Girls Basketball: Two Foxcroft Players Named All-DAC

Middleburg (Feb. 28, 2013) - Debbie Cadenas and Caroline Huckabay, the two leading scorers on Foxcroft School’s team, have been named to the All-Delaney Athletic Conference Division II basketball team, Athletic Director Michelle Woodruff announced Wednesday.

Debbie Cadenas

The selection by the league’s coaches marks the second year in a row that Cadenas, a senior from Middleburg, VA, was named to the first team. The speedy guard finished second on the team in scoring with a 7.8 points per game average. She also led the team in steals (3.5 spg) and assists (12).

Huckabay’s selection completed a remarkable comeback effort by the junior guard. After starting for much of her freshman year, she missed all of last season after a riding accident. The Paris, KY, resident, who is as passionate about horses as she is about hoops, broke her arm suffered in the fall and later had surgery because it did not heal correctly. Despite the injury, Huckabay was awarded the Coaches’ Award for attending practices and games and supporting her teammates through the season.

Caroline Huckaby

After rebuilding the strength in her arm through therapy, Huckabay was able to return to the court, although the arm bothered her at times this season. It didn’t stop her, however, from leading Foxcroft in scoring (8.5 ppg), 3-point field goals (11), and blocked shots (12). She also finished second in rebounding (5.5 rpg) and steals (3.0 spg), and was named the team’s Most Valuable Player by Coaches Patrick Finn and Fred McMane

Foxcroft went 7-11 on the season and reached the semifinals of the DAC postseason tournament.

Special to Viva Loudoun via Loudoun Times-Mirror
Sterling (Feb. 25, 2013) - A 13-2 run in the second quarter got the Potomac Falls High School back into it, and an 11-2 run in the fourth quarter sealed it in the Panthers 63-53 victory Feb. 23 over Millbrook in the Region II Division 4 boys basketball championship game in Sterling.

The win nets the Panthers their fourth consecutive regional crown, a fact that fills Panther coach Jeff Hawes -- the only head boys' basketball coach in school history -- with pride.

"It was my dream 16 years ago to build something the community could be proud of. It hasn't just been me -- it's been a ton of great people, players and parents and coaches," said Hawes, glancing up at the gym's banner proclaiming his program's many championships, another of which now has to be added. 

The outcome of the region title match was in doubt until the midpoint of the last quarter, when senior guard D'shawn Shorts' deep 3-pointer followed by six straight points from sophomore forward Wanya Allen gave the Panthers a lead they would not relinquish. Potomac Falls' characteristic man defense stepped up its intensity and limited the Pioneers' quality looks in the final frame.

"We knew they were going to come in here and give us all that we wanted," said Hawes of Millbrook, who earlier in the tournament upended Briar Woods in Brambleton. "Through the first three quarters we weren't playing particularly well and they had a lot to do with that."

Next up for Potomac Falls is a state quarterfinal date with Chancellor on March 2, 2:45 p.m. at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax.

Potomac Falls 63, Millbrook 53
PF: Thomas 19, Allen 18, Shorts 7, Fischetti 4, Janowski 4, Mologne 4, Orbe 4, Barton 3 
MB: Culbreath 16, Deneal 10, Brooks 6, Bruce 6, Harrell 5, Baylor 4, Trexler 4, Russell 2 
Halftime: Potomac Falls 32, Millbrook 31 
3-pointers: PF 1 (Shorts); MB 5 (Culbreath 2, Deneal 2, Harrell) 
Free throws: PF (14 of 19); MB (16 of 18)

Football: Potomac Falls to Hire Oscar Smith Assistant Jason Allen as New Head Coach

(Feb. 25, 2013) - The Loudoun County Public Schools Board is expected to approve Oscar Smith High School assistant football coach Jason Allen as Potomac Falls High School new head coach at their meeting on Tuesday night. Allen's hiring was confirmed by a Potomac Falls athletic department release Monday after Tuesday's consent agenda addendum was published on the school district's website listing Allen on the agenda.

The Panthers have scheduled a meeting for prospective football players and their families to meet the new coach on Wednesday February 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the school's library.

Allen has coached at Group AAA power Oscar Smith in Chesapeake for 10 years. It looks like he has coached just about every position on the JV and varsity level  including being the defensive coordinator.

"I am looking forward to building a successful football program at Potomac Falls High School where the Panther players will be winners for life," said Allen in a prepared statement. "Panther Territory is full of hard working athletes that are willing to pay the price for success. Through my experiences at Oscar Smith as well as my life I understand what it takes to build a successful football program. Passion, hard work, and a commitment to excellence will bring the program to an unprecedented level of success."

Potomac Falls is the second school to raid the Hampton Roads area for a new football coach as Freedom High School hired Jared Van Acker from Yorktown's Grafton High School to take over the Eagles program two weeks ago.

With Heritage High School having earlier hired Reed Prosser of Millbrook High School in Winchester to take over the Pride program that makes all three offseason head football coaching hires in Loudoun from outside of the county's 13 high schools.
