Stone Bridge High School plays Phoebus at noon at UVa in Charlottesville in the Division 5 title game and Briar Woods High School plays Harrisonburg at 4:30 p.m. at Liberty University in Lynchburg in the Division 4 title game. The two schools are just four miles apart.

VivaLoudoun editor Dan Sousa and photographer Jeff Scudder are making the major road trip to cover both games on Saturday with Sousa providing a Live Play-by-Play blog on both games that can be found on VivaLoudoun's homepage Saturday.

"Find It in Ashburn!" joins another local site, The Loyal Local, in sponsoring VivaLoudoun's big title game coverage.
