Cross Country: Cedar Run, Dulles District Meets Pushed Back to Thursday

(Oct. 17, 2011) - A wet forecast for Wednesday has forced the Cedar Run and Dulles districts to push back their cross country championships a day to Thursday, Oct. 20 at Oatlands.

Tennis: Freedom Upsets Broad Run Boys for Dulles District Title; Valley Beats Stonewall for Cedar Run Title; Dulles Girls Tied at 4-4

(May 17, 2010) - The Freedom High School boys tennis team became the first area team to defeat Broad Run since 2008 as the Eagles upset the previously unbeaten Spartans in the finals of the Dulles District tournament Friday, 5-4.

Freedom wasn't the only team hoisting a championship trophy as Loudoun Valley swept doubles on Saturday against Stonewall Jackson in the continuation on the Cedar Run District title game from Friday to add the crown to their regular season banner.

The surprising Dominion girls continued their strong postseason run by tying regular season champion Loudoun County, 4-4, on Friday before weather postponed until May 19. The Raiders, however, are very close to wrapping up the title as they are up a set, leading 3-0 in the second, in the No. 1 doubles match which remains to be finished.

Basketball: Cedar Run Out of Luck for Area AAA Teams

(Feb. 22, 2010) - The Cedar Run District this season hast just five teams so one victory in the postseason basketball tournament guarantees teams a spot in the Northwest Region playoffs but an 0-3 night Saturday left Loudoun's AAA teams packing their gear.

While the road was going to be tough for Heritage High School, with the boys not even in the tournament after finishing fifth, and the No. 4 girls facing highly-ranked Stonewall Jackson, it appeared that Loudoun Valley had a good shot with the boys facing a top-seeded Battlefield team that they had beat earlier in the week, 44-20, and the No. 2 Viking girls hosting an Osbourn team that had swept this year, by eight and 18 points.

All three fell Saturday with the Heritage girls losing 67-30; Viking girls falling 56-51; and the Viking balls downed, 67-57.

Scoring By Quarters
Loudoun Valley 15 10 4 22 - 51
Osbourn 6 11 21 18 - 56

Loudoun Valley took on Osbourn High School on Saturday in the semifinals of the Cedar Run District Tournament. With a trip to the Championship game, and a birth in the regional tournament on the line, both teams battled for four quarters.

The Vikings got off to a quick start, converting on their first three possessions, while shutting down the Osbourn offense. Valley only allowed the Eagles to score from the foul line in the first quarter. The second quarter proved much of the same, with the 11 of the Eagles' 17 first half points coming from the charity stripe.

In the second half, the Vikings came out flat, turning over the ball and coming up empty on the offensive end. The Eagles took full advantage of their mistakes, outscoring the Vikes 21-4. Down by 9 going into the final frame, the Vikings rallied back with just over 4 minutes left. The game went back and forth with the lead being cut to 2. However, the Eagles proved too tough from the foul line, hitting on 14 of 19 in the fourth quarter.

The Vikings were led by Kayla Sweet's 24 points, and Chrystal Oden's 13 points and 9 rebounds.

The Vikings finish the season at 13-7 overall, and 6-3 in the district.

Volleyball Round-up: Heritage Knocks off BF in Thriller; Valley and SB Finish Unbeaten District Skeds; Freedom Over PF

On the final night of the high school volleyball regular season it was a showcase for how talented the Loudoun teams are with Heritage, securing the second seed in the Cedar Run District, with a five-game win over Battlefield, and Loudoun Valley (Cedar Run) and Stone Bridge (Liberty) both finishig their AAA district schedules unbeaten.

In AA the marquee match-up was at Broad Run where the Spartans celebrated Senior Night and the school's first district regular-season title since 1991 with a match against two-time defending state champion Loudoun County.

