Archbishop Curley

Senior Craig Oliver had been a running back his entire career before stepping into Patterson's starting quarterback role this fall. Against Archbishop Curley at Saturday's I-95 Kickoff Classic at Morgan State, Oliver's rushing instincts took over at a critical moment. With the Clippers clinging to a one-point lead and working from their own 23-yard line, Oliver took the snap and headed toward the right sideline. Much of Curley's defense had him pinned in, so he lateraled the ball to Anthony Dandridge, who raced 72 yards for a touchdown.

A 41-year-old friar and former teacher at Baltimore's Archbishop Curley High School was arrested this week in Connecticut and charged with inappropriate conduct with a child, according to police. Michael Miller, a member of the Conventual Franciscan Friars, was charged Tuesday with risking injury, impairing the morals of a minor and attempted acts of obscenity, according to the Berlin, Conn., Police Department. He was freed in lieu of $150,000 bail and was ordered to appear in court in Berlin on July 26. Officials at Archbishop Curley High School confirmed Thursday that Miller taught religion there in the mid-1990s and again between 2003 and 2006.

Archbishop Curley High School will join the list of schools looking for a new baseball coach for next season after Jack Thomas resigned. Thomas, 60, led the Friars to a record of 104-88 in seven seasons. His most successful year was 2008, when the Friars finished 23-8, third in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association and ranked No. 5 in the state. "I loved my years coaching at Curley and am grateful to have had the opportunity to coach in the MIAA A Conference," Thomas said.

The junior right-hander threw a complete game with nine strikeouts, allowing two hits and no earned runs in the No. 13 Friars' 7-4 victory over then-No. 7 Mount St Joseph. During a 3-0 start for the Friars, who began the season unranked, he has batted .333 with a .566 slugging percentage. He also has a couple of doubles and two RBIs. Salkowski, who has a 3.9 GPA, played summer ball last season for the Harford Sox and plans to play this summer for the Maryland Monarchs. Others considered: Chris Frederick, South Carroll, lacrosse; Johnny Kelly, Calvert Hall, lacrosse; Avery Littlejohn, Severna Park, lacrosse; Eric Rowe, Parkville, baseball; Matt Russo, North Harford, lacrosse; Zach Scott, River Hill, baseball

When Giuliano Celenza was first signing with the Blast as a 21-year-old out of college, general manager Kevin Healey received a phone call from another Major Indoor Soccer League official. "He wanted to know if Jules' visa was in place," Healey recalled with a smile. That inquiry about Celenza, who is of Italian heritage, was off by an ocean and a continent. The young man's heart has always been in Highlandtown, and his body has followed obediently. From where Celenza was born and grew up, he easily could have walked to the Blast's offices and practice facility.

E. Patrick Moloney, a banker turned educator who passed onto generations of Archbishop Curley High students his enthusiasm and passion for American and Maryland history, died Saturday of congestive heart failure at Stella Maris Hospice in Timonium. The longtime Northeast Baltimore resident was 79. Mr. Moloney, the son of a Baltimore police officer and a homemaker, was born Edward Patrick Moloney in Baltimore and raised in the city's Bel Air-Edison neighborhood. "He never used his first name," said his wife of 33 years, the former Rose Dagostaro.

It took two overtimes for the Archbishop Curley soccer team to score the game's only goal and send No. 1 McDonogh (11-2) home with its second loss of the season. Three minutes into the second overtime, Michael Sauers was awarded a penalty kick and made good on his opportunity, putting the ball into the net for the game-winning goal. Coach Barry Stitz said he was pleased with the way his Friars (5-6-1) handled the pressure applied by the Eagles (11-2). "The boys played hard and took the pressure and created enough chances to win," Stitz said.
