High Schools

This past Saturday evening, I received an unexpected Christmas gift. We had just been hit by a record breaking snowstorm, I had cleaned the house, I had done the laundry, I had shoveled twice and it was still snowing, roads not cleared. I’m snowbound. My body and back is sore, I feel old, I need my couch [...]

Nestor brought up a really good point early this afternoon on his show Limited Access sponsored by Royal Farms. I had been wondering about this all day, and hadn’t had the chance to blog about it until now – Ray Lewis is not garnering the attention he thought he would from potential suitors in the [...]

As expected, the Loyola Dons won their sixteenth consecutive MIAA swimming title this past weekend, led by several All-American performances from breaststroke specialist Sean Roddy and freestyle phenom Hugh Davison. And as their coach, I’m also very proud to say that the Calvert Hall Junior Varsity squad captured the MIAA JV championship. The JV aquacards [...]

Under Loyola Blakefield Aquatics Director Keith Schertle, the Loyola Dons captured their second consecutive National Catholic Swimming title this past weekend at Villanova, blowing most of the competition out of the water. Here are the final top 10 team results. Local teams have been posted in bold: TEAM SCORES 1 LOYOLA BLAKEFIELD 432 2 GONZAGA [...]

I completely agree with many of the listeners and most of the bloggers here at WNST.net. Michael Phelps is 23 years old and he smokes weed. That does not make him a bad person. His main sponsors, Speedo and Omega, don’t seem to care. Why? Because his target demographic (i.e. people my age), don’t care [...]

The National Catholic High School Swimming Championships will take place at Villanova University this weekend, and several local teams have been invited to compete. Calvert Hall, Loyola, Mt. St. Joe, Spalding, and Sts. Peter and Paul will be traveling up to Philadelphia this weekend to compete against some of the Mid-Atlantic’s best high school swimming [...]

Welcome back to the Wednesday Wheelhouse, where we discuss anything and everything that’s on your mind. It’s been a few weeks since the last edition, so let’s jump right into it. -Yesterday morning, Nestor, Brad, and I were playing with the new commercial software on the Apple Mini, and I overheard Drew and Glenn discussing [...]

Welcome to the Wednesday Wheelhouse. Feel free to discuss anything and everything that’s on your mind, sports or otherwise. Here’s what I’m thinking about on this sunny Wednesday in Baltimore: -If I were John Harbaugh, I’d give my game ball to Mark Clayton, no questions asked. I’ll admit that I was one of the talking [...]

Congratulations to the Calvert Hall Cardinals, who wrapped up their 8th consecutive M.I.A.A. water polo championship today, beating Loyola 8-7 in a nail-biter. The Dons, who probably touted the most talented team in their program’s history, look to get another shot at the Cardinals next weekend, as both are favored to meet up in the [...]

Phew…between the M.I.A.A. water polo championships and a few Ravens functions, it’s gonna be a hectic weekend. It all begins on Saturday with the M.I.A.A. water polo championships, which will be held at the US Naval Academy this year. FINALLY we get to play in an all-deep pool (I’m sure the 3 or 4 of [...]
