Football: Stone Bridge Gets Revenge on Chantilly with Dominating 24-8 Win

By Dan Sousa
Viva Loudoun Editor
Ashburn (Sept. 10, 2012) - The Stone Bridge High School football team doesn't lose very often so they take those rare defeats personally. Last year the Bulldogs let a game at Chantilly get away in the second half and they lost 22-14 to the Chargers. On Friday Stone Bridge got their revenge with a dominating 24-8 non-district win over Chantilly.

Senior Rassaun Goldring (153 yards on 10 carries) and junior Sterling Dailey (81 yards on 8 carries) combined for 234 of Stone Bridge's 348 yards on the ground and senior Alabama commit Jon Allen led a stifling Stone Bridge defense that forced three turnovers and held Chantilly to just 14 total yards in the first quarter and 50 yards in the first half.

"I thought we played lights out," said Stone Bridge coach Mickey Thompson. "I thought tonight was one of our better efforts in a few years. Every guy came in and played like a man."

Girls Soccer: Stone Bridge Season Ends in Storm of Second-Half Goals, Weather Delay

Ashburn (May 30, 2011) - After a magical run in 2010 to the AAA VHSL girls soccer state title, Stone Bridge High School had its season end Friday night in a storm of second-half goals by Chantilly and then a lightning delay that extended long enough to make the Chargers an official 3-1 winner with still 16 minutes yet to play in the AAA Northern Region quarterfinal.

The Bulldogs (13-4-1) led the Chargers (10-4-2), 1-0, at the half after a wind-aided goal by junior Erin Leonard with 90 seconds to go in the first half. Chantilly, playing with the stiff wind at its back in the second half, controlled the pace of play and struck three times, including twice in a 3-minute span, as the skies were turning ominous.

Sure enough, just five minutes after Chantilly had gone up 3-1 in the 59th minute, the players and fans were chased off the fields by lightning. Almost two hours later, while play was resuming at other sites across the region the remnants of the storm could still be seen north of Stone Bridge in the form of lightning flashes and at 9 p.m. the game was called, ending Stone Bridge's season.

Gymnastics: Stone Bridge Makes States with Regional Runner-up Finish; Severin and Grywatch Lead Bulldogs with Strong All-Around Performances

 Stone Bridge Gymnastics: Next Stop States! 

(Feb. 11, 2011) - After coming tantalizingly close the past two years to making the VHSL AAA state gymnastics tournament -- missing each time by less than a point -- Stone Bridge High School vaulted to the big show for the first time in school history with a runner-up finish Thursday night at the Northern Region meet.

The Bulldogs scored a season-best 143.375 to secure the second and final spot to States behind regional champion Chantilly (144.575).

Senior Tori Severin, scoring her best All-Around score of the year by almost two full points, led the Bulldogs and qualified for States in the individual All-Around with a third place finish of 37.050.

"It was very emotional and exciting to place second as a team, especialy because it is my senior year," said Severin. "I am so proud of the whole team! We worked so hard for it, and it paid off."

Bulldog sophomore Tricia Grywatch, like Severin, turning in her best All-Around performance of the year, scored 36.150 for a sixth place overall finish.

Severin was second on the beam at 9.725 and sixth on the bars at 9.075. Grywatch tied for seventh on the Vault at 9.200 and tied for eighth on the floor at 9.275.

It was on the floor where the Bulldogs secured their first ever team trip to States as Shelby Keye took fourth with a 9.400 and Amy Fissmer was fifth at 9.350 to give Stone Bridge three athletes on the awards podium for the event. Stone Bridge out-scored third place Washington-Lee by a full 2.525 on the floor, more than enough to leave the Generals 1.200 behind Stone Bridge in the final standings.

Volleyball: Different Jersey, Same Result for Stone Bridge

Ashburn (Oct. 20, 2010) - The Stone Bridge High School volleyball team donned pink jerseys for their home match against Chantilly Tuesday as part of a Dig Pink event that raised awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer.

Though the jerseys were different than their normal blue color scheme, the Bulldogs delivered a performance on the court that has become standard this season.

Stone Bridge overcame a strong challenge from Chantilly in each set to sweep the visiting Chargers 25-19, 25-18 and 25-23. The Bulldogs (16-1) closed the third set on a 10-5 run to erase an 18-15 deficit and complete their 13th sweep of the season.

"I was happy to walk away with a win," Stone Bridge coach Jill Raschiatore said. "It's always kind of crazy when it's Dig Pink day. It's very important that we recognize something bigger than ourselves and it's a great cause. But I worry sometimes that we lose focus. The girls didn't lose focus tonight, Chantilly just did a great job of mixing things up."

Sophomore outside hitter Ryan Ackermann led the Bulldogs' attack with 18 kills. Ackermann added eight digs and six service points. Senior outside hitter Christine Beckham slammed seven kills, served up four aces and made two blocks. Raschiatore credited the 6-foot, 2-inch Beckham for doing a "great job" defensively.

Senior libero Amy Christensen scooped up 14 digs, while senior setter Amanda Miller dished out 27 assists and added 10 digs. Miller, along with senior Vanessa Paige and sophomore Mariah Brantley each recorded eight service points. Paige also produced five kills and two blocks at the net. Sophomore Haley McClure slammed three kills and junior Chandi Chudasama had two kills.

Stone Bridge hosts an upstart Freedom squad on Oct. 20 before concluding its regular season with a pair of AAA Liberty District matches next week -- home against Madison on Oct. 26 and at Langley on Oct. 28. The Bulldogs, currently 5-0 in district play, can wrap up the Liberty's regular-season championship by winning both district matches.

"I'm worried about turning around and having to play Freedom tomorrow night. That is always scary coming off of a big match," Raschiatore said.

"Then, we have two district matches that are always tough. I know it is going to be Langley's senior night and they are going to be excited to play us. They are usually one of our better competitors. The season is going well but we do need to continue to improve and make sure we are peaking at the end."
