October 25, 2011: Cricket making its way to Carroll County

Cricket making its way to Carroll County

October 25, 2011|By Chris Eckard, The Baltimore Sun


When Debbie Buenger, a former elementary school physical education teacher now at East Middle School in Westminster, introduced the game of cricket to her class one rainy afternoon last year, the excitement blew her away.

"The kids absolutely loved it," Buenger said.

Within the first hour, the class started to grasp the basics and was off playing its first competitive game. There were a few hitches, like remembering to hold onto the bat, but overall Buenger couldn't have been more surprised.

Last year, the United States Youth Cricket Association donated plastic cricket sets to each of the public elementary schools in Carroll County, including Eldersburg, where Buenger had taught.

The final year of high school provides an opportunity for seniors to enjoy a last go-round of good times with friends and a chance to reflect on accomplishments.


For Meghan Macera, reflection will have to wait. She's too busy right now.


But when she does take time to look back at her four years at Westminster High, Macera will have plenty of highlights to remember.


If she wasn't busy designing the cover of the school's yearbook or performing myriad community service activities, the Westminster senior was scoring overtime goals to win consecutive state championships for the Owls' field hockey team.

Game of the Week

South Carroll at North Carroll

(Friday; 5 p.m.)

The undefeated Panthers will try to go to 3-0 against the Cavaliers, who need a win to stay in the hunt for the county title.

North Carroll owns victories over Joppatowne and Francis Scott Key, while South Carroll lost a 13-12 heartbreaker to Westminster after rolling over Williamsport in its opener.

The Panthers won last year's matchup by a 27-7 score in Winfield, and the current North Carroll team is better than the 2006 edition.

The Cavaliers have also improved, and are expected to compete for a Class 1A playoff berth after going 3-7 last fall.


Balanced offense leads North Carroll over FSK

Three touchdowns come in frantic 27 seconds

When North Carroll's senior running back Jeremy E. Ritz went down with a broken shinbone in the Panthers' season-opening victory against Joppatowne, head coach Jeff Oeming and his staff turned to two new faces to keep the ground game going.
