Raider Bakers Dozen Sparks Raiders Sports Girls 12-Goal First Period Dooms Chopticon Briefs Hold On For Key Victory
Adult Kickball League Meeting
By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LE ONA R DTOW N Chopticon girls lacrosse coach Judy Evans was fully aware of the perils of trying to play catch-up with Leonardtown High School last Thursday afternoon. We knew coming into this game that we didnt want to play from behind, Evans said after the Raiders jumped out to a 2-0 lead and held on for a 12-6 victory at Raider Stadium, winning the battle of the two teams that shared the SMAC conference title last season. Due to an unbalanced schedule, this was the first time in 10 seasons that the Raiders and Braves would play each other just once during the entire season. With that in mind, the intensity was high on both sides. We knew we were only going to play them once so we had to our play our best, said senior attacker Jessica Reabe, who scored two goals in the contest. No one wants to share a championship, added Courtney Williams. We want to get [the conference championship] on our own, like we did in 06. Raiders coach Mike DenSee Girls Lacrosse page B-3

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer MORGANZA Friendship and teamwork went hand in hand Friday afternoon as good friends Brian Dallaire and Kenny Aicher took turns setting each other up for goals and conference champion Raiders (9-1 overall, 9-0 in conference play) scorched the nets for 12 goals in the first 12 minutes of play. Because of this, the Raiders coasted to a 20-2 victory over Chopticon in SMAC action. We really are good friends and weve been playing together for a long time, said Dallaire, who scored five goals to tie with his buddy Aicher for the team lead. We know what to expect when one or the other drives to the net, Aicher added. The two combined for half of the Raiders 12 first period goals that finished Chopticon before some just-arriving fans could unfold their chairs. Head coach Matt Chew was pleased with the chemistry Dallaire and Aicher showed. They know how to feel each other out and they know where the other person is going to be, Chew said. We certainly didnt think wed score 12 goals in the first period. The first period got off to a quick start as Igor Laray scooped up a ground ball and worked his way to the front of the net, firing the first shot of the game past Chopticon goalkeeper Zach Flowers. That was just the beginning. Aicher and Dallaire would alternate going behind the net and finding the other in front for

a quick shot that more often than not was on target. The Raiders, who have won seven straight since losing to See Leonardtown vs. Chopticon page B-2

The St. Marys Angels defeated the Twins Tuesday night at Dorsey Park behind the combined pitching of Hunter Stone and Clark Ripple. Hunter Stone held the Twins to three runs after two innings when Clark Ripple came in and shut down the Twins bats. The only run given up by Ripple was a solo blast over the left field fence by Brandon Brock in the 4th inning. The game was close until the last inning when the Angels bats came alive for nine runs. Angels right fielder Nathaniel Silberschlag led off the inning with a line drive into right field followed by a flurry of hits. Adam Forinash hit a bases-loaded single into right field and two batters later, Silberschlag got his second hit of the inning, a three run shot into left center. Angels pitcher Clark Ripple finished the barrage with a triple into the right center gap.

LEONARDTOWN With a younger and less experienced St. Marys Ryken lacrosse team at key positions this season, coach John Sothoron has had to ask his seniors to step up and play multiple spots on the field. Count on Brett Schmidt as being up for the task. Whatever coach asks me to do, I go out there and do it, Schmidt said after his five-goal, three-assist performance led the Knights to a 13-2 non-conference win over St. Vincent Palotti High School Saturday afternoon. Hes everywhere, hes Mr. Hustle and the guy has the heart of a lion, Sothoron said proudly of Schmidt, who not only did-in the Panthers with his scoring and passing, but aided sophomore Brian Frank in the face-off circle. The much bigger and stronger Schmidt bullied Palottis face-off men and earned multiple possessions for the Knights, who have won two straight after having their six-game winning streak snapped by Good Counsel last Tuesday. Ideally, wed like to have more depth, Sothoron said of rotating Schmidt and others in and out of various positions on the field. But when you graduate 11 seniors like we did last year, sometimes you have to ask guys to step up and move around. When asked how his seniors have responded, Sothoron answered See Ryken Lacrosse page B-3

The Coolest Game On Earth? Definitely.

