Leonardtown Closes in on Goal Girls’ Soccer Seeks Fourth Straight Conference Title By Chris Stevens Staff Writer MORGANZA – Coming off of a major come-from- behind win over Southern Maryland Athletic Confer- ence powerhouse Lackey the previous Friday, the Chopti- con football team came into last Thursday night’s home- coming game with incentive and motivation to continue their winning ways. Unfortunately, Patuxent High School had the better end of the scoreboard; a 34- 18 win that spoiled the Braves homecoming and left both teams holding steady at 5-2 – still good enough for a spot in the top half in the heavily stacked SMAC standings. “Patuxent beat us in all three phases of the game,” said Chopticon head coach Tony Lisanti. “You can’t put your finger on one area tonight, it was a litany of things.” One of those things was Patuxent receiver/defensive back Justin Ford, who scored a touchdown on offense and defense, including a 79-yard interception return to close out the first half and give the Panthers (4-1 in conference play in 2008) a momentum boost going into the locker room. “We put pressure on [Braves Quarterback Leo] Kyte and he threw the ball off of his back foot,” Panthers coach Steve Crounse of Ford’s big play. “Justin jumped in front and nobody’s going to catch him, he’s one of the fast- est kids in the league.” “The kid made a great individual play,” Lisanti said, “but it was the fake punt that hurt us more.” With the Braves down 13-6 early in the third quarter and holding the Panthers of- fense on three downs, Patux- ent decided to get crafty. Punter Frank Taitano took the snap and fired a pass to Kenny Ford, who was cutting across the middle. Ford stiff-armed one would-be Chopticon tack- ler and cruised down the left sideline for a 48-yard scor- ing play, allowing Patuxent to open a double-digit lead, and the Braves would get no closer the rest of the way. “We’re a second half team,” Crounse explains of the Panthers’ customary second-half scoring bursts. “When we went up 13-6, we were confident that we could score some points.” Aside from the fake punt, Ra’joun Nelson had two touchdowns on the ground for Patuxent, and Marcus Bullock and Ford hooked up on a 12- yard scoring pass late in the third to give Patuxent some breathing room. The Braves started the game fast, as senior Mike Labanowski took the open- ing kickoff 56 yards down the field, and put Chopticon (3-2 in SMAC play this season) on the board first, scoring on a 14-yard catch and run with Kyte.

Leonardtown Closes in on GoalGirls’ Soccer Seeks Fourth Straight Conference Title

By Chris StevensStaff Writer

MORGANZA – Coming off of a major come-from-behind win over Southern Maryland Athletic Confer-ence powerhouse Lackey the previous Friday, the Chopti-con football team came into last Thursday night’s home-coming game with incentive and motivation to continue their winning ways.

Unfortunately, Patuxent High School had the better end of the scoreboard; a 34-18 win that spoiled the Braves homecoming and left both teams holding steady at 5-2 – still good enough for a spot in the top half in the heavily stacked SMAC standings.

“Patuxent beat us in all three phases of the game,” said Chopticon head coach Tony Lisanti. “You can’t put your finger on one area tonight, it was a litany of things.”

One of those things was Patuxent receiver/defensive back Justin Ford, who scored a touchdown on offense and defense, including a 79-yard interception return to close out the first half and give the Panthers (4-1 in conference play in 2008) a momentum boost going into the locker room.

“We put pressure on [Braves Quarterback Leo] Kyte and he threw the ball off of his back foot,” Panthers

coach Steve Crounse of Ford’s big play. “Justin jumped in front and nobody’s going to

catch him, he’s one of the fast-est kids in the league.”

“The kid made a great

individual play,” Lisanti said, “but it was the fake punt that hurt us more.”

With the Braves down 13-6 early in the third quarter and holding the Panthers of-fense on three downs, Patux-ent decided to get crafty. Punter Frank Taitano took the snap and fired a pass to Kenny Ford, who was cutting across the middle.

The Braves started the game fast, as senior Mike Labanowski took the open-ing kickoff 56 yards down the field, and put Chopticon (3-2 in SMAC play this season) on the board first, scoring on a 14-yard catch and run with Kyte.

LEONARDTOWN – Controlling the action with serves is a key component to the Leonardtown High School volleyball team’s success.

