Agony of defeat The most gut-wrenching play of the Ravens' season came when Miami's Greg Camarillo caught a pass near midfield and ran past the Ravens' defense for a 64-yard touchdown in overtime. It marked the first victory for the Dolphins (1-13), who mobbed one another in the end zone as though they had won the Super Bowl. In the Ravens' locker room, there was eerie silence and looks of disbelief.

Amid tight marking in the latter stages of Wednesday's girls soccer game between No. 5 South River and No. 8 Severna Park, it would take something special to decide the outcome. Settling a short throw-in from Morgan Torggler, Severna Park sophomore midfielder Gabby Moreno made one dribble to find space before unleashing a left-footed shot from 20 yards over South River senior goalie Lyndse Hokanson that found the top right corner. The goal, Moreno's first of the season, came with 7:50 to play and proved to be the decider as the Falcons left Edgewater with a 2-1 win over the Seahawks in the teams' Anne Arundel County opener.

The South River boys lacrosse team is something to watch when at its best in settled situations on attack. The passes are crisp, and the finishing is exact. And senior midfielder Matt Gregoire is usually in the middle of all the fine work. In the third quarter of Wednesday night's Class 4A-3A state championship against Urbana, the No. 11 Seahawks brought surgeon-like precision - scoring five unanswered goals that lifted them past Urbana, 11-6, at UMBC Stadium. Gregoire (five goals, one assist)

There's an extra bounce or two in the steps of the South River boys lacrosse team these days, an added burst of energy and confidence that comes with newfound success. It was clearly evident with the No. 12 Seahawks' play in Friday night's Class 4A-3A state semifinal against Catonsville. Showing more skill, quickness and determination at both ends, the Seahawks methodically established themselves as the better team to earn an 11-5 win that will send them to next week's state championship game at UMBC Stadium.

It took only a few minutes after the final whistle at South River - fast minutes for the host Seahawks and shocking ones for visiting Severna Park - to fully understand that Friday night's boys lacrosse game was much more than a typical regular-season contest. The Seahawks, who pulled out the 7-6 upset win over the No. 11 Falcons, were filled with jubilation and mobbed by their equally enthusiastic fans in the middle of the field. Severna Park, which had won the previous seven Anne Arundel County titles, slowly walked off the field in stunned disbelief.

girls lacrosse No. 3 Annapolis at No. 7 South River WHEN: Monday, 6 p.m. OUTLOOK: The Panthers and the Seahawks are embroiled in a four-way tie for first place in the county with No. 14 Broadneck and No. 11 Severna Park, so this game likely will drop one of them out of contention. Both teams feature balanced attacks and strong goalies, so it could come down to the wire. The Seahawks' Brooke Griffin's ability to control the draw could make the difference, but the goalies - the Panthers' Brittany Pastrana and the Seahawks' Kim Kolarik - might have the most to say about who wins.

Second-ranked Maryland won its third straight Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season championship with a 13-8 home victory over No. 4 North Carolina on Saturday.

Johns Hopkins did everything possible to stay with a bigger, stronger and faster St. Mary's team last night. The Blue Jays scored the game's first 10 points, never lost their poise and pushed the Seahawks until the end.

Since taking over the North County football program five years ago, inheriting a team that had won a combined five games in the prior three years, Gary Liddick's constant challenge has been getting his team to believe it is right there with the better teams. With last year's tough 34-29 last-minute loss to eventual state runner-up Arundel in the Class 4A East regional title game as motivation, the Knights have shown just that. The Knights return 13 starters and are out to a 2-0 start that included their first win over Severna Park in 10 years last weekend.

The North County boys basketball team held off No. 14 Broadneck's second-half rally yesterday to earn a 58-54 win.

The Bruins (13-6) fought back in the second half, however, and cut the lead to six points after three periods and later down to three with a minute left in the game. The Knights sealed the win at the free-throw line, where David Ford, who finished with 13 points, went 4-for-4 in the final minute.

Yesterday, The Seattle Times published a blistering collection of stories critical of the University of Washington football program run by former Ravens offensive assistant Rick Neuheisel, who is the new head coach at UCLA. While Washington had a tremendous season in 2000 under Neuheisel, the articles paint an alarming picture of star players routinely running afoul of the law and Neuheisel and athletic department officials doing far too little to rein in the players. One article was about Jerramy Stevens, now a veteran NFL tight end of modest accomplishment who is probably best remembered by most fans for the handful of passes he dropped in the Super Bowl two years ago while playing for the Seattle Seahawks.
