Football: Broad Run(s) to 33rd Straight Victory with 42-21 Win Over Park View

By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun Editor

Sterling (Sept. 25, 2010) - Broad Run High School showed Park View Friday night that the Spartans could score the easy way or the hard way.

In the first half Broad Run opened with a spirit-sapping 16-play, all-run 71-yard scoring drive that chewed up more than seven minutes and in the second half the Spartans opened by scoring twice on three snaps. Either way they got to the end zone the final result was a 42-21 win for Broad Run to open Dulles District play and extend the school's winning streak to 33 games.

"Offense, defense, special teams ... you put a smile on my face," first-year Broad Run coach Matt Griffis told his team after the dominating win on the road.

The game wasn't as close as the final score indicates as Broad Run (1-0, 5-0) led 42-7 in the contest before emptying their bench and Park View (0-1, 1-3) was held to just nine total yards rushing on 20 plays.

"You have to bounce back. Keep your heads up," Park View first-year coach Ferris Eways implored his players.

Both teams face tough tests on the road next Friday with Broad Run at Ashburn neighbor Briar Woods (1-0, 3-2) and Park View going to Leesburg to take on Loudoun County (0-0, 2-2).

Volleyball Notebook: Woodgrove Wins First Match in School History; Tuscarora Wins First Ever District Contest in 5-Game Thriller; Broad Run Edges Freedom and More!

(Sept. 24, 2010) - It was a wild week of volleyball in Loudoun with so many great story lines. Woodgrove High School, for starters, defeated Millbrook in five on Wednesday for the school's first ever victory.

The Wolverines almost achieved that feat the night before but it was Tuscarora taking a first as the Huskies won their first ever Dulles District match in a 5-game thriller between the county's two newest high schools.

Broad Run, which fell to Loudoun County on Tuesday, put an end to Freedom's winning streak on Thursday and claimed sole possession of the second spot in the Dulles District in a -- naturally -- five-game thriller.

Heritage, on the same day they got some ink from the WashPost, fell to Fairfax but the Pride bounced back against Oakton on Thursday. Loudoun Valley meanwhile survived two 5-game (thrillers!) to come away with wins over Langley and Robinson.

And Stone Bridge ... just keeps winning.

Volleyball: Heritage Bounces Back with Win Against Oakton

By Owen Gotimer
Heritage High School student journalist

Leesburg (Sept. 24, 2010) - Heritage High School, which suffered its first loss of the season on Tuesday against Fairfax, bounced back Thursday with a win in four games over Oakton, 25-23, 25-7, 25-27, 25-22.

Following a tough loss Tuesday night in five, the Pride (4-1 overall) came out strong Thursday in a non-district match against Oakton High School.

Game one was close with the biggest lead of the game 14-10 Heritage and the Pride came out on top, 25-23.

Momentum was won early again in game two as the Pride took a commanding 6-0 lead to start off. Oakton simply couldn't handle the hard-hitting Pride which included Lian Bernett (16 Kills, 2 blocks, 11 digs, 11 points - 1 ace), Sydney Busa (5 kills, 2 blocks, 11 digs, 10 points - 2 aces), Madeline Fowler (7 kills, 1 block, 14 digs, 2 points), Kelsey Hrebenach (10 kills, 1 block, 3 digs, 10 points - 4 aces) and Christina Kamis (7 kills, 8 digs, 4 points).

It was the best game Heritage has played all season as they cruised to 25-7 win.

Oakton suffered another 5-point deficit early in the third game, but the Cougars didn't give up. Late in the game Heritage had match point at 24-22, and looked to wrap up a 3-game sweep. The Cougars, however, finally answered Heritage's defense, with three consecutive tip shots. Oakton won game three 27-25.

Heritage's coach Carmel Kielty rallied her team together before going into game four. She told the girls to get this next game done and to play like they did in game two. The Pride took her advice and lead for all but four points in the fourth and final game, ending the match with a 25-22 win.

Stephanie Yokoyama finished with 38 assists for Heritage and had two kills, 15 digs and scored 13 points on service including five aces. Also defensively for the Pride were Dariel Montanez (7 digs) and Rachel Runyan (10 digs).

Heritage has two more non-district games this Saturday as they travel to Robinson to face the host Rams and Langley, before they take on Osbourn in their first Cedar Run District contest next week.

