Lady Hornets Sting Again

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer One point in the third quarter. Thats all the Great Mills Lady Hornets allowed La Plata in Tuesdays second round game of the 3A Regional Playoffs. After a first round bye, the Hornets downed La Plata 51-18 to cruise into the third round. They will face the winner of the game between Friendly and Lackey Thursday tonight at home. The Warriors hung with Great Mills through most of the first half and were down just nine points going into the break. [La Plata] came out ready to play, they played real hard, Hornets head coach Brian Weisner said. There was no quitting. We did some things well at times and then we went away from the things we were doing well. Great Mills stayed ahead in the first half due to strong play from their guards and good rebounding across the board. Tyneisha Baker and Shamara Adams controlled the floor offensively in the first two quarters to lead the Hornets. Baker finished the game with six points, four rebounds, and Adams recorded seven points and five boards. We needed to come out there and work hard so that we can prepare ourselves for our next game, Baker said. I think we did good but we needed to communicate just a little bit more because at times we didnt know who we had and thats when they score and our coach has been stressing to us that most times when teams score its because we dont know who we have. In the second half, the communication stepped up, as did the offensive and defensive production. Forward Ashley Lindsey came in and provided the energy the Hornets needed. She did a great job on the boards, she attacked the basket well, Weisner said. Those are just things you expect a two year varsity player to do, especially in the playoffs. I just picked it up, took it to the hole, Lindsey said. I was like, if I can do it at the drill hall, why cant I do it here? So I stepped it up. Lindsey ended up with 15 points, 17 rebounds and four steals. But she was not the only Hornet grabbing rebounds, according to Weisner There wasnt one person that didnt rebound the basketball well, he said. See Lady Hornets page B-2

Great Mills Defeats Warriors

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer After 16 minutes of back and forth basketball with La Plata Monday night in the second round of playoffs, the Great Mills Hornets found their touch and flattened the Warriors 64-39. The Hornets, a two-seed in the playoffs, faced La Plata at home after enjoying a first round bye. But the Warriors, who defeated Chopticon by 23 points in the first round, came out firing. Despite falling behind 7-0 early in the game, La Plata scored the next eight points and gave Great Mills trouble throughout the first half. With their size advantage, the Warriors were able to get the ball down low and score easy points in the paint. What [La Plata] did in the first half is they did a good job of dribble penetrating and when the help defense came in they found the right guy, the guys inside, and they were converting inside, head coach Frank Peck said. With senior guard Cody Kohn riding the bench after picking up two early fouls, the Hornets had to rely on their other guards to lead the way. We have so many guys to step up, Peck said. Cody is a big part of us, hes a big catalyst for us, but I thought the rest of the guards stepped up and did a good job on both ends of the floor. I just go in and do my job, added guard Sid Ridley, who scored nine points in the game. Scoring is not my main job, but if that comes, then thats alright. Will Smith also stepped up, scoring 14 points on the night. Guard B.J. Brown filled in some holes down low, grabbing eight boards and adding six points. Still, La Plata was able to keep up with Great Mills, and a buzzer-beating layup by the Warriors tied the score at 21 going into halftime. The Hornets regrouped during the break and discussed what they needed to change in order to win. We got together as a team during halftime and said that this could be our last game and we didnt want it to be our last game, said Ridley. If we kept playing as we played [in the first half] it could be the end, so we had to step it up, added guard D.J. Johnson. See GM Boys page B-2

