Braves Look for Consistency Cutting Turnovers Key, Boys’ Hoops Coach Says

New Year, Same Focus Hornet Girls, Coach not Concerned with State Tournament Appearance

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer GREAT MILLS - Saturday afternoon marked just one week since the Great Mills High School girls basketball team first hit the hardwood to defend their share of the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference title and their 3A South Regional championship. However, the Hornets and head coach Brian Weisner, have gone about business as usual – working together as a team to achieve as many goals as they can this coming season. “We talked a little bit about last year,” Weisner said, a year where the Hornets went 24-2 and earned the right to play in the 3A Semi-finals, falling to Paint Branch 69-58 this past March. “We talked about what it was that teams did to make us struggle, and about what we can do to make those teams struggle this year.”

If last year was any indication, the Hornets will bring an aggressive, stifling defensive mindset along with timely scoring to help defend the conference title they shared with Lackey last season. The bigger picture, at least in Weisner’s eyes, is not replacing SMAC player of the year Ashley Lindsey and Megan Matheny (both have graduated and moved on to college) in terms of skill and talent, but in terms of leadership, something Weisner hopes his five seniors understand.

“You can replace scoring, defense, all the things you can teach,” he explained, “but that’s what we as a coaching staff been working on is teaching the girls leadership.”

Ryken Softball Standout Headed to Mount St. Mary’s

Senior guard R.J. Buck returns as the leader of the Ryken boys’ hoops squad this season.

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer After an up-and-down first year as head coach of the St. Mary’s Ryken boys’ basketball team, Dave Tallman knew it would take a special group of players to get the Knights to the upper tier of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference standings. And yet, he is confident his 2008-09 team will do just that.

“I think we have a great group of kids who have bought into what we want on the court as well as off the court,” Tallman said of his team.

With a roster that returns guards R.J. Buck, Elijah Matthews and Kai Smith along with newcomers such as Kamron Barker (a 6’4 junior forward who moves up to varsity this year) and two Turkish students, Gorken Sanmez and Gokhan Sirin, he has good reason to be confident.

It was tough, but it was rewarding for St. Mary’s Ryken football coach Bob Harmon. After dominating Annapolis Area Christian 35-0 Labor Day weekend for the first football win in school history, the Knights fell victim to the injury bug and a tough schedule, but Harmon believes the Knights can only get better from here.

For Buck, who recently signed a letter of intent to play ball at North Carolina A&T

State University, he had a feeling from the first practice that these Knights will be in the discussion for a conference championship.

“Not so much that we have a lot of talent,” Buck explained of his early observation, “but we work hard, and I think we’re ready to compete this year.”

getting looks from Providence College and Virginia Commonwealth University, and will try to replace the graduated John Taylor down low as the Knights’ offensive and defensive forces in the paint.

Along with the threeguard starting line-up of Smith, the sharp-shooting Matthews and the versatile Buck, the Knights have a lineup that can hang tough with WCAC powerhouses DeMatha and Bishop McNamara.

Also new to the Ryken boys’ coaching staff this year is Dave Keifer, a very capable assistant who has spent time learning from West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins during his tenures at Cincinnati and Kansas State.

“It’s a benefit to have a guy like this to coach our kids,” Tallman said. “David brings a lot to the table.”

With a new supporting cast as well as some returning performers, Buck feels the Knights will need teamwork and a consistent effort in order to bring home the WCAC crown by the end of February.

“Just staying together as a team and playing hard every night,” Buck said was the necessary formula for success.

“We have to bring it every night, no matter how tough it gets.”

Bob Harmon talks to his players at the end of a game earlier in the season.

saw them go 1-8 while learning about themselves in the process. “We’ve got a lot of talented, young, hard-working kids, but by the fifth game of the season, we were just worn down.”

The Ryken road show that was the 2008 season saw them take on some of the best the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference had to offer as well as a trip to Lynchburg, Va. to battle private school state champion Liberty Christian.

“I think the problem is that we frontloaded our schedule with all the tough teams from the WCAC and had Liberty Christian in the middle,” Harmon said of games with Bishop McNamara, Bishop O’Connell and Paul VI, followed by the trip into Virginia in less than a month’s time.

“If I had to do it over again,

we would’ve scheduled those games later in the season.”

It didn’t help matters that all of these games were played on the road, something Harmon doesn’t want to use as an excuse. He does however look forward to the completion of the Knights’ outdoor stadium this coming summer.

“Playing at home takes the pressure off of getting on a bus and driving up and down the road,” he explained.

“There’s pressure playing in front of a home crowd, but the fans are really supportive.”

The Knights were led throughout the season by their stalwart lineman, the trio of team MVP Jake Cooke, Ned Arick and Sean McShea, as well as freshman Hunter Wilson, who pitched in at tailback and linebacker throughout the season.

