Some squads, such as Atholton and Mt.

Hebron, feature devastating multi-pronged attacks, but have less proven defenses.Others, such as Centennial and Glenelg, have certified studs on defense, but have yet to establish a go-to scorer.

Centennial, which clearly lost the most talent to graduation, could be fingered as a team destined for a drop-off from last year's state championship run, but those in the know wouldn't be so hasty."They'll be very competitive," said Mt.

Hebron coach Tom Minard, whose Vikings have the somewhat unwanted moniker of preseason favorite.

"As the season progresses, (Centennial is) going to become very dangerous."Annual powerhouses Glenelg and River Hill should also battle it out with Centennial and Mt.

Hebron for the county title.

Atholton, Hammond and Howard lead the charge of up-and-comers taking potshots at the giants."It's going to be very competitive this year," Minard said.New coachJared Albert, a teacher at Bellow Springs Elementary, takes over at Atholton after serving as assistant last year.

Albert graduated from Atholton and knows plenty about playing winning lacrosse.

Coaches also used the training to mix up lineups and take video of their rowers, which was reviewed in between practices.

The week allowed first year rowers and varsity rowers to bond, and an afternoon in Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday, gave the team a chance to rest, as well as take in the culture of the historic city.

Though each team had its own individual routine, collective goals were met as the men and women scrimmaged against several other crews at the camp on Thursday and Friday.

Rowers faced off in both fours and eights, and though the results were mixed, the races yielded potential for growth and success in the upcoming season.

The varsity women were particularly successful, dominating their events.

The crews resumed normal practices this week in preparation for the Casperson Cup regatta this Saturday.

The men and women will compete against Washington College and St.

John's College in the annual race.

The race site rotates between the three schools, and this year takes place at Middle Branch Park, the Blue Jay's home turf.

On Sunday, the team travels to Virginia for the Occoquan Sprints where they will fight for gold against teams from around the region.
