From Westlake High To Heavy Is The Crown: Cordae’s Journey From Charles County To Hip-Hop

WALDORF, Md. — Before Cordae’s name appeared alongside Anderson .Paak on an album cover, it appeared on a basketball roster at Westlake High School in Waldorf. At the time, he was Cordae Dunston, a student whose connection to Charles County would eventually become part of his music. According to MaxPreps, Dunston played guard on Westlake’s freshman basketball team. The sports website lists his graduation year as 2015. Years later, after establishing himself in hip-hop, Cordae gave his former school a different kind of recognition. He named a song after it.

North Point girls flag football falls in semifinals; Calvert High headed to finals

One year after its inaugural season could be largely described as patently mediocre, the North Point High School girls flag football team was clearly among the most improved squads in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference this fall. On Tuesday evening, the Eagles came painstakingly close to completing an improbable journey when they suffered a 32-26 setback against defending 4A/3A state champion Clarksburg High in one of two state semifinals. North Point (12-2) had actually scored first on Tuesday then the Eagles countered a Coyotes’ answer with one of their own for a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. One year earlier the Eagles endured a modest 4-6 regular season then won a pair of regional playoff games before falling to Wise in the region final. This year North Point was the SMAC regular season champion and later upended Wise in the region playoffs and Tuesday it hosted the state semifinals against the two-time defending state champions. “We’re definitely heading in the right direction,” said North Point second-year coach Davon Muhammad, a Gwynn Park High alum who is also the College of Southern Maryland women’s basketball head coach. “This team improved considerably from last year when we only

Planners to hold hearing on data center revision in Calvert

The next step in Calvert County’s push to ban data center development will take place Nov. 18 as the local planning commission will hold a public hearing. The hearing will start at 7 p.m. at the County Administration Building in Prince Frederick. In documents posted by county government, the revised amendment on industrial zoning in Calvert defines data centers as “an established facility, building or series of buildings which are part of a unified development and arranged in a campus setting engaging in the storage, management, processing or transmission of digital datas, and housing computer or network equipment, systems, servers, appliances and other associated components related to digital data operations.” The revised amendment will add, “This use is not permitted in any zoning district in the county.” Also to be considered by the planning commission is an accompanying resolution to revise Calvert’s Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in February 2025. On Aug. 18, the Calvert County commissioners voted unanimously to impose a six-month moratorium on data center development. At the hearing’s outset, Commissioner Catherine M. Grasso (R) asked Jason Brinkley, the county’s planning and zoning director, to provide the board with options for revising the zoning regulations that would have
