GREAT MILLS - Satur-day afternoon marked just one week since the Great Mills High School girls basketball team first hit the hardwood to defend their share of the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference title and their 3A South Regional champion-ship. However, the Hornets and head coach Brian Weis-ner, have gone about business as usual – working together as a team to achieve as many goals as they can this coming season. “We talked a little bit about last year,” Weisner said, a year where the Hornets went 24-2 and earned the right to play in the 3A Semi-finals, fall-ing to Paint Branch 69-58 this past March. “We talked about what it was that teams did to make us struggle, and about what we can do to make those teams struggle this year.”

If last year was any indi-cation, the Hornets will bring an aggressive, stifling defen-sive mindset along with timely scoring to help defend the con-ference title they shared with Lackey last season. The bigger picture, at least in Weisner’s eyes, is not replacing SMAC player of the year Ashley Lind-sey and Megan Matheny (both have graduated and moved on to college) in terms of skill and talent, but in terms of leader-ship, something Weisner hopes his five seniors understand.

“You can replace scor-ing, defense, all the things you can teach,” he explained, “but that’s what we as a coaching staff been working on is teach-ing the girls leadership.”

After an up-and-down first year as head coach of the St. Mary’s Ryken boys’ basketball team, Dave Tallman knew it would take a spe-cial group of players to get the Knights to the upper tier of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference standings. And yet, he is confident his 2008-09 team will do just that.

“I think we have a great group of kids who have bought into what we want on the court as well as off the court,” Tallman said of his team. With a roster that returns guards R.J. Buck, Eli-jah Matthews and Kai Smith along with new-comers such as Kamron Barker (a 6’4 junior for-ward who moves up to varsity this year) and two Turkish students, Gorken Sanmez and Gokhan Sirin, he has good reason to be confident.

It was tough, but it was rewarding for St. Mary’s Ryken football coach Bob Harmon. Af-ter dominating Annapolis Area Christian 35-0 Labor Day weekend for the first football win in school history, the Knights fell victim to the injury bug and a tough schedule, but Harmon believes the Knights can only get better from here.

“We knew going in that this was probably going to be our toughest season,” Harmon said of the first varsity season for the Knights, which

saw them go 1-8 while learn-ing about themselves in the process. “We’ve got a lot of talented, young, hard-working kids, but by the fifth game of the season, we were just worn down.”

The Ryken road show that was the 2008 season saw them take on some of the best the Washington Catholic Ath-letic Conference had to offer as well as a trip to Lynch-burg, Va. to battle private school state champion Liberty Christian.

“I think the problem is that we frontloaded our sched-ule with all the tough teams from the WCAC and had Lib-erty Christian in the middle,” Harmon said of games with Bishop McNamara, Bishop O’Connell and Paul VI, fol-lowed by the trip into Virgin-ia in less than a month’s time. “If I had to do it over again,

we would’ve scheduled those games later in the season.”

It didn’t help matters that all of these games were played on the road, something Har-mon doesn’t want to use as an excuse. He does however look forward to the completion of the Knights’ outdoor stadium this coming summer.

“Playing at home takes the pressure off of getting on a bus and driving up and down the road,” he explained. “There’s pressure playing in front of a home crowd, but the fans are really supportive.”

The Knights were led throughout the season by their stalwart lineman, the trio of team MVP Jake Cooke, Ned Arick and Sean McShea, as well as freshman Hunter Wil-son, who pitched in at tailback and linebacker throughout the season.

“If you told me we’d have a freshman starting this year,” Harmon said, “I would’ve thought you were crazy.”

With a new stadium and a dedicated group of football players, the 2008 season has allowed Harmon to put things in perspective.

“This year was a fun expe-

rience and a humbling experi-ence because it allows you to realize why you’re coaching here,” he said. “You’re here because you’re teaching these kids the game of football and helping them get to college, so you get a calmness about you.”

The calmness was neces-sary in a year that saw start-ing quarterback Chris Rixey break his leg on one play, and then his back-up break his hand on the next play. By the season finale at the Bullis School in Potomac, starting safety Peter Martin was the man under center, and it il-lustrated the Knights’ need to toughen – and bulk – up for the 2009 season.

