Sports comment:
County athletes toying with wide array of versatility
By Joe Gross, senior staff
writer
Area residents or former
residents continue to make news or simply do noteworthy things to
make their marks in the sports world. Some of those things go
unnoticed though they should be known to their friends and
neighbors.
They are things done in all types
of sports by all types of people, which displays the diversity of
athletically oriented people in our communities. Today's list
includes accomplishments by people involved in football, motocross
and field hockey.
The events for which they are being noted are a game that will be
played, a performance caught by television cameras, honors
bestowed for leadership of a champion and the possibility of
something that will happen in the near future.
Joe Gross then went on to say...
Tina
DeLauter, a resident of Cape St. Claire, is the new owner of the
Anne Arundel Admirals Semi-Pro Football Team that plays in the new
East Coast Football Alliance spring league. DeLauter and Shawn
Perkins, who currently serves as the team's defensive coordinator,
took over the team following its 2006 season.
Although the Admirals' regular season doesn't begin until March
10, they will play this coming Saturday in a Toys for Tots game
against the MD Glory at Utz Field at Patterson Park in Baltimore.
The exhibition game, which gets under way at 1 p.m., will include
several members of the team that are products of Anne Arundel
County high schools.
"I'm so excited to be able to help our community in any way I
can. The Toys for Tots game is an example that makes all that goes
into putting the team and the game together worthwhile,"
DeLauter said of the game that will distribute the donated toys to
children in both Harford and Anne Arundel counties. "I feel
truly blessed to be able to give something back to my
community."
Some of the players on the team, led by former Meade High coach
Kenny Gray, include, Joe Mann, Tommy Brown, Brandon Johnson,
Forrest Kyle, Rob Adkins, Trey Evans and Mark Tyler of Broadneck;
Jeff Beard, Justin Tipton and Jeff Bayne of Arundel; Isaac Land,
Aaron Dixon-Proctor, Kelvin Collins, Adam Dayton and Darnell Dixon
of Old Mill and Antonio Evans of Annapolis.
