Hornets Go Down in Regional Championship, 98-77

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer For once all season, the Great Mills Hornets boys basketball team went into a game the underdogs. Facing Largo High School (24-0) - arguably the best public school team in the Metropolitan area - in the 3A South Region championship Saturday, the Hornets knew they would have their hands full. Weve seen them play and we knew that they were quick, said Great Mills Head Coach Frank Peck. You dont really get a feel for it until you play them, and when you play them you realize that they have that speed and the ability to sustain their intensity for the entire game. Still, the Hornets took the floor at Wise High in Upper Marlboro with confidence. In the first quarter, 6-5 center Trae Jacobs, who was matched up against Largos 6-11 center Maurice Sutton, was nearly unstoppable. He scored 12 of Great Mills 16 first quarter points, grabbed five rebounds and had two steals and one block, while Sutton struggled both offensively and defensively. We came in well prepared and I thought we came in very confident and ready to play hard, Peck said. The question was were we going to be able to play smart and under control. And we did that. While Largo missed several attempts at alley-oops - including one off the glass - the Hornets took advantage, but still found themselves down 18-16 after the first period of play. Its a regional championship game, said Largo Head Coach Lewis Howard. They didnt come from Great Mills to lay down. We knew we were going to have a ball game. A layup by Hornet guard B.J. Brown and a Jonny Dickerson putback gave the Hornets the lead momentarily. Largo responded with a quick fastbreak score, which Dickerson matched on the other end on a backdoor layup. But Largos Kwame Morgan connected on a threepointer while getting fouled. He sunk the foul shot to make it a four-point play and sparked a run that would put Largo up 4334 at halftime. In that time, Jacobs picked up his third foul and was forced to sit out the rest of the first half. See Hornets Go Down page B-4

Bouncing Back With Hope

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Despite suffering a 92-76 loss to Hood College in the Capital Athletic Conference playoffs, the Seahawks of Saint Marys College are bouncing back with strong goals for next season: winning the league and going to the tournament, according to Head Coach Chris Harney. It didnt take long for players to set these goals, Harney said. All they talked about on the bus ride home from Hood was getting ready for next year. The Seahawks (16-11 overall) finished the 2007 season with their best record in seven years. They also defeated every team in the league at least once, except Catholic University. Next year, Harney says he expects the team to win 20 plus games, including the CAC championship. I cant imagine the last time people at St. Marys were talking about going to the tournament, Harney said. This goal should be attainable considering the Hawks return their top three scorers and graduate just two seniors. Second team All-CAC selection, guard Tyson Lesesne, will be back to lead the Seahawks next year for his senior campaign. See Seahawks page B-2

Largo Topples Lady Hornets

By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer The Lady Lions of Largo used an 18-2 third quarter run to escape with the 3A South Region title, 57-43, over Great Mills Saturday at Wise High. Despite the third quarter offensive drought, the Hornets matched Largos level of play, even outscoring the Lions 9-12 in the second quarter and 14-11 in the fourth. I thought we played a great game, Hornets Head Coach

Brian Weisner said. It was just the third quarter, we had good shots, we had good looks, we just werent able to knock them down. We came out strong and intense but just coming into the second half we had a mental lapse, forward Ashley Lindsey said. They got a 10-0 run on us, we tried to turn it around into something positive but I guess See Lady Hornets page B-2

McDowell Heads to NCAA Championships

Since transferring from the University of Richmond to St. Marys College this past fall, Brie McDowell has pretty much rewritten the whole Seahawk womens swimming record book. And she isnt finished yet. McDowell left Wednesday to make the trip to Houston, TX, to compete in the 2007 NCAA Division III Womens Swimming Championships hosted by the University of Houston. The NCAA Championships is a threeday event that will take place Mar. 8-11 and features 60 Division III institutions with over 200 competitors from across the nation. Entering the championships, McDowell is seeded third in the 100 backstroke, fourth in the 200 backstroke, and 10th in the 200 IM. The seeding is based on the swimmers fastest time of the year in each event. McDowell swam four NCAA qualifying times this season two automatic (A) cuts in the 100 and 200 backstroke and two provisional (B) cuts in the 100 freestyle and 200 IM. McDowell has had nothing short of a remarkable season in her first year as a Seahawk and it hasnt gone unnoticed. At the 2007 Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Swimming Championships held Feb. 9-11, she was voted by the CAC coaches as the conferences Female Swimmer of the Year after setting championship meet records in the 100 and 200 backstroke as well as the 200 IM. The sophomore was named St. Marys See McDowell page B-2

