As the goalie on the lacrosse team and a top defender in soccer, Mount Hebron senior Billy McNamara has enjoyed an incredible ride in the past year. It started last spring in the lacrosse playoffs when the Vikings avenged losses to county rivals Glenelg and River Hill before defeating Urbana to win the program's fourth state championship. In the fall, McNamara was the defensive anchor on the Vikings' unbeaten state championship soccer team. A two-year starter on both teams, McNamara is hoping to close out his high school career with another title as the Vikings (9-5)

The Wilde Lake girls soccer team could not have given Dave Procida any more effort in his final game as its coach. The No. 5 Wildecats came back and came back until they could come back no more in last night's state Class 3A championship. After battling Urbana to a 2-2 tie through two overtimes, the Wildecats finally fell, 4-2, in a penalty-kick shootout at Broadneck. In regulation, the Wildecats (15-4) rallied from 1-0 down to take a 2-1 lead in the 77th minute. In the shootout, they came from 3-0 down to pull within 3-2 before Urbana's fifth shooter, Kelly Mohns, scored the game-winner.

Before last night's match with visiting Urbana, Liberty coach Mike Flemming challenged his team to win five of the 10 pairings.The Lions went him one better, winning six. Still, that effort was not enough to hold off the Hawks (7-3), who rode two pins and three forfeits to a 38-28 Central Maryland Conference victory. The result marked the fifth straight loss for Liberty (3-9), although Flemming and his wrestlers had to be encouraged by the team effort.It certainly was a dramatic improvement from an early December meeting at the Catoctin Duals, where Urbana won all but three bouts in a 46-15 triumph.

Although Liberty has made dramatic strides with its girls basketball program over the last year and a half, last night it found out what the next level looks like.Urbana (7-1), No. 17 in the state and the top-ranked Class 2A team, was in control for more than 20 minutes, and then on the verge of blowing an 11-point second-half lead. It regrouped and capitalized on a series of Liberty turnovers and missed shots to earn a 53-44 Central Maryland Conference victory.Later, second-year Liberty coach Dave Trumbo challenged his players when he said, holding his thumb and forefinger about an inch apart, "We are this close to being an excellent team."
