Basketball: The Skinny on Friday Night's Schedule

(Jan. 13, 2012) - Teams will be looking to finish strong before heading into their midterm break which starts after Saturday's schedule.

Boys Basketball
Woodgrove at Briar Woods, 7:30
The Skinny: Can the Falcons tame WG's Brad "Field Golazo" Gilson who dropped a Loudoun record 54 points on Park View this season? Can the Wolverines stop BW's point guard dynamo Myles Tate, who can beat you off the dribble or from NBA 3-point range? Woodgrove at 5-3 in Dulles District needs this win to stay on the heals of Potomac Falls (6-2) and Loudoun Valley (8-1). Briar Woods (6-0) needs this win to stay perfect in the district.

Freedom at Broad Run, 7:30
The Skinny: BR (2-4 in district) and Freedom (1-4) have taken their lumps thus far in the tough Cedar Run. Tonight they get to take it out on each other. Nigel Johnson is a scoring machine for the Spartans.

Dominion at Potomac Falls, 7:30
The Skinny: Park View's Ryan McCarter went for 44 against the Titans so PF's Greg Graves, with 44 and 31 (yes 31!) rebounds against Park View, could really do some damage tonight in the Panther Pit.

Heritage at Park View, 7:30
The Skinny: Big game in the middle of the standings as one of these two teams will climb to 5-5 in Dulles and the other drops to 4-6. McCarter is the key. Pride have proven they can play with any team in Dulles.

Loudoun County at Loudoun Valley, 7:30
The Skinny: There was a time when this was THE rivalry in the county but things have cooled a bit with the new schools opening in Leesburg and Purcellville. Valley's zone defense will look to clamp down on Raider Michael Anderson. LC must stop the Yox ... John Yoxthimer.

TJ at Stone Bridge, 7:30
The Skinny: A battle of teams 1-4 in the Liberty ... look for Bulldogs to bust out a 20-point plus victory ... yes, you read that here first!

Girls Basketball
Briar Woods at Woodgrove, 7:30
The Skinny: Woodgrove has proved a solid No. 2 to LC thus far in the Dulles at 8-1. Briar Woods is at .500 (4-4). Wolverines like to push the pace.

Freedom at Broad Run, 6
The Skinny: Freedom isn't used to its 5-11 mark but has had a tough schedule so expect them to run away in this opener of the DH.

Potomac Falls at Dominion, 7:30
The Skinny: Dominion at 2-7 in Dulles can move into a tie with neighbor Potomac Falls (3-7). Both teams have been playing games closer than their marks indicate.

Park View at Heritage, 7:30
The Skinny: Is Park View's recent string of wins for real? We find out more tonight against a Pride team that has struggled a bit in the new year.

Loudoun Valley at Loudoun County, 7:30
The Skinny: County will have no problem emptying its bench against the winless Vikes.

Stone Bridge at TJ, 7:30
The Skinny: The top of the Liberty is a bruising battle so expect a Stone Bridge team, licking its wounds at 3-2 in district, to take out its frustrations on a TJ with just two wins on the season and none in district.

Wednesday, January 4, 2012

Basketball: The Skinny on Wednesday Night's Schedule

(Jan.4, 2012) - The Dulles District is back in full swing with its first full slate of 2012:

Wed. Jan. 4
Boys Basketball
Heritage at Briar Woods, 7:30
The Skinny: Pride at 3-4 in district face Dulles' last unbeaten team in league play as the Falcons are 3-0. Myles Tate could be the next player to break the 40-point mark this season.

Dominion at Loudoun County, 7:30
The Skinny: Ryan McCarter struck for 44 against the Titans in Park View's win so Raider Michael Anderson, who had 43 this season, could have a big night. Titans are 1-4 in Dulles, Raiders 3-3.

Loudoun Valley at Sherando, 7:30
The Skinny: Vikings on the road for non-district contest.

Woodgrove at Park View, 7:30
The Skinny: This is a fun match-up with McCarter of PV facing Woodgrove's Brad Gilson - both high-scoring seniors. Wolverines are 3-2 in Dulles, Pats are 3-3. Woodgrove did play Tuesday so could be back into the swing of things early but will also have some tired legs late.

Potomac Falls at Tuscarora, 7:15
The Skinny: Shhh. Don't look now but the Panthers at 3-2 in Dulles, start 2012 with a real good feeling. Huskies are 0-5 and looking for first ever Dulles win in school history.

Girls Basketball
Briar Woods at Heritage, 7:30
The Skinny: Falcons are 3-3 in district and looking to hand onto the fourth spot in district against third place Pride at 5-2.

