EMMITSBURG -- Until a little more than a week ago, Silas Cheung always seemed to be on the outside looking in.In high school in Montgomery County, Cheung's Mount St. Mary's teammates Chris McGuthrie (Springbrook) and Riley Inge (Paint Branch) attracted most of the attention while Cheung played in comparative obscurity at Magruder.At the Mount, it had been more of the same.While McGuthrie was Northeast Conference Newcomer of the Year in 1992, Cheung was redshirted with a pulled hamstring muscle.

EMMITSBURG -- It was the moment when Silas was golden.Date: March 5, 1995. Site: the Rider College gymnasium, affectionately known as, "the Broncs' Zoo." Situation: Mount St. Mary's down at halftime, 29-16.What followed was what Mount institution Jim Phelan called "one of the most outstanding performances the school has ever had in an important game. It was exciting, kind of once in a lifetime for everybody."A virtually unknown sophomore guard named Silas Cheung came off the bench to score 19 second-half points, propelling the Mount to a 69-62 victory in the Northeast Conference title game and into its first NCAA Division I tournament.

Two men forced their way into a house in Linthicum, ransacked it and left the family of five bound by their wrists and ankles in the basement Wednesday, county police said.The account was similar to a home-invasion robbery in November 1996 about a half-mile away. In both cases, Asian men posing as deliverymen forced their way inside the homes of Asian families, bound their victims and stole jewelry and cash. In both cases, the victims saw a white car.Wednesday, a man with a package approached a house on Eagle Drive about 4: 30 p.m., police said.

Peter Cheung is trying to follow the path blazed by the people who founded stores like Scan and Ikea -- bring the furniture of one's heritage from a far-off land and sell it in America.Cheung has followed such a path from China to Elkridge. And while U.S. 1 might be the last place you would expect to find intricately carved furniture made from an exotic hardwood, Cheung finds it a suitable locale."There's more traffic and it's a bigger place," he said. "Before, we were behind an industrial park."

In previous seasons, Silas Cheung could drift around the court, find an open spot while the opponents' attention was directed elsewhere and do his thing -- which was shoot.He could count on the defense paying a lot of heed to Chris McGuthrie and-or Riley Inge, his fellow guards who knew how to get him the ball when they were double-teamed."Most of the time I would just have to stand and they would create shots for me," said the Mount St. Mary's guard, the only senior on this season's roster.

EMMITSBURG -- Rider found the right formula last night and used it to most likely almost certainly knock Mount St. Mary's out of the NCAA tournament.Exacting revenge for last season's upset loss at home in the final, the fourth-seeded Broncs advanced to this year's Northeast Conference championship game with a 74-70 semifinal victory before 3,000 raucous fans at Knott Arena. Rider (19-10) dominated the Mount early with an overpowering perimeter defense, gained a 15-point advantage, and then protected it the rest of the game.
