Hornets Show Fight in Loss to McDonough Offense Puts Together Impressive Fourth Quarter Drive By Chris Stevens Staff Writer GREAT MILLS - The picture of dejection and dismay after the previous week’s nine-point loss to Leonardtown, Great Mills football coach Bill Griffith was in a much better mood Friday night, even after the Hornets See Great Mills Football page B-

Hornets Drop First Match to Patuxent Panthers’ Three Goal First Half Ends Perfect Start By Chris Stevens Staff Writer

LUSBY – In spite of her team being the first to score a goal on the Patuxent field hockey team this season, Great Mills head coach Michelle Richmond was not pleased with the Hornets’ play in a 3-1 loss to the Panthers last Wednesday afternoon. “They were confident coming into this game,” a visibly frustrated Richmond said. “But for some reason,
they had that deer-in-headlights look in the first half. It’s got to be on them to play better.” The Panthers (10-0 overall, 10-0 in SMAC play) got off to a great start when junior forward Lauren Bartley snuck a shot past Hornets goalie Breanna Jansen just 45 seconds into the contest, a goal that Bartley was excited to get and use as a motivating factor for her teammates. “It got me pumped up and I got my teammates pumped up,” Bartley said. “To beat a team that’s similar See GM Field Hockey page B-

Reeves Hits Three Homers In Championship Sweep By Chris Stevens Staff Writer MECHANICSVILLE – The game plan of the Country Boyz is clear – get a big lead and hold on to it. “When you jump on top first, that’ll take some of the energy away from the other team,” manager Maurice Queen said after his team swept the Raiders 2-0 in the Premier Softball League championship series Sunday afternoon at Knight Life. The Country Boyz jumped out to substantial leads in both games, only to have to fight off late rallies by the Raiders to make the games interesting. “They gave me a lot of heart, and they laid it on the line for me,” said Raiders manager Otis Brown, who added that the Raiders’ championship series appearance was unexpected. “Nobody had us being here. “We usually finish around fourth or fifth place, but to come in second is great.” In game one, the offensive charge for Country Boyz was led by second baseman Terrell Reeves, who was named team offensive MVP in the series. Reeves clobbered two home runs in the first game – a solo shot in the bottom of the first to start the scoring - which helped stake his team to a healthy 17-3 advantage through six innings. “Softball is a hitting game and we know if we put up runs, we usually control a game,” Reeves said. Even with the huge lead, the Raiders scored 10 runs in the top of the seventh, an alarming rally that forced Queen to reinstate his starting line-up. “I try to get everybody in the game because everybody’s a part of this team,” Queen said of his original decision to pull his starters in the final frame. “[The Raiders] took advantage of that.” After first baseman-turned-pitcher Ki Queen didn’t record an out, Saxon came back out and promptly retired the next three Raiders to preserve the 17-13 victory. Terrelle Stewart was defensive MVP for the Raiders at shortstop, making several outstanding defensive plays, including a fielder’s choice out on a ball that hit him in the upper body and caused him to leave the game. Corey Yates was offensive MVP for the Raiders as he walked four times in the two games from the leadoff spot, setting the tone for his team. See Country Boyz page B-

MORGANZA – It was a somber way for the six seniors on the Chopticon field hockey team to finish their last regularseason home game, a tough 2-1 loss to SMAC foe Thomas Stone Friday afternoon. However, head coach Anne Vallandingham, while disappointed with the loss, preferred to look at their season to date from a positive standpoint. “They have done things,” Vallandingham said of their marked improvement from pre-season practice to the 10th game of the season,
“that I have not expected them to do.” After struggling to a 4-8-1 record in 2007, this year’s edition of Braves field hockey is 6-4 overall and in conference play even after the loss to Stone. Yet, the team has continued to fly under the radar as one of the better teams in the conference. Some of the highlights include the Braves jumping out to a 3-0 start this season, their best start in years, and that they became the first team to score on previously unbeaten Great Mills a couple of weeks ago. Friday afternoon, however, Chopticon experienced a bump in their road to success. “When someone else comes ready to play, of course you have to reassess what’s going See Braves Field Hockey page B-

