Success Brings Chew Coach Of The Year Honor Leonardtown Boys’ Lax Coach Picked As Top Boss By Peers

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer Taking over a boys’ lacrosse championship contender wasn’t easy for Matt Chew, but he’s been very successful to date with the challenge. Winning the other half of Leonardtown High School’s four consecutive Southern Maryland Athletic Conference championships along with building a solid relationship with his players has earned Chew the conference’s Coach Of The Year award in just his second season on the job, a honor accorded to him by the SMAC’s other six coaches.

“It was certainly nice to win the award, it’s definitely a credit more to the players,” Chew said of a Raider squad that lost just one regular season game on its way to the 4A-3A East Region championship game, where they were outlasted by Anne Arundel powerhouse Severna Park by one goal. “I give them the credit for what they accomplished.”

The 11-10 loss two months ago was something that Chew refused to let his players get down on, considering the amazing success that 2008 brought the team (15-2 overall record with an undefeated record in conference play). “That’s what we’ve reiterated as coaches to the

Martin Repeats as Southern Maryland Amateur Golf Champion The 31st annual Southern Maryland Amateur Golf Tournament was held at Breton Bay Golf and Country Club on June 13th, 14th and 15th. The tournament featured a regular division of participants over 18 to under 55 years of age, a junior division (golfers under 18) and a senior division (55 years of age or older).

Brent Martin repeated as the regular division’s tournament champion with a seven-under 209 over the tournament’s three day action. Martin shot a five-under 67 on the first day, leading Pete Detemple by one stroke.

Vance Welch finished one stroke behind Martin for second place, while Detemple and Mark Cusic came in third (211) and fourth place (217) respectively.

Jay Dove won the amateur division by shooting a 72 in round one, a 73 in round two and a 74 on Sunday, and finished in the top five overall in the tournament. Mason Short and Spencer Bowling tied for runner-up, with both shooting a 226, seven strokes off of Dove’s winning score of 219.

Bruce Richardson shot a 75 on the final day of play to overtake Bob Newman by two strokes for the senior division crown. The First Flight winners were Fred Ashby (Regular) and Tom Bakewell (Seniors).

“It’s an honor to win the award, but I put the team before myself,” he explains. Norris, a four-year starter at Leonardtown is known for his physical play and quick shot around the net, but Leonardtown coach Matt Chew sees an unselfish player who took a backseat for the good of the team over the years.

his points and goals for us.”

Despite seeing increased defensive pressure in every contest he played in, Norris still managed to rack up 55 goals and 34 assists on the season, but he was most proud of the fact that all the defensive attention on him allowed players like Kenny Aicher (67 goals and 46 assists in 2008) and Brian Dallaire to shine in the Raiders’ most successful season to date. “It’s comforting that we don’t have to rely on one player, we have six guys offensively that can get the job done,” Norris said. He also will remember the good times he shared with his high school teammates. “We had that sense of family and unity, when things got a little rough, we

always were on each other’s sides,” he explains.

Earning an athletic scholarship to Towson University is a huge personal accomplishment, but true to his personality, Norris feels that it’s a bigger honor for lacrosse in St. Mary’s County. “It’s awesome,” he says of the scholarships award to he and several friends over at St. Mary’s Ryken “because of myself, Brent and Bryant Schmidt, Zack Angel and Andrew Wascavage, it shows you don’t have to be from Baltimore or Long Island to play lacrosse in college.” Norris plans to use to use his scholarship as inspiration intending to “work hard and get some playing time up there.”

Chew feels that Norris’ success is a product of his hard work and ability to share the glory. “[Playing at Towson] means that other coaches have saw what we’ve always saw,” Chew said proudly.

“He not only coached lacrosse but he coached us to keep our heads in the game and keep our cool,” Norris said. “He wasn’t all over us, he didn’t jump on us. He did what he had to do and admire him for that.”

From The Sports Desk No Quick Fix for NBA Controversy

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer As a journalist, it’s usually in one’s DNA to be curious about the inner-workings of anything that you cover or follow in this profession.

For me, professional sports have always been the complete and total essence of true competition, the best athletes competing at the highest level for the richest prizes in their respective sports. It’s a shame that one crooked official who’s about to turn in his whistle for a prison jumpsuit stands to bring that thought crumbling to the ground.

