WINCHESTER -- Free throws grow in magnitude as a basketball game heads to its conclusion, and that was never truer than in Monday night's season opener for Shenandoah University against Frostburg State at Shingleton Gymnasium.
WINCHESTER -- It was an all too familiar situation for the Shenandoah Hornets. For the umpteenth time this season, Shenandoah was down by three points Saturday night with just under three minutes to play.
WINCHESTER -- Shenandoah basketball coach Robert Harris can't wait to unveil his team tonight, when the Hornets open their season at home against Frostburg State.
ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. -- North Carolina Wesleyan clinched at least a share of the USA South Conference title with a 38-28 win over Shenandoah University on Saturday.
WINCHESTER -- Maryland suburbia, in spots, is drenched in football tradition. There are those classic Washington Catholic Athletic Conference battles between Good Counsel and Dematha, which draw crowds by the thousands every year; there is the recent rise of the Montgomery County Class 4A Sherwood Warriors, who often rank among Maryland's top 10 programs.
The smile on my face may never fade away. On Wednesday night, my favorite team in the entire world -- the New York Yankees -- won their 27th championship.
WINCHESTER -- Shenandoah strong safety Larry Gibbs leads the USA South with six interceptions. Traveling to conference-leading N.C. Wesleyan on Saturday, Gibbs will have plenty of opportunities to add to his total.
