The Rams, with each win, have a ritual.Keith Rawlings, in his third season coaching Edgewood, let out a jovial, “Sing it louder!” to his team, which had just beaten North Harford, 20-0, on the road.After every win — Friday night being Edgewood’s sixth without a loss — the team belts out in unison the chorus to John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” How did a country anthem about Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River become Edgewood football’s fight song?“We went to camp this summer up in the hills of West Virginia and introduced that song to them,” Rawlings said. “I’ve coached a couple championship teams that after every game, they would sing it.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australians voted in a referendum Saturday on whether to enshrine in the nation’s constitution a mechanism for Indigenous people to advise Parliament on policies that affect their lives.Proponents said creating an Indigenous Voice via the constitution would recognize the special place that Indigenous people have in Australian history while giving them input in government policies.Opponents argued it would divide Australians along racial lines without reducing Indigenous disadvantages.Bipartisan support regarded as essential in Australia for successfully changing the constitution never emerged, and Indigenous leaders were divided on the idea.WHO ARE THE INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS?The Aboriginal people of Australia’s mainland are culturally distinct from Torres Strait Islanders who come from an archipelago off the northeast coast.
