As of Monday night more than 1,000 people had joined the "Come Together for Ryan Diviney" group on Facebook in support of the critically injured 2008 Broad Run High School graduate.
Diviney suffered brain trauma in an altercation at West Virginia University over the weekend and has undergone surgery.

The fight happened early Saturday morning at about 3:10 a.m. at the Dairy Mart on 600 Willey St. in the college town. In a news release, police said: "Witnesses advised that the fight involved 5 to 7 males attacking three males, with one of the three males (Diviney) being seriously injured."

Volleyall: Sweet 16! Stone Bridge Rolls to 16th Straight with Sweep in Regional First Round
By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun.com Editor
Ashburn (Nov. 9, 2009) - The Stone Bridge High School volleyball team, playing for the first time since all-district setter Amanda Miller broke her leg in the Liberty District finals last week, rolled to a 16th consecutive victory with a sweep of Lake Braddock in the AAA Northern Region first round.
The Bulldogs 25-11, 25-15, 25-14 victory over the Bruins improved Stone Bridge's season record to 22-2 and set up a likely quarterfinal meeting with Herndon Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in Ashburn. The Bulldogs swept the Hornets on the first day of school but that seems like a different season to SB coach Jill Raschiatore.
"It happened so long ago you can't really say you have played them," said Raschiatore.
With Miller, a junior, sitting on the bench in a cast, junior Vanessa Paige, an outside hitter for SB but a setter on her club team, stepped up and dished out 28 assists in the quick three games.
"Vanessa did a fine job. I'm sure there is a lot of pressure on her but she has played a lot of volleyball. She is used to playing with the girls and she gives us a good block at the net and a nice serve," said Raschiatore.
Junior Christine Beckham had another dominating performance with 11 kills, 15 service points, two aces, and six digs. Senior Libero Lindsay Gill had 11 digs. Freshman Ryan Ackermann had eight kills and four points.
Also for SB: sophomore Alex Heyn registered four kills and two blocks while senior Alexis Chism had two kills, two blocks, and eight service points including two aces. Junior Amy Christensen finished with four kills and eight points, including two aces as well.

Cheer: Briar Woods Wins Region II Title
A season of firsts continued for the Briar Woods High School competitive cheer team on Saturday as the Falcons captured their first ever Region II title at Orange County High School.
Briar Woods -- which won a first ever Dulles District title title this season -- finished ahead of Brentsville, Sherando and Louisa.
The Falcons will shoot for the school's first ever state title in any sport on Saturday at VCU in Richmond. In AAA Stone Bridge will be at VCU looking for a fifth state title.
Loudoun Valley and Heritage did not advance from the Northwest Region meet which was won by North Stafford. Forest Park, Battlefield and Colonial Forge also advanced.
Broad Run, Potomac Falls and Freedom did not advance from the Region II meet.

Volleyball: Broad Run Captures First Ever Dulles District Tournament Title
Leesburg (Nov. 8, 2009) - The Broad Run High School girls volleyball team earned its first ever AA Dulles District tournament title with a 20-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-15 win over two-time defending state champion Loudoun County Saturday.
It was the second time this season that the Spartans (17-6) have now beaten the Raiders (20-3) twice this season on their home floor. The two teams have split four games with LC winning twice last week to earn a co-district regular season title with BR and to clinch the district's top spot in the Region II tournament.
Loudoun County will host Millbrook on Tuesday while Broad Run travels to Sherando in the regional quarterfinals.
The last time Broad Run won a district tournament was in 1991 when the Spartans played in the Northwestern District and current coach Ellen Roberts was a player for BR.
"Our goal is to get to States," said Roberts after the win.
The Raiders, playing without injured all-district 6-footer Emily Vandegrift -- who has been out since an injury in the final practice before second LC-BR meeting on Oct. 29 -- won the first game Saturday, something the Raiders hadn't been able to do in the last two victories over the Spartans.
Just as LC rallied twice to win three straight against BR last week in a three-day span, the Spartans rallied Saturday behind the inspired blocking of senior Elisa Scudder, junior Emily Sears and Jessica Feddesen and sophomores Mallory Brickerd and Kate Sims. BR was also helped by a great setting effort from senior Carolyn Pearce who is the lone setter on the floor after BR shifted its offense a week ago from a 6-2 to a 5-1 as well as the defensive backrow led by senior libero Lizzie Deane.
"We seem like two evenly matched teams. I wouldn't be shocked to see them again this season," said LC coach Jarod Brown, who shared Coach of the Year honors with Roberts and Diane Breinig of Briar Woods.
Check back for more details from this game plus a photo gallery. Here is a video interview with the three BR seniors: Elisa Scudder (No. 15), Lizzie Dean (No. 1) and Carolyn Pearce (No. 2).