Raiders Pace County Teams in First State Swim Meet

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer In the first event of the first Maryland State Swim meet in history, the Leonardtown Raiders 200 medley relay team of Caitlin Branaman, Davi Clark, Justine Cavnor and Brittany Culpepper defeated the best teams in the state and earned the very first gold medal of the competition. Its pretty great, said Cavnor. We were so scared [before the race]. We wanted to make everyone proud of us. Its very exciting, said Raiders head coach Megan Shelton. Its almost a relief that they won because they came in seeded first and everything was very tight. Participating in the first state meet in history was a thrill in itself, according to Culpepper. We were really excited, she said. We were really pumped even though it was 5:30 in

the morning. The team brought that enthusiasm from Leonardtown all the way to the University of Maryland - where the competition was held - and threw it into the pool right away. The Raiders, led off by Branaman and anchored by Culpepper, edged out Severna Park by .73 seconds. It makes you go faster when you know another swimmer is right behind you, Cavnor said. For Clark, who swam second on the relay team, winning a state championship is nothing new, but is just as exhilarating as the first time. She was part of the Leonardtown soccer team that defeated Quince Orchard for the 2006 state title. Its been amazing, she said. Both have been a team efforttheres more pressure in swimming because its closer, but they are both really fun. Severna Park went on to win the overall championship by 49.5 points, and although

the Raiders didnt win any other individual races, they placed fifth out of 25 teams with 180 points. Weve been prepping for this meet all season long, said Shelton. We knew this was where wed meet a lot of competition. Individually, Cavnor had a strong day for Leonardtown with a fifth place finish in the 50 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. Culpepper racked up 31 points, placing third in the 500 freestyle and fourth in the 100 freestyle. Branaman also finished fourth in the 100 backstroke for 15 points.

The Raider boys were also the top St. Marys County team in the state meet as they came in 11th out of 22 teams. Senior Jackson Webb led the way, taking fourth in the 100 butterfly and fifth in the 200 IM. Great Mills, in just their third year of having a swim team, sent several strong competitors to the meet as well. The boys team, minus John Kitner who dislocated his shoulder at the regional meet, placed 15th with 46 points. I think the team did very well for the situation were in, said sophomore Andrew Kelly.

fouls on them and we just went out, got fastbreaks and scored points, said Ridley. Late in the third, Jacobs pulled down an offensive board and put it back up for two. Ridley followed that with a long swish from behind the arc, giv-

ing the Hornets a 37-29 advantage. By the end of the third period, Great Mills had outscored La Plata 20-8. Eventually, once we got a good size lead, we knew [La Plata was] going to have to start shooting jump shots, and that negates their size advantage, Peck said. Several players stepped up for Great Mills in the fourth quarter as they continued to extend the lead. Johnson came off the bench and provided big numbers for the Hornets. He created offensive opportunities by making big plays on defense, according to Peck. He was a big spark for us tonight defensively, Peck said. He did a very good job rebounding, got some deflections on the defensive end and really gave us some energy inside. That was great to see. I knew when Cody got in [foul] trouble, I was going to have to step up because hes one of our leading scorers, so I knew I just had to go in and do what I got to, Johnson said. In just a short period of time, Johnson scored 10 points, pulled down five rebounds and had three steals. Forward Chris Branch also provided some energy off the bench in the fourth quarter, scoring six quick points and grabbing four boards. It demonstrates that we are a pretty deep team at this point in the season, Peck said. We have guys that can come in and give you six to eight points and if you have three or four guys that give you six to eight points, then you dont need somebody to score 18. The Hornets (21-2) outscored La Plata 46-18 in the second half to advance to the third round of the regional playoffs. They faced Northern last night but results were unavailable at press time. The Patriots went into the game after beating Lackey 53-51 on the road. As they have all season, the Hornets will focus on their next opponent. Were trying to take it one game at a time and maybe well end up at states, said Ridley.

In girls basketball, you get a lot of points off offensive rebounds. Holding the Warriors to just 18 points was an exciting accomplishment as well, according to Lindsey.

