The Bobcats advance to the regional finals.
Bel Air High School boys lacrosse has earned a place in the regional finals following a 12-10, hard fought victory at Dulaney High School Monday night. The Bobcats will go on to face Howard High School on Wednesday in Howard County. “I knew coming in it would be a battle,” said Bel Air head coach Scoop Kelly. Bel Air lost to Dulaney earlier in the season by a slim 6-5 margin. “I guess it’s sort of ironic that we finished today 12-10 ... and luckily this time we move ahead in the playoffs,” Kelly said. “We caught the ball a little better. We finished [well].

The former DC United forward and MLS all-star spoke to hundreds of student-athletes at the sixth annual Powered By Me! conference in Timonium.
Soccer star Santino Quaranta's life story is a cautionary tale—one that he hopes will encourage young athletes to make the right decisions about their futures.
