Warriors top Lions, remain unbeaten

EASTON — He had just watched his team go over the 40-point mark for the fifth time this season to remain undefeated. Jamier Copper carried 18 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Ja’Zir Dickerson returned a punt for a touchdown. Chad Stanley returned a kickoff for another score. Brady Walls tossed a pair of touchdown passes. And the defense carried a shutout into the third quarter Friday night, as Easton High’s football team pieced together a 48-16 victory over Queen Anne’s County at Warrior Stadium. But Easton head coach Matt Griffith wasn’t exactly the happiest of campers afterwards. “This is the worst I’ve ever felt winning 48-16,” Griffith said. “You win 48-16 you should feel really good about it. I know who we are. I know what we can do.” While the Warriors (6-0) were never in jeopardy of suffering their first loss of the season — building a 32-0 lead in the third quarter against the young Lions (1-5) — Griffith was hoping for execution that was sharper and more consistent, especially with a date at unbeaten Stephen Decatur (6-0) looming Thursday night in Berlin. “We did not early,” Griffith said of his team’s offensive execution. “We did

Calvert above state stats for science and social studies

A second summation of Calvert’s performance on state standardized tests brought more good news to education officials. The report on the county public school system’s rankings in the latest Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program show Calvert outperforming the state in science and social studies. The summary was presented to the Calvert school board at their Oct. 1 meeting by Scott McComb, director of system and instructional performance, and Janel McPhillps, supervisor of elementary science. McPhillips noted Calvert is ranked second in Maryland in fifth-grade science. Every elementary school in Calvert “exceeded the statewide proficiency average,” McPhillips said. “We’re getting students more opportunities to do science.” The data also indicates some needle movement in closing the achievement gap in all the assessment categories. “African American students, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students improved over the 2025 results,” McPhillips said. Regarding social studies, McComb said Calvert’s results show “strong and improving achievement” in both grade eight U.S. history and government. “We want students to know the content but we also want them to be able to analyze evidence, explain their thinking and support claims,” McComb said. Board members followed up with questions about the tests and steps staff are taking to further improve
