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.

Major metropolitan county chooses data center block against budget deficit

(The Center Square) – Real estate once home to Landover Mall until 2002, and since a mostly vacant parking lot, is now the site of a stalled $5 billion data center in Maryland’s financially troubled Prince George’s County. Brightseat Tech Park, approved in 2024, has been met by protestors disputing its revenue generation in exchange for what they say is water pollution and higher electricity bills. The project was scheduled to break ground this year or next. Developers projected annual local tax revenue at $53.5 million. The county has a projected $151 million budget deficit. Prince George’s County is home to nearly 1 million people, the University of Maryland, Bowie State University, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. On July 7, the county council passed a two-year pause through Resolution CR-066-2026. The woes are significant for the county and area this decade. Six Flags America, a 515-acre theme park in Bowie and Upper Marlboro, permanently closed; the NFL Washington Commanders are expected to exit Landover by 2030, going back to the site of their longtime home at RFK Stadium; and 2U Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Regional Shoppers Food Warehouse locations are closing, Diamond Transportation filed a plant closure

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
