VivaLoudoun Editor
Sterling (Jan. 10, 2011) - Kimberlin Ewen, with a 9.8 on the beam, scored 37.5 to capture the All-Around Saturday and help Broad Run High School take second to Great Bridge in the Red Division of the Glory Days Grill Invitational at Park View High School.
First-year Woodgrove took first in the Blue Division of one of the longest-running high school gymnastic meets in Virginia -- as all 12 Loudoun high schools participated in the 31st edition of the meet.
For Ewen, it was fortunate that her squad's turn on the vault came in the final rotation of the day as she turned her ankle while scoring 9.15 and had to make six trips to the podium on crutches -- to collect first for the beam and floor (6.5), third on the bars (8.95), fifth on the fault, the All-Around award and then to help the Spartans collect the runner-up trophy as they scored 105.525 to Great Bridge's 107.825 in the meet that scored the top three from each team in each event.
Loudoun County's Jessica Drews, who tied for second on the beam at 9.5, took third in the All-Around for the Red with 35.425. Broad Run Kerry Stolcenberg -- who medaled in three events with a first on the bars (9.0), fourth on vault (9.2), and runner-up on floor (9.55) was fourth at 35.4 and Loudoun Valley's Jessica Bramhall, fourth on beam (9.275), was fifth at 34.525.
Stone Bridge, without standout Tori Severin who injured her back earlier in the week but is expected back later this month, was third with 101.8 followed by Loudoun County at 100.525.
For new program Woodgrove -- which benefited with some strong performers moving over from the Loudoun Valley team -- it was a 1-2-3 sweep in the All-Around to power the first place finish as Michaela Paschal (34.05), Amanda Huebner (33.95), and Olivia Becker (32.65) all were at the top of the podium.
Woodgrove's Madison Kenney and Michaela Paschal
Woodgrove scored 100.65 with Briar Woods, led by Marina Kiseleva's fourth in the All-Around at 32.275, runner-up at 89.35.
Woodgrove coach Krystle Jacobs
Paschal was first on beam at 8.75, tied for first with Dominion's Alexa Giovanis on bars at 8.325, was runner-up on floor to teammate Huebner at 8.925. Heubner scored 9.425 on the floor to win, was runner-up on the vault (8.45) to Briar Woods' Kathryn Davidson (8.55), and was third on the bars at 8.25.
Becker placed fourth on the bars (8.225) and fifth on the beam (8.00) while taking third on the floor (8.475).
Tuscarora's Kaylie Etheridge was third on the beam (8.35) while Kiseleva took fourth (8.15).

Girls Basketball: Heritage Has Milestone Night in Win Over Loudoun Valley
By Owen Gotimer
Heritage High School student journalist
Leesburg (Jan. 8, 2011) - History was broken Friday night at Heritage High School, as the Prides's girls varsity basketball team beat Loudoun Valley for the first time since the school opened in 2002.
With the 58-41 victory, the Heritage girls improved to 7-5 (1-1 in the Cedar Run). Not only was the win the first time the Pride had beaten the Vikings, but Heritage climbed over the 6-win mark for the first time since the 2005-06 season when the Pride were 13-11.
The Pride came out a little bit shaky early on in the game, but settled down after the first couple minutes. Valley on the other hand never really got comfortable in the entire first half, and Heritage went into the second quarter up 10-7. Valley (4-9 overall) had been 2-0 in district coming into the contest.
Probably the best quarter for Heritage ever, the Pride dominated the Vikings in every offensive and defensive category (Heritage second quarter totals: 11 steals, 11 of 19 from the field, 5 assists, 7 rebounds, 6 deflections, 2 for 2 from the foul line). Meanwhile, Valley took a mere four shots in the entire quarter as Heritage ran out to huge 34-11 halftime lead.
Continuing to play solid, pressure defense and fundamental offense the Pride went into the final quarter up 27.
Valley overcame a 21-4 deficit earlier this week against Cedar Run opponent Battlefield, and the fourth quarter, like in Tuesday night’s game, was Valley’s high point. Viking senior Kelsey Luck hit three shots from distance, but the Vikings never got within 15 points, as Heritage got the victory 58-41.
The Pride were led offensively by freshman guard Kayla Tibbs (20 points, 5 rebounds, 10 of 16 from the field), junior guard Kayla Whoolery (10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 of 2 from the line), sophomore forward Kelsey Tidgewell (8 points, 4 of 5 from the field), and senior forward Myah Robinson (8 points, 4 of 7 from the field).
Defensive leaders for the Pride once again included Tibbs (4 steals), Whoolery (4 steals), and Tidgewell (2 blocks, 3 deflections).
Heritage Stats:
Caitlin Fischer – 1 assist, 1 steal
Erika Grabbi – 4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 deflection, 1 block, 1 assist

The Patriots, averaging 65.8 points per game, managed to carve out a 6-point lead in the final minutes of the contest but Loudoun County fought back with two big 3-pointers by junior Stephen Veschi and senior Worth Mays.
With County leading, 50-47, in the final minute, Park View patiently worked the ball around, missed one 3-point opportunity but sophomore Cody Horvath got the rebound for the Patriots and kicked the ball out to senior Joseph Jackson, who dished quickly to junior Ryan McCartr, who drained a 3-pointer to tie the contest with 35 seconds left.

After Anderson's layin spun around and bounced it, the Patriots were unable to get off a final attempt as the Raiders applied a scrambling defense and Mays was able to tip a pass into the backcourt.
Raider defense at the end seals the victory
The Raiders leading scorer Colin Gibson, injured against Broad Run earlier in the week, tried to play but wasn't able to go 100 percent and finished with two points in limited minutes. Senior Kris Pratt picked up the slack, finishing with eight points and 13 rebounds.

