JOPPA — The first play of the fourth quarter was unlike any other so far this season for the Elkton football team.

ELKTON — The score of Thursday afternoon’s boys’ soccer game could’ve been much more to Elkton’s liking.

PYLESVILLE — Senior quarterback Aydon Brown isn’t asked to throw the ball very often as a member of Rising Sun’s ground-and-pound Wing-T offense.

CHESAPEAKE CITY — The sudden downpour and ensuing thunderstorm that halted Bohemia Manor’s battle with Edgewood two and a half minutes before the game’s scheduled conclusion were nearly as sudden as the Eagles’ offensive explosion to start the game.

No. 1 Elkton at No. 4 Edgewood

PYLESVILLE — For a second straight week the Rising Sun football team endured the challenge of preparing for a less-than-familiar opponent despite little meaningful game tape.

ABERDEEN — The Rising Sun boys’ soccer team lost to host Aberdeen, 6-2, in non-divisional action Tuesday.

NORTH EAST — A year ago, the Rising Sun and Elkton girls’ soccer teams battled to a 0-0 tie in double overtime during an early-October showdown.

Perryville enters the Top 5 party with a season-opening win over four-time reigning region champion Havre de Grace in this week’s edition of the UCBAC Football Power Poll. Rising Sun, Harford Tech and Edgewood move up while the Warriors drop out (record and last week’s ranking in parentheses).

PERRYVILLE — Some games mean more than others.

PERRYVILLE — As Jordan Carr and Gracey Stevens go, so goes the Perryville volleyball team.