Last Wednesday night, Southern Mary-land Athletic Conference opponent Mc-Donough got an up close and personal view of what appears to be the Raiders’ stron-gest offensive trait.

Leonardtown served up 17 aces in all as they swept the Rams (4-6 overall, 4-6 SMAC) 3 games to 0, running their record on the season and in conference play to 10-1.

“We definitely controlled the tempo of the game,” said Raiders coach Steve Cor-rell. “[Good serves] work to our advantage because it allows our hitters to hit, and our offense is making great passes.”

The Raiders took all three sets by a double-digit margin (25-15, 25-12 and 25-10), and have only lost six sets thus far in 2008, half of those coming in their lone loss to SMAC front-runner Northern three weeks ago.

“It was important for us to regain fo-cus,” said senior server and outside hitter Shelby Mullennix of getting back to busi-ness after the 3-0 setback in Owings Oct. 3. “We need to keep our team strong so we can win games.”

The strength of the Raiders tonight was their service game, as it seemed any Lady Raider that sent the ball over the net was coming up with an eventual point or an ace. As a testimony to their accuracy, the Raid-ers had only five service errors during the course of the match.

LEONARDTOWN – Head coach Tara Everly was concerned how the St. Mary’s Ryken field hockey team would perform against the Calverton School Friday af-ternoon, considering the contest was the second time the two teams played in three days.

“It would’ve been nice to have a gap and another opponent between these games,” Everly said after the Knights dispatched the Cougars 1-0 at Calverton last Wednesday and 2-0 at home last Friday, “but I was im-pressed with our girls’ effort.”

Jennifer Henderson felt it was important the Raiders keep their eyes on the immediate prize, instead of looking too far ahead to regional play.

“I think if we continue to work and play hard,” Hen-derson said, “we have good potential, and that’s all I’ll commit to.”

Committing to wins hasn’t been tough for the Raiders this season, who ran their record to 10-0-1 on the season, the lone tie coming earlier in the week against Huntingtown High School.

The 1-1 standoff, forced by senior Emily Gehrig on a penalty kick, saw the Raiders adjust their game to playing a different style than they were accustomed to, and Hender-son was hoping Leonardtown could get back to their own style.

“Huntingtown plays so direct, we got away from our typical game,” she explained. “I thought we played our game well tonight, we passed the ball better than the last two games.”

The Raiders needed only one goal against Stone, and that came in the 22nd min-ute of play in the first half as Kara McLaughlin scored on a pass from Gehrig, and the Leonardtown defense, led by stellar goalie Dana O’Neill, made the one-goal lead stand up against Stone. Stone had several chances in the Raider half of the field, but just could not get one past O’Neill, who made five saves.

The lack of scoring was caused by a wet and cold track that made footing and main-taining control of the ball a problem for both teams.

“The ball definitely skips around out there,” Henderson said, admitting the field was part of the reason for the nor-mally explosive Raiders’ of-fense coming away with just one goal.

However, with that one goal being all the Raiders

needed to continue their march to the SMAC title, the coach will take it.

“I’m pleased with the way we played tonight, we had better rhythm,” she said.

Ashland, Va. – Fresh-man midfielder Brian Payne (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall) guided the St. Mary’s Col-lege of Maryland men’s soc-cer team to a 2-1 road victory over Randolph-Macon Col-lege last Thursday afternoon in non-conference action.

Payne notched a season-high three points on a goal and an assist as he netted his second game-winning goal in as many games.

St. Mary’s first goal came off a give-and-go between Payne and senior defender Chris Madrigal (Dunkirk, Md./Northern) as Payne gave

the ball and Madrigal went to goal for his second score of the season at 7:20.

SMCM maintained its 1-0 lead until the 80th minute, when senior midfielder Scott Landolt (Ellicott City, Md./Glenelg) connected on a cross from freshman midfielder Tyler Cornelio (Alexandria, Va./T.C. Williams) for the equalizer.

And just when it seemed like the Seahawks were head-ed for their fifth overtime match of the season, Payne came through with his second goal of the season as he put the finishing touches on a pass

from senior forward Benard Agyingi (Baltimore, Md./Dunbar) with just under three minutes left in the game.

