(Nov. 14, 2010) - Loudoun volleyball fans will have three local choices on Tuesday in VHSL quarterfinal action as three Loudoun schools claimed regional titles on Saturday and earned a final home game in the state playoffs. Heritage, Loudoun County and Stone Bridge were doing all the celebrating Saturday evening.

Heritage had the most dramatic road to a regional crown, having to come back and fight off match point in game four against Osbourn Park and then survive a Yellow Jacket comeback in game five and finally win the fifth game, 17-15, for the school's first regional volleyball title. The Northwest Region champs will host Deep Run Tuesday in the AAA state quarterfinals.

Stone Bridge had a much easier time as the Bulldogs swept Hayfield to take the Northern Region title at Centreville High School on Saturday. Stone Bridge will host Princess Anne on Tuesday in the state quarterfinals.

Finally in an all-Loudoun Region II final, Loudoun County claimed its fifth consecutive regional title as the Raiders swept Dulles District foe Freedom. The Raiders will host a AA state quarterfinal as they start their unprecedented bid for a fourth straight state title. The Eagles, making their first state appearance, will be on the road Tuesday.
