The senior guard, a four-year varsity player and three-year starter, saved his absolute best for the final second of his high school career. Walker beat the buzzer with a driving layup in Saturday's Class 2A state championship game to give the Red Storm (22-5) a 56-54 win over Wicomico for the program's first title. Walker, an All-Metro first-team selection as a junior, finished the title game with 15 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals. In the team's 60-56 semifinal win over Oakdale, from Frederick County, on Friday, Walker had similar heroics in the second overtime.

Edmondson guard Darius Walker learned from something that happened earlier this season, and that lesson helped the Red Storm win its first state title Saturday night. Walker snaked through traffic and made a driving left-handed bank shot as time expired to give No. 5 Edmondson a 56-54 victory over Wicomico in the Class 2A state title game at the University of Maryland's Comcast Center, the school's first championship in basketball. Fresh in Walker's mind was his choice at the end of regulation in the Baltimore City title game against No. 1 Dunbar last month.

Now that they've had a No. 1 album with "Cracked Rear View," a Top-10 single with "Let Her Cry," and have become a staple of VH1 and MTV, life is different for the guys in Hootie & the Blowfish.People recognize them, for one thing. "It's nothing too crazy, like where we don't go out in public or anything," says drummer Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, over the phone from the band's home base in Columbia, S.C. "But when we walk around as a foursome, I think we've been recognized almost everywhere in America."

With much pomp and circumstance, they held a commencement yesterday at Gateway School in Northwest Baltimore. And for only three graduates. The pomp: robes and mortarboards, processions and recessions, songs and honors for the graduates, camera-toting parents, balloons, more than a few tears of joy. The circumstance: One graduate, Darius Roberts, 10, was honored for having learned to control his emotions and to read a few words. Kevin Thomas, 11, was praised for overcoming the turmoil of a rare disorder that causes him to eat compulsively.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Defenseman Darius Kasparaitis, out at least four more weeks after reconstructive knee surgery, signed a three-year deal believed to be worth a little more than $1 million per season with bonuses factored in.

An 11-month-old baby has died of a heroin overdose, and his mother has been charged with second-degree murder - the second death this year in Baltimore of a baby who ingested the narcotic. Darius Key was found not breathing Sept. 8 at his home in the 200 block of S. Gilmor St. This week, the state medical examiner ruled his death a homicide by "narcotic intoxication," Baltimore police said. Yesterday morning, police charged the boy's mother, Georgianna Key, 23, in the death. In June, a 9-month-old boy died of a heroin overdose in West Baltimore and detectives charged his great-aunt and her boyfriend with second-degree murder after the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

A 17-year-old Baltimore boy was sentenced yesterday to 30 years in prison, with all but 12 years suspended, in the shooting of a man with whom he was involved in a continuing fight. About 9:30 p.m. Nov. 9, Officer Gregory Fisher saw Darius Bacote of the 500 block of Orchard St. fire a handgun five times in the 1300 block of W. North Ave. Fisher chased Bacote, caught him and found a .38-caliber handgun, prosecutors said. Fisher couldn't identify Bacote's target. Police canvassed area hospitals and learned that a man with a gunshot wound to his back had walked in for treatment.

If you first don't succeed, try again. And then, if needed, try yet again. The Edmondson boys basketball had the final possession at the end of regulation and again in the first overtime with the score tied against Oakdale, from Frederick County, but the No. 5 Red Storm was unable to convert the needed points that would send it to the Class 2A state title game. In the same spot in the second overtime, Edmondson senior guard Darius Walker changed the plan. Once again appearing to hold the ball for the final shot, Walker attacked the basket earlier than expected, hitting a running layup with 31 seconds left to give the Red Storm a two-point lead.

When someone has coached for as long as Gilman's Biff Poggi, it becomes difficult to remember the finer details of past games. But he still remembers the moments. Like when Poggi and his Greyhounds found themselves in a "tough situation" locked in a close game a few years ago. The coach recalls becoming overexcited and focusing too much on the outcome of the game. While he may not remember what year the game was or which team Gilman was playing, he can recall a player approaching him. "He comes up to me and says, 'Don't worry, Coach.

A man tried to rob a small grocery store in Annapolis Friday night but was disarmed by employees and arrested, police said. Darius Cameron, 26, of Glen Burnie pulled out a handgun in Anita Spanish Grocery Inc. in the 1900 block of Fairfax Drive at about 9:20 p.m. and demanded money from the cash register, the City of Annapolis Police Department said Saturday. A clerk activated the panic alarm and ignored Cameron's demand for money, police said. He climbed on the counter and then attempted to shoot at the clerk, but the gun did not fire.

The problem: A damaged cluster mailbox in Woodlawn was removed but never replaced. The back story: Cureline Beasley felt she had been patient long enough. The Woodlawn resident used to receive her mail in a cluster mailbox she shared with neighbors in the 100 block of Darius Court. The setup made for efficient mail delivery to that block of the 28-year-old community, allowing the carrier to deliver letters to one location, where residents could collect. But as long ago as November, the door on the back of the box that the carrier used to put mail into boxes broke.

Gilman's Darius Jennings will not be able to play in tonight's Under Armour All-America Game because of lingering effects from a concussion he received in last week's Chesapeake Bowl all-star game. The Baltimore Sun's Offensive Player of the Year is in St. Petersburg, Fla. this week for the game, but because he still had a headache when he arrived in Florida Friday, Jennings said, doctors would not clear him. Jennings said he suffered the concussion after being tackled on a sweep in Thursday night's Chesapeake Bowl at Towson University's Johnny Unitas Stadium in which he played quarterback and wide receiver.

Some famous musicians were playing slightly different tunes in B-more last weekend. Let's start with Darius Rucker. You may know him better as the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish. Darius and his new band put on a benefit concert at the Lyric Opera House, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Carson Scholars Fund. The music was certainly a flash from the past, but not from Darius' own history. Instead of performing the hits that made him famous, he and his band took on Sinatra. And, from what we hear, they did "Ol' Blue Eyes" proud.

The inmate who was fatally stabbed Monday outside his cell at the Baltimore Detention Center has been identified as Darius Solers, officials from the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services said yesterday. Solers, 27, of Baltimore was attacked in a walkway area about noon and was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he died. He had been awaiting trial on drug distribution charges. Spokesman Mark Vernarelli said the department's Internal Investigative Unit has 15 detectives assigned to the case, including two from the state police.