Loudoun County at Dominion, 7:30
The Skinny: Raiders are 6-0 in district and tied for first with Woodgrove. Titans are an improving squad at 2-4.

Loudoun Valley at Sherando, 6
The Skinny: Vikes on road in non-district game.

Park View at Woodgrove, 7:30
The Skinny: Pats at 1-5 in Dulles face tough game in Purcellville with 6-0

Tuscarora at Potomac Falls, 7:15
The Skinny: Huskies are 3-3 in district and face a Panthers team that at 2-4 that looks to start a 2012 charge.

Volleyball: Tonight's Skinny - Broad Run and Freedom Tangle in Ashburn with Cedar Run District Title on the Line; County Can Clinch Dulles Title

(Oct. 25, 2011) - The final week of the high school girls volleyball season gets in full swing tonight with district implications across the board. At Broad Run High School, the Spartans can clinch a share of the Cedar Run District title with a win over second-place Freedom. A win by the Eagles would knot the race with just one game remaining.

In the Dulles District, Loudoun County has already clinched at least a share of the regular-season title and the Raiders can win it outright with a victory on the road at Dominion.

In the Liberty District, both Stone Bridge, at TJ, and Langley, hosting Fairfax, look to remain perfect in advance of Thursday's showdown in Ashburn.

Tuesday Night Schedule
Dulles District
Briar Woods (10-4 in district) at Heritage (13-2)
The Skinny: Heritage can clinch second place with a win tonight. Briar Woods is two back of the Pride and two ahead of Potomac Falls. This is a potential semifinal match-up in the district tournament.

Loudoun County (14-0) at Dominion (4-10)
The Skinny: Titans have back-to-back wins to move into a tie for 6th but the Raiders are on another mission to wrap up the district title.

Park View (0-14) at Woodgrove (3-11)
The Skinny: The Patriots will not make the district tournament but can make their season with a win tonight in Purcellville. The Wolverines want to move out of the No. 8 spot prior to the postseason or else face a potential district quarterfinal match at Loudoun County

Tuscarora (4-10) at Potomac Falls (8-6)
The Skinny: The Panthers roll into this match after beating Valley on Monday. That win puts PFalls just ahead of the Vikes in a quest to earn homecourt advantage in the district quarterfinals. The Huskies can finish anywhere from No. 6 to No. 8.


Cedar Run District
Freedom (7-1 in district) at Broad Run (8-0)
The Skinny: The Spartans have quietly been one of the bigger stories this season with only one loss -- a non-district contest to South County -- since dropping the season-opener to Stone Bridge. A win tonight would clinch at least a share of the district regular-season title for BR. Freedom can throw the race into a dead heat with a win tonight.

Patriot (0-8) at Battlefield (5-3)
The Skinny: First-year Patriot is looking for its first district win but don't expect "Big Sister" Battlefield to provide it.

Stonewall Jackson (2-6) at Osbourn (2-6)
The Skinny:  Winner moves into fourth place in this match-up of Manassas schools.


Liberty District
Stone Bridge (5-0 in district) at TJ (1-4)
The Skinny: Bulldogs have won 10 straight and are ranked No. 1 in the Northern Region. TJ has dropped five straight after a good non-district run.

Fairfax (3-2) at Langley (5-0)
The Skinny: Langley shouldn't overlook a Rebel team that has done well this season.

Madison (1-4) at South Lakes (2-3)
The Skinny: Is South Lakes for real ... a win tonight would cement the Seahawks regional hopes.

McLean (3-2) at Marshall (0-5)
The Skinny: Highlanders should cruise against a Marshal team that has just two wins on year.

Football: The Skinny for Tonight's Games

A look at tonight's football games.

Follow our coverage on Twitter at www.twitter.com/vivaloudoun and send us updates from your games (@vivaloudoun).

Dulles District
Heritage (4-0, 5-1) at Briar Woods (5-0, 5-1)

The Skinny: Battle for first place in Dulles District. Briar Woods has out-scored opponents by one million points since a season-opening loss to Broad Run ... OK, something close to that. Basically, it is easier to get into the CIA headquarters than it is the Falcons end zone. Heritage's Austin Nelson is one of the top rated quarterbacks in the D.C. area. The Pride have averaged 36 points a game but have also allowed almost 27 points per game. Give the advantage to the defending state champs BWoods on Homecoming in Brambleton.


Loudoun Valley (1-3, 2-4) at Potomac Falls (1-3, 1-5)
The Skinny: This is a tricky game to call as the Panthers have struggled since the start of last season but recently their efforts have been much-improved on the field, battling Heritage to the end and giving Tuscarora a good contest. Valley also battled Heritage to the end. On a muddy field, look for turnovers to be the key -- the team that makes the most will lose this one.