Three Notch Theater Goes With Odds on Favorite

By Bryan Jaffe Contributing Writer The Three Notch Theater will debut its second show of the 2007 season tomorrow night at 8 p.m. when Neil Simons modern Classic The Odd Couple hits the stage. Following Januarys Blithe Spirit, the Newtowne Players are sticking with the comedies, but this one is far more lighthearted than the dark humor of the last play. Best known for its five year run on ABC in the 1970s, the Odd Couple tells the story of two men who find themselves bachelors. Felix, a neurotic neat freak, moves in with his friend Oscar, who is as slobbish as Felix is neat. The ensuing chaos between the two will have the audience on the floor laughing for nearly the entire show. As the Odd Couple gets ready to go, the Three Notch Theater is still abuzz with activity. Morriah Cell, who directed the award winning short play Time Flies, which was named first runner up in a Maryland State theater competition in January, is directing another one act play. And plans are already underway to prepare for forthcoming productions like Tennessee Williams Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, set for August. The Odd Couple will run March 2 4, 8 11 and 15 18. Showtimes are 8 p.m. for all Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances, and 3:30 p.m. for Sunday Matinees. Tickets are $15 each. Seniors and Students receive a discounted rate of $12 and children under 12 are $10. There will be a special on Thursdays with all tickets costing $10. Doors open at 7 p.m. for evening shows and 2:30 for afternoon presentations.

world-class athlete who has a story so inspiring that it can get any couch potato away from the tube and on a treadmill for good. Patti Dillon, who running fans will remember as Patti Catalano, grew up in Quincy, a small community just south of Boston. Her father died when she was a teenager and she worked several jobs to help support her eight younger siblings. Things at home were not going well and Patti was thrown out of the house when she was 19. She decided to take a job as a nurse in the Quincy Hospital to support herself, but the obstacles in her life led her into depression. She dealt with her sadness by eating junk food and drinking beer. She also smoked two packs a day and was 40 pounds overweight. She knew she needed to make a change, and at the age of 23 she decided to start running because she read in a book that running was the best way to burn calories. Her first run was seven miles around a cemetery, and by the time she was finished her muscles were burning and aching. She knew she was on the right track. Six months later, Patti decided to try a marathon. She signed up for Rhode Islands Ocean State Marathon, and to her surprise, she came in first. At the time, she was still smoking two packs a day and eating doughnuts every morning for breakfast. But Patti enjoyed the attention she got from winning and quickly found a coach who taught her about diet and that running and smoking dont mix. She became one of the first women to start running 150 miles per week more miles than a lot of top-notch male distance runners will log. But the pressure became so great for Dillon to become the best that she developed the eating disorder bulimia, weighing barely over 100 pounds. After seeking help and resolving that issue, Patti hit the running scene with a bang. During her career, she held every American distance record from the five mile to the marathon and had the world record in the half marathon and the 30k. In 1981, her time of 2:27.51 in the Boston Marathon broke her own American record. Thats a 5:32 mile pace for 26.2 miles! She was also ranked the worlds best distance runner in 1980 and 1981.

Section B - 
Today, Dillon lives with her husband and two homeschooled children in Connecticut. Her husband, Dan Dillon, was also a tremendous runner, competing for the U.S. cross-country team tree times and racing several Olympic Trial races. By surrounding herself with positive influences, Patti was able to turn her life of depression into one of joy and happiness. So the next time youre even thinking about putting off that workout at the gym to watch another episode of Greys Anatomy, think of Patti Dillon and all the obstacles she conquered. You can always TiVo your favorite show, but those bad habits arent going anywhere unless you put in a little work.

efit of a 6th gear. The racetuned suspension provides a solid feel in tight corners and minimizes torque steer in a car that would otherwise be plagued by it. The 18 wheels do little to aide the overall comfort of the ride but lets be honest, you arent buying this car for comfort. For true sports car enthusiasts, Chevrolet offers an extensive collection of equipment upgrades available when you purchase your vehicle. This is a great avenue to take if you are looking for some extra horsepower but would prefer not to void out your factory warranty. Overall The 2007 Cobalt SS is a bred performer. Though built to fill its shoes, the Cobalt is an entirely different species than the lackluster Cavalier it has replaced. Specs:

