Sports
The sports program at Patapsco High School has been led by the success of the boys' baseball team. During the 2008 baseball season they were 3A State Runner Ups. After making their Cinderella run by defeating many top notch teams, they were defeated by La Plata High School at Ripken Stadium. The Head Coach for that team was Tony Maggard with the help of assistant coaches, Brian Rogers and Mark Planamente. This was the furthest that any Patriot sports team has gone in the recent history of Patapsco.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“Come, my Celia, let us prove
While we may the sports of love;
Time will not be ours forever,
He at length our good will sever.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
