Hornets Championship Run Ended By Atholton


Goaltending, Scoring Keep Great Mills From 3A Title Game
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ANNAPOLIS This time last year, Great Mills field hockey coach Michelle Richmond was not particularly happy with the way the Hornets performed in their 3A State Semifinals debut. Fast forward to last Wednesday night, a 2-0 loss to Atholton at Broadneck High, and Richmond, although disappointed with the loss, was pleased with the improvement her girls showed in a years time. The Hornets played much better than last year, Richmond said. I think we panicked a little bit, but offensively we had our chances. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they dont. The Raiders didnt fare much better with their shots, but the two goals they were able to get, courtesy of sophomore midfielder Kim Markovitz, were enough to propel Atholton to the 3A championship game, greatly pleasing Raiders head Coach Jim Brown. Kims an exciting player for us, See Great Mills Field Hockey page B-3

Raiders Drop Finale in Controversial Style


Extra Play Aids Huntingtown
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN There are two wellknown fifth down games in American football history. As far as Leonardtown High School is concerned, Friday nights season finale should be added to the list. Joining the 1940 Dartmouth University Indians and the 1990 Missouri Tigers, the Raiders were victimized by an errant officiating call that gave Huntingtown High one extra play to run out the clock and preserve a 28-24 victory over the Raiders, a game which ended an exciting season on a sour note for Leonardtown. The referees came to us and admitted that they did get an extra play, said Raiders head coach Anthony Pratley, who was surprisingly calm after the final seconds ticked off the clock. But we cant say that cost us the game. We made too many mistakes, we did it to ourselves. Senior quarterback Mike Copenhaver See Raider Football page B-4

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.

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.

A View From The Bleachers


Goons On Parole
By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer Sandwiched between our nations capital and New York City is Philadelphia, PA, a city rich in American history it served as the most-of-the-time home of Benjamin Franklin, houses the Liberty Bell, is where our Declaration of Independence was signed and served as the nations capital in the 1790s and long on rabid sports fans. Philadelphia sports fans, the Philly Goons as I like to affectionately call them, have honestly earned their reputation as the rudest, crudest, most obnoxious and lawless of them all. Sound excessive? Its not. Lets stroll down memory lane, revisiting some of their finer moments. They once pelted Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson with snowballs as he left the field and cheered when Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin lay on the turf with a careerending neck injury. They have thrown batteries and bottles at players. They booed Donavon McNabb the day he was drafted (they wanted the Eagles to pick Ricky Williams of all peoplethink he would have survived in Philly?). This year they peppered the Redskins bus with eggs. They had an acting judge and jail at old Veterans Stadium to render justice, real time, for inevitable boorish fan behavior. They even booed Santa Claus himself. From the personal vault, as a kid, I attended a good number of Capitals games against old Patrick Division rivals such as the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers games were, by far, the nastiest both on and off the ice. The Goons seemed to arrive by the busload and occupied full sections near the rafters of the old Capital Center. Without fail, there would be some sort of episode in the volatile rows of demarcation between Caps and Flyers fans. With this impressive resume of thuggery (I dont think thats a real word...but you get my drift), the infamous Goons have become a running joke in the national media. ESPN and media outlets from other cities rarely miss an opportunity to illustrate a Goon gone wild. In reality, Philly fans probably arent that much worse than fans at other venues, but they enter any discussion of disorderly patronage with a little more credibility, the result of a preceding reputation if you will. When you get to know a Philly Goon, and we have plenty of them here in Southern Maryland as result of base realignments and perhaps an adopted love of hard crabs and softball, youll find that behind the tough exterior is a sports fan with a bit a fragile psyche. And I can understand that. Compared to its neighbors to the north and south, Philadelphia would be justified in having a bit of an identity crisis. Its not as famous or as big New York and it doesnt have the power of Washington, DC. In fact, despite its rich history, it may be best known as the home of fictional character (yes, sadly hes not real) and American hero, Rocky Balboa (did you catch the Rocky theme music during World Series commercial breaks?...hilarious!). Professional sports havent

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.

Continued from page B- Brown said. Shes got a bright future ahead of her. Markovitzs two goals, which gave her 18 on the season (shes smashed the previous record of 7, Brown said) proved to be more than enough support for Atholton senior goalie Maddy Bottomley, who despite her smallish stature, confounded the Hornets with her aggressive play in front of the net. This led to Bottomley stopping all nine shots she faced and earning the shutout. We thought because of how small she was we could get some good shots on her, said Hornets senior Hannah Morse. But that girl can stop some shots. In our conference, explained Ryshell Butler of the more passive style of SMAC goalkeepers, were not used to goalies coming out at us. When she did that, we were all like whoa! That sense of whoa, a feeling Richmond alluded to a week prior as being star-struck, was absent from the Hornets line of thinking, as they played a pretty solid game, but things just didnt bounce their way last Wednesday.

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.