Kamis, one of Heritage's starting outside hitters, believed that the win against Oakton helped identify holes in the team and also recognized what they have to work on before the Osbourn game.

Both Kamis and fellow starter Kelsey Hrebenach agreed that Heritage's biggest district competition is going to be local rival and defending AAA state champion Loudoun Valley.

While defeating the reigning state champs is going to be tough for the Pride, Hrebenach and Kamis established that they have a shot at bringing home the first AAA district championship in Heritage sports history.

The Pride's Cedar Run District bid starts next Tuesday, Sept. 28th at 7 p.m., as Heritage takes on Osbourn at home.

Cross Country Notebook: Area Teams Ready for Oatlands Invitational Saturday

(Sept. 24, 2010) - The good news for area cross country runners is that they don't have to go far for one of the largest meets, not only in Virginia, but on the East Coast as the 6th Annual Oatlands Invitational Saturday outside of Leesburg will feature 90 high schools and almost 4,000 athletes.

Freedom and Tuscarora are the hosts for the massive 5K meet run on the grounds on of historic Oatlands Plantation. The course is mostly grass, with rolling hills, some wooded trails, and two creek crossings (assuming there has been enough rain of late!).

Parking is $5 per car. Directions can be found here.

The record-breaking high of 95 degrees will cool a bit to 86 degrees on race day but conditions will still be hot for the normal race conditions.

Loudoun County senior Tommy Curtin was a Top 10 finisher on the boys varsity A race last year and should challenge for a podium place Saturday.

Baseball: Release the Hounds! Loudoun's Minor League Team Unveils Name, Logo

Ashburn (Sept. 23, 2010) - Release the Hounds! VIP Baseball, the partnership bringing professional baseball to Loudoun County, unveiled the Loudoun Hounds Tuesday as the Atlantic League's newest team.

The Hounds were introduced at a press event featuring Hall of Famer and former Washington Senator slugger Harmon Killebrew, along with the usual "dignitaries" from across the region’s political and sports scenes.

According the the Hounds: The team name and logo reflects the equestrian traditions intrinsic in the history of Loudoun County and the wider region. The team introduced the name, logo and its new team website: http://www.LoudounHounds.com where you can sign up for season tickets, get the latest news or buy Hounds Gear.

"Today, I am proud to unleash the Hounds," announced Bob Farren, President and CEO of VIP Baseball.

Below you can see all the fans that played and their picks. Also, check out how (poorly!) our Experts did with Jason "Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog" Rufner going 7-1 to win the week. Carl "The Dean" Lukat of the LTM remains on top of the Experts standings (See below).

VivaLoudoun Editor


Purcellville (Sept. 23, 2010) – Loudoun Valley seniors Tanner Welsh and Scott Davidson finished 1-2 at the Cedar Run District golf tournament Wednesday at the Loudoun Golf and Country Club but Battlefield edged the Vikes for the team title.

The Bobcats, led by sisters Karishma and Khushboo Thiagaraj, shot a 297 to win the title by seven strokes over Valley which came in at 304. Battlefield had five players shoot 77 or lower on the par-72 course.

“The last three or four years, it is always close when we play Battlefield,” said Loudoun Valley coach Gary McKay whose Vikings won both Cedar Run min-tournaments to take the regular-season title.

Both Battlefield and Loudoun Valley advance to the Northwest Region tournament which will be held Oct. 4 at The Gauntlet in Fredericksburg. Also qualifying were five players from Heritage which shot 323 in the 4-team tournament.

Volleyball: Loudoun County Alone at the Top in Dulles District Standings After Storming Back Against the Spartans

Raider Juniors Katrina Kirby and Jenna Strange on the Big County Win

By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun Editor

(Sept. 22, 2010) – The Loudoun County High School volleyball team dropped the first game Tuesday night to Broad Run in a Dulles District showdown, but the Raiders, buoyed by the vocal backing of their student fans and the crisp cadence of the school’s drumline, stormed back to dominant the next three games.

The 22-25, 25-8, 25-12, 25-15 convincing victory leaves Loudoun County (6-0 in district, 8-1 overall) alone in first place as Broad Run slips to 4-1 and 4-2.

