Navy Lt. Mark Tedrow has no problem reconciling an air show with a commemoration of the War of 1812, an era that precedes flight by almost a century. The Blue Angels pilot said he looks forward to flying over the Inner Harbor, Middle River and Fort McHenry - birthplace of the national anthem - during a bicentennial celebration in June. "It will be outstanding to perform multiple maneuvers over Fort McHenry," he said. "It will show just how far we have come. " Tedrow and his co-pilot flew into Martin State Airport in Middle River on Thursday to give a small preview of what the Navy's renowned flight team will do for the bicentennial maritime and air festival that kicks off June 13. "Stake out your places on the waterfront so you don't miss a thing," said Lt. Cmdr.

Navy was selected fifth in the Patriot League preseason poll based on, in part, a 4-9 overall record and a 2-4 mark in the conference last season. The Midshipmen finished out of the top four in the league and failed to qualify for the conference tournament for the first time in school history. Joe Alberici is well aware of those results, but the Army coach said overlooking Navy under the guidance of new coach Rick Sowell would be a mistake. “The demise of Navy is greatly exaggerated,” Alberici said last week.

Football coach Ken Niumatalolo released the names Navy's 2011 recruits on Thursday night as 52 prospects representing 16 states went through induction ceremonies and began plebe summer. "We are very excited about the group we have coming in this year," Niumatalolo said.

" The state of Florida produced the most prospects with eight, while six incoming recruits are from Texas.

Navy's 9-4 loss to No. 9 Lehigh Friday night was exacerbated by the disappearance of the team's offense, which failed to score a goal over the final 42 minutes, 2 seconds of the contest. It was the first time that the Midshipmen had been shut out in a half since April 23 when Johns Hopkins blanked the offense en route to a 14-5 rout. In retrospect, coach Rick Sowell said the offense was stymied by its own inability to execute and a Mountain Hawks defense that ranks first in Division I after allowing an average of 5.5 goals.

Loren Generi, Navy Freshman, Bayport, N.Y., attacker Generi scored a career-high seven goals last Friday to help Navy clinch the Patriot League regular-season title with a 19-6 win over second-place American. The seven goals - which came on just nine shots - tied the school's single-game scoring record for freshmen and were one shy of Danielle Vivonetto's single-game school mark. Generi scored five straight goals during a 15-1 run and added eight draw controls and three ground balls.

In both the classroom and running track, Liberty standout Ashley Ross has shown a knack for getting things done in a quick and efficient manner. She maintains a 4.4 GPA and will be graduating a year early to attend the Naval Academy in the fall. She first plans to add to her impressive track resume as she closes out her high school career competing in four events (200 meters, 400, 800 relay, 1600 relay) at this week's Class 2A state track and field championships. The No. 2 Lions are the defending champions.

The first African-American to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy has died, according to an announcement from the school Wednesday. Wesley Brown started at the academy in 1945, after the first five black men to attend failed to complete their first year there. He graduated 370th out of nearly 800 graduates in 1949, gaining national media attention, and went on to have a 20-year career in the Navy. Brown, who was in his 80s, was a veteran of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and spent time with the Navy working in various other countries.

David Sperry, a starting cornerback for the Navy football team, has left the school after violating academy rules, two sources familiar with the situation said Tuesday. Sperry, a 5-foot-11, 182-pound senior from Las Vegas, started all 12 games for the Midshipmen last season, finishing third on the team in tackles with 70. He also had two interceptions. Sperry was expected to start again for Navy in 2012. The departure of Sperry has elevated little-used Jonathan Wev, a 5-9, 196-pound junior, to first on the team's depth chart.

When they graduated from River Hill High School in 2008, Jonathan Hill , Rajiv Stone and Daniel Thyberg had a grueling summer of physical training awaiting them as they prepared to attend the U.S. Naval Academy together. Four years later, the three friends, all Clarksville natives, are looking forward to graduation and impending commissions as officers. Hill, a history major, will board the USS Ramage, a destroyer based in Norfolk, Va., in June as the ship's auxiliary officer.

They departed the northwest coast of France two months ago — 26 crew members each aboard two historic French Navy schooners headed to North America. With relatively calm seas, a chef well-versed in French cuisine and plenty of technological updates to the World War II-era ships, the boats made an easy voyage to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. On Sunday, the public got the chance to tour them. The schooners made the journey as part of the bicentennial of the War of 1812.

There were times in recent seasons when Navy's offense would go weeks without making any huge gaffes. The snaps from center Brady DeMell to quarterbacks Ricky Dobbs and Kriss Proctor would be crisp, and thehandoffs from Dobbs and Proctor to fullbacks Vince Murray and Alexander Teich textbook. Even if the Midshipmen did not run the true triple option, particularly with Dobbs, Navy often played mistake-free. The rushing game was ranked in the top six in each of the last four seasons, including No. 1 in 2008.

Before Sunday night's NCAA Division I women's lacrosse tournament brackets were announced, Maryland appeared headed for a top-four seed, but the dominoes had to fall just right for Loyola and Towson to earn their first-round home games. Navy will take to the road. Maryland earned the third seed behind top-seeded Florida and second-seeded and defending champion Northwestern. Syracuse is the fourth seed. Loyola is seeded sixth thanks to its Big East Conference championship victory over Syracuse and Towson gets the eighth seed thanks in part to a couple of other Maryland teams.