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer Being a sports writer, people love to ask you challenging questions about your career when youre not on the clock or assignment, but my favorite since Ive entered this profession full time way back in October is what is your favorite sport to watch? The answer wouldve easily been football once upon a time, but now that Ive seen ice hockey live, that long-standing answer now has company. The game that the National Hockey League advertising geniuses market as The Coolest Game on Earth has been an interest of mine since my grade school friends and I would buy these black and white plastic hockey sticks from the local dollar store and play during the winter months until we couldnt see the bright orange ball in front of our faces in the dark. Yet its taken 15 years to get to a live hockey game, and once I was able to cover the St. Marys Ryken and Leonardtown squads this past winter, I finally understood why the game can be so addictive and fascinating. Up and down the ice these kids skated, unleashing lightning fast slap shots and throwing their weight around along the boards, all in the pursuit of victory. Count that competitiveness and drive to be the best at what they do as a few of many reasons why I love this job, but lets get back on the subject. The Stanley Cup playoffs have long held a reputation as being the most exciting post-season tournament professional sports has to offer. So far, the 2008 playoffs have held up to the lofty standards, with upsets and close calls aplenty. In the Eastern Conference, the New York Yankees of the rink, the Montreal Canadiens (24 Stanley Cups and counting) were ahead three games to one on the inexperienced and cheaply-run Boston Bruins in the first round. Unexpectedly, the Bruins rallied to force a Game Seven, but 20-year old rookie goaltender Carey Price saved the day for the Canadiens, shutting out the Bruins and helping Montreal advancing to the conference semi-finals. Out west, the sixth-seeded Colorado Avalanche and fifthseeded Dallas Stars knocked off the Northwest Division champion Minnesota Wild and the defending Cup champion Anaheim Ducks, either lightening the load for the class of the West, the Detroit Red Wings to get to the Stanley Cup finals, or providing the Wings with two potholes on their road to championship glory. Locally, the Washington Capitals have managed to make their I95 Series with my home-area Philadelphia Flyers the first rounds best. After winning Game One at the MCI Center, the Caps were blitzed in three straight contests by the Flyers, but hockeys newest sensation, Alexander Ovechkin, started lighting up the lamp with regularity and the Caps will have Game Seven at home that has yet to be played as of press time. While many consider the current NHL as a degenerate version of the Original Six era (when the league fielded just six teams; Boston Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and Toronto) and oversaturated with teams in strange places from Greensboro, NC to Phoenix, AZ, the sport itself still ranks among the most exciting events to see in person because of the fast-paced action. The old saying if you blink, youll miss it truly applies to hockey, and for me, thats where the fascination lies. Ice Hockey is an exercise in calming the most ardent of ADD cases, forcing you to keep your eye on that little black rubber disc that these athletes are slapping around with wooden sticks. So while football still is the current Great American Game, Canada has given us a sport that to follow that with the proper publicity and organization could make its way into the conversation as one of the most exciting sports events to be seen anywhere. Theyve already got a believer writing this particular column. Feel free to join me and all the other cool kids who like hockey.

Theyre a good team, you cant make mistakes against them, Braves coach Mike Boyle said. Theres two tiers in this conference, and right now were not very competitive with the upper tier. Boyle feels that the newlyformed Mechanicsville youth league will give him a chance to compete with Leonardtown down the line, but in the meantime, the Raiders experience has proven to be a thorn in the Chopticon coachs side.