“If you told me we’d have a freshman starting this year,” Harmon said, “I would’ve thought you were crazy.”

With a new stadium and a dedicated group of football players, the 2008 season has allowed Harmon to put things in perspective.

“This year was a fun expe-

Bob Harmon believes that with their own stadium and a year’s experience, the Knights football team will be a tough team to play in the 2009 season.

rience and a humbling experience because it allows you to realize why you’re coaching here,” he said. “You’re here because you’re teaching these kids the game of football and helping them get to college, so you get a calmness about you.”

The calmness was necessary in a year that saw starting quarterback Chris Rixey break his leg on one play, and then his back-up break his hand on the next play. By the season finale at the Bullis School in Potomac, starting safety Peter Martin was the man under center, and it illustrated the Knights’ need to toughen – and bulk – up for the 2009 season.

“As a team, we need to get stronger,” Harmon said.

“It’s one thing for a coach to

say it, but our kids can see it as well. They want to win and they want to get better, all they’ve said to me is, ‘coach I can’t wait for the off-season workouts.’”

One advantage Ryken has over most – if not all – Southern Maryland high schools is that because of their private nature, they can hold offseason workout sessions in the winter, and kids can get stronger.

Harmon feels like 2009 will be a great season in the development of St. Mary’s Ryken football.

“I had a lot of fun with my boys this year because they’ve learned a lot about themselves and football,” the coach said.

“We’re going to be a much better team next year.”

St. Mary’s Northern League Seeks Players

Raider Basketball Continued from page B- preparation for the upcoming season.

“Maybe we should have the media here more often,” he said before adding that the team was “better at 9 p.m. than we were at 7 p.m.”

“We try to go right into things,” Heibel explained of the slow practice and scrimmage start the Raiders got off to recently. “When you have as many kids as we had trying out (81 all told, the most in Heibel’s tenure at the school), [the beginning of practice] is sluggish.”

Heibel and his troops are all too familiar with that sluggish feeling. The Raiders jumped out to a hot start the previous two seasons, only to wilt in the final weeks due to a lack of depth and a late-season suicide schedule against the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference’s best teams that left them helpless by year’s end. This time around, the Raiders and their coach hope they will have the energy and the manpower to compete in the SMAC. “I think we got away from the things that coach taught us last year,” said senior point guard Moe Stone. “Coach has got to drill us on everything we need to win, and that’s what he’s been doing.”

“We just need to stay consistent,” said senior guard Jeff Wettingel, who along with backcourt partner Stone and forward Gerrell Shingles will be counted on to provide the leadership for LHS this season.

“They’ve got a lot of games under their belt,” Heibel said of his senior group, with Stone christening his guys “The Three Musketeers.”

“They’ve got to use that to their advantage.”

Even with the senior leadership, Heibel hopes increased depth – thanks to several kids coming up from the junior varsity this season – will help Leonardtown shake off its recent trend of late season struggles.

“The guys who play the majority of the minutes, towards the middle of the season, they get worn down,” Heibel admitted. “These younger kids are going to have to get up to speed. We’re going to go as far those three (Shingles, Stone and Wettingel) take us, but I hope they’ll all be competitive down the stretch.”

“We’ve got to mingle as a team, because a lot of guys came up from JV this year,” Wettingel said. “I think if we can mix well, we’ll be fine.”

Stone is enthused about the increase in height the Raiders will employ this year, especially in light of graduating 6’7” center Drew Plath and forward Eric Chase.

“We’ve got a real tall and long team this year,” the 5’10 Stone said in amazement of the guys that tower over him.

“It’s real big for us to have the size this year.”

Another big thing the Raiders will rely on is their trademark defense, a stifling unit that held teams to below 50 points per game last sea-

son, and will be necessary again if the Raiders plan to make noise in the SMAC. “For us,” Jeff Wettingel explained, “defense is always good to have.”

Heibel feels that with defense and some improved scoring, Leonardtown will be just fine.

“If we can’t stop people, we can’t get out in transition,” he said. “I think if we defend better, we can score some points this year.”

mau said of the effort which saw the Braves stay close to the taller and more athletic Knights in certain stretches.

“Not too bad for just three days of practice.”

Mumau said starting the practice the previous Saturday, along with having to make cuts and quickly put together a game plan for the scrimmage, was tough, but he felt the team played hard.

“We knew they were going to be good,” Mumau said “but we played with them and I really liked our effort defensively tonight.”

Last year, Chopticon had an up-and-down season where they were able to knock off a few SMAC contenders, but after a first round victory in the 3A South playoffs, turnovers ended the Braves hopes in their quarterfinal loss at Lackey last February.

“We’ve got to take better care of the ball this year,” Mumau stressed. “You can’t panic and give the ball away like we did last year.”

