Winners for the Terps-Blue Raiders tickets

Today's trivia contest for Maryland-Middle Tennessee State tickets proved far more difficult than last week's UM-James Madison giveaway.

Seventy-four people answered correctly last week. This week? Just eight participants came up with the answer.

So which two current Terps underclassmen from Maryland played for the same head coach, albeit at different high schools? Sophomore running back Davin Meggett played for Tom Green at Surrattsville. Green left for Eleanor Roosevelt the following season, where he coached Isaiah Ross -- a freshman linebacker -- as a senior.

Two contestants guessed redshirt freshman defensive tackle A.J. Francis -- a Severn native who attended Gonzaga (D.C.) -- and redshirt freshman wide receiver Eric Powell, an Annapolis Area Christian School graduate. Ken Lucas coached Francis during his first three seasons at Gonzaga (D.C.), and then moved on to AACS, where Powell was a senior. But according to Powell's UMTerps.com bio, he didn't play football in high school.

Congratulations go out to Debbie B., George, Ronnie S., Ron G., and Sam T. I've sent an e-mail to each of you.

Thanks again to everyone for participating.
