4. The Ravens win Super Bowl XXXV to give Baltimore its first NFL championship in 30 years

The game was a final loud statement from a defense that had convincingly staked its claim as one of the NFL’s best ever as the Ravens won 34-7 over the New York Giants. They would have recorded the first shutout in Super Bowl history had it not been for a kickoff returned for a touchdown in the third quarter.

The signature moment in the game came in the third quarter after the Giants narrowed the deficit to 17-7 and kicked off to Maryland product Jermaine Lewis. Still mourning a stillborn son from a month earlier, Lewis streaked 84 yards down the sideline to make it a 17-point game and end any whispers of a New York comeback.

Baltimore picked off Giants quarterback Kerry Collins four times and Ray Lewis earned Super Bowl MVP honors, but the victory meant more than that to a city that spent 12 years without NFL football as commissioner Paul Tagliabue infamously suggested that Baltimore build a museum after a failed expansion bid. Instead of a museum, it was the sight of Tagliabue handing the trophy to Ravens owner Art Modell that provided the last laugh for a football town reborn.

What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?

It didn't even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.
