News: Games Count Right Away in Expanded Dulles District

(Mar. 15, 2011) - A consequence of the expanded Dulles District, swelling to nine teams this year with the addition of new schools Tuscarora and Woodgrove, is that some spring sports have no schedule room for non-district opponents so every game will count in the standings.

Such is the case for soccer, which kicks off tonight with a full district schedule on the second day of the spring season, and tennis which opened the spring season with full district matches.

Baseball and softball can schedule 20 games so Dulles teams will get four non-district contests to go with the home-and-away 16-game schedule. For soccer and tennis, the limit by the VHSL is 16 contests which makes every game this year a district contest.

Lacrosse can only schedule 14 matches so each team will only play one district match with each other. With George Mason thrown in the mix for lacrosse, that makes 10 teams and 9 matches, with five non-district contests. Some teams will play district foes twice with the first match not counting in the standings.
