Harford County experienced a decline in homicides in 2007, with a total of five recorded as of late Friday, including three in Edgewood. All of the victims were male, with the youngest a 7-week-old infant who was shaken in an Abingdon apartment. The number of homicides was a slight decrease from the nine in 2006. "I've seen homicide rates go up and down," said Harford County Sheriff L. Jesse Bane. "I'd like to think with strategies, we'll be successful in bringing them down. It's impossible to live anywhere today where you won't have a homicide of some type."

FOOTBALL Edgewood @ North Harford WHEN -- Friday, 7 p.m. OUTLOOK -- Edgewood isn't as strong as it has been in past seasons, but the Rams always give North Harford trouble. The Hawks will need this game to try to secure a top spot in the Class 3A regional playoffs. North Harford QB Dan Griffin controls the offense, but the question is whether the North Harford defense has the speed to shut down the Edgewood offense. North Harford also must stay away from the turnovers that hampered them in last year's loss to Edgewood.

COLLEGE PARK -- Dunbar added another chapter to its seemingly endless book of basketball success yesterday, smothering Edgewood, 79-43, for the state Class 2A championship at Cole Field House.The title was the Poets' sixth in seven seasons, the most ever by a Baltimore-area team. Only Gwynn Park of Prince George's County, which won six championships between 1968 and 1976, has had a comparable streak in recent state tournament history.`We just took them [Edgewood] out of their rhythm, and I'm glad we did because they're quick," said Dunbar coach Lynn Badham, who won his second state title in three seasons.
