    MIKE BURKE Allegany Communications Sports   From 1969 to 1973, the Baltimore Orioles won the first 10 American League playoffs games they ever played.

  • Terps saw what they somehow must be October 1, 2024
    MIKE BURKE Allegany Communications Sports   Head coach Mike Locksley admitted that Maryland’s 42-28 loss at Indiana on Saturday was “a frustrating game,” and then said something he’s been heard to say quite a bit over the last three seasons – “It’s just one game.” Actually, it’s just two games now, as the home loss…

  • Ravens have too many challenges September 18, 2024
    MIKE BURKE Allegany Communications Sports It was as poor of a regular-season loss as we’ve seen in the John Harbaugh era, the Baltimore Ravens’ 26-23 loss to the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, beginning with the poor play of the offensive line, the defense’s inability to prevent wide receiver Davante Adams from single-handedly beating them (the…

    MIKE BURKE Allegany Communications Sports These are cranky days in Baltimore. The Ravens are 0-2 (more on them later in the week) and the Orioles have stopped hitting and, in turn, they have stopped winning. With just 12 games to play, the Orioles’ offense continues to be lost in the abyss, as Adley Rutschman’s eighth-inning,…

  • Fort Hill-Dunbar still a thing September 11, 2024
    MIKE BURKE Allegany Communications Sports It doesn’t seem possible that it’s been seven years since Dunbar and Fort Hill have played each other in football. That’s a seven-year itch, though, that will be scratched on Friday, 5 p.m., when the two meet at Morgan State University. It will be the first of two meetings in…
