Football: Dominion's Coleman to Play at Bridgewater

(July 25, 2011) - Dominion High School defensive back Sammy Coleman, who graduated in June, will play this fall at NCAA Division III Bridgewater College.

Coleman, named first team All-Dulles District, helped the Titans to the school's first ever playoff appearance in 2010.

"I love the Bridgewater community and the campus is beautiful. I especially like how they deal with the football program, it is family-oriented and they have a great coaching staff. It is perfect for me," said Coleman, who is looking at studying biology with an eye towards zoology or environmental studies.

He joins recent Potomac Falls graduate Nick Fernandez at Bridgewater, a school of 1,550 students that was founded in 1880. Also on the Bridgewater roster are Dominion grad Victor Williams, Stone Bridge grad JaRon Moody, Park View grad Daryus Beale and Loudoun Valley grad John Brilliant.

"I know Victor real well and hopefully I can learn from him," said Coleman, who like Williams, expects to compete at the safety spot in college.

The Eagles play in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, where they went 4-2 last year and were 8-2 overall.
