First-Year Varsity Football Team Anxious to Take the Field
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN - Excitement and hard work are the main ingredients going into the mix for St. Marys Ryken High Schools first varsity football campaign. Head Coach Bob Harmon feels the two will pay off with success in the near future. Were going to put a good, sound product on the field, Harmon declared of these new Knights, who take the field for the first time Friday night at Annapolis Area Christian at Annapolis High School. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Our kids are going to play hard, he added. Weve got a group of kids who want to be out there.

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN Four different coaches in the three previous seasons and just two wins in that span is a tough situation to step into for any high school football coach. For Leonardtowns Anthony Pratley, the challenge of improving the Raiders football program has been exhausting but fulfilling. Rome wasnt built in a day, so its going to take some time, Pratley said of the rebuilding process before prac-
tice last Wednesday afternoon. The key in all of this is the kids - theyve bought into our system and they believe they can win now. We got the ship in the right direction last year, said senior safety Nick Corey. Now its up to us to make sure it doesnt go back in the wrong direction. For one three-week stretch in 2007, including homecoming, thats all the Raiders knew. The three-game winning streak, capped by a 3021 victory over Calvert High School Oct. 19, was the longest such streak for the team

Plays like this will give Leonardtown various options on the offensive side of the ball in 2008.
Mike Hebb, who led the Southern Maryland Athletic conference in rushing yards in 2007. Hebb, along with quarterback Bruce Julian and receiver Kenny Aicher, will be tough losses for Leonardtown to overcome, but Pratley feels it can be done, with a unique offense to help the Raiders move forward. The Pistol Spread Option Offense, a creation of the head coach and his staff, lines up four wide receivers at all times, with options to pass to the left or the right, as well as running plays in either direction. With a DVD produced to teach the techniques and high schools in 12 other states picking it up, the Pistol Spread Option will give the Raiders a flexibility Pratley feels they lacked last year.
Will understands the system a little more because he ran it on JV last season, Pratley said. Hes got a good arm, great vision and intelligence. Will brings a lot to the table. Pagliarulo will no doubt be looking to Copenhaver to catch many of his passes, especially since Pratley feels Copenhaver brings big-play ability to the field. Im definitely looking forward to stepping up and helping the offense, said Copenhaver, who opened the 2007 season with an 80yard touchdown catch against Thomas Stone. Defensively, the Raiders will count on Corey and Ben Lynch at the safety position along with defensive end Eric Giddings to shut down their

opponents. After allowing an average of more than 40 points per game in their first four outings last year, the Raiders cut back to just 20 points per game in the final six games, including a shutout of Great Mills that started their winning streak. Equipped with an identity and a positive attitude, Raider football is heading the right direction under Pratley, but he modestly credits everyone around him for the improvements. Honestly, I had nothing to do with it, he insisted. Its all the coaching staff, the
community; Ive had parents ask how can we help? Nick Corey believes Pratley has much more of a role in the teams success than he lets on. Hes a great role model, a good person to look up to, Corey said. Hes a great person to ask for advice, it makes you respect him and want to play for him. Pratley, for his part, just expects improvement as the season wears on. If I can sum it up one word, thats it, he said. Hopefully as time goes on, well eventually be at the top.

Kyte will have the option of handing the ball off to the versatile Mike Labanowski (who aside from running the ball, punts and plays in the secondary on defense for Chopticon) or Jimmy OGrady, a second-team all Southern Maryland Athletic Conference selection at linebacker last season who has proven capable of carrying the ball. Kyte also hopes to spread out opponents more in the passing game, and hell have weapons such as tight end Joey Yates and wide receiver Glen Thompson to throw to. On the offensive line, the Braves return two key members of their five-man line; Jordan Butler and Travis Popielarcheck, two players Lisanti considers very important to Chopticons offensive success. The Brave defense is led by eight returning starters, including senior safety Doug Rollins, 2007s SMAC leader in interceptions with seven, as well as topping the Braves tackle list with 93.
Its nice to have a guy like Doug back there, because he pulls the defense together, Lisanti says. He is, however, concerned about the depth on D which is lacking as opposed to other SMAC schools, but feels his team will succeed because of two things hard work and respect for one another. Weve got a good core of seniors who like each other and are willing to work, Lisanti

