There's plenty of chatter in the hallways today at Calvert Hall, where the anticipation is high as the school's boys soccer team prepares to make history tonight in its Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference semifinal game against Mount St. Joseph. Game time is set for 6:30. The key word above is "night" as the school will host its first-ever athletic event under portable lights.

"It's pretty exciting around here -- there's a lot of buzz right now on campus," said Calvert Hall coach Andy Moore.

Calvert Hall's stadium can hold 2,700, and Moore said he wouldn't be surprised to see tonight's game played in front of a capacity crowd.

The administration thought it would be a good idea to play the game at night to allow more fans to support the game. Moore said if all things go well, it may lead to some lacrosse games being played under lights in the spring and perhaps permanent lights being put in.

As for the game itself, it should be a great one. Both teams have creative playmakers on offense and sturdy defenses. Geaton Caltabiano and David Arnold lead the visitors, while Pete Caringi Jr. and Zach Wenger are two of the focal points for the Cardinals. The teams split two games during the regular season with Calvert hall coming away with a 3-1 home win. The winner will meet No. 1 and defending league champ McDonogh on Monday for the championship.
