The Loch Raven girls soccer team did everything that was needed to bring home the Class 1A state championship against Harford Tech on Saturday afternoon at UMBC Stadium. The Raiders got the all-important first goal from sophomore midfielder Kayla Toole late in the first half and then stayed persistent the rest of the way to make sure it would hold. The result was a 1-0 win over Harford Tech for the program's sixth state title and first since 2003. After the Loch Raven girls' victory, the Raiders boys defeated Pocomoke, 3-2 in overtime, at UMBC.

The recent Harford Tech numbers fairly screamed for attention: A 5-1 record, with one player getting 35 points in successive games to raise his county-leading scoring average to 28.3.Last year, with three of the current starters in the starting lineup, Tech lost its first 11 games and ended with only six wins.Scoring leader Kelly Turner, a 6-foot-2 senior from Edgewood, is only part of this season's winning equation.He is joined by the other returning starters, junior Lechea Johns, the third member of an Edgewood family to star for the Cobras in recent years, and sophomore Pete Surette, a 5-10 guard from Aberdeen.

Juniors Molly Bole and Laurie Giorno combined for a no-hitter yesterday, as John Carroll (8-1, 2-0) defeated Harford Tech (0-6, 0-2), 15-4, in a Harford County League softball game.Both pitchers went three innings. Kelly Barnes, Katie Nietubicz and Amity Torbitt had two RBI each for John Carroll.

C. Milton Wright and Harford Tech nearly brought home two state baseball championships for Harford County last weekend, but both suffered heartbreaking losses. The Mustangs held a one-run lead in the seventh inning but couldn't hang on and suffered a 7-6 loss to Sherwood from Montgomery County in eight innings in the Class 4A state title game. Harford Tech's loss in the Class 1A title game to St. Michael's might have been more painful. The Cobras were just one out away from the championship but couldn't finish the job, and St. Michael's scored two runs to pull out a 4-3 victory.

The baseball and softball UCBAC division races have all been settled, and I must say that they were some of the tightest, most hotly contested I have witnessed during my time at The Aegis. Baseball in the Chesapeake Division came down to one head-to-head matchup, as did Susquehanna Division softball, and though the Susquehanna Division baseball was not decided on a single ball field (Rising Sun clinched with a win over Perryville on Wednesday, at the same time second-place Harford Tech was beating Havre de Grace)

I had such a good time with last week's by-the-numbers baseball and softball breakdown that I'm going to throw another one out there. We have had more than enough interesting results come through since last Friday, so here is some food for thought. Keep in mind, these numbers take into account only UCBAC baseball and softball teams, and only those games played through Wednesday. Zero: The number of UCBAC baseball and softball teams with perfect overall records. This went from one to none on Monday afternoon, when the North Harford softball team shocked the previously unbeaten Rising Sun squad, 4-0. I honestly thought the Tigers had a shot at going without a loss, considering how they were mowing through the Chesapeake Division, but the Hawks were having none of it. Consider this: last Friday the Hawks beat C. Milton Wright, 11-6, then topped Rising by shutout three days later.

Unlike some sports, which are played indoors or during seasons when the threat of games being postponed by rain is not a major concern, the softball and baseball teams of Upper Chesapeake Bay Athletic Conference (UCBAC) jump into divisional play almost from the get-go. Where a soccer or basketball squad might have three weeks worth of games before they square off with a Chesapeake or Susquehanna Division opponent, some baseball and softball teams came into this week having played nothing but division contests.
