The fundraiser will raise money for a a local boy who needs an assistance dog.
The Harlem Wizards will be coming to Westminster on Feb. 2 to dribble, shoot and dunk their way past a team of local players -- all to raise money for an assistance dog for a local boy. Wendy Boag said she invited the Harlem Wizards to come play a game at McDaniel College as a way to raise money for her son's assistance dog. "They are like the 'Harlem Globetrotters,' but on more of a community-type scale," Boag said. "They do all of the same types of tricks as the Globe Trotters, but are more interactive with the kids in the audience, like inviting them all onto the court for half time fun." According to the fundraising website, www.buddyfund.net, assistance dogs can help children with disorders like anxiety, OCD, ADHD and Sensory …

By CONNOR LETOURNEAU Capital News Service Juan Dixon couldn’t help but feel a bit nostalgic as he sat in a red Comcast Center seat late last month. The Terrapins men’s basketball icon had spent the past 20 minutes discussing life after College Park. He had touched upon a failed drug test, the ups and downs of playing abroad and the NBA comeback attempt that ultimately landed him alongside the newest generation of Terps. Then he paused.

But that banner, that’s possible. Everybody on the team…

Not saying the non-call would have helped Century win (you don't shoot free throws on a player control foul anyway), the buzzer-beater shot was incredible and the Owls deserved the win. Just saying that the officials should have made that call and Century would have had the ball with a throw-in rather than trying to race up court and have the ball stolen. Congrats again to the Owls, what a great … more ›