Randolph-Macon got the short end of the stick in this game despite outshooting the Hawks, 20-14, and posting a slight 3-2 edge in corner kicks.

Freshman Dan Gressang (Bowie, Md./Bishop McNa-mara) registered eight saves in improving to 3-2-3 on the season.

Sophomore Jason DePre (Sicklerville, N.J./Winslow) picked up seven stops in the loss.

Stevenson, Md. – The St. Mary’s College of Maryland volleyball team remains tied with No. 22 Salisbury Univer-sity for first-place in the Capital Athletic Conference standings as the Seahawks posted a 3-0 (25-18, 25-16, 25-20) road vic-tory over Stevenson University last Thursday night.

St. Mary’s and Salisbury now own a 6-0 mark in league play.

The Seahawks (21-4, 6-0 CAC) and Salisbury will battle for the CAC regular season title and the top seed in this year’s CAC Tournament Oct. 24 at 4 p.m. in the first match of St. Mary’s own Seahawk Invitational.

The Seahawks started the first set with a 7-3 run as junior

outside hitter Sarah Gregorini (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) mustered up two kills and an ace and Stevenson (22-5, 4-3 CAC) committed four straight errors.

After Stevenson called its first timeout, SMCM went on a 10-5 run to force a second timeout by the Mustangs. Gre-gorini and sophomore outside hitter Claire Kodan (Olney, Md./Sherwood) finished with three kills in the 25-18 win.

Junior outside hitter Katie Ewing (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard) and sopho-more outside hitter Katie Obal (Olney, Md./Sherwood) each tallied three kills in the Se-ahawks’ 25-16 win in the sec-ond set. Two aces by Grego-rini in a four-point span helped

St. Mary’s establish its biggest lead of the set, 21-14.

Gregorini and Kodan led the Hawks to a 25-20 victory in the third set as both tallied four kills apiece, while Grego-rini and senior setter Megan Graydon (West Friendship, Md./Glenelg) each served up two aces. Stevenson tied the set twice but was unable to over-come the hump.

Gregorini and Kodan finished the match with eight kills apiece, while Gregorini recorded five aces. Graydon dished out 14 assists and had three aces on the night.

Junior setter Jenn Feldma-nn (Ellicott City, Md./Centen-nial) registered a double-dou-ble with 13 digs and 12 assists, while Gregorini added 10 digs.

Other than a two-yard dive into the end zone by Tyler Summers and Labanowski catching another TD pass as the game ended, the Braves had trouble punching it in.

“We were down there twice and couldn’t come up with the points,” Lisanti said. “In a shootout like this game was, you can’t fail to come out of there with some points.”

The Braves will try to get back on the winning track tomorrow night when they host Westlake at 7 p.m.

From The Sports DeskRegional Playoff Fun Begins This Week

By Chris StevensStaff Writer

With the Field Hockey and Boys and Girls’ soccer regional brackets released by the Mary-land Public Secondary Schools Athletic As-sociation (try saying that three times fast…I did and now I’m a bit winded), it will make for some interesting match-ups, considering the brackets are still being figured out by the luck of the draw.

With that in mind, we take a look at the regional set-up for field hockey and soccer, and offer our opinion as to who stands the best chance to end up playing for a state champion-ship out of the three public schools in St. Mary’s County.

My mother always taught me “ladies first,” so we begin with field hockey:

3A South Region Field Hockey teams: Great Mills (No. 1 seed), Chopticon, (No. 2 seed);

Count the Braves’ rise to plus .500 status and a Top-Three regional team as one of the pleasant surprises of this fall sports season. When the County Times spoke to coach Anne Vallandingham about her team’s chances of making waves this season in mid-August, she

offered a prophetic reply. “Their season rests in their hands.” So far, the season has seen Chopticon come

up with six wins, two more than last season’s total and better all around team play. The key to the Braves is their defense, and with Sarah Jenkins, Ashley Flint and Devhanna Steffe, among others, leading the offensive charge into the opponents’ territory, the Braves more than likely won’t be a one-and-done team – they’ll stay around as long as they can give themselves an opportunity to win, which more often than not, they do.

Meanwhile, the Hornets, aside from their one bump in the road at Patuxent earlier this month, have ridden the momentum from last year’s 3A state semifinals appearance through a 10-1 record to date and the top spot in the South regional playoffs, which served them well on their way to States in 2007.

