A Tale of Two Cities and Two Quarterbacks on afro.com

Poly’s Game-Winning Drive Edges City, 14-6, in Historic Rivalry

By Perry Green
AFRO Sports Editor
There isn’t a high school rivalry in Baltimore richer in
tradition than the annual Poly Engineers vs. City College Black
Knights faceoff. The teams have faced each other for 122
consecutive years but their Nov. 6 matchup was one of the most
dramatic, as Poly beat City, 14-6, at M&T Bank Stadium in
Baltimore.
Poly now leads the overall series over City with a 61-55-6
record, including wins in the last three meetings between the
teams. But Poly might have seen that streak come to an end if
not for an amazing, game-winning drive.
With the score tied at 6-6 late in the third quarter, Poly
quarterback Darrell Milburn led his team on an incredible 19-
play, 92-yard drive capped by a 25-yard touchdown pass to
running back Gabriel Ali-El to push the Engineers ahead, 14-6.
The game-deciding drive lasted more than 10 minutes, with
City’s offense off the field until just six minutes were left in the
game. Poly then closed out the game with outstanding defense
to collect the win and advance to a 7-3-season record, and a 6-2
record against Baltimore competition.
“Big time players make big plays at big times,” Ali-El told
reporters following the game. “There [are] 121 teams from Poly

touchdown run after reception from No. 33 as he leaps
through defenders at the goal line.
that have played before us. We couldn’t let our coaches down,
our fans down and the players who’ve played before us down.”
Ali-El finished the game with 66 rushing yards and was a
major part in Poly’s strategy of sustaining long, tiring drives
on offense. City coach George Petrides said Poly’s long drives
were the main reason his team lost despite a strong offensive
start.
“We couldn’t get the ball back in the second half,” Petrides
said. “We couldn’t get any three-and-outs on defensive.”
City was upset about the loss, but Poly needed the win to
remain a potential candidate for post-season play. City (7-3, 5-3
Baltimore City) has already qualified for the 2A Class North
regional playoffs scheduled to begin on the weekend of Nov. 12.
“We’ll move forward and stay focused on our goal,”
Petrides said, “and that’s [to] win a state title.”
The Playoffs
Poly won the historical rivalry, but unfortunately for them,
they did not get the help needed from other teams to make the
state playoffs. The only teams from Baltimore City that will see
the postseason action includes Patterson, Dundalk, Forest Park
and Dunbar. Patterson will face Thomas Jefferson in the 4A
North quarterfinals, while Dundalk will take on Eastern Tech
in the 2A North quarterfinals. Forest Park will play Forestville
in the 1A South, while Dunbar takes on Southside in the same
division. Visit afro.com over the weekend for recaps of the state
quarterfinals.

(17-5, 13 KOs) attacked
Joppy from the start of the
match, lining him up with hooks, jabs and combinations. Chants of “come on Jop, fight
back,” repeatedly filled the arena, as the one-time top fighter swallowed every punch that
Cummings was dishing.
“He’s Joe Frazier; he’s a brawler; he’ll crack you if you sleep for one second,” Joppy said
about his opponent.
There were moments when Joppy appeared ready to fall, but he continued to bounce
back with flurries of quick punches to keep Cummings at bay. Once the bout drew to a close,
Cummings’ trainers were sure their 31-year-old fighter had notched another victory, but one
judge called the fight 96-94 in favor of Joppy while the other two judges scored it 95-95 each.
“I thought I won,” a disappointed Cummings said. “I thought the fight was close but I
kept inside, I stayed with him, I know that he has a name and I was fighting in his hometown
but I also thought the referees were playing to his part. I’m just going to go back and study
the tape and build from it and come back stronger. Hopefully I can get a rematch and I can
settle it.”
While Cummings appears set on a rematch, Joppy said he may have something else in
store besides giving the Baltimore native a second bout.
“I think they want to bring us back to do it again but I don’t know,” Joppy said. “There’s
bigger and better things out there for me. I’m still at 39 [wins], I just turned 40 so I wanted to
get my 40th win, man.”
“It was a rough fight but it felt good to get back in there, I haven’t been in the ring,”
Joppy added. “This late in my career I haven’t been fighting like I used to. It felt good to get
10 rounds.”

What is Project Based Program
The Project Based Program is a component of the Housing Choice
Voucher Program where housing rental subsidy is attached to specific
rental units. In this program, HABC has contracts with specific landlords
to offer units to applicants from the HABC waiting list. The participating
landlord selects an applicant from the waiting list and requests that HABC
begin the applicant eligibility process, which is conducted by the HABC.
If the applicant is found eligible, the applicant can then be housed in
the landlord’s
landlord¬s Project Based unit. The applicant pays a reduced rent as
long as he/she remains eligible and resides in the specified Project
Based unit. Because the assistance is tied to the unit, the applicant
cannot move to a different unit and still receive assistance.
