Football: Loudoun County SR Brock Badman to Play at Catholic University

(March 17, 2012) - Loudoun County High School announced Friday that Brock Badman, senior football captain, has committed to continue his career at Catholic University. A 3-year letterman at LCHS, Badman overcame two ACL tears in his career, the last one shortening his senior season to seven games.

Badman was running back/outside linebacker and was averaging 6.01 yards per carry before his injury in the Homecoming game vs. Dominion. Because of his work ethic and leadership, he was selected a captain prior to the 2011 season.

Raider Athletic Director Ken Wright: "We are proud and happy for Brock and his parents, Ron and Darci Renzi."

Football: Magnificent 7! Stone Bridge Celebrates Group Moving to College Ranks

There are almost 100 photos from the celebration ... check them out!

Ashburn (Apr. 29, 2011) - The Stone Bridge High School football program threw a big celebration Wednesday to recognize seven football players from the talented Class of 2011 that are headed for the college ranks.

The seven players honored before teammates, coaches, family and friends included: Alex Mohkiber (Catholic), Kyle Gouveia (James Madison), Brian Rody (Virginia Tech), Dexter Rogers (Hampton), James Johnson (Christopher Newport), Ben Branower (McDaniel) and Marcus Harris (College of the Canyons Junior College).

Bulldog head coach Mickey Thompson had nice things to say about the players that as a group made back-to-back state title appearances. In particular he said that James Madison was getting a bargain in Gouveia, one of the top players in the state at linebacker but overlooked by larger schools because of his size. Thompson also liked the chances of Harris, one of the top running backs in the state, to be able to transition from his California junior college to a top tier 4-year program.

Rody was the Bulldogs starting quarterback and will be a preferred walk-on at Tech. Mohkiber and Johnson were key cogs on the Bulldog offensive line with Johnson expected to play D-line in college. Branower at linebacker and Rogers at DB were two reasons that the Bulldogs defense allowed only an average of six points per game while riding a 14-game winning into a title rematch with Phoebus.

Thursday's signings give Stone Bridge 11 from the Class of 2011 to play in college with early signees: Rob Burns (Virginia), John Cheritis (Washington and Lee), Calvin Hollenhorst (Coastal Carolina) and Spenser Rositano (Boston College).
