Nice find! From back in the days when my main priorities on the beat were to find out guys’ post-win ice cream orders and who was beating who at ping pong.

[The Seahawk Perch @TheSeahawkPerch]

Yup! Per @edetweiler's story, the first stop was an unplanned trip to McDonald's after a win at UNCG in Nov. 2014 -- his first victory at UNCW.

Hawks had lost 11 straight on the road before that night.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the just-dropped episode of Bluey “Cricket” should be required viewing for sports storytellers everywhere.

First time checking out extreme boat docking with the Chesapeake Cowboys.

[CBMM @CBMMorg]

On Monday, we celebrated the great work of our Rising Tide after-school program as they launched their newly constructed St. Michaels sailing scow! This spring, 19 middle school students logged a total of 630 hours toward the build.

As National Volunteer Month continues, it's a perfect time to share this story from the latest edition of The Chesapeake Log about the volunteer crew of our venerable passenger-carrying buyboat Winnie Estelle.

I’ve got a sharp 3-year-old on Northern Kentucky, Illinois, Baylor and USC. National champ NKU by a 6-5 score over Baylor.

My 3-year-old’s Final Four:
Maryland
Purdue
Colgate
Boise State

Maryland over Boise State in the title game.

Lock it in.

“This would have meant a lot to my dad,” Anne Whaley said. “He knew there was going to be a boat built, but he didn’t know the specifics. It’s wonderful that Grigg followed through. I think my dad, and my mother also, would be very proud.”

Two-plus years later, this guy trimmed me up again today. Please @postlocal come down to Friendly Barber Shop in Fort Washington and tell his story.

One of these guys is a Hall of Famer, and it’s not Mr. Consistency, Consummate Pro or Leatherman.

[Eric Detweiler @edetweiler]

Oh hey, I wrote this. I did the interviews last December, wrote it in January and then had to wait a while to get the Hall of Fame induction back on the calendar. Cool to see these guys get their due as a group. #RaiseHigh

Take a step back in time with our 1993 Sweet 16 team as they reflect on their Cinderella run ahead of their @GWsports Hall of Fame enshrinement in February.

"It was a feeling of relief, like, ‘I did this,’” Lewis said. “I did it, some by myself and some of it with other people, and working so hard on that boat, it was really special to me to finally get it done.”

SID on my business card now stands for Sailing Information Director ⛵️

[Eric Detweiler @edetweiler]

Signing off after five years at @GWsports. Thanks to all the student-athletes, coaches and alumni who trusted me to tell their stories. I’m a Terp but Buff & Blue Forever, too.

Next stop: Eastern Shore living and a new gig @CBMMorg. More cool tales to tell ahead.

Maddy’s first ballgame. She met Pinch, played on the playground, ate ice cream and caught a ball in her @BlueCrabs debut.
