In Friday night’s champi-onship game of the Four Star Pizza Southern Maryland Holi-day Tournament, the Great Mills boys’ basketball team beat Wal-ter Johnson 65-56 and put on a show doing it.

The Hornets had the en-tire crowd at Chopticon on their feet early in the game. It started with a one-handed dunk by 5’10’’ Jo-seph Brown. On the following play, Hornet’s point-guard Cody Kohn stole the ball from a Walter Johnson guard, passed it to Will Smith, who ran the fast break and threw an alley-oop pass to Trae Jacobs, who soared high and dunked the ball with authority. Kohn then grabbed another steal and sprinted the court for two more easy points.

This run stunned the Wild-cats, who cruised to victory over Chop-ticon the day before. But after a timeout, Walter Johnson worked their way back into the game with strong shoot-ing. By halftime, they were only down by three.

“They’re a good shooting team,” Jacobs said of the Wild-

cats. “You’ve got to give them that. But we’re a good team pe-riod. We’ve got great players, shooters, passers. We’ve got everything on our team, so you can’t stop that.”

In the end, it was the Hor-nets’ speed that proved to be their best weapon. Walter John-son showed signs of fatigue in the fourth quarter while Great Mills capitalized on fast breaks. The Hornets were also patient offensively and spread the ball

Great Mills’ and Chopticon’s girls basketball teams are seeing a lot of each other this year.

The Hornets have gotten the best of the Braves in both of the team’s meetings so far, but Chop-ticon gets another crack at them tomorrow at Great Mills.

On Friday, the Hornets beat Chopticon 58-21 to win the Four Star Pizza Southern Maryland Holiday Basketball Tournament.

Megan Matheny and Corleda Naylor each earned spots on the all-tournament team for their roles in winning the tournament, but they couldn’t have done it without the help of Ashley Lind-sey, named the tournament’s “most outstanding player”.

The Hornets beat Leonard-town 57-44 Dec. 28 to advance to the championship game. Ma-

theny scored 16 points, Lindsey had 13, and Naylor contributed with 11.

“Everyone was seeing the open person,” Matheny said. “So that was amazing. We were shar-ing the ball. Everyone was shar-ing the ball and everyone was seeing the open person. That’s how we’re scoring.”

In the championship game, the Hornets jumped on Chop-ticon early, giving up just six points in the first half.

“It wasn’t the margin of victory, it was the way we went out. I thought we played really hard. I thought we were very aggressive,” Great Mills head coach Brian Weisner said. “ I think that was the difference in the game. We were much more aggressive.”

Leonardtown’s boys basket-ball team, led by Donardis Brad-shaw’s 16 point performance, beat Chopticon 59-46 on the Braves’ home turf Friday.

The 15 – point win, which came a day after losing to Great Mills for the second time this season, earned the Raiders third place in the Four Star Pizza

Southern Maryland Holiday Basketball Tournament.

According to Leonardtown head coach Jake Heibel, it was that game that gave the Raiders confidence to go out and beat Chopticon, despite the loss.

“I thought last night was a confidence booster,” he said after the Chopticon game. “We had two games where we didn’t compete and we didn’t play as

The Leonardtown Lady Raiders were down 33-26 to La Plata with less than four min-utes remaining in the game. The Warriors seemed to have the vic-tory sealed, until L-Town center Misty Stachowski suffocated La Plata’s offense.

Her two key blocks and steal in the last minutes of the game gave the Raiders the momentum they needed to plot their come-back. She scored three quick points cutting the lead to four. Then, forward Katherine Mar-

tin pulled down an offensive re-bound and scored on a put-back. She turned around on defense and came up with a steal and as-sist to Dana O’Neil who scored on a layup to tie the game.

La Plata controlled the ball for the next minute, but couldn’t get the ball in the net. O’Neil grabbed the rebound on a War-rior miss, giving the Raiders an opportunity to win the game with 25 seconds on the clock.

The ball swung to Em-ily Jones on the wing with 12 seconds to go. She released the ball immediately and watched her shot sail up and through the

net. La Plata had time to score, but their desperation shot at the buzzer bounced hard off the backboard, and the Raiders earned the 35-33 win for third place in the tournament.

Jones only had two points (off foul shots) before swishing the game-winner.

