Although many are familiar with the Cedar Lane Regional Park in Bel Air, most know it as the home of soccer and lacrosse tournaments. That perception will be changed on Saturday, November 21st when hundreds of football enthusiasts gather at the facility to showcase their gridiron skills.
Between 3 and 6 p.m., youth in grades 1 -12 will demonstrate their abilities in passing, punting and kicking vying for the chance to win one of the top 3 positions and be recognized as one of Harford County’s best during a special effects show provided by “Image Engineering” the group who makes every Baltimore Raven’s pre-game entrance memorable.

Johnny Unitas would be proud…as would Raymond Berry, Jerry Hill, Don Shinnick, Bill Pellington, Andy Nelson…all of the Baltimore Colts of the Gilded Age in the town they loved to play for, and the state that loved them and never quite got over the ‘kidnapping in the snow storm’ many years ago.
Working for the Colts, and Ernie Acorsi and “Dixie” Walker, I was afforded the chance to be ever so close to the team of greats as they played home games inside the world’s ‘largest insane asylum’….
From 1966 through 1974…..my photographic skills were highly regarded by the Colts organization…then based in Hunt Valley.
Working on the sidelines, many times during the game, as close as the person sitting next to you in your car…I did my job, respected my subjects and came away with an intimate understanding of the word ‘teamwork’ those men so proudly displayed on the field and off…in ...Continue Reading

COUNTY EXECUTIVE URGES COUNTY EMPLOYEES TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE RAVENS
(Bel Air, MD – January 8, 2009) – - County Executive David R. Craig is urging county employees to show their pride and support of the Baltimore Ravens by proudly wearing Ravens apparel or colors to work tomorrow.
“The Baltimore Ravens have had a remarkable year and everyone should be proud of their accomplishments and the hope for another Super Bowl this year,” remarked County Executive Craig. “Purple Passion Friday is one way Harford County employees can let everyone know we support our Ravens,” Craig stated.
The county executive plans to continue the practice of “Purple Passion Friday” throughout the playoffs as the Baltimore Ravens march toward a second Super Bowl in the team’s brief history.
I have a lot to cover since I have taken the last couple weeks off. First the Terps have been able to secure two very big wins coming off an embarrassing loss to UVA. The win two weeks ago over Wake Forest was impressive because the Terps played a complete game.
Their Offense was able to put points on the board and their Defense managed to shut out Wake Forest, who has given them a lot of problems in recent years. To be fair to Wake Forest, their Offense did put them in position to score a couple of times; but with their All-American kicker Sam Swank out of the game they had trouble cashing in on field goal attempts. This win allowed the Terps to stay in control of their own destiny.
The win over N.C. State was impressive because it proved the Terps could ...Continue Reading
I still don’t think I am ready to talk about the Terp’s game last Saturday, but I will give it a shot. The Terps did exactly what I thought they were past. They came out against an inferior opponent and managed to play worse. There is no excuse for losing to Virginia. Not only did they manage to lose, but they were embarrassed. As far as I am concerned an offense that contains playmakers such as DaRel Scott and Darius Heyward-Bey should never be shutout.
Armchair coach is going to be a little bit different from now on. I will still talk a little bit about the NFL but I have been asked to switch gears a little and cover NCAA football.
My article for week three of the NFL got a little lost in cyberspace, so I apologize to anyone who missed it. Week four continued what has been a crazy season in the NFL. Parity is back. For proof of this you need to look no further then the division leaders after the first quarter of the season. Nobody could have predicted that the Bills, Titans and Broncos would lead their divisions. If the Ravens had been able to pull out the OT victory in Pittsburgh the AFC would be a perfect four for four in surprise division leaders.