on,” Vallandingham said. “Each game you have to become better, to be an oiled cog in the machine, and work with whatever you are given.” The game was scoreless for the first 41 minutes, until the Cougars’ trio of Chelsea Courter, Lizz Fulgeniti and Sarah Bouchard teamed up to score the go-ahead goal. Ful-
gentini slid a pass to Courter who slapped the ball ahead to Bouchard, and she did the rest, beating Braves goalie Tracey Bowles stick-side for the first goal of the game. Less than five minutes later, Fulgeniti broke in all alone and scored for a quick 2-0 lead with just about six minutes to go in the game.
Victoria Downs responded a minute later for the Braves to shave Thomas Stone’s lead in half, a goal Vallandingham termed to be “bittersweet, because she’s played defense for me her first three years, and that’s her first varsity goal.” Downs’ shot fired up her teammates and the home crowd, but Chopticon could not get off another clear shot at the net in the final five minutes of the game. Part of the Braves’ problem is that one of their key defenders, junior Chelsey Guy, is out with an injury and it’s forced Vallandingham to switch things up a bit, but she still feels the Braves can move into the final two games of the regular season and the regional playoffs with confidence. “The psyche has to be that you believe in each other, and you have to want it,” Vallandingham said. “At times, kooky things have happened and it’s how you rebound from the kooky things that makes a season.”

Once again, the Raiders tightened up and outscored Country Boyz 11-2 over the final four innings, but their opponents already held a daunting 13-0 lead. “It was almost like playing catch-up,” Brown said. “They’re a hitting team, and they put some runs up, but we came back. It just wasn’t enough.” “You always worry with any team in this game,” Reeves said of Country Boyz’ mindset during both of the Raider comeback attempts. “They gave us a scare.” Queen and his team soaked up the joy – and some beverages – after their championship victory, saying with a smile that the win was “lovely, it feels real good right now.” Brown was confident in the play of his team and assured that this would not be the last Photo By Chris Stevens anyone has heard of the Raiders. “Look out for us next year,” he said. “We’ll David Dickerson of the Raiders’ prepares to make a be back.” catch in the first inning of Game One.

A View From The Bleachers Indispensable Asset By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer Washington Redskins wide receiver James Thrash and I go way back. Okay, not really, but we did run in to each other during Redskins training camp in 1998 at Frostburg State University. A buddy and I had taken a couple days off and driven up to “The ‘Burg” to indulge our ‘Skins fan-hood. After a long day of watching practice, picking up some autographs and hanging around for the live local sports broadcasts, we were heading back to the hotel to rest up for a night of intense pub touring (call it a two-man economic stimulus package). We walked by the campus dining hall and ran into a guy wearing flip flops and looking no more physically imposing than your average 6’ tall, 200lb guy. On a whim, and with an air of uncertainty, my buddy said, “James Thrash, nice to meet you.” Thrash smiled and said, “how in the heck do you guys know who I am?” At the time Thrash was a virtu-
ally unknown 2nd year player just hoping to catch on with the team. So his question was dead on; recognizing him in civvies was less a compliment than an indictment of the inordinate amount of brain cells we had allocated to ‘Skins information. After a brief exchange, he thanked us for coming up and supporting the team. I think he thought we were a little nuts for spending our free time watching grown men in helmets and shoulder pads practice in the sweltering August heat, but he seemed genuinely appreciative that we were there. So why am I subjecting you to a long lost story about a brief encounter with an NFL journeyman? Well, because we can learn something from James Thrash. Fast forward 11 years from that chance encounter at training camp and Thrash, now in his 12th year, is still earning a NFL paycheck. Do you know what the average length of an NFL career is? Try three-and-a-half years. And that includes high draft picks and heavy-salaried veterans

who get a little more leash for poor performance, injuries or poor off-field judgment. James Thrash, an undrafted free agent (translation: after 250-plus selections, no team drafted Thrash) out of the football “mecca” of Missouri Southern State never had any such margin for error. He’s never gotten the benefit of the doubt. He wasn’t blessed with overwhelming talent. James Thrash had to earn his way onto rosters through performance. He’s done it twelve times now; perhaps none was more impressive than this past season. This offseason the Redskins replaced coach Joe Gibbs with Jim Zorn, then used two of its first three selections in the 2008 NFL Draft on wide receivers. Between the new coaching regime and the influx of young talent at his position, Thrash’s prospects at making the Redskins’ roster appeared bleak. Oh ye of little faith. Thrash made the team and continues to make meaningful contributions week after week; which makes this year no different than the previous

