College football Richmond at Appalachian State 8 p.m. [ESPN2] This is a semifinal game in the awkwardly named Division I Football Championship Subdivision. I guess one-double-A was waaay too long. Whatever ... we have the giant-killers, Appalachian State - victors over Michigan this season - against Richmond. The other semifinal, Delaware-Southern Illinois, is tomorrow. After knocking off the Wolverines, Appalachian State is 11-2 and going for a national championship threepeat. Richmond is also 11-2.

The River Hill girls basketball team, which has won four straight county championships and captured its first Class 3A state title last season, finds itself in familiar territory with the regular season in its final week. The path taken this winter, however, has been far different from recent years. The Hawks' 36-35 win at Mount Hebron on Thursday typifies the scratch-and-claw identity of the team. Trailing 31-23 after three quarters and still down by six with 2:20 to play, the Hawks got a put-back from Alicia Seelaus with two seconds left to edge the Vikings and put themselves in position for another county championship game appearance.

Paul Cantabene swivels a chair in his Owings Mills office, converted space that used to be the Ravens' and Colts' headquarters. Stan Ross text-messages his former players and plots a career change from his mother's home in Lutherville. Cantabene and Ross were teammates at Loyola College in the early 1990s. They were assistants at Towson University when it reached the NCAA semifinals in 2001. They had plenty of shared experiences during their respective love affairs with college lacrosse - until they became head coaches, one in a division that's booming, the other in a level that doesn't reflect the game's growth.

Collin Finnerty, one of three former Duke lacrosse players falsely accused last year of raping an exotic dancer at a team party, could end up in a Loyola College uniform. Sources at Loyola confirmed that the school is pursuing Finnerty and could receive a commitment soon from the 6-feet-3, 175-pound attackman out of Chaminade High School in Garden City, N.Y. All charges against Finnerty and ex-Duke players David Evans and Reade Seligmann were dropped last month. The incident led to the cancellation of Duke's 2006 season after eight games, and to the resignation of 16-year coach Mike Pressler, who is now coaching at Division II Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I. Finnerty, who has two years of eligibility remaining, appeared in five games last year and had two goals and one assist.

But the Orioles have also showed over the past two days that they are plenty good enoughto match up with one of their division rivals, too. The Orioles took their second straight gameagainst the Toronto Blue Jays last night, 5-2, thanks to an opportunistic offense and another nearperfect outing from their bullpen.