“It was really exciting to be able to pull through for the win,” Jones said. “I was a little nervous.”

Although Jones was nervous about taking the last shot, Raid-ers’ head coach Ed Carney saw his team play more confi-dently than they had in their

57-44 loss to Great Mills the day before.

“We started executing,” Carney said. “We got back to running our offense with a little more confidence. I thought we played hard yesterday, but we played [Great Mills’] game too much.”

The Raiders struggled of-fensively at times, making bad passes and turning the ball over. La Plata scored the first four points of the game, but Leonar-dtown adjusted quickly and went on a 10-0 run to end the first

Ryken’s boys basketball team threw everything they could at the DC Metropolitan’s top-ranked team, DeMatha, Tuesday night, but still came up short, losing 65-62 on their home court.

The Knights proved throughout the game that they could hang with the Stags, but minor mistakes prevented them from coming away with the victory.

“It’s very disappointing,” Ryken head coach Danny San-comb said. “”It wasn’t a good job for us. We lost the game.

Our goal tonight was to win the game.”

In the first half, the Knights used tremendous three-point shooting to build a 30-25 lead. Point guard Julius Brown and shooting guard Janko Kajtez each knocked down two three’s and combined for 16 points in the second quarter.

“Janko and Julius are good shooters,” Sancomb said. “If they’re open, they’re going to make shots. They spaced the ball out, they came off screens…if they’re open, they’re going to make them.”

The Stags held a 16-11 lead

in the first quarter, but Brown and Kajtez’s scoring helped the Knights outscore DeMatha 19-9 in the second.

DeMatha opened up the sec-ond half with an alley-oop dunk by Austin Freeman. Ryken did not panic after that play, but the Stags kept the pressure on and took a one-point lead late in the third quarter after a layup by Jeff Peterson.

“We didn’t want to give [De-Matha] second-chance points,” Sancomb said. “But they prob-

ably had 12 to 14 in the second half on second-chance points.”

The Knights also made sev-eral key turnovers in the second half that probably cost them the victory, according to Brown.

“On defense we were killing them,” he said. “I think if we had cut down on our turnovers a little bit more, we could have won the game.”

Ryken called a timeout after DeMatha’s run and reclaimed the lead when forward John Flowers tipped in a missed shot. Forward Jon Taylor then stole the ball and scored to give the Knights a three-point lead. But a few turn-overs by Ryken led to another

basket by Peterson and another alley-oop dunk by Freeman as time expired.

“We’ve got to take care of the basketball,” Sancomb said. “We turned it over too much in the second half. When you play a team like DeMatha, you have to protect the basketball. Every possession is important.”

After cutting the lead to three in the fourth quarter, Brown knocked down a critical three-pointer to tie the game. Freeman scored on the ensuing possession and then Ryken’s Thaddeus Brown hit a floater to tie the game once more.

From there, DeMatha was able to build a 60-52 advantage and wasted over a minute of clock time with just one posses-sion. Down eight, the Knights looked defeated, but Kajtez came in big with a fade-away three with 50.8 seconds left. Ryken fouled as quickly as possible and DeMatha missed their one-and-one free throw. Julius Brown sprinted up the court and scored

a quick bucket. The Stags hit two foul shots, but Flowers respond-ed with two of his own after ref-erees called an intentional foul on Peterson.

Down four and with less than 10 seconds in the game, guard R.J. Buck knocked down a three-pointer to put victory back in sight for Ryken.

The Knights fouled once

again, but DeMatha made both foul shots. With 4.3 seconds left, Julius Brown pushed the ball up the court and took a shot from the top of the key. The ball

bounced hard off the backboard as the buzzer sounded and De-Matha escaped with the three point win.

The loss was hard to swal-low for the Knights (7-3), who

have proven themselves to be a top team in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference.

“We really wanted this game right here,” Julius Brown said. “We don’t accept losing by three because we wanted to win this game.”

“We tried everything,” added Kajtez. “It’s really disappointing.”

Julius Brown led the Knights with 19 points in the game. Kajtez recorded 18, 12 of which were on three-pointers, and Flowers scored 12 points and pulled down nine rebounds.

Ryken will have a second chance at DeMatha Jan. 30, but for now, they will try to move past the loss and focus on their next game.

