Spencer and UConn Still In NCAA Tourney

 Cam Spencer has always been a shooter. At Loyola (MD), he shot 44 percent from three as a freshman. At Rutgers, he hit 43.4 percent of his threes and drilled a buzzer-beater to take down the No. 1 team in the country.

So when the Davidsonville, Maryland native transferred to UConn in the offseason, there was no doubt about what he would be asked to do. Spencer would need to take — and make — a lot of threes to keep the spacing of Dan Hurley’s juggernaut offense intact.

So far, Spencer has been an on-court revelation while also fitting in nicely within the culture of the UConn program.

Currently, Spencer is shooting 49.5 percent from the field, 44.6 percent from three, and 91.7 percent from the free throw line with three games left in the regular season. That puts Spencer in the running for the vaunted 50-40-90 club, a collection of the sport’s most elite sharpshooters. To qualify, players must average 50 percent or better from the floor, over 40 percent from three, and over 90 percent from the charity stripe.

Number 1 ranked UConn is in the last 16 teams in the 2024 NCAA tournament.  The next few days will determine if they finish as National Champions.

Large Building Fire On Central Ave.

 DAVIDSONVILLE, MD - Officials said a Davidsonville storage facility burned Saturday, causing several explosions and injuring one.

Crews said the injured victim, a business owner, was treated and released on the scene for a minor wound.

The fire department is still investigating the cause, area of origin and estimated dollar loss.

First responders said a passerby reported the blaze in the 400 block of Central Avenue around 7:55 p.m.

A neighbor called 911 minutes later to report that the "whole building" was on fire and that loud "booms" were heard, a press release said.

Firefighters also said explosions could be heard from inside.

A building occupant said the facility had a substantial fuel load, including hydraulic fluid containment, the release stated.

First responders said they called for a second alarm, given the building's size and the amount of fire.

A team of 98 said it used water brought to the scene to protect the attached business and several exposed vehicles.

Crews said they simultaneously set up a sustainable water supply to obtain the amount of water needed to control the main portion of the fire. This area does not have fire hydrants.

It took about three hours to control the blaze, firefighters said

Melvin Harmel Sr. Passes Away


 Melvin Joseph Harmel, Sr., 91, of Davidsonville, MD was welcomed into the arms of the Lord on February 11, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. 

Melvin was born on July 1, 1932 in Mitchellville, MD, to the late William and Elizabeth Harmel. When he was four years old, the family moved to the family farm in Davidsonville where he would remain for his entire life. Growing up on the farm challenged him to learn many things. He became a skilled farmer and mechanic and was always willing to learn something new. These experiences led him to follow in his fathers footsteps and become a tobacco farmer which he did until his retirement.

Melvin enjoyed many things during his life. He especially enjoyed going to local tractor pulls and classic car events. He loved classic country music, often playing the guitar with his group of friends in his early years. Occasionally he would play a few tunes on his electric guitar for family. One of his favorite pastimes was playing cards with family and friends, especially Pitch. Time with family was special to Melvin.

Maggie (Anderson) Bickhart Designing At Academy

Maggie (Anderson) Bickhart, daughter of Wesley and Kimberly Anderson of Davidsonville is a recent graduate of Liberty University and the following was published in the school newspaper 


In the time since earning her degree in interior design and completing four years as a midfielder and defender for the Lady Flames Women’s Lacrosse team, Maggie (Anderson) Bickhart (’22) has been able to draw from both experiences at Liberty University to design a state-of-the-art lacrosse facility for the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

Only one month after getting hired at a commercial architectural firm, Bignell Watkins Hasser Architects, Bickhart was approached by one of the senior architects about helping with a pitch for a new lacrosse facility, knowing that her athletic experience would help inform what the space could include. The pitch was successful, and Bickhart has since made routine visits to the Naval Academy to speak with the athletic director and coaches to design the space that she described as having “everything any lacrosse player could ever dream of.”
