Frederick native Brad Barber has been promoted to head coach of the Hood men?s lacrosse program, making the 23-year-old the youngest head lacrosse coach in NCAA Division III, the school announced Wednesday.
Barber served as a graduate assistant for the Blazers the past two seasons after completing his playing career at Division I Robert Morris. Hood?s 2013 squad set a school record for faceoff percentage and produced the program?s first two all-conference selections.
Barber, the eighth head coach in program history at Hood, passes Olivet's Adam Hague for the distinction of youngest head coach in Division III men?s lacrosse. Hague, one of three other men?s lacrosse coaches at the level under 25, is 24 years old.
In high school, Barber was a four-year starter for Tuscarora High in Frederick. He continued his career as a reserve on defense at Robert Morris, where he contributed to the growing success of the Colonials' program. In 2011, the Colonials posted a record of 9-7 and advanced to the inaugural Northeast Conference tournament as the No. 3 seed.
Barber has been involved in the lacrosse community, giving private lessons and volunteering with the Western Maryland Youth Lacrosse organization. He also has coached with many high school-level club programs. Most recently, Barber was a speaker at the 2013 US Lacrosse Convention, where he talked to more than 150 youth and high school coaches about team and individual defense.
In 2012, he established the Maryland Lacrosse Showcase in Frederick, one of the largest recruiting events of its kind on the East Coast. Going into its second year, the showcase has attracted more than 550 athletes from 37 states, five Canadian provinces and Europe.
Barber has also developed one of the largest club programs in Western Maryland for high school athletes, attracting players from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and all regions of Maryland.?
William & Mary women hire Towson U. grad Fratzke
Former Towson University standout Hillary Fratzke was named head women?s lacrosse coach by William & Mary, the school announced Tuesday.
She replaces Brooke Ireland, who resigned in May after two seasons. Fratzke was an assistant coach at Northwestern the past three seasons, helping the Wildcats to NCAA national championships in 2011 and 2012 and a semifinal appearance in 2013.
At Towson, Fratzke earned Intercollegiate Women?s Lacrosse Coaches Association All-America honors three times and ranked fourth in NCAA women?s lacrosse history in draw controls (327). She was a four-time All-Colonial Athletic Association selection, was a two-time Tewaaraton Award nominee and was CAA Player of the Year honors in 2008 and 2010. She attended Queen Anne?s High in Centreville.
C.M. Wright grad Lebrun honored
Harford sophomore attacker Sara Lebrun (C. Milton Wright) was named a National Junior College Athletic Association first-team All-American in women's lacrosse, as announced by the national office.
She recorded 104 points and 89 goals in her Fighting Owls career. Lebrun becomes the eighth All-American this school year for Harford, setting a school record. She totaled 39 goals and 44 points during the 2013 season. As a freshman, Lebrun tallied 50 goals and 60 points, both totals ranking second in the school's single-season record book. She totaled at least three goals eight times this year, including a season-best seven markers in a win over CCBC-Essex. She added four goals in the NJCAA Region XX semifinal win that clinched the program's second trip to the NJCAA national tournament.
Among the other players chosen to the first team were: freshman goalie Brittani Biddinger (Severna Park), freshman attacker Shannon O'Neal (Severna Park) and sophomore midfielder Meghenn Jackson (Broadneck) of Anne Arundel CC; freshman midfielder Carlin Grudzien (Catholic) of CCBC-Essex; and sophomore midfielder Maddie Poehlman (Seton Keough) of Howard CC.
Quick hits Salisbury sophomore Alex Nieves will receive a Capital Athletic Conference Medal of Inspiration. The award is for students who persevered through extraordinary circumstances and whose determination, devotion and passion are exemplary, revered among their peers and worthy of special recognition. Nieves returned to the men?s lacrosse team in 2013 after a battle with leukemia in 2010. ... Chesapeake Bayhawks coach Dave Cottle was named a coach for Saturday's Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game in Charlotte, N.C.

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Scientists have found that key metabolites in blood -- chemical 'fingerprints' left behind as a result of early molecular changes before birth or in infancy -- could provide clues to a person's long-term overall health and rate of aging in later life.
As bad as things have been going for the New England Patriots, it may turn out to be a good thing for Danny Amendola.?The former St. Louis Rams wide receiver arrived this offseason to fill the shoes of Wes Welker, who departed for Denver.
However, with the continued injury concerns regarding Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez being cut due to his potential involvement in a murder, Amendola appears poised to be an even more vital part of the offense.
Quarterback Tom Brady needs weapons. More than likely, the run game will be a bigger factor than we expected, but ultimately he's going to need to pass. At that point, he's got to have weapons, and Amendola is almost it.
For the Patriots, it hasn't been a great offseason. But for Amendola, the opportunity to prove himself as one of the top receivers in the NFL just fell into his lap.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ? Commuters braced for traffic snarls Monday morning as two of San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit's largest unions went on strike, halting train service for the first time in 16 years.
The walkout promised to derail the more than 400,000 riders who use the nation's fifth-largest rail system and affect every mode of transportation. Transportation officials say another 60,000 vehicles could be on the road, clogging highways and bridges throughout the Bay Area.
The strike was called after an 11th-hour effort to resume negotiation failed to produce a new contract by the deadline of midnight Sunday. Both the unions and management said they were far apart on key sticking points including salary, pensions, health care and safety.
"A strike is always the last resort and we have done everything in our power to avoid it," said Josie Mooney, a negotiator for Service Employees International Union Local 1021.
"Our members aren't interested in disrupting the Bay Area, but management has put us in a position where we have no choice," said Antonette Bryant, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555.
Negotiations fell apart Saturday and the unions walked away from the table. California Gov. Jerry Brown's office had urged both sides to resume discussions Sunday with rush hour on the horizon.
But talks between the two sides came to an end Sunday night with BART accusing negotiators of walking away from the bargaining table, while the SEIU countered in a statement that management "threw in the towel."
The unions, which represent nearly 2,400 train operators, station agents, mechanics, maintenance workers and professional staff, were asking for a 5 percent raise each year over the next three years. BART said that train operators and station agents in the unions average about $71,000 in base salary and $11,000 in overtime annually. The workers also pay a flat $92 monthly fee for health insurance.
BART spokesman Rick Rice said the agency had up its original offer of a 4 percent pay rise over the next four years to 8 percent. The proposed salary increase is on top of a 1 percent raise employees were scheduled to receive Monday, Rice added.
The transit agency also said it offered to reduce the contribution employees would have to make to their pensions, and lower the costs of health care premiums they would have to pay.
Bryant said Sunday that BART's latest proposal is not an actual pay increase, calling it "surface bargaining."
BART's last strike lasted six days in 1997. The transit agency handles more than 40 percent of commuters coming from the East Bay to San Francisco with the Bay Bridge handling another 50 percent said John Goodwin, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
Other transit agencies in the region urged commuters to consider carpooling, taking buses or ferries, working from home and, if they must drive to work, to leave earlier or even later than usual.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said the city will offer increased transportation options, including at the airport, and increase staff for traffic management. BART said it will let commuters use parking lots at their 33 stations free of charge for the purpose of carpooling.
