Thursday, March 31 Scoreboard + The Skinny
Please note: When teams report the details to us we provide them below in "The Skinny", if your team isn't covered, please have them report to us after each game!
Baseball
Loudoun County 12, Heritage 0 (5)
The Skinny: Rainy skies and wet conditions didn't halt the red hot bats of Loudoun County as the Raiders slugged out 10 hits and crossed the plate 12 times in four innings as they downed cross town rival Heritage in five. The non-district contest lifts the Raiders record to 5-2.
Senior Ryan Wigfield pitched a solid game as the starter, pitching all 5 innings and limiting the Pride to one hit and only 3 baserunners for the game. Wigfield had six strike outs. This is the second game in a row that the Raiders won in the fifth inning, by mercy rule, over a Leesburg opponent.
In the first inning the hitting began after Tyler Saleck reached base on a Heritage error. Kris Pratt picked up where he left off from Tuesday by lining a double off the left field fence to score Saleck.
In the third inning, Saleck reached first by way of an infield single. Pratt picked up his second RBI of the night by lining a triple into right field. Matt Slack then slugged his 3rd home run of the season and collected 2 RBIs. After a walk and then a single by Aaron Orrison, Taylor Cokeley lined a 2-RBI double down the left field line.
With the score 6-0 in the fourth inning, the reserves came into the ball game and contributed as well. Heritage changed pitchers at the same time and he was having control problems. After walking four batters in a row, Orrison collected his third hit of the night, a 2-RBI double. Cabot Phillips followed up with a 2- RBI single. A single by Nick Fischer and a fielding error allowed Phillips to score for the sixth run of the inning.
Varsity Baseball returns to action Friday night with a road game against Dulles District foe Potomac Falls.
Softball
Briar Woods 12, Loudoun Valley 1 (5)
The Skinny: Junior Macy Jones and senior Kristina Karagiorgis combined for the fifth no-hitter in school history as Briar Woods downed host Loudoun Valley 12-1 on a cold and wet Thursday evening in Purcellville.
Jones tossed the first four innings, striking out 11 of the 13 batters she faced, including the first eight Viking hitters. Loudoun Valley managed its first baserunner when the batter leading off the third reached on a dropped third strike, moved to second on a wild pitch and took third on a groundout. Jones snared a comebacker to the circle and fired to first to end the inning.
Karagiorgis allowed one run and struck out two in the bottom of the fifth. Senior Alex Fierszt made a great sliding catch in shallow left center for the first out of the inning, and Karagiorgis closed out the game with her pair of strikeouts.
Briar Woods (4-1), which pounded out 15 hits for the game, scratched across a run in the top of the first when freshman Casey Forbes reached on a fielder’s choice and later scored on a wild pitch.
The Falcons added three runs in the second to open a 4-0 lead. Sophomore Lynn Brantley started the inning with a walk and moved to second on an infield single by Fierszt. Brantley later raced home on another wild pitch, and Fierszt crossed the plate on a single by Forbes. Forbes later scored on a single by Karagiorgis.
After a scoreless third inning, the Falcons pulled away with four runs in both the fourth and fifth frames.
Jones started the rally in the fourth with a one-out walk, and Karagiorgis followed with a sharp single. After both runners moved up on a wild pitch, senior Kasey Ball came through with a single to plate Jones.
Senior Jillian Olson followed with a walk, and Brantley singled to drive in Ball. Brantley’s hit skipped past the Viking outfielders, allowing Olson to score as well. Freshman Caroline Fowler then singled home Brantley to cap the inning and give the Falcons an 8-0 lead.
In the fifth, Forbes drew a one-walk and Jones followed with single. With two outs, Ball roped a two-run double, and Olson added a single to put runners the corners. A passed ball allowed Ball to score, and Olson raced around from second on an errant throw on the play.
Karagiorgis finished 3-for-4, while Ball went 2-for-4 with three RBI. Brantley and Fowler added two hits apiece, and six other Falcons had one hit each.
The Falcons return to action Friday when they host Freedom at 6 p.m.
Loudoun County 11, Heritage 0 (5)
The Skinny: The Loudoun County Raiders (6-1 overall) continued their winning ways with a 11-0 non-district win over Leesburg rival Heritage on a cold wet night in Leesburg. The Raiders got two runs in the second, five in the fourth and finished the shortened game (10-run rule) with four in the fifth.
Kayleigh Kent (2-2, 2b 3 rbi, run, bb) and Kelley Duerbeck (2-3, 3 runs) had multi-hit nights. Renay Aubel (1-3, 2b, 2 runs), Katelyn Packard (1-3, rbi, 2 runs), Courtney Amos (1-2, 2b 2 rbi, run), and Erin Ertel (1-2) each added hits for the Raiders. Alison Coates (2 runs, rbi) and Brittney Platt (rbi) also helped the Raider cause with RBI's.