Football: Friday's Schedule for Loudoun Plus "The Skinny"

Football Games for Fri. Oct. 29, 2009

Loudoun Valley at Heritage, 7:30
The Skinny: In the first meeting this year between these two teams, Heritage jumped out 14-0 only to have LV fight back and take a 17-14 midway through the final quarter. The Pride then won on a 47-yard TD pass from Austin Nelson to David McCarthy with just 2:12 left. It was Austin's third TD toss of the game

Broad Run at Potomac Falls, 7:30
The Skinny: The Panthers had enough resources to beat Freedom last week but figure to have problems stopping Broad Run's quest for a third consecutive undefeated regular season. How much can T.J. Peeler add to his Metro Area leading rushing totals?

Park View at Dominion, 7:30
The Skinny: Two weeks ago it was Dominion losing a tough game to Loudoun County and Park View rolling over Potomac Falls but then last week, the Patriots fell flat against Briar Woods while the Titans pulled off one of the biggest wins in school history, a victory over AAA South Lakes. In terms of the Division 3 playoffs, Dominion needs the W more than Park View but the Pats might have to hit the road in the playoffs if they don't start winning.

Freedom at Loudoun County, 7:30
The Skinny: The Raiders are for sure beat up and bruised after a physical game on Sat. with Broad Run but LC has plenty left in the tank to take on the struggling Eagles.

Stone Bridge at McLean, 7:30
The Skinny: In the preseason, SB coach Mickey Thompson said that 2009 would be a lot like 2005 when almost every Bulldog game was a nailbiter and last week, sure enough, SB blocked a FG in the final seconds to beat Langley, 17-14. Madison's win over SB two weeks ago gives every district opponent hope so expect the Highlanders to fling everything short of Sir William Wallace at Stone Bridge Friday

Purcellville (Oct. 21, 2009) - High school volleyball doesn't get any better than the thrilling match between AAA rivals Heritage and Loudoun Valley Tuesday night. Hey, don't take our word for it ... how about Heritage coach Carmel Keilty who called it an "awesome match" and her team lost!

All the elements of great theater were present with Keilty visiting her old school, Loudoun Valley, where she had led the Vikes to state titles and it was the second "Dig Pink" breast cancer awareness fundraiser between the two schools and the host Vikings had a chance to wrap up a share of the Cedar Run District regular season title.

Add it some fantastic individual and team athletic moments and you had two-plus hours of excitement with Loudoun Valley emerging with a 25-23, 22-25, 28-26, 22-25, 15-13 win but only after winning the final three points of the evening.

Volleyball: Cedar Run District Lead on the Line Tuesday as Loudoun Valley Hosts Heritage

The Loudoun Valley High School volleyball team swept a pair of AAA Cedar Run District matches last week, over Stonewall Jackson and Battlefield, setting up a key showdown Tuesday with district rival Heritage in Purcellville.

Loudoun Valley is 5-0 in district and a win would clinch at least a tie for the regular-season title for the Vikes, who knocked off Heritage, earlier in the year. A win by the Pride would likely throw the regular-season title into a postseason special playoff.

Tuesday's match is also the secind "Dig Pink" event for the two teams, with proceeds from the fundraiser going to Breast Cancer Awareness.

The Vikes beat SJ on Oct. 13, 25-8, 25-9 and 25-13, and then swept Battlefield on Oct, 15, 25-18, 25-19 and 25-21. The two wins improves the vikings overall record to 13-4.

Ashburn (Oct. 16, 2009) - The rain Thursday night may have kept the crowd small at Stone Bridge High School -- even on turn-back-the-decade $3 admission night in honor of the school's 10-year anniversary -- but nothing could rain on the Bulldogs volleyball parade as SB swept Langley, 25-12, 25-19, 25-22, in a AAA Liberty District match.

The Bulldogs are now 13-2 and have worked their way into the Top 10 in the Washington Post rankings.

"We have a lot of attack options," said Bulldog coach Jill Raschiatore on a night where she was honored for 10 years with the school and program.

Stone Bridge set the tone by running away with the first game. In the second game, Langley was even at 15-15 but the Bulldogs pulled away for the 2-0 lead and in the third game, SB, battled a tough Saxon team down the stretch to clinch the sweep.
