I was pleased with our play tonight. Callahan stopped 12 first half shots, but at the 33:31 mark of the second, a corner kick from Davi Clark found its way on to senior midfielder Jessica Cookes foot. Cooke then took advantage of the scrum in front of Callahan and snuck the ball past her for a 1-0 Raider lead. That goal was for Teresa Paz, Cooke said of the hero of the previous weeks 4A East regional championship game. Paz suffered a knee injury in the contest and came back to score the winning goal, but the pain prevented her from playing Saturday night.

Kelsey Lother rocketed in a goal from about 30 yards out late in the game to close out the Raiders scoring. We felt we had the power, Cooke said when asked about the two-goal spurt that eventually won the game for Leonardtown. We wanted to take shots and get corners, weve been working on those in practice all week.

I just told the girls to keep working hard and passing the ball, Henderson said, admitting there was no fiery halftime speech. The girls had great passing combinations, it was a team effort. This team, the majority of whom were sophomores when the Raiders defeated Quince Orchard in 2006 2-0 to win the state championship, is looking forward to another meeting with the Cougars, who are the defending 4A State champions. The game will take place this coming Saturday
at Retriever Stadium, on the campus of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, located in Catonsville. Game Time is 7:30 p.m. Cooke, one of the sophomores who played, but largely learned from her upperclassmen teammates, had scant recollection of that game, which included teammate Taeler Errington scoring one of the goals and the final score itself that day. Orchard outlasted Thomas Johnson on penalty kicks 7-6 in the first semi-final match of the evening, and
Henderson will have her team ready for another showdown at UMBC. They are the defending state champs, and it will be good to see them again. Were going to work hard in practice this week and be ready for the game, the coach said. Cooke is aware of Orchards talent and power, but it didnt faze her Saturday night. Theyre just a team, she said with a grin. Were playing for the state championship, and were going to play the best we can.

been all that kind to Philadelphians either. The Goons have watched their NFL rivals; the Cowboys, Giants and Redskins, win a combined 11 Superbowls. Phillys still waiting for its first. From 2002-2004 the Eagles lost three consecutive NFC Championship games, two of which were at home, and they are 0-2 in the Superbowl. Further, the city hadnt won a professional championship since Moses Malone and Dr. J, Julius Erving, led the 76ers to the NBA title in 1983. That changed a couple of weeks ago when the Philadelphia Phillies resoundingly defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series. It gave Philadelphia a chance to exhale, celebrate and raise their index finger in triumph; as opposed to another hand gesture Goons are so quick to display. And you know what? They deserved it. I am genuinely happy for Philly fans and the city of Philadelphia. Are the Goons rude? Sure. Would they boo their own kids if they missed a shot or struck out? Maybe (okay, probably). But Ill tell you what; they are totally committed to their city and their teams. There are no fair weather Philly fans. They are all-in, all the time. As a rival fan, I appreciate that commitment and their knowledge of and passion for sports. I wonder too, once you filter all
the rubbish and focus on the passion and commitment, if theres something we can learn from those wacky fans to the north. Consider for moment if we all had that same fervor and sense of purpose in other aspects of our lives. Would our relationships be better? Would our families be stronger? Would companies have lower attrition if they were a little more committed to employees? Likewise, if employees arrived at work with the same vigor with which Philly fans arrive to sporting events, would they be more productive and successful? When the media pokes fun at the Goons for their antics and ruthlessness, maybe theyre missing the point. Instead of getting distracted by a flying snowball hurled at Santa Claus, an opposing team getting a beer shower or a skirmish in the crowd, maybe wed be wise to filter the image and focus on the core values behind the unfortunate behavior. To me, passion and commitment, uncommon traits in an increasingly superficial world, shouldnt be made light of. Extra Point: (Disclaimerif youre under 21, please wait until you are to test the theory that follows. And if you are of age, and do wish to test it, please do so responsibly.) Do you know what can defuse a heated sports rivalry?
Beer. Seriously. Theres just something about its touchby-the-divine blend of water, malt, hops and yeast that makes it a truly disarming elixir. Think about it. Have you ever seen two local softball teams get after it on the field only to huddle, without a trace of contempt, around a cooler after the game? As a young lad, I remember my dad and the Hobos of the old Rocking Chair League grinding, cussing, spiting and battling for seven innings against bitter rivals only to immediately flip a switch after the final out, find their way over to a cooler so big I could have hid in it and toss a few back with the opposing team. Its not much different for sports fans. I have a buddy whos a fan of the Cowboys and Notre Dame. I have ill feelings for both. Still, I can sit with him over a regional craft beer or an import from some obscure earthly place and not be the least bit annoyed by the Cowboys jersey and Notre Dame hat hes wearing. So offer a frosty beverage to that misguided in-law or neighbor who roots, roots, roots for the rival of the home team. You may discover theyre a rational human being after all. Our teams may win, they might even lose, but either way, the beer is always cold.
Were a great passing team, but were used to getting a lucky bounce here and there, she admitted. But this year, they played a lot better. I didnt see any of that [nervousness] this time. Atholtons win gave them a state finals berth for the first time since 1980, but they were unable to win the championship, losing 4-3 to Fallston High School Saturday at Washington College. The season came to an end for the Hornets, a team that features 13 seniors who share a unique bond, but there were very few tears shed. Just reminiscing on their journey together and Butlers memories were many. I remember all of our practices, our time together, when I first came in as a freshman, and I didnt even have a stick, she recalls of her initial year on the team. After the first game, I said I quit, Im never playing this game again. But I came back and my teammates and my coaches helped me. She added, When we lose, we lose as a team, we dont blame it on one person because we are a family. Hannah Morse agreed. The girls are not just my teammates, she said with a warm smile, theyre more like my sisters. We cant be upset with how things went, we had a great season.

