Football: Powerful Rushing Attack Leads Broad Run to 30th Straight Victory
By Carl Lukat
Loudoun Times-Mirror Sports Editor
Leesburg (Sept. 5, 2010) - Broad Run High School first-year football coach Matt Griffis challenged his offensive line to be more aggressive and to get a lower shoulder pad level in Friday's game against Heritage. That challenge was clearly accepted and delivered upon as the Spartans rushed for 461 yards and five touchdowns in a 41-19 non-district victory over the host Pride in Leesburg.
"We were coming out pretty high last week and weren't really effective at getting a good push," Griffis said of his offensive line's performance in a 21-0 victory over Fauquier Aug. 27. "This week, we were more effective with the push. We worked on the basics this week and they really stepped up on the offensive line. I was very proud of them. Our tight ends also did a great job."
The 41-19 win was the 30th consecutive victory for the two-time defending Division 4 state champion Spartans. Broad Run (2-0) last tasted defeat in the 2007 playoffs against Park View. The Spartans have now also won 32 straight regular-season contests.

Football: Stone Bridge’s Defensive Stands Tall in Season-Opening Win at Westfield
By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun.com Editor
Chantilly (Sept. 4, 2010) – The Stone Bridge High School defense opened and closed their 2010 football season-opener Friday at Westfield with a pair of big defensive stands and that was just enough to allow the Bulldogs to escape with a 7-3 victory.
“This was a big win for us against a great team,” said Stone Bridge senior running back Marcus Harris, who finished with 130 yards on 24 carries and a 52-yard kickoff return.
While the Stone Bridge offense sputtered most of the night against a hard-hitting Westfield team – the Bulldogs had two turnovers, missed two field goals and racked up 70 yards in penalties – their experienced defense, returning seven starters from last year’s Division 5 state runner-up squad, held Westfield to a field goal on their first series after they had 1st-and-goal from the 7 and on Westfield’s final series of the night the Bulldogs held after allowing the hosts to reach the Bulldog 32.
Stone Bridge coach Mickey Thompson played down the importance of the early-season game against at team that has won two Division 6 state titles in the past decade but said it was important in the terms of respect for his program and after the game he complimented his players on their toughness.
“That was real football,” said Thompson. “We showed a lot of heart tonight.”

Golf Round-up: Valley Nips Heritage by a Stroke to Keep Cedar Run District Title Hopes Alive; Broad Run and Loudoun County Each 5-0 in Dulles District Duals
(Sept. 3, 2010) - A stroke here and a stroke there and the Loudoun Valley High School golf team could have been in control of the Cedar Run District regular season title ... or just as likely the Vikings could have been put out of the chase. Instead, Valley tied rival Battlefield on Wednesday to keep the two teams essentially knotted in the standings and then on Thursday Valley survived a one-stroke dual win over Heritage.
If both Battlefield and Loudoun Valley continue to win their duals, then the regular season title will come down to the second district mini tournament on Sept. 16. Valley won the opening mini district tournament but Battlefield is 1-0-1 against the Vikes in duals. Dual records and the two mini tournaments are weighted equally one-third towards the district crown.
In the Dulles District Loudoun County and Broad Run are both 5-0 in duals and will meet next week. For the Spartans that is a spectacular turnaround from 2009 but two tough performances in the district mini tournaments won't allow BR to catch the Raiders. With four district duals left, County needs probably only one victory to clinch the title.

Purcellville (Sept. 1, 2010) - Stone Bridge High School enters the 2010 volleyball season with an impressive roster worthy of being considered among the best in the state. In their season opener Tuesday night, the Bulldogs showed off their skill set in a 25-11, 25-10 and 25-22 sweep of defending AAA state champion Loudoun Valley.
Ranked No. 1 in the latest LoCo Elite 5 -- a top five volleyball poll for Loudoun's 12 public schools voted on by the Loudoun Times-Mirror and VivaLoudoun.com -- Stone Bridge fully controlled play in the first two sets Tuesday. After the Vikings showed life in the third set and built a 19-15 lead, the Bulldogs (1-0) closed the set on a 10-3 run to complete the sweep.
Volleyball: 3-Time Defending State Champion Loudoun County Opens with Win Over Briar Woods
By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun.com Editor
Leesburg (Sept. 1, 2010) - Over the years the names and faces have changed within the Loudoun County High School volleyball program, but the winning remains as the three-time defending AA state champion Raiders opened their 2010 season Tuesday with a Dulles District sweep over Briar Woods before a large early-season crowd.
The 25-21, 25-13, 25-11 victory handed Briar Woods (1-2) its first loss of the year and despite graduating five starters in the 10-player rotating line-up including Juliane Hanna, the Virginia State Player of the Year, the Raiders put enough talent on the court to back a fifth consecutive run to the AA state title game.
After falling in the state finals in 2006 -- when the current seniors on the team were still in middle school -- the Raiders have since captured three straight state champions, running up a 82-4 record in the process.

Savage had coached for four years in the CYFL and AYFL local football leagues and then eight years at the high school level, the past four at Flint Hill in Oakton where he served at various times as quarterback coach, defensive back and speed and specialties coach.
"Leaving coaching in the fall is like cutting off my right arm, but supporting my family is like breathing," Savage told VivaLoudoun. "I need to spend time with the family, supporting my wife, kids and my surrogate kids while I they play or act. I also need to take more time with my businesses and get back in the community."
