Ralet won the county and Region V championships in boys No. 1 singles, leading the Patriots, who were fourth in 2003, to the dual championships. Going into the state tournament, Ralet was 16-0, but lost in the first round.

"Derek is really solid in the fundamentals and makes everything look so easy," said Old Mill coach Krissy Dryden.

Another Brown player was killed a year later after being struck by a car.Dom Starsia can't help but preach togetherness."After the second player died, I was pretty hollow. I didn't know what was going on," said Starsia, Virginia's first-year coach whose team will meet No. 6 Johns Hopkins today at Homewood Field.

RICHMOND, Va. -- A stifling defensive performance early in the game set the tone for No. 11 Loyola's 7-5 victory over No. 13 George Mason yesterday in a Colonial Athletic Association Tournament semifinal at University of Richmond Stadium. The Greyhounds (11-2) will need more of the same in this afternoon's final -- the fifth straight title-game showdown between Loyola and defending champ James Madison.

An Eagle Scout who was mistaken for a bank robber and shot in the face by an FBI agent in Pasadena on Friday remained in serious but stable condition at Maryland Shock Trauma Center last night. Joseph Charles Schultz, 20, was shot at close range about 6 p.m. Friday when FBI agents searching for a bank robbery suspect pulled over his girlfriend's car. Schultz, who lives in the 7900 block of Seabreeze Drive in Orchard Beach in Anne Arundel County and works with fiber optics for a local medical company, has no connection to the bank robbery, officials said.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR Krissy Browning Fallston, senior Browning, a forward who will attend Gettysburg next fall and play lacrosse and field hockey, had scored enough goals before this season to be a known commodity around the county. But it would've been hard for anyone to foresee the kind of season she had. Relentless, lightning-quick, aggressive and highly skilled, Browning was a factor in every game, scoring 15 goals to go along with eight assists. She scored clutch goals, tallying the game-winners against C. Milton Wright and Towson just days apart in the state playoffs.

IT'S TIME FOR his peers, friends and former players to give back to Dick Edell, the former "Big Man" on the University of Maryland campus. For nearly two decades, Edell, the former Terps lacrosse coach, gave more than he received. But on Sept. 21, Edell and his daughter, Krissy, in conjunction with the University of Maryland Alumni Association, are holding a 3-mile walk-a-thon on the campus to raise money to help find a cure for inclusion body myositis, a disease that gradually destroys muscle fiber and tissue and incapacitates its victims' arms and legs.

A Pasadena man mistakenly shot in the face by an FBI agent searching for a bank robber filed a $10 million lawsuit yesterday against three agents, alleging that they disregarded bureau arrest policies and then played down the potentially deadly result, telling an informant at the scene: "This [expletive] happens every day." Joseph C. Schultz, 21, was shot in the face after agents stopped the car his then-girlfriend, Kristen M. "Krissy" Harkum, was driving. Harkum, now 17, was not wounded in the shooting, but she also filed a $10 million lawsuit yesterday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore to compensate her for "severe emotional injury."
