13 9 TV Fallston native Elizabeth Hillman and Ally Murphy have been named as the captains for the 2019U.S.women’sU19 lacrosse team. Hillman, who starred at Bel Air, recently completed her freshman season at North Carolina. She was the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2018, according to Inside Lacrosse, and helped the Tar Heels reach the NCAA semifinals this past spring. A two-way midfielder, Hillman played in 20 games for North Carolina and had 12 points, 11 ground- balls, 11 draw controls and seven cauSed turnovers in her rookie campaign.

Despite starting all 16 games and playing nearly half of the defensive snaps, Williams finished with one sack (his only quarter- back hit) and two (a tackle for negative yardage on a running play), his fewest since his rookie season. Over the past three seasons, Williams has just two sacks. He remains durable and and a strong, space-clogging run defender, but the $14million-plus owed each of the next three seasons is a salary typically reservedfordisruptivepassrushers.Most of peers in that upper crust have finished recent seasons with at least as many sacks as he has in his six-year career Chris the departure of Brent Urban, the 2017 third-round pick is theprohibitive favorite towin thestarting job at defensive end.

Not much about his responsibilities may change. Defensive coordinator Don will likely continue to play Wormley as a three-technique lineman, aligned on the outside shoulder of the opposing guard, and keep his snap count manageable. Wormley played between 20 and 40 defensive snaps in 12 games last season; Urban did so in 14, with his other two games above the threshold. At Michigan, where he played a similar role along the twice finishedwith at least six sacks, but shown only flashes of his pass-rush potential in two NFL seasons. Backups Willie an interior pass rusher, the 2016 fourth-round pick is the closest thing theRavenshave to free-agent target Gerald McCoy, who visited Baltimore before signingwith theCarolinaPanthers in June.

After a lost rookie season, Henry had sacks in 597 defensive snaps in 2017 a far cry from elite rate with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but promising nonetheless. Last year, with Henry sidelinedmost of the season by an umbilical hernia and then a herniated fellowRavens linemencombined for just sacks. The defense needs Henry healthy andhunting again. Daylon a senior at the defensive tackle finally started to play like the blue-chip prospect once been billed as, starting 13 games and finishing with 10 tackles for loss and sacks. The Ravens took the 6-foot-1, 340-pound Mack in the fifth round and hope he can hold his own inside as a quality crew of veterans shows him the ropes.

Zach final pick ofOzzie tenure as Ravens general manager appeared in just two games last season, neither of which came after the Week 10 bye. But the 6-foot-6, 290-pound Sieler has shown impressive strength in offseason workouts and should continue to improve as he learns how to leveragehis great size at defensive end. On the bubble Gerald expected to be drafted after an All-America season at Miami, the defensive tackle will instead enter his first NFL training camp as the most high-profile undrafted free agent in some time. A leg injury sidelined Willis for parts of the offseason workouts, but he returned to participate inminicamp. Despite hiswinding path to the pros Willis was dismissed from Florida early in his college career and took a leave of absence from the Hurri- program in 2017 as he worked out personal for Willis, who had 18 tackles for loss last season.

Ravens tackle Michael Pierce faces a big season in the final year of his rookie contract. KARL MERTON SUN Pivotal year ahead for young tackles LINE, From page 1 Defensive end Brandon Williams is a central figure on a deep defensive line.

Rechichar, primarily a defensive back, was with the Colts in 1953 when he was summoned to kick the first field goal of his career. It was successful from 56-yards away and erased a record set 19 years before by Glenn Presnell of the Detroit Lions.

When fans slammed crew chief Matt McCall for costing Kurt Busch a win at Daytona, he was a good sport and made a video for socialmediaofhimreading the criticism even a critical tweet that came from hiswife. The feedback has been quite different thisweek.

Busch raced to his first victory with Chip Ganassi Racing last weekend at Kentucky in part because of a call McCall made before overtime and McCall has been able to focus on ahead rather than answering for any mistakes. feels great, but terrible about celebrating. Literally, when I get home, already thinking about the next McCall said Friday. the way always been and always raced. I think in a sport like this, expected That happened until last Sat- urday, when Busch edged brother Kyle in a two-lap overtime shootout at KentuckySpeedway.

Itwas the first time Kurt beat his little brother in a head-to- head NASCAR finish, but more impor- tantly, it was a victory for the elder Busch, McCall and Ganassi, who had been in position to win the week before at Daytona before lightning struck literally. The result lifted the Ganassi and Team Chevy spirits this week as the circuit headed north for Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where Busch swept both races in 2004 and alsowon in 2008. Now 40, Busch is on a one-year contract and trying to enjoy each stop. He will start third Sunday, behind pole winnerBradKeselowski andKyle. week is fun because speed to be Busch said.
