As Catonsville girls basketball coach Mike Mohler looks at his team's future, he sees the past. Year after year, the Comets rank among the best teams in the metro area. <\/p>\n
Catonsville won Baltimore County championships three years in a row (2008-2010), lost in the county final in 2012 and went 20-4 last year. <\/p>\n
Mohler considers the 2013 Comets, anchored by the only two seniors on the 14-player roster, point guard Breya Wallace and forward Taylor Barton, in the class of those outstanding teams. <\/p>\n
Catonsville is off to a 5-1 start. <\/p>\n
\"I love this team,\" said Mohler, who is in his 20th year as coach. \"I really do. This team can be something special.\" <\/p>\n
Catonsville used 10 players in a 35-30 victory over North Harford on Dec. 27 in the BBOWS Holly & Hoops Holiday Basketball Tournament. <\/p>\n
That type of depth allows the Comets to run a tenacious press, which is one of the signatures of Mohler's teams. <\/p>\n
In six games this season, they have yielded more than 30 points only twice. <\/p>\n
The teams that managed to do it, Patterson Mill and Seton Keough, are ranked among the top 15 teams in The Baltimore Sun girls high school basketball poll. <\/p>\n
\"That's not bad at all,\" Mohler said of the points allowed in the team's first six games. \"Our goal is 30 (or less).\" <\/p>\n