Junior defensive lineman Derrick Pettet feels the Hornets will be better of this year because we have guys who are ready to work.
Hornets coach Bill Griffith oversees the first practice of the season. He feels improved conditioning will aid Great Mills this coming season.
Weve got a very young team not many seniors but weve got some talented kids that are in their third year with me in the program, so well see what can happen this year, Griffith said, his voice full of positive energy. Leading that talented bunch will be a pair of juniors who are charged with the job of holding down the offensive and defensive lines respectively. Protecting the Great Mills running backs along with Jenner - who will replace the graduated Christian Rosado under center - falls on the huge shoulders of tackle Aaron Rodenizer, a second-team all SMAC

Hes pushed our football players in the weight room to get better and stronger, Griffith said. When they open their season one week from Friday at home against Northern, Bill Griffith hopes that 2007 will not be on the Hornets minds when the 7 p.m. kickoff rolls around.

Martin will be paired with Kevin Glass in the secondary, while up front, junior linebacker Brian Frank is someone Harmon describes as a hustler on D with potential to further his career after high school.

season on the junior varsity. While being protected by offensive linemen Jake Cook and Ned Arick, Rickseys two primary targets from the wide receiver position will be senior John Sherman and junior Wayne Hicks, who caught nine of Rickseys passes for scores in 2007. Weve been playing together for the past three years, Hicks said of his connection with Ricksey on the field. Chris has real leadership skills and I think were going to do good this season. Ryken will not play a full Washington Catholic Athletic Conference schedule this season, as they see just four conference opponents in 2008, but will have plenty of chances to learn what it takes to be a winning team. All their games will be on the road, but that will not be a problem for the team. Were used to traveling, Glass said. We just accept it and do what we have to get done on the field. Weve dealt with [not having a home field] freshman year.
Next season, however, will be a different story as Ryken is preparing to break ground on a 1,200 seat stadium that will be a suitable and spacious home for the football team as well as the lacrosse, field hockey and soccer teams that the school fields. Weve got a great administration that wants us to succeed, Harmon said of the support the team has received from administrators and fans. Principal Rick Wood would profile as both. The varsity program is a big step for us, Wood commented in regards to the growth of Ryken athletics Were very excited and pleased with the coaching staff and the program that coach Harmon has put together. With the enthusiasm and the excitement in place, the waiting game will soon end, and kickoff will come to what St. Marys Ryken hopes will be a successful football program. We want to show that we are here to stay and that we can play in the WCAC, John Sherman said.

The Raiders share a family chemistry that plays a huge part in their success. We are a small family, says coach Steve Correll.
Senior middle hitter Randi Serman feels that teamwork and strong hitting will help the Braves improve on last years five-win record.

cessful yet. Sirk also said her girls are involved in any number of offseason leagues and programs, depending on where they live in the county some girls play here in St. Marys County, but others have participated in Calvert and Charles County leagues as well. Even with the stiff SMAC competition and the loss of one of their best athletes, the Braves feel 2008 can be a successful year for them if they stay consistent and do two things. If we work hard and have fun, Randi Serman stated, then well have a good season.
going to be ready for them this year. Making it all the more painful was the fact that the Raiders had at least four match points in the fifth and deciding set before Broadneck came away with the 17-15 victory and a trip to the Class 4A state playoffs. Both teams were tentative, but that was still one of the greatest matches Ive been a part of, Correll said. Weve got to be able to finish matches this season. Despite losing six seniors to graduation, the coach is confident in the returning group of starters, led by senior middle hitter Casey Bell. We have a great group of girls coming in, but that senior