the Raiders experienced and quick hands. We practiced on turf, so I do think we were prepared, we were 110 percent ready. The Hornets also held the edge in corners, but were never able to get a clean look at Bottomley due to the aggressive and versatile defense. We got the corners we
wanted, Butler said. But it was just all dark jerseys by the time we got there. For the Raiders part, head coach Jim Brown acknowledged that the slower Broadneck turf was a bit different than what his team was used to. We play on Bermuda grass, which is a lot faster than
this surface, Brown said. We played better this year, on the turf, said Great Mills senior Hannah Morse. Last year, we had the deerin-headlights look. This year, we were confident, I feel good about how we played.

possible. They might have had 11, 13 seconds with the ball, Franks said, but in this game, you never know what can happen. What did happen, though, was that the Hurricanes, 3A South playoff-bound, were able to fight off several Raider challenges and earn a share of the SMAC title, courtesy of North Points loss to McDonough that same evening.

tween Athens legs and about 15 yards behind him. The senior managed to evade several Raider defenders and neatly drop a pass into the waiting arms of junior receiver Dave Stanley for 13 yards and a Huntingtown first down. That play, Pratley said, really hurt us. However Copenhaver had one last burst of magic left in his amazing individual season. On a third and three from their own 47, the wide receiver-turned-signal caller faked a handoff to Darren Reed and seemed to get lost among a sea of Hurricane tacklers, only to break free and speed off for a 53 yard touchdown run to shrink the Huntingtown lead to four points. I cant make even make stuff up anymore about how good he is, Pratley said of Copenhaver, who carried the ball 22 times for 168 yards and touchdowns for Leonardtown (2-8 overall, 2-7 in SMAC play for 2008). He, along with the other seniors are really going to be missed. Franks was complimentary of the Raiders effort, and said, Its a tribute to the coaching staff here; they came out and played hard in spite of a difficult season. However, the Hurricanes used Goodwin exclusively on that final drive, although he was stopped for a loss of one yard deep in Raider territory, a play that by all calculations should have been fourth down and possession turned over the Raiders. Instead, the referees, even after a brief conference, ruled it was third down, much to the dismay of the Leonardtown faithful. Pratley was disappointed with the way the Raiders lost the game, but was still pleased with the positive attitude and effort his players put forward this season, which goes a long way in his eyes to building a winning team at Leonardtown. Ive never heard one kid complain about playing time this season, he reflected with a proud smile. These kids played hard all year long and wanted to go out as winners. I think they did that tonight.

Leonardtown, who finishes the 2008 season at 13-3, came away with the 29-27 decision. They then led the fourth set 23-20 when a potential Raider point was called out of bounds by the officials, giving the point and possession to Broadneck.

sets to one Saturday evening. The Bruins now advance to the class 4A State Semi-Finals to be held later this week on the campus of Maryland-College Park. Correll was reluctant to say whether or not that missed point cost the Raiders the game, saying that there was still another set to play. We had our chances, he said. We were in every game except the second. Yeah, its a bad call, but you have to play through it. Bruins coach Scott Graf was pleased with and proud of his teams resiliency after they were just two points away from their season
ending. The ladies always seem to find a way to make it happen, Graf said of their final rally that kept their season alive through Saturday. They have the desire to go out there and win. For Correll, the season ended in heart wrenching fashion, but he refused to let the final game dampen the spirits of himself or his team. It came down to a few points, and it is what it is, the coach said with a smile. Our girls had a great season, and were not going to let this one disappoint us too much.
with the Knights being even younger than they were last season. Last year, they really came a long way and were much stronger at the end of the season, DeRegt said. This year, we have a lot of younger players on the team and they have to develop quickly. Graduating three of the teams four defensemen ranks

