Candidates propose vocational school to address overcrowding

Republican nominees Yahu Blackwell and Glen Geelhaar are proposing to expand vocational education in Maryland’s 8th Legislative District and convert the former Golden Ring Middle School into a technology and trades-focused high school to address overcrowding and prepare students for the workforce. Overlea High School, originally designed for about 1,100 students, now serves approximately 1,600, according to figures cited by the candidates. The overcrowding has resulted in some classes being held in temporary outdoor trailers. Blackwell, the Republican Senate nominee, and Geelhaar, the Republican House of Delegates nominee, say repurposing Golden Ring could provide additional classroom space while offering students alternatives to a traditional four-year college education. Their proposal includes instruction in automotive mechanics, plumbing, welding, electrical work, barbering, cosmetology, heating and air conditioning, pipe fitting and bricklaying. They also want to restore driver’s education and home economics and expand financial literacy instruction covering credit management, homeownership, business development and civics. The candidates say students could graduate with trade credentials and pursue apprenticeships, potentially earning $70,000 to $80,000 annually. Actual earnings would depend on the occupation, qualifications, experience and employment opportunities. The candidates have not released a detailed implementation plan or a comprehensive cost estimate for the proposed curriculum. Boundary

No. 1 high school football team in the country upset after epic 17-point comeback

Last week, against one of the nation's top programs, The St. James Academy (VA) took IMG Academy (FL) down to the wire before losing on a last-second field goal. Even in the loss, the Strivers showed the nation where they stood as a program. On Saturday night, they had a chance to do it again as they hosted the No. 1 team in the country in the Super 25 rankings , the St. Frances Academy Panthers (Baltimore, MD). With memories of last year's 35-point loss to the Panthers likely still fresh, the Strivers overcame those demons. They picked up a program-defining win, erasing a 17-point deficit to beat St. Frances Academy 28-20 . Through one quarter, a repeat of last year's win for St. Frances Academy looked possible. The Panthers struck first late in the quarter as quarterback Justin Merriman connected with Brandon Jefferson on a touchdown strike in the corner of the end zone. Senior running back Sa'Nir Brooks added another touchdown with 48 seconds remaining in the quarter, giving St. Frances Academy a 14 -0 lead. They added another field goal in the second quarter before the Strivers scored a much-needed touchdown before the half. Quarterback Kash Carter
