Patapsco 2019 Record: 3-6
Head Coach Tyler Clough
“The Patapsco Patriots team for the 2021 season is the best team that I have had in my 6 years as head coach at Patapsco. For the first time every player that is on my offensive line is the actual size of a lineman. We also field a team with multiple versatile players, guys that can play anywhere on the field. The best part about my team this year is that they all just want to play football.
“After not playing in 2020 and just a mini season in the spring of 2021 my entire roster is ready to play and they don’t care what position that is. Every guy on my team is willing to play any position and do what’s best for the team. We have huge goals this fall, first we want to go over .500 and have a winning record. Every year I’ve been the coach we’ve won at least one more game than the year before, it’s time to take the next step and have a winning record. Our next goal is to make the playoffs.
“If we go over .500 and win 5-6 games, it should put us in a spot where we have the chance to make the 3A north playoffs for only the second time in school history. Overall, we have a competitive varsity team and are excited for the season.”

Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police have arrested a 28-year-old Middle River man on weapons and drug distribution charges stemming from an Aug. 20 traffic stop in White Marsh. MDTA Police Officers took the man into custody Thursday, September 2, with assistance from the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, and were assisted by the Baltimore County Police Department during the initial investigation.
Shortly after midnight Aug. 20, an MDTA Police Officer assigned to the Central Command Detachment conducted a traffic stop on a dark blue Nissan Maxima for drifting across lane lines on northbound I-95 near Exit 67. As the officer approached the stopped vehicle, the vehicle fled the scene.
MDTA Police Officers responded to the address of the fleeing vehicle’s registered owner. While at the address, officers located the vehicle and observed a male subject exit the vehicle and place a backpack in a trash receptacle. When officers approached the man, he fled on foot. Officers seized the backpack and discovered a loaded handgun and baggies of suspected crack cocaine and marijuana inside. During their investigation, officers learned the handgun had been reported stolen by the Hampshire County (W.Va.) Sheriff’s Office.
Officers obtained a search warrant for the residence of the fleeing vehicle’s registered owner. During the investigation and the execution of the search warrant, officers seized additional firearms, drugs and ammunition.
As a result of their investigation, MDTA Police Officers obtained an arrest warrant for Deshawn Murdock, 28, of Middle River. After his arrest Thursday, Murdock was transported to the Baltimore County Detention Center. He faces 14 criminal charges including controlled dangerous substance (drug) possession with intent to distribute and possession of a stolen firearm.
Kenwood 2019 Record: 4-6 (3A playoffs first round)
Head Coach Derrick Krumholtz
“We are very talented at the skill positions and we return the entire starting Offensive Line from the Spring Mini-Season. We lost 4 key Seniors from the Spring team, but we did add two talented players that were not eligible in the spring. We are excited to see what this group can do against a very tough schedule of competition,” Krumholtz said about the season.
“We are a 3A team playing a predominantly 2A schedule so we will have less opportunities for playoff points compared to the other 3A teams in the county. It’s unfair and unfortunate, but all we can do is try to win the games we have on our schedule and see where we end up.”

Adam Laye, social studies department chair at Parkville High School, has been selected as one of 10 finalists for the 2021 National History Teacher of the Year. The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History selected the finalists from among the National History Teacher of the Year winners from all 50 states, U.S. Department of Defense schools, Washington D.C., and U.S. territories.
The national winner will be announced later this month. An in-person ceremony for the winner will be held in late fall 2021, health and safety protocols permitting. Support for the National History Teacher of the Year Award ceremony is provided by HISTORY®.
“We are so proud of Adam Laye for his exemplary teaching and leadership and for receiving this extraordinary honor,” said Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams.
Laye has been teaching American history and American government for the past 15 years. He taught at Randallstown High before Parkville High. It was in college, at Frostburg State College, that Laye decided to apply his interest in social sciences to a career in education. Laye, who holds both a bachelor’s degree in social sciences and a master’s degree in teaching from Frostburg, is recognized for his inquiry-based approach to teaching history.
“I enjoy the challenge of making history relevant to my students’ lives,” Laye said, “by giving them the tools to derive meaning from it.”
Inaugurated in 2004, the History Teacher of the Year Award highlights the crucial importance of history education by honoring exceptional American history teachers from elementary school through high school. The award honors one K-12 teacher from each state, the District of Columbia, U.S. Department of Defense schools and U.S. Territories. In fall 2021, the National History Teacher of the Year will be selected from the pool of state winners.
Nominations for the 2022 History Teacher of the Year awards are now open. Students, parents, colleagues, and supervisors may nominate K-12 teachers for the award. The deadline for 2022 nominations is March 31, 2022.