“We’ve got to get ready,” Sancomb said. “DeMatha is a great team, but so is everybody else in our league. We can’t hold our heads down, we’ve got to get ready for Bishop Ireton tomorrow.”

Sportsuntil they found an open player.

“I think we had 18 assists, and that’s one of the stats we usu-ally look for,” Peck said. “That tells us what success we had in that game.”

One player who repeatedly found himself open was Brown, who exploded for 22 points. Wal-ter Johnson was unable to stop his 15-footers, fast break layups, or put-backs all night long.

“He does a very good job of finding the open hole and I think the guards did a very good job of finding him,” Hornet head coach Frank Peck said.

Brown also had a tremen-dous block in the fourth quarter that sent the ball deep into the bleachers.

Along with Brown’s sea-son high 22 points, Kohn scored 19 and Jacobs had 12. Jacobs earned the “most outstanding player” award for the tourna-ment. He scored 19 points in a victory over Leonardtown on the opening night.

“He’s coming along,” Peck

said of Jacobs. “If he gets the ball in there and just goes strong to the basket, he’s going to be a force that teams will have to reckon with.”

Kohn and Smith provid-ed the outside balance against Leonardtown by contributing 16 and 10 points each.

Jacobs put an exclamation point on the victory over Walter Johnson in the last minute when Sidney Ridley threw him anoth-er alley-oop pass. This time, Ja-cobs hung on the rim and earned himself a technical foul. By then, though, the Hornets already had the victory wrapped up.

“It feels good,” Jacobs said. “First dunk of the season, second dunk of the season in the same game.”

Great Mills improved to 6-1 (1-0 SMAC) with their tourna-ment wins. They have also estab-lished themselves as the top team in the county. But the Hornets are not content with just being the best team in St. Mary’s County, “e want to try to win SMAC and states,” Brown said.

hard as I would have liked. We were blown out by Great Mills a couple of weeks ago and we got blown out by Northern. We played well last night against Great Mills. I think we got our confidence last night.”

The first time Leonardtown and Great Mills met, the Raiders were downed 54-25. On Thurs-day, the Raiders lost by 15.

“The first time we played Great Mills, we didn’t really make shots, we didn’t play as a team, we didn’t really hustle,”

Bradshaw said. “This time we picked it up, and a lot of it had to do with our post game.”

The post game was the key to Leonardtown’s victory over Chopticon. The Raiders centers and forwards combined for 35 points and made outside shoot-ers more dangerous as well. The Raiders were able to push the ball down low and then kick it out to open shooters when Chopticon’s defense collapsed.

“We’ve got a lot of good shooters, but in order for us to get shots off, we’ve got to look inside first,” Bradshaw said. “Our post game is going to help us win a lot of games.”

The Raiders jumped to an eight point lead by halftime and increased it to 17 in the early minutes of the third, but Chopti-con ended the third by going on an eight point run capped by a buzzer beating layup by forward Ivan Cerkez. The run brought the score to 47-38 going into the fourth quarter.

“We had an opportunity to put the game away midway through the third but we did some fundamental things that we tell them not to do,” Heibel said. “I told the kids I don’t care how we do it, we’ve got to find a way to win the game, and we did.”

The Raiders held on for the

win by playing strong defense and making frequent trips to the foul line. Half of their fourth quarter points were from the charity stripe.

“I think today we picked up our offense from last night a lot,” Bradshaw said. “We stepped up our defense too, so I think we just played more as a team today.”

With the win over Chopti-con, the Raiders snapped a three game losing streak and hope to ride the wave of momentum.

points on the board, and Lindsey led the way with 10. Guard Ty-neisha Baker was close behind with nine.

The Hornets faced Chopti-con in the championship game of Tip-Off Tournament earlier this season and won 43-25.

“I think we didn’t play as good as we did last time,” Chopti-con point guard Jennifer Allison said. “In our last tournament, we definitely stepped it up to Great Mills. We were only down six at halftime.”

Friday’s game was a differ-ent story. The Braves struggled all night to put together a scoring drive against Great Mills’ strong defense, and frustration quickly set in. Allison led the Braves with 10 points after scoring 17 the night before in a win against La Plata. Those numbers gave her a spot on the all-tournament team as well.

