SALISBURY, Md. - It comes down to this for Funkstown Post 211: Sweep Chaney Enterprises in a doubleheader today, and it wins the Maryland American Legion state title. After three games in a 36-hour period - and an early-morning wake-up call for today's 8 a.m. start - accomplishing a sweep will be difficult, indeed. Funkstown advanced to the best-of-3 championship series with a 7-2 victory over Salisbury on Monday afternoon. But Post 211 suffered a heartbreaking 6-5 loss in 10 innings in Game 1 of the series Monday evening, and now must win Games 2 and 3 today.

keller@herald-mail.com "Honey, that vacation will have to wait. " That might have been what coach Darryl Powell said to his wife Sunday after Funkstown Post 211 beat Frederick for the Western Maryland District American Legion baseball title and a berth in the state tournament, which begins today at Frank Perdue Stadium in Salisbury. A state title would make Powell's trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C., well worth the wait. "We're supposed to leave (Salisbury) and go right down from there," Powell said.

One way football coaches categorize football players - according to Boonsboro's Clayton Anders - is whether they have a motor. Count Warriors defensive end J.R. Lowery in that group. “He definitely has that,” Anders said of Lowery. “He's relentless. He just has the relentless spirit within him that he's going to wear people out.” Lowery wore out opposing offenses in 2011, leading Washington County in tackles and tackles for losses and helping elevate Boonsboro from also-rans a year ago back into the playoffs.

MAUGANSVILLE -- At least Hancock had the good feeling of qualifying for the Maryland State Junior League Tournament. Hancock's quick turnaround into the losers' bracket didn't come out any better on Monday after its opening 10-0 loss to Thurmont a day earlier. It didn't take long to realize the end was near. West Salisbury pummeled Hancock for nine runs in the first inning and went on to a 17-1 victory in 4 1/2 innings at Maugansville. That eliminated Hancock and moved West Salisbury into a key matchup against Elkton, an easy winner over South Baltimore, tonight at 5:30.
