After winning the school's first-ever national championship, the Stevenson men's lacrosse team has been selected to receive the Henry Ciccarone Memorial Award by the Touchdown Club of Annapolis as the organization's Collegiate Team of the Year. "For the past 40 years or so, the Touchdown Club has chosen one college lacrosse team in Maryland to receive this award," president Justin Mullen said. "There was no debate this year as Stevenson's outstanding 2013 season that culminated in the school's first Division III national championship clearly stood out above the rest.

Reggie Boyce rushed for a career-high 141 yards and two touchdowns - including a school record 99-yard touchdown run - to power Salisbury State past visiting Chowan, 19-7, in an Atlantic Central Football Conference game yesterday. Salisbury (4-2, 2-1), winner of three straight for the first time since 1998, scored all of its points in the second quarter. The Sea Gulls' first points came on Boyce's 99-yard run. Quarterback Mac Mollet capped a three-play, 5-yard drive with a 2-yard option for a 13-0 Salisbury lead.

The quarterback of Maryland's past - and presumably its future - stood on the sideline with a ball cap and a headset, signaling in plays. Recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, C.J. Brown has been limited to 7-on-7 drills and was unable to play in Friday night's spring game in front of an announced 8,200 fans at Byrd Stadium. So Brown, who will be a redshirt senior, watched other quarterbacks doing what he aspires to once the season opens: swing the ball to Stefon Diggs and watch the elusive receiver make defenders miss.

Johns Hopkins was two minutes away from a win yesterday over Franklin and Marshall and a probable Centennial Conference title.Then, Franklin and Marshall -- tied for first in the conference with Hopkins and Dickinson entering the day -- shocked the Homewood Field crowd of 2,411. Down by two points, Diplomats quarterback Beau Eckert completed six straight passes, driving his team to the Hopkins 1-yard line. Fullback Matt Eisenberg completed the 76-yard drive by slamming in with the winning touchdown with 17 seconds left.

Maybe Tony Sacca was right after all. Maybe Penn State coach Joe Paterno needed to give his senior quarterback a little freedom, a chance to throw the ball more than once a millennium.Consider what happened in last night's 34-22 victory over eighth-ranked Georgia Tech in the Kickoff Classic at Giants Stadium. Considering what Sacca and the No. 7 Nittany Lions did, maybe Penn State's offense finally has come into the '90s.Sacca, who never had thrown more than three touchdown passes in a college game, threw five against the defenseless Yellow Jackets.

The Annapolis High football team has made a habit of losing its season opener, only to come back strong in its second game.This year proved to be no different, as the Panthers rolled to a 34-6 victory at Westminster last night after losing their sixth straight opener last week."

John Pagliaro returned an interception 19 yards for a touchdown, and rushed for 124 yards with a 71-yard touchdown as fourth-ranked Gilman won its third straight game and its 12th consecutive game against Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference competition by beating winless and host Calvert Hall, 26-7, yesterday. Ben Eaton Jr. scored on a 21-yard run, and Makura Compton returned an interception 100 yards for another touchdown against the Cardinals (0-5, 0-3) as Gilman (3-2, 3-0)

FORT WASHINGTON -- History repeated itself last night as Broadneck saw nothing but red during its second straight postseason trip to this Prince George's County community on the Potomac River.The fourth-ranked Bruins (11-1), the 11th Anne Arundel County team to go undefeated in regular season, were crushed by Friendly, 49-13, in a Class 3A semifinal.Senior quarterback Keith Ferguson threw five touchdown passes and ran for another for the Patriots, who from helmet to shoes were dressed in red. As a defensive back, Ferguson also had an interception.

Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison tied Steve Young and Jerry Rice for the NFL record of most touchdown passes between a quarterback and a receiver with their 85th connection yesterday. The only question left for the Indianapolis duo is what the final records will be when they quit playing. "It kind of hits me knowing the fact it's still early in both our careers," Harrison said after the Colts beat Tennessee, 31-10. "You just never know when it's going to end or what it's going to be when it's done.

The question wasn't even fully out of the reporter's mouth when Ravens safety Ed Reed pounced on it like it was an errant throw. If it's a close game, you guys will win because …? "Joe Flacco," Reed said sharply at Tuesday's media day. "Joe Flacco is on our team. That is the huge difference. " A little more than a year ago, it was Reed who publicly criticized the performance of his quarterback following the Ravens' playoff victory over the Houston Texans. Few are questioning Flacco these days.

