Spring Victories – University of Maryland Athletics

The Terps also traveled to Frank W. Ballou High School in D.C. – coach Locksley’s alma mater – for an open scrimmage on April 20. Ballou student-athletes, locals, and some of coach Locksley’s former high school teammates showed up to watch Maryland practice. The event marked the first time an NCAA Division I football team played in South D.C., which meant a lot to coach Locksley.

“To be able to bring the Terp brand to my high school, it’s kind of surreal,” Locksley said. “To bring [Maryland] here to my hometown, to my side of the city, the South side of the city, which doesn’t get a lot of things like this. It allows our players to give back to the community that we’re trying to get to come [and] support us.”
