When Meade High senior wrestler Luther Scott joined the National Guard last April, he didn't expect Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait and the ensuing war.The 17-year-old knows that after graduation, he could be called on to join the ground forces in the Middle East, although his chances may have diminished with yesterday's Iraqi announcement that its troops would withdraw from Kuwait."

If the Meade baseball team makes half of the improvement from 1991 to 1992 that it did from 1990 to 1991, this spring could be one to remember for Elliott Harvey and his troops.Last season, the Mustangsjumped from 4-14 to 11-7, just missing the Region IV playoffs by onegame.Two major cogs on last year's squad, second-team All-County performers Chris Botulinski (first baseman-pitcher) and Lance Taylor, tooktheir arms to the University of Maryland and West Virginia Wesleyan College, respectively, while third-team All-County outfielder Mike Brogden went south to Salisbury State.

Arundel has a healthy Jill Marano, the inside presence of Najmah Fauntleroy, and an experienced supporting girls basketball cast. Glen Burnie counters with youth, speed that triggers relentless defense and a standout of its own, sophomore guard Essence Greer. The teams will meet in Gambrills at 5: 15 tomorrow with identical records -- 10-1 overall, 6-0 in county play. Fourth-ranked Arundel -- state champions in 1996 and finalists in 1995 and 1998 -- has been there. No. 18 Glen Burnie, fresh off a 49-37 win over Meade on Friday, wants to get there.

The season just keeps getting better and better for Old Mill.Regular-season county champs one week, dual-meet state champs the next. And then there was last night, when the No. 5 Patriots continued their incredible ride with their 10th Anne Arundel County Tournament Championship, sneaking past No. 6 Arundel, 209.5-205.5.There were 390 individual matches in the two-day tournament at Chesapeake High and it came down to the final minute of the final period of the final match, with Northeast heavyweight Jim Taylor catching Arundel's Jeff Blachly in a cradle to come away with a 4-3 decision.

Meade coach Sam Pandullo wore a huge smile moments before his visiting Mustangs took the wrestling mat against the Arundel Wildcats in yesterday's dual meet.But his smile was replaced by a frown after Arundel's 160-pounder Phil Stratton pinned William Harvey with 28 seconds remaining in their bout.Stratton's pin gave the Wildcats an overall 27-13 lead in the match. That meant the Mustangs needed at least two pins and a decision to win.But that didn't happen. Arundel (2-3 overall, 1-2 county)
