ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Calvert Cavaliers played tough but couldn’t secure a win against the undefeated Dunbar Poets in Friday’s 2A/1A Maryland State Championship game.
The two teams took the field at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium this afternoon in rainy conditions. The game was scoreless at halftime. By the end of the third quarter, Dunbar was up by 8 points and that would be all of the points scored. Final score Dunbar 8, Calvert 0 – giving the Poets their 13th state championship win.
Cavaliers fans took to the team’s Facebook page after the game to congratulate the team on an amazing season and encourage the players to keep their heads up!
Janice Trask Hoover wrote, “Really proud of you all! Hold your heads high Cavaliers! Thank you for your sportsmanship and a fantastic season!”
Stephanie Proctor wrote, “Keep your heads up! Be proud you all made it here! Great job!!!”
The team felt the love as they pulled out of the high school this afternoon. The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office escorted the team out of the county as they headed to Annapolis.

Even as an alumnus of Northern High , this is hard to swallow that Calvert couldn’t secure the championship ..
Yet certainly impressive in regard to what they have accomplished .
This isn’t a second best . this is better than the rest .
However many returning players will be for next years season , use what you learned from this year , this championship game and work with the new players to explain how you got here ..
Aim for the championship next year .. and be vindicated for this year .
Good season guys
With tears in your eyes
Now you know it
You got beat by the poets
