Senior guard Joey Badawi scored 12 points. including a tie breaking three-pointer with 26 seconds remaining in regulation as Hereford High edged No. 8 Woodlawn, 48-47, in a Baltimore County 3A/4A boys' basketball match in Parkton Monday evening.

Badawi's shot broke a 44-44 tie, then Woodlawn missed on its ensuing possession, and fouled Digges Bosley. Bosley hit one of two free throws for a four-point advantage before the Warriors hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

The Bulls bounced back in a big way as senior guard Sam Sarris and Bosley, a senior forward, each had 11 for the Bulls (12-6 overall, 6-2 in 3A/4A), who built a 27-21 advantage enroute to handing Woodlawn (12-4, 7-1) its first league loss.
