Gwynn Park puts last year behind it
Upset of Douglass makes up for loss in playoffs

back Zachariah Jefferson was told to “go blank,” he knew exactly what to do. Trailing by three points late in the fourth quarter Saturday and facing a fourth and one at at the Doug- lass 11-yard line, the Yellow Jackets were desperate. So Jef-

back Delonte Young sprinted into the end zone from six yards out to give Gwynn Park the lead for good with 3 minutes 18 seconds remaining in a Prince George’s 3A/2A/1A game in Brandywine. The Yellow Jack- ets’ 10-6 victory over the fourth- ranked, undefeated Eagles wasn’t pretty, but in the end, the players didn’t care about style points. “It was redemption,” Gwynn
Park linebacker Juanzel Harris said. Gwynn Park (5-2, 5-1) —
which fell to Douglass (6-1, 5-1), 8-0, in the Maryland 2A South region title game last Novem-
ber—overcame seven penalties and a pair of Jefferson intercep- tions to pull off the upset. “Itmeanssomuchto us,” said
Young, who finished with 39 yards rushing on 16 carries. “Everybody was saying we were out of it.” Junior defensive back Bran-
don Banks had a big day for Gwynn Park, picking off a pass on the Eagles’ penultimate drive. Douglass’s final posses- sion started at its own 2-yard line after Gwynn Park kicker Lord Carson Mbaziantu boomed a 62-yard punt — the ball rolled the final 10 or 15 yards. (Mbaziantu, who also plays soccer for Gwynn Park, booted a 32-yard field goal in the third quarter.) The Eagles managed to drive
into Yellow Jackets territory, but Taitor Reynolds’sHailMary attempt with two seconds re- maining fell incomplete in the end zone. Watching the ball float through the air, Harris said, “was gut-wrenching.” Josef Hinnant’s 49-yard touchdown run in the first half accounted for the only Doug- lass points. Kevin Dorsey had two interceptions and Greg Roberson added a sack for the Eagles. In the end, Gwynn Park
Coach Danny Hayes was still talking about the game’s key play: Jefferson drawing Doug- lass offside. “It’s a play we have,” Hayes
said with a smile. “It’s one little shift here and there. It definite- ly worked today.” Jefferson, who completed 6
of 13 passes for 57 yards, was happy it worked out. “We still have life,” he said.

EVERY WEEKDAY, 374,000 WASHINGTONIANS RIDE METRORAIL. EVERY WEEKDAY, 1,500,000 WASHINGTONIANS READ THE POST.
Every day 374,000 or so Washingtonians make 748,000 trips on Metrorail. Second only to the New York subway system in daily traffic. But as busy as it is, every weekday more than four times as many Washingtonians read The Post as ride the trains. And that’s the printed Post. It’s five times more if you also count online.

The trick is to draft behind the leader, let himfight against the breeze and then surge past him at the end. John McGowan threw cau-
tion, physics and literally his body tothewindSaturday after- noon during the Georgetown Prep Classic. The Sidwell Friends senior brashly ran out in front — as if the race wasn’t difficult enough and he wanted the challenge of plunging head- first into strong gusts of air. “Iwas just feelingreallygood.
I had rhythmic breathing,” McGowan said. “It’s not what you want to do normally, but [the pace] was way too slow. It was about time to go.” So off he went. On a sunny,
cool day,McGowan covered the hilly 5Kcourse inNorth Bethes- da in 16 minutes 14 seconds, 10 seconds faster than runner-up AlexWillett ofWalter Johnson. Race officials shoved prizes into McGowan’s hands after he wound his way through the fin- ishing chute, including a silver goblet and the shell from the pistol that started his race.

GeorgetownPrepcoachandfac- ultymemberwho died in June. O’Connellwon the girls’ com-

(19:18) was the winner. She was six seconds ahead of runner-up Anna Ryba, a Whitman junior and the top local performer. Therewere 151 runners inthe
boys’ race, but only five were in serious contention about 11/2 miles into it. By that point, McGowan had caught up to then-leader Matt Jablonski (Loyola), andthepair ranshoul- der to shoulder around tight turnsandthroughmuddyspots. McGowan made his move at
the two-milemark andwhen he plungedupwhat isprobably the course’s most serious hill, Jablonski had no answer. McGowan ran unthreatened for roughly the lastmile of the race, barreling down the gentle downhill to the finish. “I really pushed it up that hill
and I justwentwithit,”McGow- an said. “It never really hit me, the fatigue inmy legs.” Ryba said the fatigue hit her
legs amile into her race, but she took heart after realizing how many hills were in front of her. “I like them,” she said. Ryba wasn’t even with the
lead runners at the midway point, but she picked offmost of them during the second half of the race on her way to scoring her best finish ever at a major invitational.