With a strong senior core, the biggest task head coach Michelle Richmond faced at the be-ginning of camp was getting Great Mills to fo-cus for 60 minutes on field hockey, and they’ve been able to fight through the focus problems, save for the 3-1 loss in Lusby on Oct. 8. In a single-elimination tournament, the struggle to keep their heads in the game could prove to be costly. However, when there’s something that matters on the line, leave it to the Hornets to

play their best game and come away with the win.

Look for that trend to continue these next two weeks.

4A East Region Field Hockey Team: Leonardtown (No. 3 seed);

“Believe In Blue” has been the rallying cry for the Raiders’ field hockey team this year, and so far Leonardtown has left the majority of their opponents feeling blue, capturing a top-three seed in the always-tough 4A East region, which is comprised of Anne Arundel county stalwarts Severna Park, Old Mill, and perennial powerhouse Broadneck High School.

Whether it’s keeping Great Mills scoreless for over 59 minutes in one game or making the SMAC champion Panthers work to beat them in another, Leonardtown will be prepared for the best and brightest that the state of Maryland has to offer in field hockey. A regional final berth is not out of the question, as these Raiders have unquestioned desire and loyal fan support serving to push them forward this fall.

3A South Region Girls’ Soccer Teams: Great Mills (No. 7 seed), Chopticon (No. 9 seed);

Led by coach Amy Herndon and a young but talented and eager nucleus of players, the Great Mills Hornets jumped from two wins in 2007 to five this season and will host a play-off game for the first in recent memory tonight when SMAC rival Westlake (who the Hornets defeated earlier this season) comes to Hornet Stadium.

Game time is scheduled tentatively for 5 p.m. Hosting this game is a feat Herndon is proud of.

“This the first time in five years of coach-ing that we’ve hosted a playoff match,” she said Monday afternoon. “It’s nice to relax and let [the opponent] come to you.”

It should be interesting to see whether these youthful Hornets (who have just three seniors on the roster) can take that excitement and im-provement to the next level in these playoffs.

A daunting task awaits the Chopticon Braves, provided they defeat Crossland High School in their first round match-up later this week. The Braves, should they defeat the Cava-liers, will have the pleasure of doing battle with regional top-seed and SMAC runner-up North-ern High School to determine who will advance to the South regional semi-finals.

With that much staring them in the face, Chopticon will not back down and on any giv-en day, anything is possible.

4A East Girls’ Soccer Team: Leonard-town (No. 1 seed)

Water is still wet, the sun rises in the East, and the Leonardtown Raiders grab the top spot in the 4A East region – what else is new? With a team that is talented from top to bottom, the Raiders are not taking anything for granted, as they remain committed and focused on the task at hand, which was wrapping up the SMAC title (their regular season finale vs. Calvert was too late to be included in this edition of the County Times).

Goalkeeper Dana O’Neill has been the Great Wall of LHS this season, and with offen-sive firepower coming from Emily Gehrig and Kara McLaughlin among others, Leonardtown looks to reclaim the state championship they won in 2006. Don’t bet against them to do so.

3A South Boys’ Soccer Teams: Great Mills (No. 4 seed), Chopticon (No. 6 seed);

Has there been a greater story than the Great Mills boys’ soccer team this season? We’re hard pressed to find one. Matt Tag-gart, a Leonardtown grad, has stepped in as head coach and pulled a couple of rabbits out of his hat, as the 10-win Hornets will host La Plata later this week, with the Hornets joining Leonardtown High as schools with both soccer teams hosting regional playoff games.

The Braves will travel to Huntingtown in the first round, and even though Chopticon fell 3-0 to the Hurricanes in September, the playoff records are 0-0. Chopticon could pull of a few upsets here and there if they’re on top of their game.

4A East Soccer Team: Leonardtown (No. 3 seed);

Enter Matt Reber; continue success. That’s been the formula for the Raiders’ boys’ soccer team, who haven’t missed a beat despite the resignation of Bruce Henderson as head coach earlier in the summer.

Reber has come on board and piloted the Raiders to another winning season and a top-three spot in the 4A East region.