“It feels good,” Allison said of the award. “With a loss like that, it definitely made my day a

little better.”After the tournament, the

Braves are 3-4 on the season and left wondering how to beat Great Mills. The Hornets, on the other hand, have mixed feelings about having to play the Braves so much.

“It doesn’t matter what team it is, you don’t want to continue to play the same team because it’s hard to play the same team over and over. It’s always hard,” Weisner said.

Hornet players are enjoy-ing their weekly match-up with Chopticon.

“It’s fun,” Lindsey said. “We know we can beat them, so I like it.”

Tomorrow, the teams will meet for the third time. Weisner assures that his team will take it as seriously as any game.

“No team wants to lose to a county rival, ever,” Weisner said. “It doesn’t matter when it is, you always want to play hard against your county rival and they’re go-ing to come out and they’re going to give us a heck of a game next time and we’re just going to have to be ready.”

quarter. The lead went back and forth until the start of the fourth quarter, when the Warriors went on a six-point run. La Plata was in position to win the game, until the Lady Raiders went on a nine-point run to steal the victory.

Stachowski’s strong inside play throughout the tournament was a key factor in building confidence for the Raiders. She scored 15 on La Plata and had 14 against Great Mills to earn a spot on the all-tournament team.

“Misty played much more physical inside,” Carney said. “She used her post moves a lot more than she has been. We hadn’t been doing that enough. That was one of our focuses – to get the ball inside.”

“Personally, I was just think-ing that we really needed to win this game,” Stachowski said.

O’Neil was the second high-est Raider scorer with six points. Against Great Mills, Arlene Car-ney followed Stachowski’s 14 points with seven, while Jones chipped in six.

“We’ve come so far since the beginning of the season,” Stachowski said.

The Raiders are now 2-3 overall and looking to even their record tomorrow as they face La Plata again at home.

Fans, athletes, coaches, distinguished countrymen and fellow citizens: Every year, by law and by custom, we meet to

discuss the state of our area’s professional sports teams. This year, we gather deeply aware of decisive days ahead.

You and I, loyal fans of Washington and Baltimore sports teams, fulfill our duties day in and day out. At the start of every season, we are hopeful and confident in the skills of our favorite players and teams. And every season, we are by their side to encourage them to the best of our abilities. (Applause.) Most years, we are let down by poor performances, making our jobs harder and harder.

In the year 2006, we saw the

Baltimore Orioles finish with a 70-92 record, finishing (as they do every year) second to last in their division. The Washington Nationals had a record of 71-91. (Boo’s.)

The team that most of us DC sports fans rely on every year -DC United- was eliminated in the playoffs by the New England Revolution and one of the star players -Freddy Adu- was traded away to Salt Lake. (Boo’s.)

Currently, the Washington Capitals are on a five-game los-ing streak and boast a 16-17 re-cord. They are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. (Boo’s.)

The Mighty Washington Redskins, with all the talent they have, are the most disappointing team of the year with their 5-11 record and last place finish in the NFC East. (Bottles thrown.)

Now let us look at the posi-tive, the things we loyal fans can be thankful for in this new year.

The Baltimore Ravens are one of the strongest teams in the NFL with a 13-3 record. Their defense reminds many of the 2001 Ravens team, which won Super Bowl XXXV. (Thunder-ous applause.)

The Washington Wizards are in first place in the Southeast

Division currently with a 17-13 record and have won 12 of their last 16 games. Gilbert Arenas is third in the league in scoring, averaging 30.3 points per game. He scored 60 on Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in overtime. Are-nas and his teammates Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison are the league’s highest scoring trio. (Thunderous applause.)

Of course, we must not for-get the Washington Mystics, who are neither in the good nor bad news categories. They hold an 18-16 record and are mid-pack in the Eastern Conference. (Sighs.)

As we can see, this area has many challenges. We will not deny, we will not ignore, we will not hope to pass them along to others. We will confront them with determination and courage. (Applause.)

My fellow DC area sports

fans, we have seen dark days. But let me assure you that the worst is over. We have looked down the eye of the storm and we have prevailed. Now, only brighter days await us. (Applause.)

DC area sports will rise to the top, starting with a Super Bowl Championship from the Ravens and followed by an NBA Championship from the Wizards (Deafening cheers.)

