A year ago, Severna Park needed four overtimes to shake St. Mary's, but the Saints didn't need quite as long to take the rematch.The No. 2-ranked Saints used an early second-half rally to hold off the No. 5 Falcons for a 9-7 victory in last night's season opener at Severna Park's Roberts Field.Early on, the game seemed headed for a repeat of last year's 6-5 quadruple overtime event. There were ties at 1, 2, 3 and 4, and neither team managed more than a one-goal lead for 36 minutes.Then the Saints, who struggled with their transition game early, started making connections and put together the only significant run of the game.

When Brad Best took over the controls of the St. Mary's football team four years ago he introduced the Saints to what was then a new offensive idea -- the run-and-shoot.Best envisioned taking his team to new heights with the pass-oriented attack, but a shifty sophomore running back named Joe Conte left Best no other choice but to keep the ball on the ground."In the past, we haven't been your typical run-and-shoot kind of team, but this year, we're looking to throw a lot more," said Best, whose team finished second in the Maryland Scholastic Association C Conference last year behind co-champions Severn and St. Paul's.