News: Loudoun Community Rallies Around Seriously Injured BR Grad Ryan Diviney
(Nov. 7, 2009) - For the second time within two weeks, prayers from Loudoun are going out to a seriously injured standout athlete now away at college. Former Broad Run baseball and football player Ryan Diviney has suffered serious head trauma this weekend in an altercation at West Virginia University.
Friends and family of the 2008 grad are praying for his recovery.
"He has had surgery for head trauma," said Broad Run baseball coach Pat Cassidy who said that while details are still emerging the severity of the injury has shaken up him and those that know the popular Diviney. "It's bad whatever it is."
A former Broad Run teammate and WVU roommate of Diviney's, Tommy Meier, who transferred this year to UVA-Wise posted this on Facebook Saturday night: "Miracles do happen! Everybody get down and say a Prayer for Ryan Diviney! Don't just say it, DO IT! He's still got a chance! John 9:3."
Two weekends ago, former Stone Bridge football and basketball player Ryan Moody was involved in a serious car accident in the Tidewater area where he attends William and Mary. Moody is continuing to recover from his injuries.
Diviney is not the first local athlete seriously hurt while attending West Virginia as a year ago former Stone Bridge High School pitcher Ty Weaver was hit by a car while walking down a sidewalk in the college town.
VivaLoudoun editor Dan Sousa: As with Ryan Moody at Stone Bridge, Ryan Diviney is somebody I enjoyed covering while at Broad Run. As a parent of a 17-year-old this news just leaves me stunned. My family sends our thoughts and prayers to the Diviney family ... we hope to have better news to report in the future.

Football: LC Senior Linebacker Trio Leads Raiders to Second Straight Playoff Berth
By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun.com Editor
Leesburg (Nov. 6, 2009) - There are so many good story lines in this prep football season in Loudoun County that not all have been told.
You have Broad Run repeating a third straight 10-0 regular season, Stone Bridge winning a fifth straight Liberty District title, Park View returning to the playoffs and Dominion threatening to clinch its first ever playoff bid. But you also have Loudoun County High School, at team that in 2007 was snapping an 18-game losing streak, returning to the Region II Division 4 playoffs for the second straight season.
Last year the Raiders were a surprise at 6-4 and they had their season ended by Broad Run in the first round. This year LC's success has not been a surprise as they have gone 7-2 and have an outside shot at a bye in the first round of the playoffs as they finish up the regular season tonight by hosting Potomac Falls at 7:30 p.m.
A huge part of the Raiders rebuilding has been the play of the senior linebacking trio of Virginia Tech-bound Chase Williams, Jake Wasko and Anthony Wiley. Williams, a starter since his freshman year, has been on everybody's radar but the group as a whole is approaching 300 combined tackles on the year and allows LC to play its 5-3 defense.
"Great kids, great students, and great players. They are the heart of our success," said defensive coordinator Cary Vipond.
The stats going into the last regular season game for the trio:
Chase Williams (105 tackles, 4 forced fumbles, 4 recovered fumbles, 1 interception, 2 sacks)
Jake Wasko (89 tackles, 3 sacks)
Anthony Wiley (94 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 2 interceptions, 1 sack)
While Wiley is out sick this week, we caught up with Williams and Wasko to interview them and we also spoke with Raider coach Todd Hill. Here are their video interviews:
