News: Petition Protesting the Freeze of $34 Million Owed to Loudoun In Education Funds
From VivaLoudoun editor Dan Sousa: Loudoun supports the rest of the state in our "good times" with an unequal educational funding formula and now when the economy has hit here hard, Richmond would like to suspend the rules for a year, thus costing Loudoun some $34 million in funds owed. For high school sports fans, if that money does not arrive from Richmond, expect some deep cuts in education funding which will certainly impact athletics.
To sign this petition, go to this link:
To: Office of the Governor, Patrick Henry Building, 3rd Floor 1111 East Broad Street Richmond, Virginia 23219
Dear Honorable Governor McDonnell: This is in reference to FY11 fiscal budget proposal that the Local Composite Index (LCI) biennial adjustment be frozen for the 2011 fiscal year budget. This year the LCI adjustment, if not frozen, would help Loudoun County at a time when we have the largest growing student population in the Commonwealth. Loudoun School’s will see an increased enrollment of 3,351 students. Yet, if the LCI is frozen then Virginia Beach becomes the top recipient by getting an additional $14,803,612 at a time when their school system will see a reduction of 524 students. Northern Virginians collectively will lose $122,400,000 in state funding, while adding 10,263 new students. At the same time, school divisions benefiting under the proposed freeze will receive an additional $114,000,000 while collectively educating a projected 2,300 fewer students. This arbitrary freeze will mean a loss to Loudoun County of $34,356,421!
Could you please kindly look into this matter and help the 300,000 residents of the Loudoun County? Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Boys Basketball: Dulles District Showdown! Potomac Falls and Broad Run Meet Tonight in Ashburn
(Jan. 29, 2010) - The top two Dulles District boys basketball teams and two of the top teams in the state in AA, Potomac Falls and Broad Run, meet tonight in a showdown of one-loss teams in Ashburn.
Potomac Falls (8-0, 15-1) is ranked No. 2 by the Associated Press in the state and Broad Run (6-1, 16-1) is ranked No. 3. The Spartans only loss was a buzzer beater loss at Potomac Falls in December as PF junior Zack Curran fired off a 3-pointer from the corner with less than a second left. The Panthers only loss came to Loudoun Valley the day after a draining triple overtime, 111-108, win over Stone Bridge.
What You Need to Know About Tonight:
Potomac Falls (8-0 in Dulles District, 15-1) at Broad Run (6-1. 16-1), 7:30 p.m.
AP Rankings in AA for the state: PF No. 2, BR No. 3
Can't Make the Game: Verizon FiOS will televise the game next week on delay, Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. and Thursday at 2 p.m. and then the game will be in the On Demand section of your local Verizon FiOS service.
Potomac Falls in Sterling opened in 1997 drawing part of its student body from Broad Run (which opened in 1969) in Ashburn. There has been a healthy rivalry ever since.
Potomac Falls coach: Jeff Hawes ... 13th year, only coach PF has ever had! Panthers were very young last year and started the year 9-2 but struggled at the end, dropping four straight to finish with four straight losses, including quarterfinal losses in the district and regions to end the year, 14-10. Panthers always contend for district titles!
Broad Run: Second-year coach John Costello, who was previously the freshman boys coach and a decade earlier was a varsity assistant, has been on a roll. The Spartans started 11-1 last season and finished 20-6 including a title in the Dulles District tournament but fell in regional semifinals. Costello took over a program that went 7-15 the previous season.
Last Meetings
Dec. 18, 2009 - Potomac Falls 66, Broad Run 63 - Zack Curran's buzzer beater was the difference as Panthers created turnovers in closing minutes for comeback win

More from Costello: "I cannot remember a time when both teams were this highly ranked in the State (No. 2 and No. 3). I could not be any happier for the kids, it is what high school basketball is all about. I am also very proud of my kids in that since our defeat to Potomac Falls 10 games ago at the buzzer, which was very disappointing, they did exactly what you are supposed to do after such a tough loss: Get back in the gym and work harder and get better and better everyday to avoid it from happening again."

On the Sidelines with Dan Sousa - Rooting for Another Ali vs. Frazier Match-up or Better Yet Ali vs. Foreman!
An occasional column by VivaLoudoun editor Dan Sousa
(Jan. 29, 2010) - When I think of the Freedom vs. Loudoun County girls basketball rivalry and riveting recent series I quite naturally think of the Bakersfield, Calif. Hort Elementary School PTA Haunted House of 1974 and of course the famous Ali vs. Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" and then again that rusty nail that cut my arm and that Tetanus shot that I really didn't want to get.
Wait! I'm not saying that watching the Eagles and Raiders -- both VHSL state champions last season which is quite mind-boggling -- is a pain ... far from it. It just reminds me of great rivalries that make sports the drama and pleasure that it is.
Dan: please be kind and rewind (does anybody still know what that means!) and what in the world do a PTA Haunted House have to do with basketball in Loudoun!?!
Sorry ... lets go back to almost the start ... great rivalries. I was 11 in 1974 and Oct. 30 was the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" between boxing legends Muhammad Ali and George Foreman (way before he was pitching grills and just plain grilling all comers in the ring). That was the day before Halloween and we were finishing my elementary school's Haunted House (scary!).
Ray Maples my sixth grade teacher and coach in every sport -- this guy was the Amos Alonzo Stagg for elementary school kids in an era when we had after school sports teams in fourth, fifth and sixth grade -- had the radio on to listen to the fight and it was dramatic ... not even the rusty nail could take my attention away from the fight and my shot would have to wait until after Ali's incredible knockout.
And that is what sports is all about to me, just great drama and unscripted events that you not only can't predict but get the joy of watching unfold.
(Jan. 29, 2010) - When I think of the Freedom vs. Loudoun County girls basketball rivalry and riveting recent series I quite naturally think of the Bakersfield, Calif. Hort Elementary School PTA Haunted House of 1974 and of course the famous Ali vs. Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" and then again that rusty nail that cut my arm and that Tetanus shot that I really didn't want to get.
Wait! I'm not saying that watching the Eagles and Raiders -- both VHSL state champions last season which is quite mind-boggling -- is a pain ... far from it. It just reminds me of great rivalries that make sports the drama and pleasure that it is.
Dan: please be kind and rewind (does anybody still know what that means!) and what in the world do a PTA Haunted House have to do with basketball in Loudoun!?!
Sorry ... lets go back to almost the start ... great rivalries. I was 11 in 1974 and Oct. 30 was the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" between boxing legends Muhammad Ali and George Foreman (way before he was pitching grills and just plain grilling all comers in the ring). That was the day before Halloween and we were finishing my elementary school's Haunted House (scary!).

Heritage at Battlefield PPD
The Skinny: This game was PPD because of weather conditions in Prince William and will be made up on Feb. 8 -- the SB vs. Heritage game, already a make-up on that night (!) may not be rescheduled.
Loudoun County 55, Freedom 41
The Skinny: This boys game may have been the warm-up to the big girls game but it was entertaining with Calle Brown scoring 15 points with 10 rebounds, five blocks and a dunk. Worth Mays also scored 16 for LC.
