LUSBY - She walked barefoot along the gravel road, her pink nightshirt stained. The girl wore her hair in pigtails, each fastened with a pink barrette, her dark hair so matted it looked as if it were in dreadlocks. Phillip Garrett, smoking a cigarette on his neighbor's front lawn in the Calvert County neighborhood, called out to the girl. "My mother beats me. She just beats me to death," the 7-year-old, covered in bruises and cuts, responded, according to witnesses and police. Those startling words Friday night set off an investigation by the Calvert County sheriff's office that resulted in a grim discovery Saturday at the girl's home - children's remains in a large freezer in the basement.

BOYS Eric Lusby, Severna Park, lacrosse The senior combined for nine goals and four assists last week in victories over Annapolis and Westminster in the Class 4A-3A East regional final and the Class 4A-3A state semifinal games. With 63 goals and 29 assists this year, Lusby leads the defending 4A-3A state champions into their eighth state final in the past nine years today against Wootton (18-0) of Montgomery County. The Falcons, won titles in 1999, 2004 and last year, and were runners-up in 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2005 - all to Dulaney.

Severna Park senior Eric Lusby said before the Anne Arundel County boys lacrosse championship game that he was glad the Falcons were playing Broadneck again after a two-goal victory over the Bruins in the regular season. "We didn't play well in that game and we have to really prove that we are better," said Lusby, who is headed to Loyola College. "We wanted to show Broadneck how good we are." Lusby and the No. 10 Falcons (13-2) sure did last night at Glen Burnie High School with a 9-2 rout of the No. 11 Bruins (12-3)

It's almost standard procedure for virtually everyone who stands at the precipice between life and death to declare he or she has been transformed once being pulled back, to say that nothing will ever be the same. Randy Waugh, an attacker on Severna Park's boys lacrosse team, has made a similar pledge, 2 1/2 months after a freak skateboarding accident cost him nearly all of his senior season, and nearly his life. You got the feeling, however, as Waugh scored four goals last night in his first game of the season, a 14-7 win over Southern, that this promise isn't just of the moment, that it really means something and that it will hold for the rest of his life.

Colby Rhodes had all of his 10 points (seven goals, three assists) in the first half as defending 4A-3A state champion Severna Park routed visiting Anne Arundel County rival Old Mill, 17-2, yesterday.

Jed Barnes (one goal) and Simon Rupert helped provide an 18-5 advantage in faceoffs for the Falcons (9-1 overall, 8-0 league), who won the game's first seven faceoffs. Severna Park dominated early, leading 7-0 entering the second quarter and 13-0 at halftime.

Anne Arundel County prosecutors settled for what might be as little as five years in prison for a man who admitted causing the death of his girlfriend's toddler, after his statement to Annapolis police was thrown out because detectives arrested him in a neighboring county without a local law enforcement officer present. In a plea agreement that ended the case yesterday, Gerald E. Parker, 25, the live-in boyfriend of an Annapolis mother, accepted a 10-year sentence in the death Jan. 6 of 18-month-old Azakia Tynadra Mitchell.

When Severna Park attackman Eric Lusby made his varsity lacrosse debut last spring as a sophomore, he managed to blend in effortlessly with the defending county and regional champions. Playing within the flow of the game, he fed the ball to his older teammates and scored when the opportunity presented itself. There was only one problem. Severna Park coach Jim Beardmore wanted Lusby to do more than just fit in. He wanted him to dominate. "Last year, Eric had to establish his confidence as a varsity player and that was a gradual process," Beardmore said.