as one of DeRegts biggest concerns, but the lone returning back liner is cause for optimism junior Matthew Scott led the Knights in scoring last season, although his numbers could suffer a bit this year because DeRegt wants him to serve as a protector for freshman goaltender Greg Meyers. We cant spring Matt from defense to play forward, DeRegt said. Hes got to know when he wants to and needs to push the puck, but we need to him to be in front of the net. J.D. Webb, who DeRegt hopes will step up as a second-year player, will join
Scott as the other starting defenseman. Meyers, who replaces another graduate (Danny Madden) in goal, is one of the few hockey players who seem predestined to be a goaltender, at least in DeRegts eyes. Some kids are born to be goalies, other kids are not, she said. Greg was born to be a goalie, and were going to add a few more things to his toolbox to make him better. Hell come on strong this season. With an entirely new defensive line, save for Scott, the Knights are more than ready and able - to strike back on offense. Led by Brock Bailey and Sam Vogt, two seniors
that are versatile enough to play center or either left or right wing for the Knights, and with much of last seasons explosive offense (Matt McGown, Peter Martin, Kyle Wirt and expected contributions from T.J. Munz) returning, the Knights will be an exciting team to watch. DeRegt realizes that even with the talent she has, the Knights have a long way to go to catch up with some of the power schools in the MSHL Southern Division, namely schools with travel players. La Plata and Huntingtown both have rosters full of kids who play travel hockey, and its hard to overcome that
level of experience in one season, DeRegt said. We have six kids with previous hockey experience, which is a record for us. With the lack of yearround experience in an already deep division, DeRegt hopes the Knights can use their knowledge of the game and their instincts to carry them through the coming season. I want them to start putting it together, in terms of how to make plays, she explained. I want them to see how the elements of what we work on in practice can be used in game situations and do it.

Meet the awesome polar bear, the worlds largest land carnivore. Its home is in the Arctic region, which includes the five Polar Bear Nations --- the U. S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway. Despite the Arctics harsh environment, its all systems go for these super-insulated bears. Theyre covered with about four inches of blubber; a layer of under fur; and an outer layer of stiff, shiny, transparent guard hairs that look white because of reflected light. Their skin, nose, eyes, and lips are black, which also helps to conserve heat. Polar bears are powerful predators with long bodies, small ears, and tails. Stocky legs and large paws, which act like snowshoes, distribute the bears weight as it walks on snow or ice; and thick, black paw pads covered with tiny bumps called papillae provide the traction. The animals short scooped claws are perfect for gripping prey or digging out snow and ice. The big boys of the Arctic stand tall, like about eight to ten feet high. Males can weigh 1,700 pounds or more, while females are around half that size. These guys are great swimmers in open water and all that body fat, plus water repellent fur, gives them buoyancy. They use their large forepaws to dog-paddle themselves along at around six miles per hour. Ringed seals are the bears favorite dinner, which they capture by still killing. But to find the seals, the bears have to go where the seals go --where the ice floes meet the water. The bears keen sense of smell can detect a seals breathing hole a mile or more away. The bear patiently waits close by as the seal surfaces to breathe. The moment the seal pops up through the breathing hole, the bear fatally bites the seal and flips it onto the ice. A nice fatty dinner is served. The polar bears biology requires large amounts of fat from marine mammals like the ringed and bearded seals. In November and December, females usually give birth to twin cubs in a den made in deep snow. The tiny cubs are blind and toothless, and the
family stays in the den until March or April. By then, the cubs are chubby from mamma bears fatty milk, but she has fasted during this time, surviving on her body fat. Shes ready to leave the den to hunt for a good meal. The cubs will follow the mother for about two and one-half years, while learning how to hunt. Polar bears live about 20 to 25 years in the wild. Scientists estimate there are about 20,000 to 25,000 thousand polar bears throughout the Arctic region. But with the threat of global warming and Arctic temperatures at record highs, they fear that two-thirds of the worlds polar bears

could disappear by 2050. The melting of the ice packs directly affects the bears. Without a sea ice platform, the bears cannot reach their prey and are forced to swim longer distances to reach ice. Scientists conducting field work in the Arctic say ice is freezing later each year and breaking up earlier, leaving bears with less time to feed. The result: Bears are becoming smaller and weaker and females are having fewer and less healthy cubs. On May 14, 2008, the U. S. Department of the Interior placed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. If global warming continues unchecked, the only place you may be able to see polar bears in the future will be at the zoo.