After McDonough place kicker Tyler Wilkenson came up short on a 30-yard field goal attempt to end the third quarter, the Hornets came to life with an 11-play, 80 yard scoring drive that saw Jenner fire a laser into the arms of Samblanet, who was already near the goal line when the ball came to him. Griffith was pleased with the second half effort, but understood that his team’s inability to bring down the slippery McDonough ball carriers was their undoing Friday night. “We missed a lot of tackles in the first half,” Griffith admitted, but still remained positive about the final four games of the season. “This was a game that we could’ve won,” he said. “As a team, we still haven’t clicked yet, and when it clicks, watch out.”

Jenner connected with receiver Austin Samblanet on a 13-yard touchdown pass with five minutes left in the game. “We’ve got guys that are going to come out and play hard every night,” Griffith said after the game. “We’re still making youthful mistakes, but we’re going to turn it around.” Before the Hornets’ next to last drive netted eight points, the Rams (2-4 on the season, 2-3 in Southern Maryland Athletic Conference play) showcased their ability to run and pass on offense, with the three-headed monster of quarterback Byron Campbell along with running backs Derrick Joseph and Justin Brooks combining for 229 yards of rushing offense. Campbell opened the game with a 35-yard scoring pass to Javarrus King that got McDonough rolling. “Our wide receivers have blocked well all year,” Rams coach Luke Ethington said of King

Game Notes: Freshman running back Aaron Wilkerson got into a brief altercation with a Ram defender while protecting a teammate. “He said ‘that guy called my teammate a [expletive],’” Griffith explained afterwards. “I pulled Aaron off and told him I liked his aggression, but I don’t want him getting kicked out…” The Hornets return to action tonight when they visit Huntingtown High School at 7 p.m.

11. The fact that Thrash has survived all these years in the cutthroat NFL is amazing, but it’s how he survived that is meaningful. Have you ever seen the T.V. show “Dirtiest Jobs”? Basically it features some of the nastiest and most undesirable ways of putting coins in your pocket and food on your family’s table. I’ll spare you the details beyond that general explanation (you can thank me later). James Thrash’s NFL career kind of resembles an episode of “Dirtiest Jobs.” Thrash has endeared himself to countless teammates and a handful of coaches by possessing an every man’s work ethic that’s a refreshing exception to today’s spoiled professional athlete. No job is too big or too small for James Thrash. He’ll accept any task with vigor and execute with competence. Need a guy to play crash test dummy and return punts or kickoffs? Need a guy to make a key special teams tackle? Want a teamfirst wide receiver (a rare find today with guys like Terrell Owens and Chad Ocho Cinco) that throws a key downfield block to spring a star running back for a long gain? Think James Thrash, James Thrash and James Thrash. Whether you’re a recent college graduate starting your
Section B -
career, starting a new job, adjusting to a new boss or just concerned about your job in uncertain economic times, you can take something from Thrash’s story. The more frequently you’re the answer to an organization’s needs, the more valuable and indispensable you become. Successful organizations have a place for high-character people with a can-do attitude, a diversified skill-set and a willingness to do those crucial, yet unattractive tasks every business, or football team, just needs to get accomplished. James Thrash’s NFL career is proof of these basic tenants. And over 12 years he doesn’t appear to have changed his approach at all. In fact, I bet if I bump into him at next year’s training camp, he’ll be wearing flip flops and will still be surprised someone recognized him. Extra Innings: To be kind, the Tampa Bay Rays have struggled since they entered Major League Baseball as an expansion team in 1998. In the 10 seasons between 1998 and 2007, they finished something other than dead last in the American League East only once. Last year they were simply the worst team in baseball. But everything changed this summer. The Rays young talent gelled and
they won 97 games and the American League East. With absolutely no pedigree and the second lowest payroll in baseball, they finished ahead of the more heralded Red Sox and Yankees. And don’t make the mistake of chalking them up as a nice little Cinderella story. Baseball doesn’t do fairy tales. The regular season is 162 games and divisional foes play 18 times. You can’t hide behind a few lucky breaks and a hot streak. Only really good teams win 97 games and division titles, not lucky ones. Yet in April, you’d have been considered a fool at the mere suggestion Tampa Bay would even contend this year, much less go from worst to first. But that’s exactly what they did. Given their history and lack of expectations, it would have been easy and understandable for the Rays to accept some reduced definition of success. Clearly they turned a deaf ear to external opinions and expected nothing less than the very best of themselves. That translated into unprecedented success. So the next time someone levies external limitations on us, we’d be wise to remember the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays and not sell ourselves short. Send your comments to rguyjoon@yahoo.com