“We played hard every night, we put out a lot of effort,” said senior guard Derrell Armstrong, an all-SMAC first team pick for the 200708 season. “We were losing games because of mental mistakes. We just have to do the little things and play smart.”

Armstrong, who averaged 16 points and five assists per contest last season, will lead the charge along with shooting guard Devon Yates and forward-center Glen Thompson, as the Braves look to-

wards a season where the top teams in Mumau’s estimation are similar to what they faced at Ryken Friday night.

“If I can keep five guys fresh against that type of talent,” he said the just-completed scrimmage, “then I think we’re going to be a competitive team this year.”

The teams that are most like the Knights in the SMAC are characterized by Mumau as being “anything within 10 miles of Waldorf. [2008 Class 4A State Finalists] Thomas Stone, Westlake, North Point and Lackey as well, those are the teams to beat.”

The Braves’ biggest problem this season may be a lack of a supporting cast to take the heat off of Armstrong, Yates and Thompson, as Mumau is unsure what kind of depth Chopticon will be afforded. Armstrong, on the other hand, is only concerned with getting on the court and helping his teammates play to their potential.

“There were stretches tonight where we were playing with and outplaying Ryken,” Armstrong said. “I think we have the capability to play with the top teams in our conference.”

Erin Leddy Continued from page B- she looks forward to the most – working as an elementary school teacher.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was real young, and I just stuck with that,” said Leddy, who will head off to Mount St. Mary’s next year to play softball. “I love interacting with kids and young children.”

While Leddy will major in elementary education, she’ll also patrol the outfield for the Mountaineers, a welcome change from her regular position as shortstop on the Knights’ softball team.

“I feel more comfortable out there,” she said.

“When she was 12 years old, she was making the kinds of catches that other girls just weren’t making,” her father Daniel Leddy added.

Leddy began playing tee-ball at age 4, progressed to playing baseball with the boys by age 6 and made allstar teams doing it. But she really took flight when she started playing softball.

“She was just a natural athlete,” Erin’s mother Christy Leddy said.

“Jim Sewell, who was coaching softball at the time down here, said Erin should really start thinking about travel ball, she was that good,” raved Daniel Leddy.

Young Erin Leddy would do just that, as she currently plays for the Bayside Bulls and honed her skills to the point where she has been an all-Washington Catholic Athletic Conference first team selection each of the last two seasons.

High School Sports Schedule 11/27-12/03/08 Dec. 1

“My coaches had faith in my abilities and were telling me I could play” at a Division I level, Leddy said of the support she received from various levels through high school, where she led the Knights to the WCAC semifinals last spring, the farthest the Ryken softball team has ever gone.

Fielding offers from several Division II colleges, and a few D-I schools such as George Mason and UNCGreensboro, Leddy ultimate-

ly decided on The Mount because it offered her major and a chance to stay close to home, as Emmitsburg is just about two hours north of Great Mills, where the Leddy family makes their home.

“I fell in love with the school and the team when I visited,” she explained of her choice. “It’s close to home, not too far of a drive on the weekends.”

Christy and Daniel Leddy did not care to interfere in their daughter’s choice

of where she would attend school.

“We left it totally up to her,” Christy Leddy said.

“We want her to be comfortable wherever she was going to go, so ultimately we left the decision up to her.”

Leddy has also shined on the soccer field and the basketball court for the Knights, and at the completion of this coming spring’s softball season, she will have earned 12 varsity letters, all while maintaining a 3.7 grade point

“We have more experience than the other players, so we have to step up,” Naylor added.

In Adams’ eyes, the success of last season gives the Hornets a head start on the competition, but the all SMAC first team player and her teammates understand that last season was just that.

With opportunities limited for playing softball after college, Leddy said she would love an opportunity to play long term, but made it clear that her future is molding and shaping the young minds of tomorrow.

“But it is a new season.”

Naylor figures the unique kinship this team shares proved to them they could do anything together.

“We have a sisterly bond that we use to our advantage to overcome anything,” she said.

Every year, the SMAC seems to get tougher and tougher on the girls’ side, and that’s alright with Weisner, as he believes the same thing that has won the conference two years running and earned the Hornets a trip to states last year will help them succeed again in the 2008-09 season.

“There’s a lot of talent in the league, and we’ve had talented teams here before that didn’t win,” Weisner says.

“For us, it’s putting kids on the floor who can play together as a team,” he said. “Teamwork can take a group of individuals a long way.”

Technical Center Students Learn Nursing Skills

Celebrate the Holidays at Annual PRISM Party

St. Mary’s Musica will perform traditional music of the season at this year’s PRISM holiday party at the HSMC State House on Thursday, Dec. 18.

Technical center student Jarod Stevenson practices dressing a patient during a visit from two St. Mary’s Hospital nurses on Nov. 13.

