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.