Tim Donaghy, the disgraced NBA referee who still faces sentencing for his role in an NBA gambling scheme, has implied that several NBA playoff series were fixed over the course of six seasons, most notably the 2002 Western Conference finals, which saw the Los Angeles Lakers edge the Sacramento Kings in a hotly contested seven game series. Donaghy alleges that the Lakers were given the benefit of several calls in Game Six in L.A., which allowed the Lakers to rally from a three games

to two deficit to win the series, and eventually the NBA title.

While you can pretty much take anything that a convicted felon says with a grain of salt, the opinions and feelings of pro sports critics, once slight whispers, have become loud and bellowing charges that the NBA and other professional sports are fixed. Everybody has a right to their opinion, but count me as one person who does NOT subscribe to the theory that the results of some of the greatest games and performances of human competition were scripted. Well, unless you’re a fan of World Wrestling Entertainment, then we can gladly agree.

Looking back at the history of the NBA and other leagues with several improbable champions, it just seems disingenuous and flat out silly to think that some of the more stunning results in the history of the league were created by some evil mastermind (although NBA commish David Stern most definitely fits the description of that perp).

For example, when the NBA started a 17year partnership with CBS in 1973, basketball was branded as “The Game of the 70s,” meaning that the sport was something that the well-to-do on down to the lower class could get with. All you needed back then was a ball, a hoop and your imagination.

With that kind of genius marketing, just how many times did the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks meet in the finals after the 1972-73 season (which was played out on ABC, for the record)? Zero would be the correct answer.

Section B -

Would the championship teams from less than desirable media markets in the Disco Decade please sign in? 1975 Golden State Warriors? Check. 1978 Washington Bullets? You got it. 1979 Seattle Supersonics? Come on down. 1977 Portland TrailBlazers? Your spot at the table is waiting.

The point of this little diatribe is to show that New York City and Los Angeles have been one-two in the media market rankings since the beginning of time. Why wouldn’t the NBA “fix” it so that the Lakers and the Knicks would dominate every year?

After winning two championships in 1970 and 1973, New York stayed in the middle of the pack until drafting franchise centerpiece Patrick Ewing in 1985. Guess what? They still haven’t won a championship in 35 years.

Aside from the Celtics and the Knicks winning two championships apiece and the ’72 Lakers assembling one of the best teams of all time, the 1970s were a wild goose chase for the 22 NBA teams hoping to contend for the championship.

Everybody had a chance in those days because basketball actually lived up to its game of the 70s billing. Every team and every player believed they had the ability and the talent to be the best, and as a result, the competition was amazingly intense.

Even during the vaunted heyday of Larry Bird and Earvin “Magic’ Johnson, the Lakers and Celtics were not without challenges before they met three times in the 1980s to settle who was the best in basketball. The Celtics of course had a local rival in the Philadelphia 76ers, led

by Dr. J, Charles Barkley, current Sixer coach Maurice Cheeks and hard-working center Moses Malone, making for some great battles in the East finals.

Out west, the Lakers were met with resistance from every team from San Antonio to Seattle before they could even think about the Boston Celtics.

With the 1983 Sixers and 1989 Detroit Pistons becoming the only teams other than the Lakers and the Celts to win that brass ring in the 1980s, the fix theory becomes a little stronger, but still a pretty weak argument overall.

While many people think that the New York Knicks HAVE to be good for anyone to

care about the NBA, the reality is something quite different. Even under the blundering mismanagement of that paragon for women’s rights Isiah Thomas, the Knicks still routinely sell-out Madison Square Garden – their fan base is as solid as any team that has won a championship in the past 15 years.

The league has survived four San Antonio Spurs championships over the last nine seasons, so don’t think for a second that locale is a good reason for a conspiracy theory. No disrespect intended towards the fine citizens of the Alamo City, but if the fix were in, does anyone really think San Antonio would be a wise choice for the capital of the basketball world?

Of course not.

There would be a gross error in judgment if no one believed that the gambling world influences sports. Why else do we fill out college basketball brackets every single March or hungrily scan the internet gambling sites for the early line of the Super Bowl 15 minutes after the AFC and NFC champions are decided?

Yet and still, I have a very hard time believing that David Stern, Major League Baseball chief Bud Selig and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would jeopardize the good faith (and deep pockets) of the fans who pay their hard earned money to see the best competition possible.

However, one can’t help but think, “what if?” What if Donaghy is telling the truth? What if the Kings, in the greatest year that franchise has ever had, had their chances at a championship greatly diminished because of a NorCal/ SoCal bias? What if referees are truly at the mercy of betting lines and odds and make calls on the basis of covering said line? It’s a scary thing to think about.

