Calvert

Before there was Caller I.D., there was the telephone exchange.This is a term that must baffle those who know only touch tone, area code, star and pound.Consider Homewood, Calvert, Ridgeway and Elgin. These were once a part of daily communication usage in Baltimore. If you lived at Fleet and Milton you might have been an Eastern or a Broadway. Those were telephone exchanges -- actual neighborhood buildings where operators toiled to hand-connect wires on a switchboard.Those blessed with perfect telephonic memory will recall some of Baltimore's classic numbers of the retail trade: Calvert 1000 was O'Neill's department store.

Nothing separated the Calvert Hall and Archbishop Curley baseball teams until the bottom of the sixth inning of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championship final on Tuesday.

When Gimblet got his second chance, he used it, driving a single through the gap to center field, bringing home Alex Pastorius for the only run of the game . A half-inning later, Calvert Hall had won, 1-0, claiming its first title in three years.

Going into the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference playoffs, Calvert Hall coach Bryan Kelly said a team has to be playing great lacrosse and also have some breaks go its way to claim one of the country's most prized championships. In Friday's title game against No. 2 Loyola, his No. 1 Cardinals skipped the good fortune and were just plain great. Taking charge with a precise second quarter that finished with four unanswered goals, the Cardinals proved better in every facet in earning a 17-3 win over the Dons in front of an announced 5,684 Johnny Unitas Stadium.

Loyola Blakefield and St. Paul's, two of the most surprising teams in the in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference playoffs and struggling to stay close to .500, staged a slugfest Thursday afternoon with the Dons' nine-run, fourth-inning haymaker being the difference in their 13-8 victory. St. Paul's, which eliminated top-seeded Gilman, 11-4, on Wednesday, was also unceremoniously shoved out of the postseason party after Loyola scored its most runs of the season against four Crusader pitchers.

Moments after a four-goal, four-assist performance Tuesday helped send his team back to the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championship, Calvert Hall's All-Metro senior attackman Patrick Kelly wasn't ready to talk about Friday's big game just yet.

"Tomorrow's a practice day, we got to prepare for who we have in the championship and that's all I'm looking at right now - the next day," he said.

One of the many strengths on the 2012 Calvert Hall boys lacrosse team is an attack that features a handful of players capable of taking over a game. But when the No. 1 Cardinals were getting a significant push from No. 4 Boys' Latin in Tuesday's Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference semifinal, it was no surprise that All-Metro senior Patrick Kelly was the one who took on the lead role. Kelly finished with four goals and four assists - scoring three straight goals in the decisive second half which gave his team its final lead - and the Cardinals survived a final-possession scare to come away with a 11-10 win over Boys' Latin at Johnny Unitas Stadium in Towson.
