Glen Burnie High School Girls Basketball Pregame Walkout Hype Video

The pregame walkout hype video for the 2022-2023 Glen Burnie High School (GBHS) Varsity Girls Basketball team.

The Glen Burnie girls are coming off an incredible 2021-2022 season. They finished the year with a 22-1 record, the second best record in Maryland. They were the #1 team in Anne Arundel County, going undefeated in county play and winning the county championship in dominant fashion, besting rival Old Mill High School in a 68-50 contest. The Gophers went on to beat the Patriots for a fourth time that season with a decisive victory in the MPSSAA state tournament. The Gophers then advanced to the state semifinals where they recorded their first loss of the year to another undefeated team, Western.

In the region, the Lady Gophers posted an unmatched 16-0 overall and took home the regional championship. The Regional Champions trophy was their third piece of hardware of the season, following the In-Season Champions trophy and the County Champions trophy.

Coach Sam Porter is confident in his team's ability to repeat their success from last year. Most of the time, returning only 5 of 11 players would be cause for concern, but Porter believes wholeheartedly in the girls he has coming back and is excited about what the 7 new additions will bring to the table.

It seems like those in the know are right there with him. The Washington Post has ranked Glen Burnie the 11th best team in Maryland and 2nd best public school team in their preseason rankings.

Glen Burnie is poised to prove them correct. They aim to retake the Anne Arundel County Championship, the Regional Championship, and play for a Maryland State Championship.

This year’s twelve girl roster consists of returners Amourie Porter, Mckenzie Gilbert, Lania Nick, Aichatta Soumaoro, and Layla Washington, and newcomers Chloe Underwood, Cassidy Wilkerson, Martha Oghenekaro, Trinity Munford, Hannah Oghenekaro, Dontayzaha Washington, and Starr Munford.

At the time of this video’s posting on 1/03/2022, the team is off to a hot 6-0 start, beating Concordia Prep, Old Mill, Hereford, Northeast, Reservoir, and Chesapeake. The girls are poised to add another W with a win over North County this evening.
