But they stayed. And in a series of victories that residents view as an example for other aging neighborhoods, they managed to turn life around in their community.

Catonsville standout forward Peyton Johnson has incredible ball skills, 20-20 vision of the field and a shot that's both heavy and precise. On Tuesday night against visiting Loch Raven, however, the All-Metro senior's most important quality was persistence. Frustrated throughout regulation by sticky marking from Loch Raven defender Sarah Krejcik and save after save by All-Metro senior goalie Danielle DeLisle, Johnson made the most of an overtime chance in tight quarters. Making a strong run to goal, she received a short cross from senior Becca Garman and promptly placed a shot to the lower left corner from 10 yards with 4:28 left in the first overtime to give the No. 13 Comets a 1-0 win over the Raiders.

With a two-goal lead, Moses then moved to sweeper and made several crucial clearances as the Raiders held on for a 3-2 victory.