“As a team, we need to get stronger,” Harmon said. “It’s one thing for a coach to

say it, but our kids can see it as well. They want to win and they want to get better, all they’ve said to me is, ‘coach I can’t wait for the off-season workouts.’”

One advantage Ryken has over most – if not all – South-ern Maryland high schools is that because of their private nature, they can hold off-season workout sessions in the winter, and kids can get stronger.

Harmon feels like 2009 will be a great season in the development of St. Mary’s Ryken football.

“I had a lot of fun with my boys this year because they’ve learned a lot about themselves and football,” the coach said. “We’re going to be a much better team next year.”

turning players, I think we’re going to have a great year.”

For Buck, who recently signed a letter of intent to play ball at North Carolina A&T

State University, he had a feeling from the first practice that these Knights will be in the discussion for a confer-ence championship.

“Not so much that we have a lot of talent,” Buck ex-plained of his early observa-tion, “but we work hard, and I think we’re ready to compete this year.”

Tallman – who believes team rebounding will help the Knights get through the con-ference schedule - is really ex-cited about Sanmez and Sirin,

two kids who give Ryken size and considerable skill. San-mez is a 6’5 forward who will team with the 6’9 Sirin, who’s

getting looks from Providence College and Virginia Com-monwealth University, and will try to replace the gradu-ated John Taylor down low as the Knights’ offensive and de-fensive forces in the paint.

Along with the three-guard starting line-up of Smith, the sharp-shooting Matthews and the versatile Buck, the Knights have a line-up that can hang tough with WCAC powerhouses DeMatha and Bishop McNamara.

Also new to the Ryken boys’ coaching staff this year is Dave Keifer, a very capable assistant who has spent time learning from West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins dur-ing his tenures at Cincinnati and Kansas State.

“It’s a benefit to have a guy like this to coach our kids,” Tallman said. “David brings a lot to the table.”

With a new supporting cast as well as some return-ing performers, Buck feels the Knights will need team-work and a consistent effort in order to bring home the WCAC crown by the end of February.

“Just staying together as a team and playing hard every night,” Buck said was the nec-essary formula for success. “We have to bring it every night, no matter how tough it gets.”

Tallman hopes his team can indeed follow through on

their leader’s hopes and out-shine all competition.

“Being a part of this busi-ness, my goal is to get a ring

on the finger, and to do that, we’ll have to play smart and play accomplished,” he said.

hold their own against power-ful St. Mary’s Ryken.

Head coach Terry Mumau hopes the play they exhib-

ited will help them against the tougher teams in the Southern Maryland Athletic Confer-ence this coming season.

“I really liked our play in the first quarter and a little bit of the third and fourth,” Mu-

mau said of the effort which saw the Braves stay close to the taller and more athletic Knights in certain stretches. “Not too bad for just three days of practice.”

Mumau said starting the practice the previous Sat-urday, along with having to make cuts and quickly put together a game plan for the scrimmage, was tough, but he felt the team played hard.

“We knew they were go-ing to be good,” Mumau said “but we played with them and I really liked our effort defen-sively tonight.”

Last year, Chopticon had an up-and-down season where they were able to knock off a few SMAC contenders, but after a first round victory in the 3A South playoffs, turn-overs ended the Braves hopes in their quarterfinal loss at Lackey last February.

“We’ve got to take bet-ter care of the ball this year,” Mumau stressed. “You can’t panic and give the ball away like we did last year.”

“We played hard every night, we put out a lot of ef-fort,” said senior guard Der-rell Armstrong, an all-SMAC first team pick for the 2007-08 season. “We were losing games because of mental mis-takes. We just have to do the little things and play smart.”

Armstrong, who averaged 16 points and five assists per contest last season, will lead the charge along with shoot-ing guard Devon Yates and forward-center Glen Thomp-son, as the Braves look to-

wards a season where the top teams in Mumau’s estimation are similar to what they faced at Ryken Friday night.

“If I can keep five guys fresh against that type of tal-ent,” he said the just-complet-ed scrimmage, “then I think we’re going to be a competi-tive team this year.”

The teams that are most like the Knights in the SMAC are characterized by Mumau as being “anything within 10 miles of Waldorf. [2008 Class 4A State Finalists] Thomas Stone, Westlake, North Point and Lackey as well, those are the teams to beat.”

