(David J. Kim/Washington Post)When asked before the season about sophomore guards Jao Ituka and Jordan Hawkins, Gaithersburg Coach Jeff Holda said without hesitation they form the best backcourt duo in Montgomery County. It was clear these teams were still thinking about last year’s 65-61 win by Gaithersburg during the playoffs. Don’t talk smack to the regional champions if you’re not going to play,” said Ituka, who scored a game-high 27 points. Ituka and Hawkins have combined for more than 51 points per game this season, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the Trojans’ production. Meanwhile, B-CC is off to a shaky start after getting upset by Churchill in its season opener and eking out an overtime win Tuesday against Poolesville.