Nationally-Ranked Seahawks Run by Stevenson St. Mary’s City, Md. – In a battle of conference unbeatens, No. 25 St. Mary’s College of Maryland came out on top as senior forward Lauren Carrier (Crownsville, Md./ Old Mill) notched all three goals in the Seahawks’ 3-0 shutout of Stevens University Saturday afternoon in a key Capital Athletic Conference match-up. St. Mary’s (7-0-3, 4-0-1 CAC) came into today’s contest atop the league standings, while the Mustangs (8-5-2, 21-1 CAC) were in second. The loss now drops Stevenson to fifth in the standings. Carrier collected her sec-
ond career hat trick with her three-goal output today and now leads the Hawks with 13 goals and 29 points, while freshman midfielder Bridget McGovern (Wrentham, Mass./King Philip Regional) assisted on Carrier’s second goal of the day. Carrier started the scoring at 23:08 as she corralled a misplaced Stevenson clear and dribbled it into the box before sliding it to the right of freshman Brittany Ross (Millersville, Md./Severna Park). Two minutes later, Carrier took a diagonal pass from McGovern in the right side of the box and fired a shot in
the far left corner. Ross attempted to deflect it with an outstretched hand as she dove to her right but was unable to cause a big enough deflection to save the goal. The third and final goal happened at 63:36 in the second half as Carrier dribbled down the left side into the box and placed a shot at the middle of the far right post In her first match back after missing three games with a broken nose, senior Marie Oben made six stops in improving to 5-0-2 on the season and lowering her GAA from 0.81 to 0.70.
Seahawk Tennis Sweeps Shenandoah St. Mary’s City, Md. – The St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s tennis team evened its record to 2-2 with a hard-fought 5-4 triumph over Shenandoah University Friday as senior Jerilyn Rogalski (Amherst, Mass./Amherst Regional) and sophomore Monica Powell (Rockville, Md./Rockville) notched clutch wins. Powell knotted the match at 4-4 with her 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over freshman Alissa Altau (Waynesboro, Va./Waynesboro) at No. 3 singles. Then Rogalski sealed the win with a decisive 6-3, 6-3 performance over junior Jessica Putnam (Strasburg, Va./Strasburg) at No. 5 singles. The fall portion of the 2008-09 women’s schedule is now complete and the next time the Seahawks will be in action is March 1, 2009 when St. Mary’s takes on Bowie State University on the road.
Meanwhile, a dominating 6-3 victory extended the men’s tennis team’s win streak to three straight as the Seahawks handed Shenandoah University its first loss of the season. St. Mary’s (3-1) posted a 2-1 advantage after doubles play. The Seahawks captured No. 2 doubles, 8-3, behind the efforts of junior Kenny Nugent (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke) and Sam Barton (Edgewater, Md./The Key School), while freshmen Thomas Hoesman (Ellicott City, Md./Howard) and Robbie Bourdon (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) earned a hard-fought 9-8 (7-3) win at No. 3 doubles. Hoesman improved to 2-0 on the season with his first victory at No. 4 singles as he posted a 6-0, 6-0 triumph over junior Evan Lowery (Boonsboro, Md./Boonsboro). Nugent is now on a three-match win streak after notching a 6-1, 6-1 victory over senior Drew Evans (Amherst, Va./Amherst) at No. 5 singles.