By: Jesse Stump Contributing Writer If I was given a hundred words to describe a Chevy Cavalier, I know with absolute certainty the word fast would never cross my lips. In fact, Id probably be up somewhere in the 50s before I even said something nice. Im not saying that the Cavalier had an unsuccessful career after all, it was one of the best selling cars in the U.S. for the past two decades. I am however saying that from the time the Cavalier was introduced, it has been one of the most uninspiring vehicles on the

road. There. Now that Ive gotten that out of my system I can shift focus to the bright new future of the Cavaliers 2005 replacement the Chevy Cobalt. Walk Around While vaguely resembling the Cavalier in build, the Chevy Cobalt SS is an entirely different animal. The supercharged SS has an aggressive stance and comes standard with 18 aluminum wheels and low profile performance tires. An oversized rear-deck spoiler is also standard on this model, though you may

opt for the smaller and more subtle version if youre not the type to egg on teenagers at stoplights. Interior For a car that screams pocket rocket, the Chevy Cobalts interior is surprisingly refined. Black leather seating is standard on SS models along with your choice of either black or exterior-matching leather inserts. The model I drove had black on black leather and it gives the car a classier look than say the black on yellow might. Leg room is sufficient in the front two seats but anyone approaching

60 wont want to ride in the back very long. The dash and instrumentation are simple and easily accessible. The SS is equipped with titanium-faced gauges along with a small boost gauge located on the driver side a-pillar. The Cobalt is available with a sevenspeaker Pioneer sound system that includes a 10 subwoofer in the trunk and is XM Satellite Radio ready. This wasnt one of the loudest systems I have heard but it sounded pretty darn good. Test Drive The supercharged Cobalt

sports a power plant worthy of its SS branding. The 2.0 liter ECOTEC 4-cylinder produces 205hp and an impressive 200 lb.-ft. of wheel-spinning torque. Wheel spinning is just what I did as I merged out of Chevrolets parking lot with the boost gauge pinned at 12psi. As I quickly went through the gears and weaved through a bit of traffic I felt that rush of adrenaline you only experience in a car that can throw you back in your seat. The Cobalt SS is only offered with a 5-speed manual transmission, and though it shifts well, could use the ben-

Easy Ways To Save Some Money

While nearly everyone likes the notion of saving money, quite frankly, most people arent very good at it. While some have perfectly understandable reasons for not saving enough cash, the majority of people in a position to save still dont. Such a reality can make getting out of debt or getting that first home all the more difficult. For those ready and willing to save more money but struggling to find ways to do it, the following tips could help you get on the right track. Decide whats a need and whats a want. For many people, distinguishing between what they need and what they want is the biggest obstacle to saving money. Certain things definitely qualify as a necessity. Food, shelter and clothing are all tops on the need list. For those living outside of large cities or in more sprawling cities, an automobile is often a necessity as well. However, the type of clothing you buy and even the entirely new wardrobe each season and choosing a car that costs less to fill up and less per monthly payment can save you a substantial amount of money. While you might want that expensive luxury sedan, you likely dont need it. Open an interest-bearing account. Thanks to inflation, your money actually grows less valuable with each passing day if its not earning interest. Open a bank account that earns interest. Though it might not seem like much, the more you save the more interest youll earn and the more money youll have. Pay off debts. While some bills such as the monthly mortgage and car payment likely cannot be paid off, a great way to start saving money is to pay off those debts that can be eliminated. Credit cards, for instance, typically boast extraordinarily high interest rates, particularly for young people.

Thats not the case with other debts you might have accrued such as car loans, which often have far lesser interest rates than credit cards. Pay off any

credit card debt as soon and as quickly as possible, since those high interest rates are only making the mountain of debt grow taller. In addition,

avoid accruing any more debt on those same credit cards youve worked so hard to pay off.