SANTA CLARA -- So which Vernon Davis will we see in Super Bowl XLVII? Will it be the man who made just six catches for 61 yards over the final six regular-season games? Or the guy who in two postseason games has caught six balls for 150 yards and a touchdown while being targeted 11 times? It's probably a better question for the Baltimore Ravens and how they choose to defend the 49ers' dangerous tight end, but to date, they haven't been forthcoming with answers. In NFC Championship game, though, the Atlanta Falcons clearly didn't make Davis a major focal point of their pass defense and paid dearly as a result.

Anquan Boldin calmly told reporters Wednesday that this season's AFC championship rematch with the New England Patriots would be different from last season's heartbreaking 23-20 loss. Elaborating, Boldin said: "Because we'll make it different. We're going to win. " On Sunday night, the Ravens -- and Boldin -- delivered on that promise, with a cathartic 28-13 win over the Patriots, to the dismay of the sellout crowd of 68,756 at Gillette Stadium. Boldin played his part, catching five passes for 60 yards and two touchdowns.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco quickly came to a realization Sunday night while trailing the New England Patriots at halftime of the AFC championship game. It was a realization shared by coach John Harbaugh . Flacco was adamant in his belief that the AFC North champions needed to become much more aggressive in the passing game. During the second half of a 28-13 victory that propelled them to the Super Bowl, the Ravens attacked the Patriots' secondary as Flacco delivered three second-half touchdown passes.

The New England Patriots' pass defense has been improving lately, and one of the reasons can be traced to the presence of cornerback Aqib Talib, who was acquired in a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 1. Talib's personal numbers aren't eye-opening (just one interception and two pass breakups in the team's last eight contests), but the defense's statistics have been much better. After surrendering an average of 285.3 yards, a 66.1 completion percentage and 19 touchdowns in the first nine games, the Patriots have trimmed those numbers to a 253.4 average, a 57.3 percentage and 10 scores.

How the Ravens plan to attack Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is the dominant storyline surrounding Saturday's AFC Divisional playoff contest. But another concern revolves around Knowshon Moreno. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back gashed the defense for 118 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries in the Ravens' 34-17 loss to Denver on Dec. 16. Moreno became the fourth opponent to rush for more than 100 yards against the defense in the regular season, and several members of the run unit said they are looking forward to getting another crack at him. “It hurt,” outside linebacker Albert McClellan said.

The Ravens have their first quarterback controversy. It's Eric Zeier against Vinny Testaverde. Or is that Vinny Testaverde against Eric Zeier?A decision on the quarterback of the future, or at least of next week, will be made in the next 72 hours, but for at least one night Zeier and return specialist Jermaine Lewis will celebrate the significant roles they played in the Ravens' 31-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks before 54,395 at Memorial Stadium yesterday.Lewis,...

Long Reach is noted mainly for its defense. Entering last night's game against three-time defending Howard County champ Glenelg, the Lightning had seven shutouts and allowed 26 points in their past 10 games. So when Glenelg jumped out to a 20-0 lead, with 10:25 left in the second quarter, things looked bleak for Long Reach in a battle of unbeaten teams in Columbia. But the Lightning offense suddenly came to life against the No. 12-ranked Gladiators, and Long Reach ended the evening with a 42-33 victory.

With zero touchdown passes, one interception and three sacks, quarterback Andrew Luck finished with a 59.8 passer rating in the Indianapolis Colts' 24-9 loss to the Ravens in Sunday's AFC Wildcard playoff game. But the top overall pick in the NFL draft in April impressed the Ravens defensive players with his ability to scramble, which he used three times to gain first downs. “He's amazing. He was keeping plays alive,” cornerback Corey Graham said. “He looked like Big Ben [Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers]

Before Sunday's 24-9 win over the Indianapolis Colts, wide receiver Anquan Boldin, not a man of many words, approached quarterback Joe Flacco and told him he that had 200 receiving yards in him. "I don't know if he thought I was joking," Boldin said. "But he gave me a shot in the second half. " After being held without a catch for most of the first half, Boldin was involved early and often in the second half, catching all five passes Flacco threw his way while establishing a new franchise single-game playoff record with 145 receiving yards.