Park View (2-3, 2-5) at Tuscarora (3-1, 5-1) 
The Skinny: The Patriots come to Leesburg with plenty of offense recently but Park View must stop the Huskies on defense if they want to pull of what would be considered an upset on the road. Look for Tuscarora to eat up the clock with its ground game and try to wear down the Pats who have a lot of players going both ways.


Dominion (0-5, 0-6) at Loudoun County (3-1, 5-1)
The Skinny: This game has been moved to noon on Saturday due to wet field conditions at County. The Titans are averaging just 7.2 points per game and will find the going tough against a hard-nosed Raider defense. Look for County's special teams to make some special plays Saturday.


Cedar Run District
Osbourn (1-0, 5-2) at Broad Run (0-0, 5-1)
The Skinny: Wow, what a way for the Spartans to make their Cedar Run debut against an Osbourn team that has been a state contender in AAA the last couple of years and just last week the Eagles knocked off Battlefield, 28-21. The only thing standing between the Spartans and a perfect season is a forgettable second half at Stone Bridge when they lost a 24-point lead. Broad Run has Battlefield coming to town next week so the Spartans want to take care of business tonight. If the Eagles give Connor Jessop time to throw, it will be a long bus ride back to Manassas but if they can pressure the SR quarterback, then Broad Run will have its hands full.


Freedom (0-1, 1-5) at Battlefield (1-1, 5-2)
The Skinny: The Bobcats will be licking their wounds after last week's loss to Osbourn and figure to take it out on Freedom. Another tough night for the South Riding crew.


Liberty District
Marshall (0-3, 1-5) at Stone Bridge (3-0, 5-1)
The Skinny: This is how you schedule a Homecoming game ... pick an opponent averaging 12 points a game and then put one of the top defenses in the Northern Region on the field against them. Look for junior sack-meister Jonathan Allen to ring up as many QB takedowns tonight as he wishes. The Bulldog starters should be practicing their dance moves on the sidelines by the third quarter in this runaway.

Volleyball: "The Skinny" - Heritage's Keilty Reaches Milestone Win No. 350 and Keeps on Going! Loudoun County Alone Atop Dulles District; All the Sept. 13 and Sept. 15 Action

350 And Counting!
Heritage Coach Carmel Keilty!


(Sept. 16, 2011) - 350 ... 351 ... 352 ... the career wins for Heritage High School coach Carmel Keilty keep adding up as her Pride squad improved to 10-1 on the season with wins this week over Potomac Falls and Loudoun Valley.

Prior to the Potomac Falls match Tuesday, Keilty, the 22-year veteran and only coach at Heritage since the school opened in 2002, was honored on the court for having reached career win No. 350.

Loudoun County remained the area's only unbeaten team at 7-0 as the Raiders knocked off Briar Woods Thursday in a match-up of two teams 5-0 in the Dulles District.

Broad Run and Stone Bridge keep winning against non-district opponents in AAA and Potomac Falls scored a five-set win against Freedom on Thursday. Also on Thursday, Dominion earned its first Dulles win of the season. Here is The Skinny for the week:

Baseball: Friday Night Skinny

Friday, April 15 Skinny
Baseball
Freedom 6, Tuscarora 3
The Skinny: Eagles report that a big 2-out rally in the 6th-inning enabled them to win 6-3 at Tuscarora Friday night and improve their record to 8-4 overall (6-3 in Dulles District play), going into the break.

Freedom trailed 2-0 in the 5th when junior outfielder Matt Malacane (1-4, 2B, 2RBI, 1R) hit a sacrifice fly, scoring junior Joey Plesce (2-4, 2B, 2R) to cut the deficit to 2-1. Then, with 2-outs and nobody on in the 6th, the Eagles rallied to take the lead. First, it was Malacane again driving in the hot-hitting Plesce with an RBI double to deep left, tying it 2-2. Next, after catcher Dylan Teal (1-3, 1R) was intentionally walked, sophomore Zach Newell (3-4, 2B, 3RBI, 1R) delivered a 2RBI double to right-center to give the Eagles the lead 4-2. Newell then scored from 2nd on a throwing miscue on junior Dylan Chapman's grounder. 


 After Tuscarora manufactured a run in the 6th, Freedom used a single by junior Garret Schneider and another RBI hit by Newell, scoring freshman Kyle Wrighte, to close out the scoring 6-3. Sophomore DH Kevin Dean also had a big night at the plate for the Eagles, going 3-4 with 3 singles. 

Freedom senior starter Brad Baker pitched 5+ strong innings, struck out 4, and allowed only 3 runs (2 earned) to get his 3rd victory of the season. Newell got the last 6 outs, striking out 3 hitters in earning the save.

