  • Department of Juvenile Services employees recently participated in the 2024 Matthew Fast Memorial Interagency Basketball Tournament in Frederick, MD. The tournament featured teams from DJS, the Frederick Police Department, the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, the State's Attorney’s Office, the Fire and Rescue of Frederick County, and the YMCA. All proceeds from the event supported the family of Matt Fast, a Frederick City police officer who passed away in 2016. The DJS team put on an impressive performance, winning every game and securing the golden ball trophy! It was a fantastic day for both players and spectators. Congratulations to the DJS team members, including Heather Hibbard, Tayana Stewart, Travis Dordevic, Michael Crabtree, Donavin Vinson, Houston Manley, Tim Landers, and Brent Williams. Great work, team! #BasketballTournament #MatthewFast #TeamSports