Ospreys Shine in Silver Bracket of Fall Softball Championship The Southern Maryland Ospreys 16 and under fast pitch softball team, which features seven players from St. Mary’s County Public Schools, won the Silver Bracket Championship last weekend at Softball Nation’s Fall Championship tournament in Virginia Beach. The Ospreys fell behind 6-0 in the championship game, but rallied to forge a 10-6 victory. Leonardtown’s Laura Welch led the way with two RBI, and every other player on the team contributed one RBI in the winning effort. Great Mills’ Courtney Stewart took over pitching duties in the second inning and struck out five batters in five innings of work while allowing only one earned run.
Sisay Wins 10 Mile Run Fresh from placing in their respective divisions at the Baltimore Running Festival on Saturday, October 11, Ezkyas Sisay, John Piggott, and Belainesh Gebre descended on Piney Point early the next morning to take the top three places at the inaugural Lower Potomac River TenMile Run. Ezkyas Sisay, from Burke, VA, blazed through the flat course in 54 minutes and 27 seconds for the win. After the cheers from the small crowd died down, the finish line at the end of Lighthouse Road was quiet for more than a minute before John Piggott of Williamsburg, VA appeared around the last curve with Belainesh Gebre on his heels. Piggott clocked 56:32 for 2nd place and top Master (over-40) honors, and Gebre crossed the finish one second later to win the women’s division.

Patuxent’s Lauren Schumacher put the Panthers ahead to stay and Erica Wiltse added another goal with 12 minutes to go in the first half to close the scoring. “We knew this game was going to be a challenge,” Schumacher said of the battle of undefeated teams. “We knew they wouldn’t back down, and we didn’t back down either.” The Hornets bested Patuxent in corners, but had a hard time getting shots off, which really bothered their coach the most. “Absolutely, 1000 percent frustrating,” Richmond said when asked about the inability to take advantage of those free opportunities. “They know how to execute a corner. It’s a matter of everyone, not just one person, doing what it takes to get a shot off.” Being the first team to score against the Panthers in 2008 was of no consolation to Richmond because she believes her team can score enough goals to win against any team. “Offensively, we just did not take care of business,” she said. “The better team won today, it’s that simple.”
The Sunday win followed a 73 victory in the Silver Bracket semifinals over the Virginia Angels. Stewart also pitched well in that game, earning the victory with a ten-strikeout performance. Samantha Joseph led the offensive attack in the semifinal victory with three hits in three at bats, including a triple and three RBI. Chopticon’s Kaitlyn Fernald also picked up three hits in the game, along with an RBI. Samantha Peoples singled and doubled and Tiffany Kennedy drove in two runs. The previous day, the Ospreys had beaten the Virginia Magic in a pool play game before dropping two hard fought contests. In the 10-2 win, Emily Nelson sparked the Ospreys at the top of the order with two bunt singles. Fernald picked up three hits in three at-bats, including a double and two RBI. Ashleigh Hall contributed a big RBI triple and Stewart laced two doubles and two RBI. Michelle Lawrenson belted out a key double and Lauren Byrd also picked up a single and

laid down an important sacrifice bunt. Over the entire weekend, Fernald led the team with 12 hits in 19 at-bats, as well as picking up 5 RBI. Kennedy led the team with seven RBI and hit in the clutch well during the whole tournament. Nelson, Hall, Stewart, and Joseph all hit triples and Peoples, Hall, Stewart, Fernald, and Kennedy all hit two doubles. Stewart picked up eight hits on the weekend and Lawrenson and Joseph each garnered seven. The defense was excellent for most of the weekend. Hall did a great job at third base. Nel-
son stepped in at first base-a position she had not yet played for the Ospreys--and anchored the position very well. Kennedy was the glue at shortstop and Welch played a solid second base. Peoples made a great running catch in left field and Lawrenson, Joseph, and Byrd all played well in the outfield. After Hall was injured on a tag play at third base at the end of the day Saturday, Joseph stepped in Sunday to fill the gap at third base and performed very well. As usual, Fernald was superb behind the plate.