Dominion 18, Tuscarora 3
The Skinny: The Dominion Titans opened Dulles District play Thursday night at home against the Tuscarora Huskies, winning 18-3. With the graduation of three key seniors from last year's Dulles District tournament championship team - including Nick Brendes (now playing for Christopher Newport), Thomas Dewar (a standout this spring on the VA Tech Club team), and Sean Cooper, also at Tech - and who combined to account for about 90 percent of the Titan scoring last year, Coach Pete Lenotti is looking to see who will step in to fill the void. Thursday night at rain-soaked Titan Field, 14 players stepped up and contributed to the scoring. Sophomore attackman Brett Bushman led all scorers with 3 goals and 2 assists, while freshman attack Ben Tarrant scored his first three varsity goals and added an assist, and not to be outdone, big brother Stephen Tarrant, SR attackman, scored 3 goals. The Farmer Brothers - Cody and Troy - came through as well with Cody, a sophomore middie, dishing out 4 assists, and Troy, a junior D-Pole, returned a ground ball down the field and made a nice assist. Troy led the Titans on the defensive end of the field with 5 ground balls and a couple of take-aways. Senior goalie Andrew Fawkes, last year's Dulles District Player of the Year, had 7 saves in 2 1/2 quarters of play, and freshman goalie Christian Fochi stepped in for his first varsity game to make 3 saves.
Tuscarora, in their first year of play, moved the ball well in the wet conditions, getting off 21 shots on the Titans, and played their best game to date, according to head coach Steve Cariello.

Raiders report that: The Raiders slugged out 13 hits, five for extra bases, highlighted by a walk off home run to beat new Dulles District foe, Tuscarora, 13-3 in 5 innings. The win evened the Raiders' district record at 2-2 and their overall record improves to 4-2. The Raiders got on the board in the first inning as Stephen Veschi walked to lead off the inning. Nick Fischer then hit a single and Tyler Saleck followed up with an RBI single. Matt Slack then sacrificed Fischer in for the second run. The Raiders added another run in the 2nd inning when Collin Dillon led the inning off with a single, then advanced to second on a walk to Taylor Cokeley. Jake Wright then hit an RBI single. The Raiders erupted with seven runs off of six hits in the 3rd inning. A lead off single by Kris Pratt and a walk by Slack, allowed Ethan Carlyon to hit an RBI single. Dillon then hit the first of two Raider triples in the game. Dillon scored on a fielder's choice by Cokeley. Wright smashed a double to start the base runners again. Followed up by a walk to Veschi, Fischer hit an RBI single to center field. Saleck got on base by a fielder's choice. Pratt came up for the second time in the inning and smashed his 6th double of the year, this one good for 2 RBIs. Pratt was effective on the mound, holding the Huskies hitless and scoreless for 4 innings. Tuscarora put 3 runs over the plate in the top of the fifth inning. The Raiders put Tuscarora away for good in the bottom of the fifth. Substitute Aaron Orrison hit a bunt single, then advanced to 3rd base by stealing a base and a past-ball. Substitute Zach Ballinger knocked in Orrison on a triple to right-center field. Then, Pratt ended the game by shooting a 2-run home run over the left field fence.
Huskies report that: For the second game in a row, the Huskies’ previously reliable starting pitching could not stave off an opponent’s offensive. It seemed at first that the Huskies were on their way to being shut out for a third straight game as the revamped Tuscarora lineup went hitless through the first four innings. Down 10-0 after three innings, the Huskies continued to battle until their bats showed signs of life in the fifth. After centerfielder Dalton Scanlon led off the inning by reaching base on an error and second baseman Travis Burke walked, reliever Ian Anderson loaded the bases with a single to left and left fielder Brady Kaplan followed with an RBI single to right. Shortstop Bernie Mayflower drove in two more with a double down the right field line, making it three hits in a row and three Tuscarora runs on the board. The Huskies couldn’t sustain the rally, though, and ended the frame with the bases loaded. In the bottom half of the inning the Raiders answered with three more runs and brought down the curtain on the Huskies’ evening.

Panthers report: After loading the bases in the top of the first inning on three consecutive singles, Spartans pitcher Ashley Ferrara got out of the inning without giving up a run and held the Panthers scoreless through the first five innings. The Spartans scored two runs in the 2nd, two unearned runs in the 3rd, a run in the 4th, and two more in the 5th inning. The Panthers led off the 6th inning with freshman Tiffany Barndt (2-4, run) singling to left field before the Spartans made a pitching change. After the next two batters were hit by pitches, the next six Panthers put the ball in play. Junior Peyton Valentine (1-4, run, 2 RBIs) singled down the right field line to score two runs, followed by senior Katlyn McClung (1-2, run, RBI) with an infield single, and senior Kayla Guttridge's (2-4, run 2 RBIs) 2-run double to right center before the Spartans put Ferrara back into pitch up 7-5.

