Different Hair And Waist Lines, But Still Smiling 20 Years After High School Graduation

The Dagger | Harford County News With an Edge: Latest post

By Dell

I find myself on the eve of my 20 year high school reunion, staring at a beautifully composed and formatted invitation and memory book questionnaire, looking back and wondering, “Where did the time go?”

More importantly, I guess, where did that 18-year-old kid in all these pictures run off to? The kid with all the hair (many follicular scholars have opined that I was sporting a mullet in 1988. While I admit that I had some locally based commerce occurring in the front, and an informal gathering of acquaintances in the back, it was by no stretch of the imagination a mullet as defined, but I digress), the “devil may care” attitude, and the 32 inch waist. Where’d he go?

Filed as Balls with no comments

From Harford Community College Sports Information

BEL AIR, Md.—The Harford men’s soccer team fired 10 shots on goal, but couldn’t sneak one past the keeper as it fell, 2-0, to CCBC-Catonsville on a wet and windy Friday night at Harford Stadium.

The game was a tale of two halves as the Owls dominated play in the first half, firing a total of 12 shots to Catonsville’s four, but the Cardinals scored twice in the second half and held an 8-5 advantage on shots.

The first, and eventual game-wining, goal came just 42 seconds into the second half as David Grimes gathered a ball from Nick Finnegan during a scramble in the box and snuck it past freshman goalie Ta ylor Dize (Bel ...Continue Reading

Filed as Balls with no comments

From Harford Community College Sports Information

BEL AIR, Md.—Freshman forward Tiffany Runk (Abingdon, Md./Kenwood) scored her sixth goal of the season as the Harford women’s soccer team notched a 1-0 win over Howard on a wet and windy Friday evening at Harford Stadium.

The Fighting Owls (4-3-0, 3-1-0 MDJUCO) outshot the Dragons (3-8-0, 2-3-0 MDJUCO), 12-9, but only four of those shots were on target, including Runk’s score late in the first half. Runk maneuvered around a Howard defender in the box and fired from 10 yards out into the upper left to give the Owls the 1-0 advantage at the 42:59 mark.

The goal would be the only one of the game as sophomore goalie Jessica Stumpf (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) made five saves in the 90:00 and her counterpart, Jess Fainberg totaled three saves.

Harford picked up the only cautions of the game as sophomore forward Terry Buontempo (Nottingham, Md./Perry Hall) received a yellow ...Continue Reading

Patterson Mill Middle High School parents concerned about effects of CSSRP, rising enrollment

The Dagger | Harford County News With an Edge: Latest post

Sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover, or at least a building. Parents at the new Patterson Mill Middle High School in Bel Air have plenty of concerns about the walkways, fields and facilities on school grounds. Meetings with school officials are ongoing. But now that the building has been open for a year, it turns out there are problems on the inside too.

The school might have some of the latest technology, but something as simple as lockers are scarce. Patterson Mill was planned to handle 1,600 students and 1,672 lockers were installed.