With the experience necessary to make a long run, Raider fans should be prepared for a successful ride through regional play.

team, we knew that they had a good de-fense,” Correll said. “We respected them coming in to tonight.”

Respect and kindness aside, Leonar-dtown to the naked eye has appeared un-challenged in their 10 victories, but both Correll and Mullennix beg to differ.

“It helps us gain confidence going into our next game, but we don’t let it go to our heads,” Mullennix said.

“We know that if we sweep a team we’ve worked very hard to do it.” Cor-rell added. “We haven’t blown anybody away; we’ve had tough matches with La Plata and Patuxent this year. We’re just taking care of business.”

Even while closing in on a top spot in the 4A East regional playoffs, Correll wants to concentrate on the task at hand, which is the final week of the regular sea-son, scheduled to conclude Friday night at Huntingtown.

“My girls, they have a job to get done, and we’re working hard on that,” Correll said. “But we’re going to take it one game at a time.”

Cougars, The Knights got goals from Megan Ligday and Ali Buddenbohn in both halves, as they controlled the tempo and kept the heat off of goalie Marlyne Corson, who when she had to, stopped ev-ery shot Calverton threw at her.

Ligday scored the go-ahead goal just six minutes and 27 seconds into the con-test, while Buddenbohn add-ed a little insurance with 1:38 left in the match.

The Knights, gearing up for their final four contests of the regular season and the Washington Catholic Ath-letic Conference tournament, saw this scheduling quirk as a chance to tighten up some

parts of their game before heading back into WCAC play after a tournament at Patuxent High School this past weekend.

“My fear was that it was going to be hard, in a way, to get motivated, because you just saw this team a few days ago,” Everly said.

Instead, Ryken played one of their best games of the season offensively and defen-sively, and came away with the home-and-away sweep of the Cougars.

“The first game we played against them was a good game,” Ligday said of the previous battle up in Huntingtown. “We did some things wrong, so we wanted to bring it to them today and be ready for the WCAC.

“We know what each team has to offer, so we need to be on top of our game.”

To be ready for the con-ference tourney, Everly feels the Knights just have to con-tinue working hard and giv-ing their best effort, while continuing to close the door on teams, much like they did against the Cougars last week.

“I just want them to be able to finish and not get frustrated by things that they

can’t control,” she explained. “They just have to stay fo-cused and play their game.”

Jocelyn Henderson probably never would have expected that a 1996 Toyota Camry worth about $4,000 would be the stuff of dreams come true, but it seems that’s the case. The St. Mary’s College of Maryland (SMCM) student and mother of two young children won the car in the “Starving Student” Contest sponsored in September by Toyota of Southern Maryland. To enter the con-test, students submitted essays explaining why they needed a car. Twenty-five finalists were selected and each read his or her essay at an award ceremony on Sept. 20. The finalists themselves selected the winner by voting on the best essay, which was Henderson’s tale of her husband’s and her struggles to juggle school, jobs and children’s appointments with one old, dysfunctional car showing all its 300,000 miles.

“Winning this car has really been a blessing,” said Hen-derson. “It runs well and gets good mileage. It is wonderful of Toyota of Southern Maryland to give students an opportunity like this, and many people at school have approached me to say congratulations.”

Henderson is a biochemistry major with plans to go on to medical school at Johns Hopkins Medical College. She is complet-ing a research project at SMCM under the guidance of Dr. Randy Larsen, professor of chemistry. “Jocelyn is a great student to have in class, and is conducting state of the art research on dissolved organic matter in the St. Mary’s and Potomac rivers,” Larsen said. The project required her to drive to different locations to collect water samples. Getting to her research locations will now be an easier task in her “new” car, as will be getting her son and daughter to school and doctor’s appointments.

In her winning essay, Henderson wrote, “Winning this contest would exponentially reduce the amount of stress I am dealing with because not only would my family and I feel safer on the roads, but I could concentrate more on school and worry less about picking up the kids….If I win this contest, it would be the first car I’ve actu-ally owned in my name, which is pretty exciting.”

Students from all over the state entered the contest, which was sponsored by Toyota of Southern Maryland dealership owners Pe-ter D’Artista and John Peed, and theBAYNET.com.