Students at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center in Leonardtown learned real-world medical applications from two St. Mary’s Hospital nurses on Nov. 13 as part of Perioperative Nurse Week.

Jamie Jackson and Darcy Bishop, both registered nurses in the hospital’s Perioperative Services Department, provided hands-on activities to students in the technical center’s anatomy/physiology and Allied Health classes. Jackson and Bishop discussed the details of their jobs and had students practice scrubbing their hands, gowning, gloving and draping a patient.

The skills the students learned “help them learn infection control measures for the surgical patient unit,” said Christine Mattingly, a registered nurse and anatomy/physiology and Allied Health teacher at the technical center. “Students who perform procedures and demonstrate competency learn to analyze and evaluate their abilities efficiently.”

This is the second year Jackson and Bishop have spoken to students at the See Perioperative Nurse Week page B-

The annual PRISM holiday party is Thursday, Dec. 18, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC) State House, where the halls will be decked and the candlelight will glow. The evening’s fes-tivities will feature music of the season by the St Maries Musica and gourmet heavy hors d’oeuvres. Complimentary hot cider and soft drinks will be served, and a cash bar will be available. Members and non-member guests are welcome. Reservations are required; price is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Please RSVP to Marc Apter by Dec. 15 by calling 240-8954381 or e-mailing mlapter@smcm.edu.

As per our tradition, all are invited to bring a new unwrapped toy to the gathering. The toys will be delivered to the County’s Department of Human Services on Dec. 19 for delivery to families this holiday season.

The Department of Human Services coordinates the Christmas Caring program each year to match gifts with families in need.

The Mistress Brent Garden Club will adorn the State House for holiday guests, as it has for the past 25 years. Fresh greens, blazing fires, and candlelight will enhance this season’s decorating theme at the State House, “The Journey.” Nautical details will commemorate the 375th anniversary of the voyage of the Ark and the Dove from England. The State House is a beautiful setting any time of the year, but it is particularly lovely during the holidays.

St Maries Musica, a high-spirited troupe of vo-

calists from Southern Maryland directed by Stanley “Joey” Hoopengardner, will perform songs from the group’s annual Christmas concert repertoire. This year’s program, “A Seasonal Greeting,” is a blend of traditional carols, seasonal hymns, and other festive songs. Holiday selections featured in the group’s concerts this season range from Han-del’s “And the Glory of the Lord” from “The Messiah” to traditional Christmas songs such as “Carol of the Bells,” “I Saw Three Ships” and “Silent Night.”

St Maries Musica was formed in 1971 when a group of neighbors in Southern Maryland got together to share their love of madrigal music and formed the Madrigal Choral Ensemble. As the name and costumes suggest, St. Maries Musica specializes in madrigals and other historic choral styles.

The group has performed in such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center and the Old Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. PRISM is the organization of public relations and marketing professionals in Southern Maryland. It holds bi-monthly luncheon meetings and occasional workshops to foster professional development and networking opportunities for its members. The meetings rotate between Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties.

Relay For Life of St. Mary’s County Receives 2008 American American Red Cross Hosts Cancer Society Award Appreciation Night Seven volunteers from the St. Mary’s County, MD, Relay For Life recently attended the American Cancer Society’s 2008 Relay University in Falls Church, VA. Volunteers Janet Shlegle, Kristy Anderson (front), Susan Dudley, Debbie Lehtonen, Abby Seamans (2009 Event Chair), Sue Lyddon-Hayes, and Georgette Gaskin accepted the Per Capita Award on behalf of St. Mary’s County. The 2008 Per Capita award was $2.17 raised per citizen of St. Mary’s County – an increase of $0.14 per capita over 2007. The 2008 event netted over $216,000 for cancer services, programs, and research.

The two-day conference recognized achievement for outstanding 2008 Relay For Life events and offered participants tools and information to increase the success of their events. Breakout sessions and regional rallies helped volunteers learn new ideas. In addition, volunteers learned the importance of integrating the Society’s mission through Relay For Life.

Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship. The funds raised from the events support the American Cancer Society’s mission to

Teams consist of individuals representing businesses, churches, schools, Navy and Marine Corps activities, neighborhoods, families and other community groups. Participants camp out around the track and when they aren’t taking their turn on the track, enjoy a variety of entertainment and team activities.

Relay For Life is not only a fund-

raiser; it also brings awareness to the community about the advances in cancer research, prevention and detection. Because of the event steady growth, St. Mary’s County was also selected to be a 2009 registration site for Cancer Prevention Study 3.

The American Cancer Society research study seeks participants 30 to 65 years old who have never had cancer to commit to being tracked for 20 years. A brief history and questionnaire, blood samples, and measurements will be completed at the time of sign-up at the Relay For Life.