Hornets Get Tough on Turf


Unfamiliar Surface Failed to Intimidate Hornets This Time Around
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer ANNAPOLIS Once upon a time, turf was indeed a dirty four-letter word for the Great Mills field hockey team, especially in the wake of their 3-1 3A State Semifinal loss to Bethesda-Chevy Chase in 2007. This year, although the Hornets fell to Atholton High 2-0 at Broadneck in the same round last Wednesday night, head coach Michelle Richmond felt the difference in performance was night and day, as they were more prepared to play on the surface. We were able to practice on Bermuda grass earlier this week, so this wasnt a surprise to us, Richmond said. We were prepared for this surface this year. The Hornets speed rested with seniors Ryshell Butler and Joselynn Stewart, who constantly beat Atholton defenders up and down the field, but the Hornets were unable to get any shots past Raiders goalie Maddy Bottomley. Ill tell you; Butler and Stewart, Richmond said with a laugh, those two definitely had them on their heels back there. We knew their stickwork was going to be amazing like it was, Butler said of

No. 8 Salisbury Records 14th Straight CAC Title


Salisbury, Md. A goal in each half helped the eighthranked Salisbury University Sea Gulls capture their 14th straight Capital Athletic Conference championship with a 2-0 victory over St. Marys College of Maryland Saturday afternoon. Salisbury (15-3) will next await the official announcement of the 2008 NCAA Division III field hockey tournament field expected to be released Monday morning. SU has made 23 NCAA tournament appearances, 14 straight, in its programs history. The Sea Gulls have won four national championships, with three of those between 2003 and 2005. Saturdays appearance in the CAC title game was the second in a row for St. Marys, who finished the regular season second in the conference standings to earn a first-round bye in the CAC playoffs. The loss ends the Seahawks season at 8-9. The Sea Gulls needed more than 34 minutes to get on the board as SU struck with seven seconds left to play in the first half. Freshman forward Alison Bloodsworth (Delmar, Md./ Delmar) redirected a pass from sophomore midfielder Kandice Hancock (Westover, Md./Washington) over the left shoulder of sophomore goalie Emma Lauhoff (Wayne, Pa./Radnor) for the goal. Salisbury led 1-0 at the break. In the second half, freshman forward Caitlin Walker (Fallston, Md./Fallston) backed down the Seahawk defense 15 minutes in and took a shot that was stopped by Lauhoff. However, junior forward Beverly Beladino (Putnam Valley, N.Y./ Putnam Valley) was positioned by the right corner of the cage to smack the rebound shot into the cage and put SU up 2-0. Lauhoff registered a career-high 15 saves in the loss as Salisbury rattled off 24 shots. Sophomore Anna Cooke (Ann Arbor, Mich./Ann Arbor Pioneer) had no need to make a save today as the Sea Gull defense held St. Marys to just one shot all game that was off the mark. Salisbury recorded an impressive 20-0 advantage in penalty corners. Story Courtesy of the St. Marys College Department of Sports Information

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.

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.

Seahawks Earn First-Ever NCAA Tournament Berth


Indianapolis, Ind. The St. Marys College of Maryland womens soccer team was one of 61 squads to receive a berth in this years championship tournament field when the NCAA Division III Womens Soccer Committee released the bracket for the 2008 NCAA Division III Womens Soccer Tournament Monday afternoon. This is St. Marys first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Seahawks (12-2-3) received one of 39 Pool A berths, which are awarded to the league tournament champions of conferences receiving automatic qualifications. St. Marys captured the programs first-ever Capital Athletic Conference title by edging York (Pa.) College, 1-0, on a Kaitlin Boswell (Baltimore, Md./Friends School) goal in the second half. The Hawks will travel to Lynchburg, Va., where No. 3 Lynchburg College (19-0-3) will host a four-team regional Nov. 15-16. Joining St. Marys and Lynchburg will be Emory (Georgia) University and Maryville (Tennessee) College. St. Marys will take on Emory in Saturdays first round match-up, while Lynchburg will take on Maryville. Saturdays match-up will be the first-ever meeting between the Seahawks and Emory. As the rookie of the four-team field, the Seahawks, who are flying high after their first-ever CAC title win, will bring a three-game win streak into their match-up with Emory. Junior midfielder Sophia Esparza (Silver Spring, Md./Montgomery Blair) controls the SMCM midfield and boasts 27 points (11g, 5a), while freshman Bridget McGovern (Wrentham, Mass./ King Philip Regional) had a stellar rookie campaign with 18 points on seven goals and four assists. Senior Marie Oben (Glenn Dale, Md./St. Marys, Annapolis) is 10-2-2 on the season with a 0.83 GAA and six shutouts. Emory (15-3-1) earned a Pool C berth after sharing the University Athletic Association crown with Washington University in St. Louis as both finished with identical conference records of 6-1. The Eagles are making their 11th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and second straight after advancing to the round of 16 a year ago. Emory currently owns a 5-9-2 mark in NCAA Tournament action as the Eagles are the veterans of the group. Shayna Brown leads the Eagle offense with 19 points (8g, 3a), while Sarah Wilkerson owns a 0.55 GAA with eight shutouts. The 61-team field consists of 39 automatic qualifiers, three from Pool B (which consists of independent institutions and institutions that are members of conferences that do not meet the requirements for automatic qualification), and 19 from Pool C (which consists of institutions from automatic qualifying conferences that are not the conference champions and the remaining Pool B teams). The two winners from Saturday will square off Sunday and that winner advances to the NCAA Sectionals on November 21-22 or 22-23.

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.

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.

The Fantasticks, tells the story of two fathers, Hucklebee and Bellomy, who pretend they are feuding to trick their children to fall in love. They even go so far as to build a wall between their homes to help make their plan believable. The consequences of their well-intentioned scheming result in a classic story of love, loss and redemption. The play is narrated by El Gallo, who watches and participates at pivotal moments. Luisa and Matt, the unsuspecting young lovers, question themselves, the meaning of life and love upon discovering the trickery.

The show ran for 42 years, making it the worlds longest-running musical. CSMs cast includes Andy Whetzel of Waldorf as Narrator El Gallo, Christina Tersero of Waldorf as Luisa, Ben Simpson of La Plata as Matt, Dale Sanchez of Indian Head as Hucklebee, and Jacob Stewart of Marbury as Bellomy.

CORNER
By Theresa Morr
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.
