No. 2 North County (6-0, 4-0) survived a scare Friday night in Ferndale and held on for a 20-15 victory over Severna Park (2-4, 1-2).Former Maryland star Jamie Bragg, who was honed in the run-and-shoot offense as a Terp, devised a 3-5, mixed with a 4-2, defensive scheme that slowed the Knights' prolific run-and-shoot. Bragg served as the Falcons' defensive coordinator, the first time head coach Andy Borland has relinquished the role.Borland had always been his own offensive and defensive coordinator until giving way to his former All-Metro lineman, and it almost paid off.Bragg's defense meant five interceptions for the Falcons -- two each by Josh Cornett and Shaun Hunt -- and held the Knights' record-setting quarterback, Mike Evans, to one touchdown pass.

Each spring many local restaurants advertised "Specials on Shad roe. " Almost any way you could think of was a good idea. I personally enjoyed roe with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Sautéed roe for lunch or dinner was also very good. The local grocery stores advertised roe in their ads. We even had a local canner, "Tidewater," offer canned roe that made it available seasonable.
