Century senior Julian Woods doesn't have time to reflect on his sensational four-year career or think ahead to graduating and running at Mount St. Mary's next year. There's no time for that right now. Woods, who owes a large part of his success to his diligent preparation, is focused on helping the No. 1 Knights win the program's first boys outdoor track and field state championship starting Thursday at Morgan State. Century dominated the Class 2A West region last weekend - with Woods once again taking the lead role - defeating second-place Liberty by a 174.5-83.5 margin.

Knight, a senior counselor at the Foreign Born Information and Referral Network (FIRN) in Harper's Choice village in Columbia, said she understands patois, a English dialect spoken by many West Africans, but "I can make do with everyone else."

Casual basketball followers in Baltimore City might not remember Daishon Knight . The 6-foot-1, 188-pound combo guard didn't play for Lake Clifton during his senior year of high school in 2010, and he never suited up for a local AAU team either. But starting this fall, hoops fans from this area will get a chance to follow Knight's progress on a bigger stage when he takes the court for Illinois State. Knight, a West Baltimore native, signed his letter of intent to play for the Redbirds last week.

In the aftermath of No. 13 Johns Hopkins' devastating 8-4 loss to then-No. 7 Loyola last Saturday, senior defenseman Tucker Durkin said the week of practice leading up to Friday night's contest at Army would be the most important one of the season. Coach Dave Pietramala said he has been pleased with the players' effort and attention to detail Monday and Tuesday. But one thing the Blue Jays are not paying attention to is their tournament profile. “We don't really talk about it because we can't control that,” Pietramala said Wednesday morning.

Eli Carter, a 6-foot-2 guard who received his release from Rutgers after the firing of controversial coach Mike Rice Jr., announced Friday on Twitter that he will choose between Maryland and Florida. Carter led the Scarlet Knights in scoring as both a freshman (13.8 points per game) and again as a sophomore (14.9) before suffering a season-ending broken leg in mid-February. Given the circumstances of Carter's transfer - coming after Rice was forced out amid charges of physically and verbally abusing his players during practice - he might be allowed to play immediately rather than having to sit out the one year normally required by the NCAA.

The Century boys showed their depth at Saturday's Pikesville Track Classic. Julian Woods won three different events, and Jake Stefanick finished first in another, but it was Chandler Kennell's late win in the pole vault - the last event to finish - that pushed No. 2 Century past No. 6 Digital Harbor at Pikesville. Kennell set a meet record with his effort of 14 feet, one inch. Nicholas Neral added a fourth-place finish in the event, and those 13 points let Century (69) top Digital Harbor (60)

katherine.dunn@baltsun.com The Notre Dame Prep Girls Lacrosse Tournament wasn't set up to crown an overall winner, but the Century players certainly left Towson at least feeling like champions. And, with county opponents Liberty (April 2), Urbana (April 4) and Walkersville (April 9) on the horizon, it was a good thing to be challenged by such an ambitious non-league schedule. In the second annual three-team, round-robin event on March 30, the No. 10 Knights came way with wins over No. 3 Notre Dame Prep, 12-9, and No. 4 South River, 17-5.

The Notre Dame Prep Girls Lacrosse Tournament wasn't set up to crown an overall winner, but the Century players certainly left Towson on Saturday afternoon feeling like champions. In the second annual three-team, round-robin event, the No. 10 Knights came way with wins over No. 3 Notre Dame Prep, 12-9, and No. 4 South River, 17-5. Playing their second and third ranked opponents in eight days, the Knights wanted to make up for an 11-7 loss to then-No. 10 C. Milton Wright on March 23. In that game, they fell behind, 4-0, when the Mustangs started off with four extra-man goals in two minutes and Century never caught up. This time, the Knights, the defending Class 3A-2A state champions, used their own extra-man goals to get the jump on the Seahawks in the final game of the tournament.

By the time Century got possession for the first time Saturday at C. Milton Wright, the Knights already were in big trouble. After winning the game's first four draws and scoring four quick goals, the No. 10 Mustangs remained in command in an 11-7 victory over the No. 6 Knights. C. Milton Wright (1-0) suffered a 10-8 loss to Class 3A-2A defending state champion Century (1-1) in last year's state semifinals, and the defeat is still fresh for the Mustangs. But C. Milton Wright coach Brent Ritz said this is a new season and, even though they remember last year's playoff loss, he wanted his team to start on its new turf field with a strong performance.

Playing against one of the nation's best defenses and a hot goalie in their fifth game in 15 days, No. 4 Loyola didn't have an easy time Saturday. Despite never trailing, the Greyhounds couldn't pull away against Bellarmine, and Loyola needed to grind out an 8-6 victory in an Eastern College Athletic Conference game at the Ridley Athletic Complex. "Five games in 15 days is quite a bear. I give my guys a lot of credit," Loyola coach Charley Toomey said about the stretch, which also included games against Delaware, Towson, Maryland and UMBC.
