potomac to just 17 points
Senior guard Kalonji Parker was a key contributor to that third quarter success with his play on both sides of the ball
Parker finished the game with 17 points (five three-pointers) and four steals
I’m just a run and shoot guy,” Parker said
pitch it to me and I am ready to shoot all the time
Oxon Hill sealed the deal as they went up by as much as 15 points
Potomac made a strong effort in the closing minutes as they cut the lead down to single digits
Potomac was led by senior point guard Sincere Jones
and junior guard Corey Dyches who scored 18 points
Senior forward Jorarei Bile was the X-factor in this game
Bile is known as a defensive specialist but finished the game with 17 points
which was tied for second highest on his team
“My teammates were setting me up today,” Bile said
In the first half we were kind of gambling on plays
“We are just trying to continue to build off successes,” Oxon Hill Head Coach Lewis Howard said
“Winning this game propels us to the next game
“We need just need to improve on rebounding the basketball
I thought in the second half we did a better job at rebounding the basketball and that created opportunities for us in transition

there are reports of babies being rushed to hospitals and a growing black market for formula
A baby formula shortage sweeping the US that has trigged a political crisis for Joe Biden is continuing to distress parents
caregivers and medical professionals as they still find the vital product difficult to obtain
chief medical officer and vice-president of Texas Children’s Pediatrics and Texas Children’s Urgent Care
said pediatric practices are receiving phone calls from worried parents about where to find formula and which kinds are acceptable for their babies
Spinner said not having the right formula can lead to developmental problems for babies
especially for those with special metabolic needs
Their nutritional needs are very different
If babies don’t get the right type of nutrition
You don’t just simply give a young baby cow’s milk
It’s not a sufficient way of giving them their nutrition,” he said
Reports of babies being rushed to emergency rooms after consuming homemade or diluted formulas show the importance of proper nutrition for infants
especially those with special dietary needs
This week, the Michigan-based baby formula manufacturer, Abbott, resumed operations at a production plant that was previously shut down after four infants that consumed Abbott-made formula developed bacterial infections
Only a handful of companies are responsible for the production of all baby formula in the US
calling into question the power they have over an essential product
Abbott is the country’s largest baby formula producer – producing about 50% of baby formula to US consumers – and the plant’s temporary closure launched a wave of supply shortages across the market
Widely criticized as being slow to react to the issue
Biden eventually invoked the Emergency Defense Production Act on 18 May and instructed private companies to ramp up production and for more baby formula to be imported from other countries
the administration’s plan even included the use of Department of Defense aircraft to transport the formula overseas in order to speed up delivery
the first Operation Fly formula shipment was delivered to Indiana and the second shipment of about 1m 8-ounce bottles was delivered to Virginia
Three more shipments will be sent to Pennsylvania
The FDA announced it was also taking steps to increase supply
8-ounce bottles of Nestle’s Gerber Good Start Gentle formula from Mexico
but the production and import will take weeks
Abbott is focusing on the production of EleCare
a specialty formula for infants who cannot tolerate other types
The company announced it will soon focus on producing the popular brand Similac and other formulas
Spinner said parents and caregivers should ask a pediatrician if they cannot find any for their baby because like Texas Children’s
other practices may be able to request formula directly from manufacturers like Abbott
consuming the wrong formula can lead to diarrhea
heart and lungs are rapidly developing early on
if they’re not getting the right type of nutrition
they’re not necessarily going to develop in a healthy way
So it’s not just you’re sick for a while and you’re okay
It can very much have those long term consequences,” Spinner said
But for babies on generic formulas like Similac
Spinner urges parents to consider other brands if their go-to is unavailable and to always consult with a pediatrician before switching
there’s really no consequence going from brand A to brand B
The difference is if you’re talking about a different kind of formula.”

“This goes back to the first week COVID was announced,” Bucher said
When he first heard that people who are over 70 or immune-compromised were advised to stay inside
‘If you know of anyone in that situation
Medium Rare will deliver them a free steak dinner,’ just because of how hard would it be to get an elderly person to a meal
three hundred and some-odd thousand meals later
Feed the Fridge refrigerators stocked with meals from Medium Rare were placed where students were getting free Wi-Fi at rec centers or public libraries
“We were filling them at that time with Medium Rare meals for free
because there was no school lunches,” Bucher said
The growing effort now includes fundraising
“We buy these meals from local restaurants in the communities that we serve,” Bucher said
“So we put money back in the community to keep our favorite restaurants alive
And there’s no poor person’s meals in these refrigerators
These are restaurant entrees made by chefs.”
what inspired Adventist Healthcare to get involved
the vice president and chief medical officer at Adventist HealthCare Fort Washington Medical Center
said before the news conference that Adventist got involved because “Nutrition is an integral part of health and wellness
It’s the foundation from which everything builds.”
