Upper Marlboro Products Fare Well in Opener

After three years at a school in western Pennsylvania, Terrance Hemsley of Upper Marlboro made his debut on Saturday for the Bowie State University football team.

And it was a good opener for the Bulldogs' defense and Hemsley, a senior linebacker who transferred from Division II California of Pennsylvania.

Hemsley, a product of Gwynn Park, had three tackles as Bowie State won, 28-7, at Assumption in Worcester, MA. William Bailey, who is from Upper Marlboro and graduated from Bowie High, had one tackle for the Bulldogs.

Ramono Flowers, a Largo High graduate, carred the ball three times for minus two yards for Bowie State. He began his college career at Central Michigan.

Bowie State quarterback Clifton Budd of Silver Spring completed 14 of 24 passes for 177 yards and two scores.

“This was an impressive win and a good way to start a season," Bowie State head coach Damon Wilson said on the school's athletic website.

Bowie State, 6-4 last year, will host Benedict on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Bulldogs Stadium.

Monroe aids Maryland win

Next up for Maryland is West Virginia, at home on Sept. 17.
