Eastern Baltimore County News
Officers responded to a local hospital for a reported walk-in gunshot victim on Thursday, Dec. 2 around 11 p.m.
During that same timeframe, there were reports of a potential shooting in the Unit block of Pavia Court in Rosedale.

Councilwoman Cathy Bevins released a statement about a construction project near Carroll Island Road and Eastern Boulevard in Chase that cause delays starting next week
“A Baltimore County contractor will be replacing a large-diameter storm drain pipe under Carroll Island Road starting on December 6. Crews will be working about 500 feet from the intersection of Carroll Island Road and Eastern Boulevard until the end of the month, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday,” Bevins said.
“In order to replace the pipe, some lanes will be intermittently closed. Drivers should expect some delays.”
Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 7, with the first of two public surveys, you can have a say in what Baltimore County’s newest elementary school will be called.
For the first survey, Baltimore County Public Schools will invite the public to submit names for the new school, which is currently under construction at the intersection of Rossville Boulevard and Gum Spring Road in White Marsh. Naming nominations will begin on Dec. 7, 2021, and close on Dec. 23, 2021. Nominations are open to all citizens, including BCPS staff, students, parents, and community members, and nominators may submit more than one name.
A second survey from Jan. 4 to Jan. 21, 2022, will ask respondents to choose from among the top most popular names. The top vote-getter will go to BCPS leadership for review and end with Board of Education of Baltimore County approval by February 22, 2022.
A link to the first survey will be available here and will become active on Tuesday, Dec. 7. The first survey also may be accessed by smartphone on Dec. 7 by using the QR Code at the bottom of this release.
“Schools in Baltimore County are more than just wonderful places to learn. They are also centers of their communities and neighborhoods, and their names reflect that,” said BCPS Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams. “Northeastern Baltimore County is known for its strong families and amazing schools, and so I am looking forward to seeing plenty of pride and creativity in the names to be put forward for this new school.”
All nominations must meet school system criteria to be eligible for consideration. For example, the Board of Education may name a school after:
• A community, subdivision, or street on which the school is located
• The geographical location of the school
• A significant and distinguishable landmark, which can assist in locating the general area of the school
• A deceased, prominent person who has made an outstanding contribution of service to
Baltimore County, the state of Maryland, or to the United States.
Full criteria are contained in Baltimore County Board of Education Policy and Rule 7520 regarding the naming of a new school.
The Dundalk Owls season came to an end as they were defeated by Mervo from Baltimore City 22 to 13 in the 4A/3A Football State Title Game.
The Owls appeared they were on their way to their first state football title as they jumped out to a 13 to 0 lead over Mervo. Dundalk’s defense was dominant in the first half as the Owl’s defense recovered a touchdown on Mervo’s first offensive series. Then Dundalk stopped Mervo on two different drives near their goal line.
Mervo final scored a touchdown on the Owl defense in the final two minutes, but the game changed when Mervo blocked a punt for a touchdown in the final seconds to take a 14 to 13 lead at half.
Dundalk had a golden opportunity in the beginning of the second half as they recovered a bad snap on a punt in Mervo’s redzone. The Owls could not score as Stokes was sacked on third down and Owls missed the field goal.
Mervo came back on the next series with two big pass plays that resulted in a touchdown and a two-point conversion that extended the Mervo lead to 22 to 13.
Dundalk’s offense got into Mervo territory but couldn’t score. The Owls would not score in the second half as they had a fumble at the Mervo one-yard line. Stokes also threw two endzone interceptions in the fourth quarter on the last two drives.
The Owls were able to score their only offensive touchdown in the first quarter as Quarterback Calvin Stokes scored on a 1-yard touchdown run. That was set up by Stokes’ 20-yard fourth down pass to Marcus Nicholson on the previous play.
This was the second state title appearance for the Owls as they lost to Damascus in 2015.
