Down to last draw control, Urbana girls stave off rival Linganore

1 week ago | fredericknewspost.com | John Cannon

URBANA — Urbana sophomore Gabriella Savoy doesn’t score a lot, so she was excited to contribute a much-needed goal off a Colby Johnson assist in Tuesday’s tight game against rival Linganore. But that was far from the most important play Savoy and Johnson joined forces on. That honor went to the final draw of the night, and it came right after Lancers sophomore Sedona Brown scored to narrow Urbana’s lead to one with 55.1 seconds left. kAm%96@C6E:42==J[ 2== E96 w2H<D ?66565 E@ D64FC6 E96 H:?
Walkersville softball's bats awaken to beat rival Middletown

MIDDLETOWN — Like pretty much every other softball player, Walkersville’s Caitlin Hinkelman will likely fail more than succeed as a hitter. Nonetheless, she still strives to be confident at the plate. Working countless hours in the batting cage with her father, Lions coach Randy Hinkelman, helps. kAm“%92E’D C62==J H92E 8:G6D >6 E96 4@?7:56?46 :?

Alt lifts Oakdale girls lacrosse to double-overtime win over Linganore

Senior Anna Alt thought her Oakdale girls lacrosse teammate, freshman Ellie Kuhn, had just scored the game-winning goal in double overtime against Linganore. After going six years without beating the Lancers, a stretch that included a pair of down-to-the-wire losses last season, and seeing Linganore erase a six-goal deficit in the second half Friday, it looked like Oakdale's long wait for another win against its rival was finally over.
Never satisfied, powerful Urbana girls pummel Titans in latest win

URBANA - Coach Joe Amick's Tuscarora's girls lacrosse team had just lost 14-6 to an opponent that he called a "powerhouse." Urbana seems deserving of a such a description. The Hawks (6-2) have key returnees from last year's state finalist, which came closer than any other Frederick County girls lacrosse team to winning a state crown, and their only losses since then were close ones to Liberty and Century, traditional powers from lacrosse-rich Carroll County.

Middletown softball off to solid start by topping Tuscarora

1 month ago | fredericknewspost.com | John Cannon

With the game tied at 1 and no outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Middletown pitcher Adria Janse Van Rensburg induced a soft liner that began to sink as it neared first baseman Hayden Moxley. After some brief, internal debate, Moxley decided she’d try to catch the ball in the air. Not only did she succeed, but the right-handed fielder alertly fired a throw to double off the runner at second base to all but end Tuscarora’s threat. kAm}@E9:?8 =:<6 4=FE49 5676?D6] p?5 :?

On the first possession of the second quarter, Oakdale’s Kenzie Walker stole the inbounds pass and promptly hit a fast-break layup. Less than a minute later, she drove right-to-left on the baseline and hit a reverse layup. kAm“x’> CF??:?8 @FE @7 25;64E:G6D E@ 56D4C:36 z6?K:6[” q62CD 4@249 #@3 w62=J D2:5]k^AmkAmu2:C 6?@F89] qFE E96C6 H2D 2 ?6H 25;64E:G6[ 2E =62DE @?6 E92E 925?’E 2AA=:65 E@ E96 q62CD :?

Not enough stops as Linganore boys fall to North Hagerstown

1 month ago | fredericknewspost.com | John Cannon

HAGERSTOWN — With his team clinging to an eight-point lead against comeback-minded Linganore, North Hagerstown’s Landon Somerville launched a fadeaway jumper from the left side. Rather than have the Hubs get to the rim, be it on fast breaks or drives, the Lancers were hoping to limit North Hagerstown to long-range shots, and the greater the degree of difficulty, the better.
