Michael Dukes: The Legend Behind Pikesville's Dynasty | BMORENews.com
The Towson State standout shares a moment with BMORENews.
Head coach Michael Dukes has led Pikesville High School's girls' basketball program to five straight Maryland state titles — but before he was building a dynasty, he was Southern High School and Towson basketball royalty himself, playing after the likes of Towson Hall of Famer Roger Dickens.
In this Legends of Baltimore conversation with Doni Glover, Dukes talks about why the Dome at Madison is the true proving ground for Baltimore basketball, honors legends the city has lost like Jojo Parker, and breaks down what makes Baltimore hoopers different — the heart and grit he says can't be coached, pointing to Angel Reese's relentless motor as the standard. He also opens up about his godbrother and Pikesville assistant coach, Bishop Cavalier Elliott, who anchors the team's conditioning.
A humble champion talking real Baltimore basketball history.