After the time-out, Schmidt and Frank scored goals 14 seconds apart and Ryken was well on its way to the win. Zack Angel added a goal and four assists and Bryant Schmidt contributed two goals and an assist for the Knights, who have a make-up game with Paul VI this week before heading to Washington to take on DeMatha Catholic, the team the Knights knocked off twice in 2007 to win the WCAC championship. The Stags are the last unbeaten team in the conference, while Ryken and Good Counsel have one conference loss each. They have returned all their guys and they are very good, Sothoron said. Even with that match-up looming over their heads, dont expect the Knights to look past Paul VI before their date with destiny Thursday afternoon in the Nations Capital. Were not going to think about DeMatha right now; PVI is a really good team, Brett Schmidt said. Theyre having a great season, and if we can beat them, then well get to DeMatha. It should be a great game. but every game is important. We want to repeat, Im not going to lie about that. While Denny and the Raiders look to march on to a third straight conference championship, Evans, while admitting that losing their only match-up with Leonard was disappointing, hopes that her girls will have a short memory. They have to be able to learn that this is just one game and play the rest of the season out, she said.

Theyre going to be a good for a long time, but we worked really, really hard. Despite putting themselves in the drivers seat with a win over, by all accounts, their biggest rival, Denny is aware that there is a lot of work left to be done this season. Weve established who we are with this win, he said,

Getting Rid of Those Uninvited Guests

Anyone familiar with the classic 1980 film Caddyshack likely recalls the difficulty Bill Murrays character had in ridding the golf course of pesky critters that were destroying the property he was responsible for protecting. Homeowners who watch that film can likely feel Murrays pain, as critters such as moles can do a great deal of damage to a yard or garden. Lawncare veterans may have heard of all of the supposed methods of ridding a yard of moles. Whether its blasting them out with a rush of water or inserting human hair into the ground, there seem to be a lot of differing opinions on ridding a yard of these deft diggers. One of the most successful ways to tackle the problem is by setting mole traps. Such traps are inexpensive and can be very effective, particularly if set before winter, when moles mate and produce babies. And while it may seem as though the mole loves eating your yard, what moles are really after is food, namely the soft-bodied grubs below thegrass. If you can remove the grub population from your yard, the moles will more than likely be forced to look elsewhere for their food and leave your lawn and garden intact.

Discover Yourself: Make a Collage

By Theresa Morr
Want to create a colorful one-of-a-kind picture of yourself that reveals your person- ality at a glance? Your picture wont be a photograph or a portrait, but something unique that you can make in your spare time. Its a collage. Whats a collage? you may ask. The word collage comes from the French verb coller, which means to glue or stick. Simply defined, a collage is a creative arrangement of various kinds of materials and objects pasted over a surface, usually with unifying lines and colors. There are many types of collages, but an easy cut-and-paste collage, using ordinary materials found around the home, is recommended for beginners. A collage reveals whats going on in the subconscious mind; the things you like to do or are concerned about; the things that make you happy or sad; and even the things you dream about doing. Composing a collage is a stimulating way to express your wildest flights of imagination with complete freedom. You can discover yourself through making a collage! So lets get started. Heres what youll need: * Bright colored poster board. * Magazines around the house (get your parents permission to cut them up). * Small pair of scissors. * Paper glue. * Lots of imagination. 1. Cut the poster board to a size you can manage; set it aside. 2. Look through magazines and cut out lots of colorful images and words that are cool. For instance, if you like animals, maybe youll find a picture of a horse or cow grazing in a field. If you like water, maybe youll cut out a sailboat on a river. Maybe a bunch of flowers in a vase if natures your thing. Include your favorite foods and activities. And dont forget to search for pictures that represent your family. You get the idea anything that says you! Also check out bold lettered advertisements for just the right words to express your feelings

Sudoku

like awesome and super. Your finished collage will say a lot about your personality in pictures and words. 3. Next, trim your selections with your scissors. Be careful not to snip your fingers. 4. Now comes the fun part. Arrange your pictures and words any which way on the entire poster board. Dont leave any blank spaces. Glue each picture in place. 5. When youre finished, your collage will be one-of-akind picture of yourself because it reveals things that are important to you. 6. Find a special spot for your picture so you can show it off.