one. Forward Corleda Naylor Lady Hornets scored two consecutive basContinued from page B- it didnt necessarily work this time. Although the third quarter was one-sided, the two teams went shot for shot in the first half. Lindsey carried the Hornets through the first quarter. She pulled down an offensive rebound and scored a layup in the first 15 seconds of the game and a minute later, broke Largos defense with a strong spin move to the basket for two more points. She finished the first period with eight points and six boards. Down 19-15 after the first quarter, Great Mills got all of their players involved offensively and cut Largos lead to kets, while Shawnese Taylor, Shamara Adams and Jalecia King all added buckets as well. In the first half we knocked all our shots down and they were knocking their shots down, Weisner said. Thats why it was neck and neck the whole way through the first half. Largo managed to get a hand in the passing lane defensively and forced Great Mills to turn the ball over on one play after another in the third quarter. They also clogged up the lane and controlled the offensive boards, creating scoring opportunities. Offensively, [Largo] made some better shots, Weisner said. I didnt think they did anything different offensively. They got some open looks and they attacked the basket well. A lot of their points came off of turnovers on our end, so they picked up their defensive intensity. I dont think it was so much what they did, it was so much of what we did, King said. When one thing goes wrong, everybodys head just drops and that is a problem, and thats one thing that we have to work on Weve got to try to keep each other up, and if we dont keep each other up, stuff like that happens; we dont cover our man, we dont communicate with each other, and I dont blame anybody but ourselves. Largo also had four players in double figures, while the Hornets only had one (Lindsey 13 points). I tried to look at it as another AAU game, Lindsey said. We play girls like this, better than this all the time. I tried to look at it like an AAU game, but I guess that wasnt enough. The situation wasnt anything different than weve been in before. While the Hornets tried to close the gap on Largo, the flow of the game was disrupted repeatedly by the officials, who had technical difficulties involving the game clock and the shot clock. The game was even stopped for minutes at a time while officials tried to sort out the problem. This only added to the struggle for Great Mills, who couldnt get any momentum going. That was the worst part of our game, Weisner said. We were flat after that and they got a little bit of momentum there. You cant control that, you have to be able to play through those things. After struggling through the third, Great Mills bounced back and outscored Largo 1411 in the last eight minutes of play, but the fourth quarter effort came too late. I thought they played hard throughout, Weisner said. We just didnt make our shots in the third quarter and then thats going to hurt you the rest of the way out. We had good shots, they just didnt go in. Thats going to happen some nights. Despite being eliminated from a chance at the state title, the Lady Hornets were pleased with their effort throughout the season, which included a 22-3 record and a SMAC Championship. Even getting to this point - its a very great experience, Lindsey said. We havent

group of girls to be around, they worked hard, they worked together. You cant ask for anything else.

Seahawks
Continued from page B- Lesesne averaged 18.6 points per game this season on 51.8 percent shooting from the field. He scored double digits in 25 of 27 games, including back-to-back 30 plus point performances. The 61 Edgewood native also led the team in steals (49,) three point shooting (46 percent,) and free-throw shooting (81 percent.) The Seahawks also have four new players committed to play next season in what Harney calls possibly one of the best recruiting classes weve had. Meanwhile, Hood will lose two of their best players, including guard Justin Junghans, who scored 31 points on the Seahawks in their fi-

nal game of the season. They will, however, hold onto 6-8 center Jesse Gutekunst, who scored 29 points against St. Marys. Although Hood escaped with a big win, the final score was not a reflection of the Seahawks effort. They stayed close all game and even held a slim lead at the 13:51 mark of the second half. Then, Hood had a run where they really attacked the basket and we didnt play well defensively, so thats how they got that 10-point lead...they took it to us when they needed to, Harney said. In the final minutes of the game, the Seahawks, who were already in foul trouble, were forced to foul even more, allowing Hood to increase the lead. Lesesne was the leading

scorer for St. Marys with 21 points. He nailed a buzzerbeating three at the end of the first half and then scored the next four points of the second. Center Alex Irmer was close behind Lesesne with 20 points and 11 rebounds, while senior guard Valdez Preston contributed 14. All in all it was a very good season, Harney said. At the end of the season you can take a step back and look at the big picture and see that we made a huge step. And Im most proud of the players for buying into my system. They play to win and they play with class. The Seahawks will carry that positive energy right into next season, added Harney. Well go back to doing what got us here in the first place busting our butts, he said.