“Broad Run are big rivals. We love playing them, they are a great team,” said Loudoun County junior Jenna Strange, who had a good all-around evening with eight kills, 19 digs, 14 points, and three aces.

Last year the two teams split four intense matches with Loudoun County winning a one-game playoff to take the district’s top seed and Broad Run beating the Raiders on their home court in the district tournament finals. That pedigree accounted for the late-season atmosphere Tuesday.

“We tried to get a lot of friends to come out and help support us and the drumline was helpful in getting us pumped up,” said Strange.

The Raider drumline plays and the Raider Riot tries to keep the beat!



Loudoun County coach Jenica Matthias, who semi-joked that her team had been preparing for weeks for the match, had her girls ready for the hyper-charged setting.

“We have been practicing for a loud atmosphere for the girls to have to communicate with …whether it’s loud music, loud fans, the drumline … just the excitement of the match,” said Mathias who has led the Raiders to three consecutive AA state titles. “I think that helped tonight because they weren’t afraid and they didn’t back down.”

Golf: Par for the Course as Loudoun County, Brantley Kushner Defend Their Dulles District Titles

All About the Hardware: Loudoun County captures Dulles District regular
season and tournament golf titles for the second straight year. 
By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun Editor

Ashburn (Sept. 21, 2010) – There were no surprises at the awards podium Tuesday for the AA Dulles District golf tournament at the 1757 Club as Loudoun County captured its third straight title and Raider senior Brantley Kushner defended his individual title.

For the second straight year, however, there was a bit of a surprise in the runner-up spot as Freedom – after a 4-4 district dual campaign and fifth and third place district mini tournament finishes – claimed second to qualify for the Region II tournament which the Eagles happen to host in two weeks at the South Riding Club.

The top story, however, was all about Loudoun County for the third straight year and like last year, when the Raiders won by 18 strokes, it wasn’t close this year as County scored 311 on the tough course to finish 17 ahead of Freedom at 328.

“It’s getting to be a habit, but a good habit,” said Loudoun County coach John Laycock.

Golf Notebook: Cedar Run, Dulles and Liberty Hold District Tournaments This Week

(Sept. 21, 2010) - The prep golf regular season has already wrapped up and all 12 Loudoun high school will play in their respective district tournament this week starting today with the 9-team Dulles District tournament at the 1757 Club.

Loudoun County, unbeaten in duals and district min-tournaments, has already clinched a regional bid and is the overwhelming favorite today. The real drama will be which individuals qualify for regionals (the top six not on the Raiders and next highest scoring team will qualify) and which team will join the Raiders in the Region II tournament which will be played this year at South Riding.

On the individual side, defending champion Brantley Kushner of Loudoun County has been battling a shoulder injury and will need to hold off some strong challenges from his own team to retain the title.

The action continues Wednesday with the Cedar Run District tournament at Loudoun Valley Golf and Country Club, hosted by regular-season champion Loudoun Valley. Heritage will compete in this 4-team tournament. And Stone Bridge starts in the two-day Liberty District tournament at Herndon Centennial.

Volleyball Round-up Sept. 13-16: Heritage Knocks Off Broad Run but Spartans on Track for Dulles District Showdown at Loudoun County Tonight

(Sept. 21, 2010) - Broad Run High School was involved in two of the most interesting matches last week as the Spartans came back to beat Potomac Falls after dropping the first game but on the next night it was the Spartans unable to hold a one-game lead against Heritage.

The Pride (3-0) are quietly the only defeated team in Loudoun but have played just three contests while some teams have faced as many as nine opponents. Heritage's exciting 14-25, 25-16, 27-25, 28-26 on the road last Wednesday was even more impressive considering senior standout Emma LeMaitre is still out with a cast on her right foot. Heritage staved off game points in both the third and fourth games with the backing of a vocal student section that made the short trip from Leesburg to back their classmates.

The night before it was Broad Run doing the comeback as the Spartans downed Potomac Falls 23-25, 25-11, 25-8, 25-23 in another well-played early season match.

Despite the non-district loss to Heritage, the Spartans are still on track in the Dulles District where they are 4-0 and facing three-time defending AA state champion Loudoun County (5-0 in district) tonight in Leesburg with first place in the district on the line. Last year the two teams split in the regular season, then County won a one-game playoff for the district's top seed only to have Broad Run come back and win the district tournament title.
