I am interested in thoughts on private MIAA schools participating in the state tournament?
.........
There has been a Maryland Private State Baseball Tournament in May every year since I can remember. In 2009, Good Counsel HS lost to Riverdale Baptist in the finals held at RB. I remember Loyola in the finals a few years ago. St Johns vs RB in the mid 2000's was a good game. The finals for the Maryland Private State Baseball Tournament has been held at several locations including Shipley, PG County Stadium, Joe Cannon, Cabin John Regional, and maybe a year at Navy.
For 2010, the planned dates for the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athetics State Baseball Tournament include:
May 14 Regionals
May 17 Quarterfinals
May 19 Region Semifinals
May 21 Region Finals
May 25 State Seminfinals
May 28/29 State Finals
For 2010, this Maryland Private School Tournament is planned for 5/20 to 5/22.
May scheduling issues appear to be a primary concern for many and planning a June event has many conflicts. On the flip calender side, a planned fall event may be feasble yet has not been initiated from what I remember.
Good Luck
