"This is the best team I've had in the nine years as a coach at Flint Hill," Brown said. "I feel confident saying that I think this year we would be able to hold our own against the top [Washington Catholic Athletic Conference] teams."
Soccer Stalemate
The top two teams in The Post's boys' soccer rankings, DeMatha and Gonzaga, played to a 2-2 tie on Sunday in their first meeting of the season. Gonzaga (4-1-1, 4-0-1 WCAC) had the lead twice during the game and surrendered a goal on a penalty kick.
The Stags (4-0-1, 4-0-1) are ranked second in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll. Gonzaga Coach Scott Waller said he was not surprised with the result because of how close the games have been between the two rivals during the past three years.
Injury Carousel at Severna Park
Top-ranked Severna Park had one key field hockey player return from injury, but lost another before its 10-0 season-opening win Tuesday against North County.
Senior Julie Gardner, who had stress fractures in her foot diagnosed after leading the Falcons to a state lacrosse championship in the spring, started athletic activities last week and felt well enough to play this week. Falcons Coach Lil Shelton said the honorable mention All-Met has been moved from midfield, where she excelled last year, to defense.
"We don't want to send her on long runs yet, that's why she's on defense," Shelton said. "She can bring the ball up and get rid of it. She has a great stick and a great sense of the field."
Another defender, junior Megan Lusby, had her kneecap fractured by an opponent's stick in a scrimmage last week. Karen Lusby, Megan's mother, said her daughter will wear a knee immobilizer for six weeks and the doctor estimated the time of recovery at three months, meaning she will likely be out for the entire season.