tire thing off, erasing the score and time from the scoreboard to reset everything, which took at least five minutes. The problems also seemed to occur at very inopportune moments for Great Mills right after scoring a basket or just when they were about to get some momentum going. Hornets Coach Brian Weisner said the clock malfunction issue was the worst part of our game. We were flat after that and they got a little bit of momentum there. You cant control that, you have to be able to play through those things. This is not an issue that players, who have worked so hard to get to the playoffs, should have to worry about or deal with. Great Mills already had their plate full in trying to beat Largo, the last thing they needed was trying to beat the clock as well. On one particular play, Hornets guard Shamara Adams broke through Largos defensive full court press and past the line at midcourt, but referees blew the whistle because the clock was not functioning correctly. The Hornets had to start the play over from underneath Largos basket, and this time around, the Lions stole the ball and scored an easy layup. This is not to make any excuses for Great Mills loss. After all, Largo did win the game by 14 points, and I doubt the clock problems could have made that big of a difference in the final score. But basketball is a game of momentum, and when you cant build it, its certainly hard to win games. When I first stepped foot in the s t a t e - of - t h e - a r t

gymnasium at Wise High School in Upper Marlboro, I thought I was in a college facility. The building is far nicer than any high school basketball gym I have ever seen (the outside looks like a shopping mall). With all the fancy equipment and money thrown into that place, it seems like clock malfunctions should be the least of their worries. Perhaps there was an inexperienced person behind the control board, in which case, the league needs to realize that the official controlling the scoreboard is an extension of the referee on the court. The scorekeeping job carries a lot of responsibilities, especially in a game as important as this one. Maybe this kind of problem would be acceptable in an early-season game, but not in the Regional Championship! The league needs to be more organized and make sure that this kind of problem doesnt occur in future games.

Trying to Beat the Clock
By Andrew Knowlton Staff Writer Its a shame that the Great Mills girls basketball team had to lose the way they did in the 3A South Region championship against Largo. Dont get me wrong, Largo played a great game. They are a great team with a lot of speed and a lot of size. But if you were one of the hundreds of fans in the gym at Wise High School on Saturday, you know exactly why I say this. The game was stopped about a half dozen times because officials were having problems with the game clock and the shot clock. There was too much time on the clock, not enough time on the clock, the clock wouldnt start, the clock wouldnt stop At one point, they even turned the en-

Newspapers Offer a Pulse on the Community

Since the dawn of the Internet era people have said that newspapers would follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs and become extinct. However, over the last decade, newspapers have held their own against rival online competitors and television media. This is likely because newspapers offer advantages over the two, mainly in the form of an unsurpassed local connection. While the public may look to television or the Internet first for breaking news stories, most come back to their local newspaper to read through the in-depth coverage of a specific event, largely because newspapers can devote the time and energy to relay a detailed story. And though many people are interested in national events, a large percentage of newspaper readers are looking for the events that are unique to their communities. They find stories printed by local newspapers will offer the details and local flavor that other media outlets may not be able to provide. Local newspapers also serve as the ultimate community bulletin. Where else (besides town hall or at local houses of worship) can readers find such a complete listing of sales, recreational activities, police beat and the activities that govern the community? Although the newest presidential tax plan is relevant, wouldnt a proposed local road repair plan that would be detouring traffic around Main Street reported on by the paper be of more immediate importance? This is information likely not obtained by broadcast television or online. Another area where newspapers offer an advantage is in the realm of recruitment advertising and career services. Most people looking for a job prefer to stay within a close radius to home, which would make seeking out jobs posted in a local paper a smart first step. While there may be thousands of listings offered by online job sites, will they really be relevant to local readers and cover the areas in which you hope to be employed? Probably not. Therefore, time may be wasted weeding through online postings unnecessarily. Your local newspaper can also be a good avenue for researching careerbuilding workshops or job fairs at nearby colleges. Perhaps the most viable proof that newspapers will continue to be useful to future generations is the fact that teenagers, one of the most influential demographics, do read the newspaper. According to a USA WEEKEND survey of more than 65,000 American teenagers, kids not only read them, but they find them relevant and reliable. Newspapers remain a good source of information on sports, entertainment and recreation, which makes them appealing to todays teenagers. And many teens admit that while they may turn to newspapers initially to find out game scores or celebrity gossip, many are also hooked on the news coverage provided and enjoy staying abreast of current events. To make newspapers an invaluable part of the community, residents of cities and towns across the country can take these steps: Teachers can make current-events assignments an integral part of classroom activities. Encourage students to look to the newspaper and clip out stories of interest to report on. Newspaper publishers can take an active role in the community by sponsoring charity events, educational programs and hosting student interns. Families can work together to not only foster knowledge of local events gained through the newspaper, but to improve reading, vocabulary and reading comprehension as well. Take breaks from the computer, TV and video games and organize an hour or two devoted to reading. Take advantage of sales advertised in the paper and clip coupons for area merchants. This will help you save money and also boost the local economy.