The Braves’ biggest prob-lem this season may be a lack of a supporting cast to take the heat off of Armstrong, Yates and Thompson, as Mu-mau is unsure what kind of depth Chopticon will be af-forded. Armstrong, on the other hand, is only concerned with getting on the court and helping his teammates play to their potential.

“There were stretches to-night where we were playing with and outplaying Ryken,” Armstrong said. “I think we have the capability to play with the top teams in our conference.”

preparation for the upcoming season.

“Maybe we should have the media here more often,” he said before adding that the team was “better at 9 p.m. than we were at 7 p.m.”

“We try to go right into things,” Heibel explained of the slow practice and scrim-mage start the Raiders got off to recently. “When you have as many kids as we had try-ing out (81 all told, the most in Heibel’s tenure at the school), [the beginning of practice] is sluggish.”

Heibel and his troops are all too familiar with that sluggish feeling. The Raiders jumped out to a hot start the previous two seasons, only to wilt in the final weeks due to a lack of depth and a late-season suicide schedule against the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference’s best teams that left them helpless by year’s end. This time around, the Raiders and their coach hope they will have the energy and the manpower to compete in the SMAC.

“I think we got away from the things that coach taught us last year,” said senior point guard Moe Stone. “Coach has got to drill us on everything we need to win, and that’s what he’s been doing.”

“We just need to stay consistent,” said senior guard Jeff Wettingel, who along with backcourt partner Stone and forward Gerrell Shingles will be counted on to provide the leadership for LHS this season.

“They’ve got a lot of games under their belt,” Heibel said of his senior group, with Stone christening his guys “The Three Musketeers.”

“They’ve got to use that to their advantage.”

Even with the senior lead-ership, Heibel hopes increased depth – thanks to several kids coming up from the junior varsity this season – will help Leonardtown shake off its recent trend of late season struggles.

“The guys who play the majority of the minutes, to-wards the middle of the sea-son, they get worn down,” Hei-bel admitted. “These younger kids are going to have to get up to speed. We’re going to go as far those three (Shingles, Stone and Wettingel) take us, but I hope they’ll all be com-petitive down the stretch.”

“We’ve got to mingle as a team, because a lot of guys came up from JV this year,” Wettingel said. “I think if we can mix well, we’ll be fine.”

Stone is enthused about the increase in height the Raiders will employ this year, especially in light of gradu-ating 6’7” center Drew Plath and forward Eric Chase.

“We’ve got a real tall and long team this year,” the 5’10 Stone said in amazement of the guys that tower over him. “It’s real big for us to have the size this year.”

Another big thing the Raiders will rely on is their trademark defense, a stifling unit that held teams to below 50 points per game last sea-

son, and will be necessary again if the Raiders plan to make noise in the SMAC.

“For us,” Jeff Wettingel explained, “defense is always good to have.”

Heibel feels that with defense and some improved scoring, Leonardtown will be just fine.

“If we can’t stop people, we can’t get out in transition,” he said. “I think if we defend better, we can score some points this year.”

Two of the seniors that have proven to be quick stud-ies in the crash course are point guard Shamara Adams and forward Corleda Naylor, who are Great Mills’ two top returning scoring threats.

“It’s something we’ve been talking about since the summer,” Adams said of try-ing to replace the encourage-ment and examples of Lind-sey and Matheny.

“We have more experi-ence than the other players, so we have to step up,” Nay-lor added.

In Adams’ eyes, the success of last season gives the Hornets a head start on the competition, but the all SMAC first team player and her teammates understand that last season was just that. “We respect all of the teams in the SMAC, but that doesn’t

change the fact of what we did last year, and what we’ve done before that,” she said. “But it is a new season.”

Naylor figures the unique kinship this team shares proved to them they could do anything together.

“We have a sisterly bond that we use to our advantage to overcome anything,” she said.

Every year, the SMAC seems to get tougher and tougher on the girls’ side, and that’s alright with Weis-ner, as he believes the same thing that has won the confer-ence two years running and

earned the Hornets a trip to states last year

will help them suc-ceed again in the 2008-09 season.

