Volleyball Round-up Sept. 13-16: Heritage Knocks Off Broad Run but Spartans on Track for Dulles District Showdown at Loudoun County Tonight

(Sept. 21, 2010) - Broad Run High School was involved in two of the most interesting matches last week as the Spartans came back to beat Potomac Falls after dropping the first game but on the next night it was the Spartans unable to hold a one-game lead against Heritage.

The Pride (3-0) are quietly the only defeated team in Loudoun but have played just three contests while some teams have faced as many as nine opponents. Heritage's exciting 14-25, 25-16, 27-25, 28-26 on the road last Wednesday was even more impressive considering senior standout Emma LeMaitre is still out with a cast on her right foot. Heritage staved off game points in both the third and fourth games with the backing of a vocal student section that made the short trip from Leesburg to back their classmates.

The night before it was Broad Run doing the comeback as the Spartans downed Potomac Falls 23-25, 25-11, 25-8, 25-23 in another well-played early season match.

Despite the non-district loss to Heritage, the Spartans are still on track in the Dulles District where they are 4-0 and facing three-time defending AA state champion Loudoun County (5-0 in district) tonight in Leesburg with first place in the district on the line. Last year the two teams split in the regular season, then County won a one-game playoff for the district's top seed only to have Broad Run come back and win the district tournament title.