From Loudoun County --
The Raider boys were narrowly defeated by the Falcons last night at Ida Lee Recreation Center in Leesburg. The Lady Raiders also fell to the defending Dulles District Champions as well.
“We were close on the boys’ side,” said Head Coach Nick Grzeda. “I’ll take the 12 point loss to a great team like the Falcons, but a 12 point win would have been better.” This brings both the boys and the girls records to 1-2 for the season and also makes their overall record 1-2.
“That Briar Woods team is amazing. They have a well of talent that seems endless year after year,” remarked Grzeda. “The depth of their team is something that surprised me during the meet.”
Both the boys and girls 200 Yard Medley Relays took second to Briar Woods, but Junior Courtner Clark would soon pick up the first win for the Raiders in the 200 Yard Individual Medley (IM) in 2:10.82. Bryan Michalek placed third for the Raiders in the 200 Yard Freestyle with a 2:17.99 two events earlier. Clark would later earn third in the 100 Yard Breaststroke (1:09.13), arguably one of the most exciting races for the night.
“Sarah Sheridan has been a real blessing to this young team,” said Grzeda. “She has dedication and leadership skills that surpass her age, and she is real talent in her events. I can’t wait to see what she does for the team in the years to come.”
Sheridan (Fr.) took third in the 200 Yard IM in 2:25.79, and later a close second in the 100 Yard Breaststroke in 1:16.09; Briar Woods’ Lizzie Mittan taking first in 1:16.05.

Freshman Emily Alliss would later earn second in the 100 Yard Backstroke in 1:11.68 for the Lady Raiders.
Sadly, Junior Jake Koenig’s winning streak for individual events came to an end during this meet, but not before he claimed a state qualifying time in both the 100 Yard Butterfly (57.83), and the 100 Yard Breaststroke (1:06.23) where he broke his own school record for the second time this season. Koenig would finish second in both events.
Senior Captain Jay Wareham would place second in the 100 Yard Freestyle in 54.98, while Jack Perales (Fr.) and Chris Stowell (Sr.) would take second and third in the 500 Yard Freestyle; Perales going 5:58.09 and Stowell 6:03.47. Raiders Assistant Coach, Kristin Moats who took Jack’s splits was particularly impressed with his performance. “I kept pushing him to hold his 50 splits, and he came through. I have a feeling that this may be the event that we push him in for the season.”
The Raiders take a break for the holidays and return in action against George Mason on Saturday, January 8, at Claude Moore Recreation Center. The meet begins at 5:45 pm.

From Loudoun County --
The Raider boys were narrowly defeated by the Falcons last night at Ida Lee Recreation Center in Leesburg. The Lady Raiders also fell to the defending Dulles District Champions as well.
“We were close on the boys’ side,” said Head Coach Nick Grzeda. “I’ll take the 12 point loss to a great team like the Falcons, but a 12 point win would have been better.” This brings both the boys and the girls records to 1-2 for the season and also makes their overall record 1-2.
“That Briar Woods team is amazing. They have a well of talent that seems endless year after year,” remarked Grzeda. “The depth of their team is something that surprised me during the meet.”
Both the boys and girls 200 Yard Medley Relays took second to Briar Woods, but Junior Courtner Clark would soon pick up the first win for the Raiders in the 200 Yard Individual Medley (IM) in 2:10.82. Bryan Michalek placed third for the Raiders in the 200 Yard Freestyle with a 2:17.99 two events earlier. Clark would later earn third in the 100 Yard Breaststroke (1:09.13), arguably one of the most exciting races for the night.
“Sarah Sheridan has been a real blessing to this young team,” said Grzeda. “She has dedication and leadership skills that surpass her age, and she is real talent in her events. I can’t wait to see what she does for the team in the years to come.”
Sheridan (Fr.) took third in the 200 Yard IM in 2:25.79, and later a close second in the 100 Yard Breaststroke in 1:16.09; Briar Woods’ Lizzie Mittan taking first in 1:16.05.
In the 50 Yard Freestyle Senior Captain Joe Gibson earned first (24.77) and John Showalter (Sr.) took second in 24.97. Gibson would later earn a personal best and a win in the 100 Yard Backstroke in 1:02.65.
Both boys helped the Raiders win the 400 Yard Freestyle Relay in 3:56.19 with Senior Chris Stowell and Freshman Cameron Van Tol.
Junior Katie Russell took third in the 50 Yard Freestyle (27.02) and second in the 100 Yard Freestyle (1:00.59), while teammate Adrienne Rivera (So.) earned third in both the 100 Yard Freestyle (1:01.27) and the 100 Yard Breaststroke (1:17.35). Freshman Emily Alliss would later earn second in the 100 Yard Backstroke in 1:11.68 for the Lady Raiders.
Sadly, Junior Jake Koenig’s winning streak for individual events came to an end during this meet, but not before he claimed a state qualifying time in both the 100 Yard Butterfly (57.83), and the 100 Yard Breaststroke (1:06.23) where he broke his own school record for the second time this season. Koenig would finish second in both events.
Senior Captain Jay Wareham would place second in the 100 Yard Freestyle in 54.98, while Jack Perales (Fr.) and Chris Stowell (Sr.) would take second and third in the 500 Yard Freestyle; Perales going 5:58.09 and Stowell 6:03.47. Raiders Assistant Coach, Kristin Moats who took Jack’s splits was particularly impressed with his performance. “I kept pushing him to hold his 50 splits, and he came through. I have a feeling that this may be the event that we push him in for the season.”
The Raiders take a break for the holidays and return in action against George Mason on Saturday, January 8, at Claude Moore Recreation Center. The meet begins at 5:45 pm.
