Middletown barely preserved its undefeated record in a 22 to 13 win over Boonsboro. Four center snaps and a third quarter interception nearly doomed the Knights before a late push and a key punt block setup a fifth quarter score, then Jake Earp scored to put Middletown ahead and Brian Moore added a late field goal to seal it.

Bailey aims to emulate Deion as Redskins rookie shines
Washington rookie Champ Bailey became the youngest NFL player to return an interception for a touchdown, notching three picks in a 24-19 win over Arizona and earning NFC defensive player of the week. Bailey, 21, eyes continued impact against Dallas as Norv Turner weighs defense first. Darrell Green, Sam Shade, and Bailey’s early success highlight a budding two way star discussion as Bailey chases Dan Sandifer’s single season interception record.

Johnson to Redskins reshapes 1999 NFL balance
February 15, 1999 marked Washington’s best day as Brad Johnson left Minnesota for the Redskins for three draft picks, leaving the Ravens with Scott Mitchell and later Stoney Case. Johnson’s play helped Washington surge to 4-1 with an NFL leading offense, while Baltimore slumped 2-4 amid quarterback struggles and a conservative running game. Tony Banks finally saw action, delivering a 15 of 24 for 69 yards in a 35-8 loss to Kansas City.