We fans have faith in our-selves, but not in ourselves alone. We have faith in our teams and players. In 2007, our years of dedication will finally pay off. (Tears of joy.)

Thank you and may God bless our sports. (Applause.)

In 1996, St. Mary’s Hospital felt a strong need for greater rev-enues. Thus, the Board of Direc-tors brainstormed, and gave birth to the St. Mary’s Hospital Foun-dation to carry out this mission.

The Foundation, made up of just over one dozen members, has succeeded in a big way, rais-ing nearly $200,000 this year in two events.

Bob Russell, president of SMHF, said this is “thanks to the generosity of both individuals and sponsoring businesses.”

The newest event, just two years running, is held mid-Sep-tember at the Blue Wind Gour-met in California. The Epicu-rean Experience offers guests an entire evening of profession-ally prepared cuisines creatively paired with unique wines for new tasting experiences. Although the event is a once per year af-fair, it brings in roughly $12,000. This year, the Epicurean Experi-ence was held Sept. 21.

The annual Gala, sponsored by the SMHF is held on the Fri-day before Thanksgiving. It is “a great kickoff event for the holiday season, and the black-tie social event of the year,” Russell said. For the past few years, the Gala has been held in the social

hall of the Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department (HVFD).

“It’s nice to be able to use the HVFD hall, because our revenue is only limited by the amount of people we can fit in the build-ing,” Russell said. “And that

hall can hold almost 600 people, which means a lot of revenue for the hospital.”

The majority of the money

raised by these events is placed into a fund for the SMHF Schol-arship program, which has awarded opportunities for higher education and long-lasting ca-reers to students since 2001.

“The Scholarship program

was initially set up to address the nursing shortage for St. Mary’s Hospital,” said Barbara Hendricks, director of Human

Resources for the hospital. Hen-dricks, as she puts it, works as “a liaison between the Foundation, the Scholarship program and the hospital.” Three more volunteers run the Scholarship program.

In the past, the Scholarship

program was only available to students pursuing an associate’s degree in nursing, but recently, the Foundation opened the op-

portunity up to those seeking a degree in the general Allied Health area. This includes, but is not limited to, Radiology, Physi-cal Therapy, Ultrasound, and Health Management. St. Mary’s Hospital recognized the short-ages in these areas and decided to make this change to the pro-gram. The Foundation will also meet this month to discuss open-ing the Scholarship program to those students seeking four-year bachelor’s degrees.

These scholarships pay for tuition, lab fees, books and even uniforms, if needed. After re-ceiving their degree, the award-ees have a one-year obligation to work with St. Mary’s Hospi-tal. This provides the hospital with needed employees and the graduates with work experience and a guaranteed job right out of school.

Receiving the SMH Founda-tion Scholarship does not require county residence, a health-relat-ed background, or for applicants to be recent or upcoming high school graduates.

“Most of our applicants ac-tually come from men in their late 20s and early 30s,” Russell said. “Recent high school gradu-ates and older females make up the minority of our applicants.”

Applicants do not need prior medical training or to have at-

tended the James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center while in high School. The pro-gram, according to Russell, is open to anyone in the tri-county area of St. Mary’s, Calvert and Charles Counties wishing to pur-sue a degree in Allied Health or Nursing and start a career with St. Mary’s Hospital.

The number of students ac-cepted is based on the number of applications received. However, “this year and last year the pro-gram has awarded about 12 or 13 applicants with scholarships,” says Hendricks.

The St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation, run solely by vol-unteers, “brings in more and more revenue for the hospital each year,” Russell said. “We have wonderful people that are excellent about rolling up their sleeves, getting the work done and raising the money for their hospital.”

Applications for the St. Mary’s Hospital Scholarship program are available on their website: www.smhwecare.com/foundation.html or in the Human Resources Department at the St. Mary’s Hospital, which can be reached at 301-475-6017. The deadline for the applications this year is Feb. 14.

By Emily FinchStaff Writer

St. John’s Catholic Church in Hollywood is nearly 320 years old. Its presence in Southern Maryland is prominent not only because of its age, but because of its tradition.

For many catholic Southern Maryland families, generations upon generations have attend-ed weekly mass together at St. John’s. Parents continue the tra-dition of sending their children to St. John’s Catholic School, now literally attached to the parish, because they too attended grade school there. Other parents have sent their children to St. John’s Sunday School (CCD) for the same reasons.

