Baltimore football championship seasons have always started in Westminster … so should we be worried?

Baltimore football championship seasons have always started in Westminster ... so should we be worried?


Many Carroll County residents are getting a case of nostalgic Super Bowl fever as they look forward to Sunday's AFC championship contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots.

For more than 120 years — since football debuted at then-Western Maryland College on Oct. 31, 1891 — football has been a part of the history of Carroll County.

Not to be overlooked is the fact that since July 1949, Baltimore football teams have held summer practice in Westminster. Names like Raymond Berry, Jim Parker, Art Donovan, Gino Marchetti, Lenny Moore, Eugene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, Alan Ameche, and Wilbur (Weeb) Ewbank, just to mention a few, have become an important part of our Carroll County cultural history.

And yes, there is also that quarterback that was cut by the Pittsburg Steelers in 1956.

What was his name? Oh yeah, right. Johnny Unitas.

Unbelievable. According to an old history of the Baltimore Colts in my files, "Unitas was cut by… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0122-20120119,0,3298374.story

Offensive coordinator and quarterback must make right moves for Ravens to beat Patriots

January 16, 2012

It's fair to say that both Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron feel they have been under-appreciated in their four years in Baltimore, but they can change that if they devise a game plan to beat the New England Patriots Sunday.

It's an opportunity for Cameron to put to rest the ghosts of all those failed offenses here during the last decade and Flacco to become the most famous quarterback in town since Trent Dilfer… http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-preston-column-0117-20120116,0,6255755.column

Eagle Archive

By Kevin Dayhoff, December 7, 2011


Certainly many people were disappointed when the Baltimore Ravens announced Dec. 2 that the team will not be returning to its McDaniel College summer training camp.

In a Carroll Eagle article that day on ExploreCarroll.com, Westminster Mayor Utz spoke for many, "It's almost a 50-year tradition that's being broken… That's the sad part about it."

The tradition and history of Baltimore football and Westminster first began when the newspaper announced ran on Feb. 11, 1949, "College Campus To Be Used By Colts … Coach Isbell Expects to Bring 55 Players to Train, Starting in July … Baltimore's football Colts are going to train at Western Maryland College this year."

The article in the now defunct Democratic Advocate continued, "Dr. Lowell S. Ensor, president of the Methodist school, and Walter S. Driskill, Colts general manager, have signed a contract providing for the city's All-America Football Conference squad to use the Westminster College's campus as a pre-season base of operations, it was announced…"


The history of football in Baltimore — and Westminster — can trace one of its lineages to the All-America Football Conference in 1946 and another lineage to the NFL in 1944.

The first football team in Baltimore began on Dec. 28, 1946, when the bankrupt Miami Seahawks franchise, of the All-American Football Conference, was awarded to Baltimore.

Just over two-years later, according to the 1949 newspaper article, Coach Cecil Isbell said he expected to take a Colt squad to Westminster, "We plan to begin practice about five weeks before our opening contest..." Driskill said in the article… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1211-20111207,0,828252.story

Baltimore Ravens Given The "Heart Of Westminster"

"Poe", Official Baltimore Ravens Mascot: Dr. Henry B. Reiff, Dean of Graduate & Professional Studies, McDaniel College; Honorable Kevin Utz, Mayor of City of Westminster; Scott Albright, President of Ravens Roost #115. Submitted photo.


Tuesday, December 20, 20100, Westminster, MD – The City of Westminster, in collaboration with Ravens Roost #115, and McDaniel College, presented the Baltimore Ravens with the "Heart of Westminster " Award on Saturday, December 17, 2011. 

"Poe," Official Baltimore Ravens Mascot, accepted the Award on behalf of the Baltimore Ravens. Poe took Westminster's Heart back home to Ravens Headquarters in Owings Mills, where it shall be proudly displayed and serve as a constant reminder that our beloved Baltimore Ravens are always welcome because "home is where the heart is.”

The award ceremony commenced at the McDaniel College Arch and was immediately followed by an impromptu "Ravens Main Street America Parade" down Main Street in Westminster in community-wide support of the Baltimore Ravens and to celebrate the community's proud history with them. 

Parade disbanded at the City's Municipal Key Lot on Longwell, where the community united for warm reception, including live entertainment provided by Wylde Fire Band via C and J Stage Company, and autographs from former Ravens Joe Maese and Bennie Thompson. Grand Marshal of the Ravens Main Street America Parade was Dr. Henry B. Reiff, dean of Graduate and Professional Studies of McDaniel College. Master of Ceremonies was Kirk McEwen, 98 Rock & WBAL.

Parade Participants included enthusiastic Ravens Roosts from around the region, Mayor Kevin Utz, Santa and Mrs. Claus with Carroll County Farm Museum on Westminster Fire Department fire truck, Tevis Oil Tanker, Greg Hudnet's '52 Ravens-Themed Buick, Green Turtle, Carroll County Car Club, Baltimore Ravens Hooligans, and Old Westminster Reality. 

All event participants and guests were invited to grab a bite to eat and do some last minute holiday shopping on Main Street in Westminster. The celebration continued throughout the evening at Rafael's Restaurant, 32 W. Main Street, home of Ravens Roost 115.

The Ravens Roost #115 is a nonprofit organization situated in Westminster, Maryland dedicated to the promotion of professional football, raising funds for local charities, and to bringing the community together.

For information about how to become a member of Ravens Roost #115, please visit www.ravensroost115.com.

Ravens' move is blow to Westminster, but the right call for the team

Ravens' move is blow to Westminster, but the right call for the team


December 8, 2011


Sideline View By Steve Jones

The decision last week by the Baltimore Ravens to move their summer training camp from Westminster's McDaniel College to the team facility in Owings Mills came down to hearts and minds.

To thousands of football fans in the Baltimore area whose hearts belong to the football team, the Ravens were presented with an easy choice.

Since coming to Baltimore from Cleveland in 1996, the Ravens conducted training camp at McDaniel every summer until this past one, when the club remained at its Owings Mills base due to a late resolution to the lockout. It seemed logical that the Ravens would return in 2012, because you don't break with tradition.

But tradition isn't what it used to be, especially in sports, and the world is light-years removed from 1996.



The Ravens' brass used their heads when finalizing last week's decision to move training camp to their spacious and comfortable Owings Mills complex. Sad as it may be to Carroll and Westminster, the decision makes sense on many levels...