Still, the 200 freestyle relay team comprised of Alex Staley, Andy Bogdan, Kelly, and Nick Keenan, managed to hold their time from Regionals and placed tenth overall, edging Leonardtown by .61 seconds. Without John, we didnt have a senior on the team, so itll be a good thing for next year. Kelly also placed seventh in the 100 backstroke, good for 12 team points. On the girls side, the Hornets placed 19th with 15 points. Junior Jackie Kitner scored five of those points on her own with her performances in the 200 freestyle and the 500 freestyle. Sophomore Rachel Bailer added four points with her swim in the 100 breaststroke. For Great Mills, competing in the first Maryland state meet was a great experience according to Kelly. Last year we had Regionals here but they were not as competitive and not as hard to get into, he said. So this year was good and everyone enjoyed it. Chopticon coach Robbie Davis had similar feelings about the meet. Its nice to be able to come and have a state championship finally, he said. Its been very exciting today. Although Chopticon placed 22nd on both the boys and girls side, the Braves had strong swims in several events and four of the relay teams that qualified set new team records. The 400 freestyle relay made up of Kelley Stanka, Chrisitna Dawson, Beca Molina and Caitlin Phalen earned four points, as did the 200 medley relay team, which was anchored by Kaitlin Sumperl. Weve seen a lot of improvement this year, Davis said. The womens team won an extra meet that they didnt win last year so overall it was a good season.

Chopticon Falls in First Round of Playoffs

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The Chopticon Braves saw their season slip into the hands of La Plata Friday night as the Warriors sparked a 237 third quarter run to knock Chopticon out of contention in the 3A South Region Playoffs. La Plata jumped out to a first quarter lead, scoring the first seven points of the game. Guard Roy Maddox got things started for the Braves with a steal and fast break layup, which was followed by a driving score by Glenn Thompson. La Plata went on another seven-point run before Maddox sunk two foul shots to end the first quarter trailing 14-7. Chopticon woke up after the Warriors opened the second period with a threepointer. Forward Glen White got on board with a driving layup, then stole a pass on the next possession, saved the ball from going out of bounds, and dished the ball to Thompson who scored and cut the lead to four. Forward Ivan Cerkez got into the action as well, pulling down an offensive board and putting it back up for two. Then Maddox nailed a three from the wing. Down by three with little time remaining in the half, guard Anthony Fenwick picked the pocket of La Platas point guard, sprinted up the court, drew contact in midair, and finished by making a tough left handed layup off the backboard. His foul shot tied the game at 25, but La Plata quickly answered with a layup of their own and held a 27-25 lead going into intermission. In the third quarter, the Warriors turned a slight lead into a commanding one. We were playing strong in the first half, said Thompson. We came out in the third quarter and started struggling a little bit and dug ourselves a deep hole and we had to fight our way out, but we couldnt do it. La Plata used their height advantage and scored a majority of their points inside the paint. Fenwick interrupted La Platas 14-0 run with a threepointer, but the Warriors still managed to close the third quarter ahead 50-32. [La Plata has] an athletic team, Fenwick said. Everyones like six-foot-five. They did a good job on boards. We werent boxing out, added Thompson. We would box out one person, then the other person would slide on the side. The whole team wasnt boxing out. According to Thompson, the team also had A lack of communication. We werent getting back on defense, we werent making shots, and we were missing a lot of layups. La Plata continued to control the boards and the paint in the fourth quarter as they extended their lead and cruised to a 64-41 first round playoff win. I think they just out-hustled us and wanted it more and we couldnt do anything about it, said Fenwick, who led the team with 10 points. Maddox and Thompson were close behind with nine points each. Although the Braves were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round, they saw a great deal of improvement throughout the course of the season, according to Thompson. At the beginning of the season, we didnt have any communication, he said. We were like a rotten apple. But towards the end of the season we started getting a little better. We could have won more games and we should have. Next year were going to win a lot more games. I think we stepped it up and started hustling more towards the end and then we realized we can compete with any team, no matter what their record was, added Fenwick. For Fenwick, the loss to La Plata was his last game in a Braves basketball jersey. He plans to graduate and play football for the University of West Virginia in the fall. Its bittersweet, he said. I know Im going to graduate, but Im going to miss playing for Chopticon.