St. Mary’s County to Sponsor Household Hazardous Waste Day Event

St. Mary’s County is sponsoring an annual House-hold Hazardous Waste Day (HHW) Day Event on Octo-ber 25, 2008, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the St. Andrews Landfill, 44825 St. Andrews Church Road, California, Maryland, 20619.

Many common household products contain hazardous substances. These products become household hazardous waste (HHW) after the con-sumer no longer has any use for them. The average U.S. household generates more than 20 pounds of HHW per

year. As much as 100 pounds can accumulate in the home, often remaining there until the residents move or do an extensive clean out.

County residents are en-couraged to clean out their barns, basements, sheds, ga-rages, etc. and take advantage of the opportunity to properly discard the toxics that have been lurking in and around their homes. These toxins in-clude pharmaceuticals, disin-fectants, paint (all kinds),

stains and polish, solvents and thinners, caustic clean-ers (for toilets, tile masonry, ovens, etc.), pool chemicals, lawn care chemicals, pet care chemicals, pesticides, fungi-cides and herbicides, batter-ies (all kinds), thermometers, thermostats, fluorescent light bulbs (all contain mercury), aerosol cans, old gasoline, kerosene, and other fuels (even mixed with water) will be collected.

More information is avail-able by visiting the County’s Solid Waste/Recycling Web-site at www.stmarys.md.com or by calling the Department of Public Works & Transpor-tation at (301) 863-8400.

The 4-D ultrasound also made headlines in recent years for its ability to show expectant parents live, moving images of their develop-ing baby. O’Quinn showed the equipment to guests at an Imaging Department open house at St. Mary’s Hospital on October 13.

CORNER S

Can you name the slowest mov-ing mammal on earth? Hint: It sleeps almost all day while hanging up-side-down from tree branches. If you guessed the sloth, you’re right! These guys are funny looking with their flat heads, large eyes, small ears, a short snout, and a very short tail, or none at all. But it’s their strange lifestyle that makes the sloth one fascinating creature.

Sometimes people compare a lazy person to a sloth. That’s not a fair comparison because sloths are not lazy. They are slow-moving and slug-gish because they have a low meta-bolic rate and low body temperature of 91° F. So, they need very little food and water to sustain them. Because these guys are so sedentary, colonies of tiny green algae have time to grow on the sloth’s thick brown coat, leav-ing it with a greenish cast. The algae provides a natural camouflage, which helps to keep the animal safe from predators. And the sloth gets some nutrients by licking the algae.

These shy, solitary mammals spend most of their lives hanging up-side-down from tree branches. The phrase, “just hangin’ around” per-fectly describes the slow-poke sloth. They eat, sleep, mate, and even give birth hanging upside-down. Thanks to their long legs and huge, strong, curved claws on both front and hind feet, living upside-down is no big deal for these very relaxed dudes. At times,

they are completely motion-less when wide awake. Other times, they’ll travel along at about six and one-half feet per minute, which is prob-ably considered a breakneck speed for a sloth.

Being arboreal (living in trees), sloths often stay in the same tree for years “walking” upside-down along the tree branches. They come down to the ground occasionally and when they do, are vulnerable to predators like jaguars and harpy eagles. Sloths have weak hind legs and their long front claws hinder them from walk-ing. They have to dig into the earth with their claws and use their front legs to pull themselves along, drag-ging their stomachs across the ground. If caught, they can only defend them-selves by biting or clawing.

Sloths are nocturnal creatures and are only active at night. Their prima-ry food consists of leaves and young shoots, which provide very little ener-gy. They sleep during the day curled up like a big ball, head between their arms with feet drawn close together. It’s a great way to snooze because this position makes them look like part of the tree, which is a good thing since these guys sleep from 15 to 20 hours a day. Sometimes, a drowsy sloth will fall out of a tree and into a river be-low. But unlike their clumsiness on land, the sloth’s long, strong arms make them pretty good swimmers.

The sloth’s habitat is the tropi-cal rainforest canopies of South and Central America. In the wild, these animals can live up to about 30 years. Females give birth to a single baby each year, and the newborn clings to its mother for about nine months. At adulthood, sloths weigh around eight to ten pounds. There are two species of sloth: the two-toed and the three-toed. Like many wild animals, this curious creature is also on the endan-gered species list.
