Here are the top three stories today in Catonsville:

1. Maryland Target stores are reducing prices to clear out excess inventory while adapting to changes in consumer spending due to growing inflation. Due to the changing buying habits of its customers, Target will be marking down products, canceling orders, and raising some prices due to "unusually high" transportation and fuel costs. (Maryland Patch)
2. Five-star lacrosse goalie, Catonsville native Brian Ruppel, joins the University of Maryland Terrapins for the 2023 season. Maryland head coach John Tillman starts preparation for the following season almost immediately once the current season ends. (247 Sports)
3. Catonsville High graduate Jasmine Dickey led Delaware University's women's basketball team, the Blue Hens, to an 81-78 victory against Towson University during the 2021-2022 season. Dickey had a game-high 29 points and was the two-time CAA Player of the Year. She was drafted by the WNBA’s Dallas Wings after the season. (Subscription: Baltimore Sun)
