* 10-and-under -- The Sykesville Raiders' defense forced three second-quarter fumbles that led to touchdowns as the Raiders shut out the Arbutus Golden Eagles, 27-0, to win the 1994 Super Bowl.
Sykesville running back Jon Bruce racked up 154 yards of total offense and scored three touchdowns to win the Most Valuable Player Award.
After Arbutus drove to the Raiders' 25-yard line, Tommy Maholchic stripped the ball away from a Golden Eagles' running back. Bruce then capped a 15-play, 75-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown run.
Jimmy Holzman ran in the extra-point on a fake kick to put the Raiders ahead 7-0.
The Raiders recovered two fumbles, which helped Sykesville score two touchdowns in its next four plays.
After the first recovery, Robbie Ruch hit Bruce along the left sideline for a 50-yard touchdown pass and a 13-0 advantage.
Sykesville needed just three more plays after the next Arbutus turnover to score again. Ruch, who scored the game-winning touchdown in the semifinals last week against Westminster, completed a 60-yard touchdown pass for a 19-0 halftime lead.
On the opening drive of the second half, the Raiders marched down the field behind the running of Nick Kraus, who finished with 92 yards on 18 carries.
Ruch topped the drive with an 8-yard scoring --. Dustin Lippert kicked the two-point conversion to give the Raiders a 27-0 lead.
The offensive line of Matt Cheney, David Reynolds, Chris Carey, Lippert and Maholchic powered the Raiders by opening holes for the running backs and protecting Ruch in the pocket.
Ruch completed four of five passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 26 yards and scored the final touchdown.
The defense was led by Maholchic and Matt Elder, who each recorded eight tackles. Others that aided in the strong defensive effort were lineman Kevin Furlough, linebacker John Mead and safety Brian Robinson.
Soccer
* Men's league -- Combining timely scoring with some luck, the Westminster Wolves defeated the Chambersburg Wings, 3-1, for the Mason-Dixon League championship.
It is the first title for the seventh-seeded Wolves, who needed to upset second-seeded Middletown and fourth-seeded Williamsport before meeting top-seeded Chambersburg.
Trailing 1-0, the Wolves scored twice in the final 15 minutes of the first half.
Westminster tied the game on a goal by Scott Myers off an assist from Bruce Flacher. The Wolves went ahead 2-1 just before halftime when Steve Richardson scored off a perfectly timed pass from Nick Hailstone.
Then the luck kicked in.
The Wings seemingly tied the game at 2, but were called for offsides.
The Wolves gained their first two-goal margin on an own goal by Chambersburg with two minutes remaining. Trying to cross the ball, Hailstone's pass deflected off a defender into the goal.
* 10-and-under boys -- After allowing two goals in the first three minutes of the game, Freedom Flash goalkeeper Michael Lane shut down Pikesville.
Lane didn't allow a goal for the rest of regulation and sudden-death overtime. In a shootout for the A Division championship, Lane deflected three of the five penalty kicks as the Freedom Flash captured the title with a 3-2 victory.
The Flash scored three times during the penalty-kick round on goals by Greg Elkins, Joey Fish and Jonathan Roscoe.
It was Roscoe who allowed Lane a chance for his late heroics.
Roscoe lined a 20-yard shot into the goal to cut Pikesville's lead to 2-1 late in the second half. With less than five minutes left in regulation, Roscoe scored to tie the game at 2.
William Bach scored the game-winning goal to lead the North Carroll Rowdies to a 1-0 victory over Catonsville in the Woodlawn Fall Classic championship game. The Rowdies finished their season at 19-4-2.
Scott Rogers assisted Bach on the score.
The Rowdies advanced to the final by edging Rosedale, 1-0, on a goal by Jameson Marslender.
Marslender tapped in the winning goal off a corner kick by Russ Portney.
Goalkeeper Chris Morrison recorded both shutouts. He was protected by a strong defense that included sweeper Sergion Loynaz and fullbacks Tyler Harden and Kyle Reese.
* 12-and-under boys -- Danny Neubauer scored two goals to power Champion Printers to the 12-under boys championship with a 3-1 win over the Patriots.
Ryan Thompson added the other goal.
Champion Printers finished the season with a 11-0-1 record, including a 4-0 mark in tournament play.