“There’s a lot of talent in the league, and we’ve had talented teams

here before that didn’t win,” Weis-

ner says.“For us, it’s putting

kids on the floor who can play together as a team,” he said. “Teamwork can take a group of individuals a long way.”

she looks forward to the most – working as an elementary school teacher.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was real young, and I just stuck with that,” said Leddy, who will head off to Mount St. Mary’s next year to play softball. “I love interacting with kids and young children.”

While Leddy will ma-jor in elementary education, she’ll also patrol the outfield for the Mountaineers, a wel-come change from her regu-lar position as shortstop on the Knights’ softball team.

“I feel more comfortable out there,” she said.

“When she was 12 years old, she was making the kinds of catches that other girls just weren’t making,” her father Daniel Leddy added.

Leddy began playing tee-ball at age 4, progressed to playing baseball with the boys by age 6 and made all-star teams doing it. But she really took flight when she started playing softball.

“She was just a natural athlete,” Erin’s mother Chris-ty Leddy said.

“Jim Sewell, who was coaching softball at the time down here, said Erin should really start thinking about travel ball, she was that good,” raved Daniel Leddy.

Young Erin Leddy would do just that, as she currently plays for the Bayside Bulls and honed her skills to the point where she has been an all-Washington Catholic Ath-letic Conference first team selection each of the last two seasons.

“My coaches had faith in my abilities and were tell-ing me I could play” at a Di-vision I level, Leddy said of the support she received from various levels through high school, where she led the Knights to the WCAC semi-finals last spring, the farthest the Ryken softball team has ever gone.

Fielding offers from sev-eral Division II colleges, and a few D-I schools such as George Mason and UNC-Greensboro, Leddy ultimate-

ly decided on The Mount because it offered her major and a chance to stay close to home, as Emmitsburg is just about two hours north of Great Mills, where the Leddy family makes their home.

“I fell in love with the school and the team when I visited,” she explained of her choice. “It’s close to home, not too far of a drive on the weekends.”

Christy and Daniel Led-dy did not care to interfere in their daughter’s choice

of where she would attend school.

“We left it totally up to her,” Christy Leddy said. “We want her to be comfort-able wherever she was going to go, so ultimately we left the decision up to her.”

Leddy has also shined on the soccer field and the bas-ketball court for the Knights, and at the completion of this coming spring’s softball sea-son, she will have earned 12 varsity letters, all while maintaining a 3.7 grade point

average.With opportunities lim-

ited for playing softball after college, Leddy said she would love an opportunity to play long term, but made it clear that her future is molding and shaping the young minds of tomorrow.

“I wouldn’t look for a chance. If it came to me, sure,” she said. “But my ca-reer is most important.”

Seven volunteers from the St. Mary’s County, MD, Relay For Life recently attended the American Cancer Society’s 2008 Relay Uni-versity in Falls Church, VA. Volun-teers Janet Shlegle, Kristy Ander-son (front), Susan Dudley, Debbie Lehtonen, Abby Seamans (2009 Event Chair), Sue Lyddon-Hayes, and Georgette Gaskin accepted the Per Capita Award on behalf of St. Mary’s County. The 2008 Per Capi-ta award was $2.17 raised per citizen of St. Mary’s County – an increase of $0.14 per capita over 2007. The 2008 event netted over $216,000 for cancer services, programs, and research. The St. Mary’s event has shown steady growth since 2006:

The two-day conference rec-ognized achievement for outstand-ing 2008 Relay For Life events and offered participants tools and in-formation to increase the success of their events. Breakout sessions and regional rallies helped volun-teers learn new ideas. In addition, volunteers learned the importance of integrating the Society’s mission through Relay For Life.

Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to cele-brate survivorship. The funds raised from the events support the Ameri-can Cancer Society’s mission to

eliminate cancer through research, prevention, and early detection programs. During the event, teams gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running around a track. Teams consist of individuals representing businesses, churches, schools, Navy and Marine Corps activities, neigh-borhoods, families and other com-munity groups. Participants camp out around the track and when they aren’t taking their turn on the track, enjoy a variety of entertainment and team activities.

