TO PREPARE for last Saturday's recreation-league championship basketball game, I did what big-time coaches do -- the guys and gals you see on television during this month's college basketball tournaments. I carried a clipboard. I made diagrams showing my players what to do if the other team tried a box-and-one, or a triangle- and-two defense. And I secured a supply of bottled water to keep my team hydrated.We had plenty of supplies, but were short of players. A few minutes before game time, our team had three players in the gym: my son, the son of my fellow coach, Jerry Shifflett, and our star shooter.

The hospital is one of the school's business partners.The money will be used to purchase a Wood's Light -- a lamp used to detect corneal abrasions -- in the hospital's Pediatric Emergency Department.

Player of the YearAmanda Shifflett, Northeast, senior, infielder: The No. 1-ranked Eagles (24-2) were chasing after their ninth state title, against North Carroll, when Shifflett came to the plate with a runner on and two out in the first inning.

Amanda Shifflett provided two runs with one big swing in the top of the first and pitcher Deana Benner did the rest for top-ranked Northeast, which captured the Anne Arundel county championship with a 2-1 win over No. 3 Severna Park last night at Randazzo Park.The Eagles improved to 19-2 on the season as they prepare for the Class 3A East region playoffs, set to start on Friday at City.Last night, Shifflett's two-run homer down the third-base line was all Benner would need as she allowed just five hits with five strikeouts to improve her record to 6-1.Offense has been coming from Shifflett all season long.
