Cumberland Valley stuffs Waynesboro By DAN SPEARS / Staff Writer WAYNESBORO, Pa. - Fourth-and-8 on the Cumberland Valley 27, and Waynesboro quarterback Ben Leonard dropped back.

Playing in front of an audience wasn't a bit nerve-wracking for Madison. “I wasn't scared at all. I'm happy,” Madison said after her performance.

It's nighttime on the fabled Outer Banks of North Carolina and a stretch of road from Frisco to Hatteras is swathed in darkness. A few yards from the asphalt are sea oats, sand dunes and half-buried wood-and-wire fences. But in these late hours, nothing is visible. During the day, soft clouds burn pink above the water and, in certain spots, wild mustangs graze on sea grass. This narrow band of sand known as the Outer Banks is a place of serenity and natural beauty - the kind of setting that beckons artists and photographers.

Enthusiasm and pink were big players Saturday on the campus of Hagerstown Community College. Outside, people strode with spirit and purpose as triumphant music blared across the grounds. Inside, others shimmied and thrust to saucy Latin tunes.                                      The signature pink of breast cancer awareness showed up high in the air on balloons. It waved on tribute flags and decorated the shirts of hundreds. It was the color of a Gumby-like ribbon costume that wrapped around the neck of a woman and extended the length of her body, and it dyed the hair of humans and the fur of dogs.