Still, much like many others who have had the pleasure to watch sports played at a high level for quite sometime, unless stronger proof comes out to back up Tim Donaghy’s claims, I’ll continue believing that the Lakers just went to the basket an awful lot in Game Six of the ’02 West finals. Sorry if I can’t fix my way of thinking.

Critter Corner Leaving Pets In A Parked Car Can Be Fatal We all love our pets and want to include them in our daily lives as much as possible. Many times, we’ll take them with us when we run errands or visit friends. And goodness knows how many dogs out there enjoy a ride in the family car. However, the Tri-County Animal Shelter wants you to know that there are certain times of the year, especially in the summer, when the best thing we can do for our best friend is to leave them at home!

Pets should never be left in an unattended vehicle for any period of time. On a warm, sunny day, the temperature in a parked car can reach 120 degrees in two minutes, even with the windows partially open. Pets can quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke when trapped in these high temperatures, since they can’t dispel heat as well as humans.

Basically, pets don’t sweat like we do; all they can do is pant. Snub-nosed dogs such as pugs, bulldogs, Lhasa Apsos and Shih Tzus, as well as animals with heart or lung disease, have an even harder time out in the heat. Leaving pets in a parked car also exposes them to theft.

Signs of heat stress in a pet include heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting or a deep red or purple tongue. If you see an animal in a car showing any signs of heat stress, contact your local

On June 10, 2008 at approximately 11:24a.m, Mollie Rea McKay, 82, of Valley Lee, was operating a 2000 Ford 4door sedan and stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of White Oak Parkway at Wildewood Boulevard in California. Roland Reese McKay, age 82, of Valley Lee, was the right front seat passenger.

Mrs. McKay stopped at the stop sign but failed to yield the right of way to Denwood Alvin Grube, 29, of California.

Grube was operating a 1988 Chevrolet Truck towing a trailer. Grube’s vehicle struck Mrs. McKay’s vehicle in the right side passenger door. Ro-

River Horse Rompings

By Theresa Morr Can you imagine spending all day splashing and wallowing around in water and mud; or having lips about two feet wide and canine teeth 20 inches or longer? Yikes! Now add a big bulky hairless body, grayish on top and pinkish underneath; some short stubby legs; small ears; and a very broad head. Why, it’s a hippopotamus, or river horse! The name comes from the Greek words “hippo,” meaning horse, and “potamus,” meaning river. And that’s where these king-sized dudes hang out --- the freshwater rivers and lakes of east Africa.

Hunky hippos. These semi-aquatic mammals grow up to be humongous, like about 3 tons worth. In fact, these heavy-weights are among the “big three” of the largest living land mammals, trailing behind elephants and white rhinos. With eyes, ears, and nose positioned atop their heads, along with super hearing, sight, and smell, hippos can easily keep tabs on what’s happening around their neighborhood.

Underwater wonders. Hippos move easily underwater but can only stay under for about six minutes at a time. And when fully submerged, their nose and ears close so water can’t get in. They can even prance along on the bottom of a river or lake. And if a hippo happens to nod off underwater, it’s no big deal. These big boys automatically rise to the surface and breathe without waking up! But younger hippos can only stay under for about 30 seconds at a time. Pretty awesome stuff, huh?

Keeping cool. Since hippos are hairless and have no sweat glands, the hot tropical African climate is hard on their skin. But Mother Nature comes to the rescue with her awesome built-in sunscreen: A reddish oily substance seeps out of the hippo’s body, keeping them cool and protecting their skin from drying out. And in case you’re wondering about that flat, swatter-like tail, well, the hippo uses it to

Sudoku spread its excrement around, which is just a way of marking its territory.

These animals communicate with one another through lots of snorts, hisses, grunts, bellows, along with some very serious head banging. You’ve probably seen them on Animal Planet, challenging one another with their huge open mouths, long canine teeth, and ramming their heads together like giant sledgehammers. Ouch!

Hippos are herbivores, meaning they like to chow down on plants. As darkness descends, they come out of their watering holes to graze on their favorite short grasses. Hippo groups are made up of females, their young, a few young adult males, and are led by one large male bull.

Natural born swimmers. Baby hippos are born on land or in shallow water, ready to swim at a chunky 50 to 100 pounds. Mamma hippo nudges her water baby to the surface for its first breath, and she also nurses the newborn underwater.

Hippos live about 20 to 40 years in the wild and about 50 years in captivity. Like many wild African animals, they are threatened by habitat loss and by poachers who sell the hippo’s meat and teeth.