Relay For Life is not only a fund-

raiser; it also brings awareness to the community about the advances in cancer research, prevention and de-tection. Because of the event steady growth, St. Mary’s County was also selected to be a 2009 registration site for Cancer Prevention Study 3. The American Cancer Society re-search study seeks participants 30 to 65 years old who have never had cancer to commit to being tracked for 20 years. A brief history and questionnaire, blood samples, and measurements will be completed at the time of sign-up at the Relay For Life. Participants will then be sent an annual questionnaire to learn more about why they do not have cancer. CPS-1 was the first cancer prevention study undertaken in the 1960s that produced the informa-

The annual PRISM holiday party is Thursday, Dec. 18, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC) State House, where the halls will be decked and the candlelight will glow. The evening’s fes-tivi-ties will feature music of the season by the St Maries Musica and gourmet heavy hors d’oeuvres. Compli-mentary hot cider and soft drinks will be served, and a cash bar will be available. Members and non-member guests are welcome. Reservations are required; price is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Please RSVP to Marc Apter by Dec. 15 by calling 240-895-4381 or e-mailing mlapter@smcm.edu.

As per our tradition, all are invited to bring a new unwrapped toy to the gathering. The toys will be de-livered to the County’s Department of Human Services on Dec. 19 for delivery to families this holiday season. The Department of Human Services coordinates the Christmas Caring program each year to match gifts with families in need.

The Mistress Brent Garden Club will adorn the State House for holiday guests, as it has for the past 25 years. Fresh greens, blazing fires, and candlelight will enhance this season’s decorating theme at the State House, “The Journey.” Nautical details will com-memorate the 375th anniversary of the voyage of the Ark and the Dove from England. The State House is a beautiful setting any time of the year, but it is particu-larly lovely during the holidays.

St Maries Musica, a high-spirited troupe of vo-

calists from Southern Maryland directed by Stanley “Joey” Hoopengardner, will perform songs from the group’s annual Christmas concert repertoire. This year’s program, “A Seasonal Greeting,” is a blend of traditional carols, seasonal hymns, and other festive songs. Holiday selections featured in the group’s con-certs this season range from Han-del’s “And the Glory of the Lord” from “The Messiah” to traditional Christ-mas songs such as “Carol of the Bells,” “I Saw Three Ships” and “Silent Night.”

St Maries Musica was formed in 1971 when a group of neighbors in Southern Maryland got together to share their love of madrigal music and formed the Madrigal Choral Ensemble. As the name and cos-tumes suggest, St. Maries Musica specializes in mad-rigals and other historic choral styles.

The group has performed in such prestigious ven-ues as the Kennedy Center and the Old Executive Of-fice Building in Washington, D.C.

PRISM is the organization of public relations and marketing professionals in Southern Maryland. It holds bi-monthly luncheon meetings and occasional workshops to foster professional development and net-working opportunities for its members. The meetings rotate between Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s coun-ties.

Technical Center Students Learn Nursing Skills

Students at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center in Leonardtown learned real-world medical applications from two St. Mary’s Hospital nurses on Nov. 13 as part of Perioperative Nurse Week.

Jamie Jackson and Darcy Bishop, both registered nurses in the hospital’s Perioperative Services Department, provided hands-on activities to students in the technical center’s anatomy/physiology and Allied Health classes. Jack-son and Bishop discussed the details of their jobs and had students practice scrubbing their hands, gowning, gloving and draping a patient.

Woven in the fabric of the US Armed Forces, the American Red Cross has a long history of providing support to members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families since its founding on the Civil War battlefield by Clara Barton.

In times of crisis, the American Red Cross is there for the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families. From communicating messages during emergencies to outreach to the National Guard and Re-serves, to Veterans assistance and Military Hospital visits. The Red Cross provides these vital services and more.

“The Southern Maryland Chapter has planned a night out for local Servicemen and Women to show our support for their service,” said Mike Zabko CEO of the chapter, also retired from the US Navy. “We wanted them to know that the American Red Cross will be there for them during their career in the US Armed Forces and especially now at the beginning of the Holiday Season, when so many are away from their homes and fami-lies,” Zabko contin-ued. The Red Cross is hopeful others in our Southern Maryland Community will follow their lead and provide venues for servicemen and women stationed in the Southern Maryland area now and after the Holidays are long gone and continue showing our support of their ser-vice to our Country.
