Big Friday as Playoffs Go Into High Gear - Most Dulles District Teams Faced with "Win or Go Home" Contests

(May 20, 2011) - Playoffs have been going on for a week but things kick into high gear tonight as the Dulles District baseball, softball and soccer quarterfinals open. With the district receiving four Region II bids this year for the first time, the quarterfinal contests are essentially for regional tournament spots if the top seed is able to advance.

In the Liberty District, Stone Bridge boys and girls soccer shoots for district tournament titles at McLean in a doubleheader starting at 6 p.m. with the boys. The Bulldogs softball team is also in semifinal action at McLean. All three teams will advance to the Northern Region tournament as will top-seeded Bulldog baseball.

The Cedar Run District is still trying to squeeze in the final regular-season contests and the Broad Run girls soccer team will host Dominion tonight in a game suspended last night by lightning. The game is not important for district tournament purposes but does have meaning for Region II seeding for regular-season champion Broad Run. The Spartans and Titans have had their district quarterfinal contests bumped to Saturday.