Many youngsters can walk through the graveyards on either side of the church and trace their family tree back eight or 10 gen-erations, if not more.

The Knights of Columbus have also paired up with St. John’s and offer a country break-fast once a month in the school’s

cafeteria. This tradition began several years ago and continues today.

Bingo also carries on a tradi-tion. Every Sunday, community members bring their dotters and dollars to St. John’s to benefit the church and school. Whether the jackpot is in 53 numbers or 60, faithful members of the commu-nity gather in to support a good cause, and maybe even come away with a few extra bucks in their pockets. Since the arrival of Fr. Ray Schmidt, St. John’s bingo has been working with ADF Bingo in Mechanicsville.

Although it’s tradition re-mains largely intact, some things at St. John’s have changed. The most recent changes include the renovated building connec-tion between the parish and the school. This new addition is a 1,600 square foot social hall used for school athletic events, CCD, community and parish social functions and group meet-ings, among other things. The $2.5 million project began in the summer of 2005 and is just about

finished. This also included ren-ovations of the parking lot to ac-commodate more parishioners.

Before that, in 1997, the steps to the front doors of the parish were renovated, mak-ing them wider and with strong railings on either side. This was done to accommodate more of the older parishioners, to pro-vide easier burial access and to make the steps safer for every-one. At the same time, the old orange carpet was ripped up and replaced with new blue carpet. Marazzi tile was also added to the interior of the parish.

A new roof was constructed in 1995 to replace the tempo-rary tin roof applied in August of 1898, after a major hailstorm broke down much of the plaster from the old roof. The white vi-nyl siding seen today was added in 1989.

In 1987, Monsignor Martin P. Harris commissioned new ceiling fans inside the church, as well as the oak pews, which are still there today, to be installed in 1987. Before that, the most

recent renovations to the church were in 1905, when Fr. Clement Lancaster (Pas-tor at St. John’s 1904-1906) arranged the installation of 19 stained-glass windows.

On the current church grounds there are a number of sculptures. The largest was also the first. Our Lady of Grace Shrine, located to the right of the church, and next to the new graveyard, was dedicated in 1954. It was damaged in 1997 by a fallen tree, but fully restored by the following year.

In 1955, the Pieta grotto, to the left side of the parish, was dedicated by St. Peter’s Church out of New Jersey.

The last of the current memorial sculptures is in the shape of a gravestone and was dedicated to Moth-er Theresa in 1998 by the St. John’s Knights of Colum-bus. The gravestone reads, “Abortion is the greatest de-stroyer of peace in the world today,” in honor of her di-vine objection to abortion. This stone sits on a grassy area next to the church.

The renovations from 1898 until now have all been on the same building, but St. John’s Catholic Church was not always been in the same building. Since its birth in 1690, there have been three different church buildings on the grounds. The first was but a simple log cabin. It sat 180 yards northeast of the present-day parish building.

In 1780 when the congre-gation grew too large for the simple building, a new church was constructed slightly west-ward of the first. It was just 40’x30’x12’, but much larger than before. This building lasted in its original form for almost 100 years, until 1875 when a 15-foot addition was generated for more seating, as well as two gal-leries added above the windows, and a bell tower.

The second church served as a social hall after the third and

current building was constructed in 1898. Fr. Richley, with the rest of the St. John’s parishioners, spent more than $4,000 to com-mission Joseph Wood of Leonar-dtown to build the new church. He was considered to be the best, and just a few years before had completed the construction of Sacred Heart Church in Bush-wood. The new St. John Francis Regis Catholic Church in Hol-lywood was dedicated on July 18, 1898. Soon after, the second church was demolished because it was considered hazardous.

St. John’s offers many op-portunities for the community to get involved. Within the parish

adults and children alike form three different choirs that sing at the masses. Boys and girls are offered the opportunity to be-come alter servers. The school also provides education to stu-dents in grades K-8. A youth group is also available for eighth through 12th graders.

St. John’s Church is avail-able for weddings and baptisms. For more information or enroll-ment into any of these services visit their website at www.st-johnsparishhollywood.org or contact St. John’s Church at 301-373-2281.