Leonardtown came into pre-season practice in great shape. Said senior Michael Hageman, we have a reputation to keep up.
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN With four straight Southern Maryland Athletic Conference championships to the Leonardtown Cross Country teams credit, and enough talent to win a fifth, Raiders head coach Jamie Copsey prefers his team to see the bigger picture for the upcoming season. We want to do better and place a little higher on the state level, Copsey said. Well have to see what happens. A Class 4A state title is something Michael Hageman, one of many key returning athletes for the Raiders, feels might not be there immediately, but the Raiders can and will shoot for it anyway. We should be contenders regardless, he said. Were a little better this year than in years past. The Raiders won both boys and girls conference championships in 2007 and edged out Severna Park High School by a point for the 4A East regional championship, a victory Copsey hoped his team viewed as a learning experience. I think its good for the kids to know that every point counts, that they really do have to push the entire race, Copsey said, noting that just one push by a Severna Park runner would have been a two point difference and enough to cost the Raiders the regional title. It makes it fun. The Raiders should have another fun season with the boys team returning veterans such as seniors Hageman and Matt Oechesel, and junior Jessica Gass, whos working through a hamstring pull on the girls side. Experience on the boys team will be a plus for Copsey, but the youth on the girls team is a concern for him.

Leonardtown coach Jamie Copsey isnt putting any pressure on the Raiders to win their fifth consecutive SMAC championship.
some pressure, Hageman admitted, but we just plan to take the season one race at a time. Gass feels that the cross-country teams tradition of excellence will be carried on by the 2008 team. [We have] a really good group of seniors left, so we feel like we have to follow in their footsteps, she said. From the coachs standpoint, he doesnt see a reason to push heavy expectations on his team before the season begins. Its not something I bring up at all, Copsey said of winning a fifth straight conference title. The kids know what weve done in the past, and as long as theyre giving me their best effort, then the rest will take care of itself.
small price to pay for what she hopes is a big reward for her and her teammates this season. We were disappointed in that loss, so itll be a motivator for us, Bell said. We want to be high up on the totem pole, and I think we have the potential to be champions. In order to be champions, the Raiders will have to navigate their way through a tough Southern Maryland Athletic Conference schedule, one Correll feels is highlighted by programs in the neighboring county to the north. You cant count out any of the Calvert county schools, he said. Northern is well-coached. They have a lot of returners this season, and theyre going to be tough to beat, Correll said You cant count out any of the Calvert schools because they are all well-coached and have a great feeder program. Even with fierce competition from all SMAC schools, Leonardtown feels they have one major strength that will work in their favor once the season gets underway later next week. We were like a small family last year, Correll explained of the tight-knit bond his team shares. We looked out for each other, we did a lot of things on and off the court together. It helps a lot, Bell said of the family atmosphere. We hang out a lot off the court and at each others houses. Its a big deal when it comes to team sports, knowing that your teammates have your back. Our biggest strength is definitely our team.

ful finish The [returning runners] are a major factor, Schmidt emphasized because they know the course and they know how hard it is. The course where the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship meet is held each year, Lake Fairfax in Northern Virginia, is described fondly by Schmidt with rocks and sinking mud as just a couple of major obstacles as being a true cross country course. With the potential for stumbling blocks and pitfalls on that course at a high level, Christie feels the Knights will not only be junior and senior strong, but an eager group of underclassmen will aid the charge to the championship as
well. I think weve got a good, strong group of enthusiastic freshmen, sophomores he stated. I think we can do well in the conference tournament. Mienhardt, who leads a deeper group on the girls side than Ryken has had in previous seasons, feels the competitive drive and desire is what will be the Knights calling card this season. I think the hard work and pushing each other to do better will show in our meets, she said. With the WCAC championship in the hands of Good
Counsel High School, and with several other talented teams in the conference on their heels, the Knights will attempt to break into that group to challenge the Falcons for the league trophy. While this is something MacLain Christie is not ready to predict or guarantee, he feels Ryken has the talent to make it interesting. Realistic might be a stretch, Christie cautiously admitted about the possibility of winning it all. But were competing with the top four teams, so we still have a good chance to reasonably place.