Huskies report that:
The Huskies seemed on their way to victory over Freedom High School Friday night when a two out rally in the sixth inning gave the Eagles the lead and Tuscarora took the loss, 6-3.

T
he evening began more auspiciously for the Huskies as catcher Hunter Oke, who sparked the Tuscarora offense all night, walked and courtesy runner Ryan Wilson stole second. Left fielder Eddie Lang moved Wilson to third with a sacrifice bunt and right fielder Brady Kaplan drove him in with a single to right to put Tuscarora up 1-0.

 The Huskies increased their lead to 2-0 in the fourth when Oke again led off the inning with a single to right and runner Wilson stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and crossed the plate on Lang’s groundout to short. Tuscarora starting pitcher Tyler Dietrich, with the help of some sparkling defensive plays, held the tough Freedom squad scoreless through four innings, but gave up a run on two hits in the top of the fifth.

The wheels came off in the sixth, though, when with two outs the Eagles scored four runs to go ahead 5-2. The Huskies pulled within two in the bottom of the inning when Oke again walked and runner Wilson made his way around the diamond on an infield hit and an error and stole home. Freedom scored once more in the top of the seventh to increase the lead to the final score of 6-3. nbsp;

Despite the tough loss, the Huskies’ bats showed more life as several Tuscarora players in addition to Oke contributed to the attack, including centerfielder Dalton Scanlon (1 for 4 with a single); second baseman Travis Burke (2 for 3 with a sacrifice); shortstop Bernie Mayflower (1 for 3 with a single and a walk); and right fielder Kaplan (1 for 3 with a single.) Following the spring break the Huskies will look to bloom with the warmer temperature when they return to the field to face James Wood High School on 26 April.



Loudoun County 6, Briar Woods 1
The Skinny: Raiders report that they headed to Briar Woods Friday night seeking to avenge their first loss of the season. The spring winds swirled around the stadium but the senior laden outfield managed to play error free, and the Raiders took advantage of those winds, producing a 6-1 victory over the Falcons. Varsity Baseball improves to 6-5 overall and 3-5 in the Dulles District going into Spring break.

Senior Taylor Cokeley got back into form, pitching a complete game, facing only 21 batters, and limiting Briar Woods to 3 hits. He only walked one and struck out four. The lone Falcon run came in the first inning after a lead -off triple and sacrifice fly brought the runner in.

Nick Fischer and Kris Pratt both led the batting attack with 3 hits each (1 double and 2 singles each!) and reaching base all four times at bat. Tyler Saleck added a double and a single and reached base 3 out of 4 times. Matt Slack added an RBI single as did Collin Dillon.


No games for Varsity Baseball over Spring Break, and they will prepare for the 2nd half of the season. The next game will be Tuesday, April 26th, at home against Park View High School.

Stone Bridge 14, Thomas Jefferson 1 (5)
The Skinny: Bulldogs report that they hosted Thomas Jefferson Friday night in a Liberty District contest. It was the second meeting of the two teams, with the Bulldogs coming out on top in the first game with a 14-0 win. This game was again dominated by the Bulldogs, who pitched and hit their way to a 14-1 win in a five inning game shortened by the mercy rule.

Junior righthander Tyler Mocabee continued his stellar pitching by throwing three hitless innings, while striking out two and allowing no walks. Junior lefty Andrew Robertson, making his 2011 varsity debut, relieved Mocabee and pitched the fourth inning, showing good poise and control. The other junior lefthander, Alex Logan, pitched an impressive fifth inning, retiring the side on just eleven pitches.

The Bulldogs offense was held scoreless in the first inning by TJ starter Daniel Hothem, but erupted for eleven runs in the second inning. Third baseman Ryan Johnston got it started with a one out home run to left field. That opened the floodgates, and before they were finished, the Bulldogs had sent sixteen hitters to the plate and pounded out eight hits, including four for extra base hits. Senior catcher Colin Karafa smashed a two-run double to the left field fence. Senior Conor Donovan drove in Karafa with a single, and scored himself on a double by Spencer Rositano. The Bulldogs weren't finished though, and got RBI hits from Ty Lighton, Josh Kuzbel, and Sid Harvey before the inning ended. The Stone Bridge added their final three runs in the next inning on another Johnston home run to left center field, giving him two home runs and four RBI's on the night. Johnston is the first Bulldog to have multiple homeruns in one game in the history of the baseball program.

The win went to Mocabee, his second of the season. The Bulldogs record now stands at 6-1 as they prepare to play in the Let's Play Two tournament against some of the other Northern Region powerhouses during Spring Break.
