North Carroll senior sweeper Erica Danton is so strong at her position that she has received more than her share of recognition even though she plays defense. Danton and the Panthers' defense have 10 shutouts and have allowed just five goals in a 12-2 season. What's it like being a defensive star on a highly regarded team such as North Carroll? It feels very exciting. I really enjoy it, and it gives me momentum to keep going and practicing. I feel like a role model to the other players.

When Erica Dahlke was a sophomore at Perry Hall High School, a boy in her chemistry class kept sabotaging her experiments, sometimes to the point where she had to redo them. "At times I thought it was funny," she says, "and other times I was ready to rip his head off." But wisecracking Bryon Epple, a junior, was also charming, and he and Erica had mutual friends and both played soccer and volleyball. After a while, they became friends. As their friendship grew, they were welcomed into one another's homes and often spent time with each other's families.

EMMITSBURG -- Virtually every time Erica Herbert played in a college basketball game anywhere in Maryland, her younger brother, Aaron, was in the crowd to cheer her on."I came to almost every home game the Mount played or whenever they were at Loyola or UMBC," Aaron said yesterday.

She really influenced me."So, his sister will have a spiritual role Friday when Herbert starts at point guard for Mount St. Mary's against second-ranked Michigan State in the opening round of the NCAA Midwest Regional in Milwaukee.

Nervous is how St. Vincent Pallotti senior defender Jazzmine Chandler described the moment. Even a little scared. She didn't feel the jittery flash before the two Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference championship games she has played in, or any of the many times a top-notch forward was trying to race past her. So what had Chandler frazzled? The day after tryouts during her freshman year, the new team was assembled and each player was asked to stand up and say what she could improve on for the coming season.

The trip to Baltimore was to be a surprise for both families: Daniel Phillips planned to celebrate his mother's birthday while Erica Herbert looked forward to spending Father's Day with her dad.Arrangements had been made far in advance, and the only pieces needed to complete the surprises were the arrivals of Mr. Phillips and Ms. Herbert, who had recently become engaged. They loaded their car in Atlanta early June 14 and headed north.But the trip ended tragically several hours later in the small town of Henderson, N.C., when Mr. Phillips apparently fell asleep at the wheel, veered off the road and down an embankment, and struck a tree.
