Volleyball: Tonight's Skinny - Broad Run and Freedom Tangle in Ashburn with Cedar Run District Title on the Line; County Can Clinch Dulles Title

(Oct. 25, 2011) - The final week of the high school girls volleyball season gets in full swing tonight with district implications across the board. At Broad Run High School, the Spartans can clinch a share of the Cedar Run District title with a win over second-place Freedom. A win by the Eagles would knot the race with just one game remaining.

In the Dulles District, Loudoun County has already clinched at least a share of the regular-season title and the Raiders can win it outright with a victory on the road at Dominion.

In the Liberty District, both Stone Bridge, at TJ, and Langley, hosting Fairfax, look to remain perfect in advance of Thursday's showdown in Ashburn.

Tuesday Night Schedule
Dulles District
Briar Woods (10-4 in district) at Heritage (13-2)
The Skinny: Heritage can clinch second place with a win tonight. Briar Woods is two back of the Pride and two ahead of Potomac Falls. This is a potential semifinal match-up in the district tournament.

Loudoun County (14-0) at Dominion (4-10)
The Skinny: Titans have back-to-back wins to move into a tie for 6th but the Raiders are on another mission to wrap up the district title.

Park View (0-14) at Woodgrove (3-11)
The Skinny: The Patriots will not make the district tournament but can make their season with a win tonight in Purcellville. The Wolverines want to move out of the No. 8 spot prior to the postseason or else face a potential district quarterfinal match at Loudoun County

Tuscarora (4-10) at Potomac Falls (8-6)
The Skinny: The Panthers roll into this match after beating Valley on Monday. That win puts PFalls just ahead of the Vikes in a quest to earn homecourt advantage in the district quarterfinals. The Huskies can finish anywhere from No. 6 to No. 8.


Cedar Run District
Freedom (7-1 in district) at Broad Run (8-0)
The Skinny: The Spartans have quietly been one of the bigger stories this season with only one loss -- a non-district contest to South County -- since dropping the season-opener to Stone Bridge. A win tonight would clinch at least a share of the district regular-season title for BR. Freedom can throw the race into a dead heat with a win tonight.

Patriot (0-8) at Battlefield (5-3)
The Skinny: First-year Patriot is looking for its first district win but don't expect "Big Sister" Battlefield to provide it.

Stonewall Jackson (2-6) at Osbourn (2-6)
The Skinny:  Winner moves into fourth place in this match-up of Manassas schools.


Liberty District
Stone Bridge (5-0 in district) at TJ (1-4)
The Skinny: Bulldogs have won 10 straight and are ranked No. 1 in the Northern Region. TJ has dropped five straight after a good non-district run.

Fairfax (3-2) at Langley (5-0)
The Skinny: Langley shouldn't overlook a Rebel team that has done well this season.

Madison (1-4) at South Lakes (2-3)
The Skinny: Is South Lakes for real ... a win tonight would cement the Seahawks regional hopes.

McLean (3-2) at Marshall (0-5)
The Skinny: Highlanders should cruise against a Marshal team that has just two wins on year.