Pictured with the trucks are Steve Montgomery, SMECO Transportation Director, left, and Erik Barkhimer, Development and Membership Coordinator for Historic St. Mary’s City.
St. Mary’s College of Maryland student Joseph Francella (‘09) role-plays as an activist in a workshop designed to practice addressing political leaders in a town hall format. Students were challenged to identify themselves and summarize their policy requests to two other students representing presidential and vice presidential candidates in less than one minute. The activity was intended to help students develop their political voice in public and also to practice brevity and clear communication. Also pictured: Jen Yogi (’09), to the right of Francella, wearing green. Last month, nine students and two professors from St. Mary’s College of Maryland attended the “D4D on the Road” (Debating for Democracy) activism workshop at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. The day-long workshop was led by Christopher Kush, author of The One-Hour Activist. Students who attended took part in several activities designed to teach practical skills for communicating more effectively with elected officials and the media. The trip was organized by Professors Todd Eberly and Michael Cain, and sponsored by the Center for the Study of Democracy.

Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) recently donated two pickup trucks to Historic St. Mary’s City, the outdoor museum and National Historic Landmark that re-creates Maryland’s colonial capital. The museum received a 1997 Chevrolet S-10 and a 1993 Ford Ranger that the Cooperative retired from its fleet of vehicles. These two trucks will be used to replace two older trucks in the Historic St. Mary’s City maintenance department. With more than 850 acres of land and more than 100 structures to care for, the maintenance department has a great need for safe, working vehicles to assist in the performance of its duties. One truck will be for general use by the maintenance department, while the
other will be used by the maritime staff of the Maryland Dove, the museum’s full-scale replica of the ship that carried supplies for the Maryland colony’s founders in 1634. “Historic St. Mary’s City is very grateful for the support of the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative through their donation of these two trucks,” said Erik Barkhimer, Development and Membership Coordinator for Historic St. Mary’s City. “Specifically, I would like to thank SMECO President and CEO Joe Slater, Supply Chain Director Larry Hak, and Transportation Director Steve Montgomery, who made this donation possible. It is the generosity of such partners as SMECO that helps to make Historic St. Mary’s City such a success.”

Shaun Dugan is Awarded the CSP Designation Shaun Dugan, a member of SOUTHERN MARYLAND ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS, was recently awarded the Certified Short-Sale Professional (CSP) designation. Mr. Dugan joins a select and growing group of real estate agents who have recognized the importance of providing this value-added service to their clients. In today’s increasingly competitive real estate market, these trained agents set themselves apart by helping homeowners navigate through the process of short selling their home before it goes into foreclosure. MR. DUGAN earned the CSP designation by completing the prescribed online coursework and completing an end-of-course competency-based test. The Certified Short-Sale Professional course is designed to provide agents with the tools and knowledge they need to effectively guide their client through the short-sale process. Unlike normal real estate transactions a shortsale requires particular care and additional work to be completed smoothly and, if done improperly, may cause
the homeowner to go into foreclosure. Armed with the CSP designation and an increased awareness of the principles of short sales, real estate professionals such as Shaun Dugan are immediately able to better serve their current and prospective home sellers that may need to short sale their home. This knowledge sets the individuals who have attained the CSP apart from their peers, because it gives them the tools to assess a homeowner’s situation and properly guide them and the buyer of the property through all the necessary approval processes required to short sale a home. A CSP will be able to help the owner prepare the required documentation, navigate through the mortgage framework and keep the homeowner’s property from being foreclosed upon. For general information visit www.CertifiedShortSaleProfessional.com. For specific help on how a CSP trained agent might help sell your home during this difficult time, contact Shaun Dugan, your local Certified Short-Sale Professional at 301-863-2400.
