When Seton Keough lost to Lutheran during the regular season, there was something lacking in their defense.

From what he saw in last week's rain-shortened A Division match at Eisenhower Golf Course, Broadneck coach Pete Regala Jr. doesn't expect any team to run away with the Anne Arundel County public schools title."

Arundel, Broadneck and Severna Park have taken turns dominating the Anne Arundel County public schools golf scene for the past decade, but after the first A Division match of the 1996 season it's upstart Old Mill that has the honors.Old Mill, a school that has spent the past two decades racking up championships in track and field, is finally enjoying some success on the fairways.

As a freshman at Park School, Kim Smith played on an AIS championship lacrosse team.She scored three goals, including the game-winner, to lead the Bruins to an 8-7 win over Mercy for the B Division championship. Still, something wasn't quite right.Smith couldn't help but wonder how she would fare in the AIS A Division.
