Several former basketball players at the Laurel school have played pro ball overseas and Rowland was with a team in France this year.
David Morris, a former basketball standout at St. Vincent Pallotti High in Laurel, graduated from the University of Dayton with a degree in communications. But his education continued in a new way after those years in Ohio. A former starting point guard at the Division I level, Morris played pro hoops in Germany, Romania and Spain after a four-year career at Dayton. One of those learning experiences came a few years ago when he was playing for a pro team in Romania, a country in eastern Europe where life for many is very difficult. His team, which included some Serbian players, made a trip to Belgrade to play a Euro Cup game. While in Serbia's capital, Morris saw the buildings bombed from NATO air strikes in the late 1990s.

Laurel schools compete in softball, baseball and lacrosse.
Laurel grad goes international It's been seven years since Austen Rowland has taken part in March Madness. A 1999 graduate of St. Vincent Pallotti High in Laurel, Rowland helped lead Lehigh to the Patriot League title and a berth in the NCAA Division I tournament that year. Rowland, after playing at Pallotti, spent three years at the University of Delaware. He was not one of the main scorers for the Blue Hens and decided to transfer after his junior year after playing for head coach David Henderson, a former college star at Duke. Rowland led the Patriot League in scoring; he was named the top player in the league in 2004. Now, seven years after taking part in March Madness, the guard from Hyattsville is still playing hoops. A pro since …

Local golfer earns honor at Towson University, St. Vincent Pallotti baseball wins first two games and Pallotti grad is playing pro hoops in France.
Emily Kwak of Laurel travelled a lot of miles and played many rounds of golf to get back to Maryland. But she has made it. Kwak is now a senior on the women's golf team at Towson University and earlier this month she became the first golfer in the five-year history of the program to win a tournament. While living in North Laurel, Kwak made the drive to Rockville to attend elementary and middle school at Montrose Christian.
