Mercy High School in Baltimore is gearing up to take on rival Maryvale Preparatory School in Lutherville in what will be considered the largest girls sporting event in Maryland – known as The Classic.

This signature event between the two teams builds on a friendly rivalry between Mercy and Maryvale spanning more than 50 years in multiple sports.