Woodgrove 13, Freedom 2 (5)
The Skinny: With five wins behind them, the Wolverines were ready to take some chances when they faced Freedom Tuesday night at Woodgrove field. Sophomore Alexa Hillyard had her first start as a varsity pitcher and Rachel Harris stepped in as catcher. The team hardly missed a beat as they put away the Eagles in five innings. The hits started early with Courtney Bogan and Ashley Cole both hitting singles. This set the stage for Christy Haney’s single which brought in Bogan to score the first run. With Cole in scoring position, Delanie Daughtry brought her home with another strong single, and Harris followed with a single to bring home Haney for the third run. Hillyard’s hit deep into centerfield was too much for the Eagles outfield when the ball was dropped and Daughtry and Harris were able to come home. After Katie Sholl was walked, Amanda Rathjen came home on a passed ball, and that was enough to end the first inning 6-0. Freedom was able to find a weak spot in the Wolverines’ defense when the first three batters in the second inning loaded the bases and the sixth batter, Tsitos, brought home Villagomez to score the first run for the Eagles. The Wolverines were able to score a seventh run when Cole was walked, stole second and third base, and came home on an Alaina Furr double. The second inning ended with a score of 7-1. The third inning saw more Eagles on base. McGrady scored the only run after hitting a single and being advanced by Johnson, Snyder, and Muller. Woodgrove was unable to keep the runs coming and the inning ended 7-2. Freedom’s first three batters of the fourth inning met with strong defensive plays from the Wolverines, especially McGrady’s line drive to right field which was ably snagged by Mackenzie Moler. The Woodgrove scoring drive began when Bogan and Cole were walked and brought home by a double from Haney. Furr singled and brought in Haney, Daughtry singled and brought in Furr, and Harris singled and brought home Daughtry to score the 12th run. The last run of the inning was scored by Harris when a single by Hillyard brought her home. The top half of the fifth inning offered the Eagles a last chance to score, but they were unable to get a run. The game ended with a score of 13-2.
Loudoun County 11, Tuscarora 0 (5)
The Skinny: The Raiders improved to 3-1 in the Dulles District and 5-1 with a 14-hit night against the neighboring Huskies.

Park View answered with a nice approach and solid goal from Alison Kuhn to tie the game 1–1. Briar Woods scored again before half when sophomore Davis slid a ball past the Patriot’s goalkeeper to make it a 2-1 game. Briar Woods’ halftime talk lit a fuse that ignited in a third goal for "Shell" Davis in the opening minute of the second half. Alexis Jensen joined in the frenzy with the second BOOM of the night when she fired a strike for a 4–1 lead. Davis capped her productive night with a career high 4th goal. Falcons captain Morgan McCarthy finished the scoring frenzy by evading two defenders and firing a rocket from the top of the box. Park View’s strong midfield created some dangerous moments for the Falcons with through-balls but once again the Woods’ defense held. The Falcons back three, led by sophomore Tori Panzica with freshmen Kira Warner and Alexis Haycraft, protected their keeper allowing only 7 shots on goal. Keeper Cloe Barnes had 6 saves.

On the Sidelines with Dan Sousa: Loudoun Valley's Athletic Facilities Showing Their Age as 50th Anniversary Approaches
On the Sidelines with Dan Sousa, VivaLoudoun Editor
 |
So much of Loudoun is so new, so fast, that I enjoy lurking around the hallways and fields of the older schools in the county.
You wouldn’t know it by the past five or six years, where the school was literally busting at its seams until the opening of nearby Woodgrove, but until 1999, Loudoun Valley was historically the smallest high school in the county with under 1,000 students.
After spending a considerable amount of time at Valley for the Cheers Sports and VivaLoudoun Valley Wrestling Duals in January, it was quite evident to me that the school, which I always considered historically charming, was starting to show its wear and tear from nearly 50 years of use, especially in the athletic areas.
Swim: Heritage's Damon Rosenburg to Compete for NCAA Division III National Champion Denison University
(Mar. 29, 2011) - Heritage High School senior Damon Rosenburg announced Sunday that he will swim next year for Denison University, the Granville, Ohio school which a day earlier captured the NCAA Division III national championship and ending Kenyon College's amazing 31-year national title winning streak.
Rosenburg took fifth in the 100 breast at the AAA state meet this year with a 1:06.71 time. He also qualified for States in the 200 IM.

Girls Basketball: Stone Bridge Coach Chris Jones Steps Down After Bulldogs Best Season Ever
Ashburn (Mar. 29, 2011) - Stone Bridge High School girls basketball coach Chris Jones, who led the Bulldogs in three short seasons from a 3-19 mark to a 23-4 record and the school's first ever Liberty District title, has stepped down from the program to spend more time with his family.
"It was obviously a difficult decision for me and one that I thought about for the last six months," said Jones. "I loved coaching at Stone Bridge, working under Dave Hembach and Brian Parke, and competing in the AAA Liberty District. The toughest part is leaving the group of girls we had coming back because they were a treat to coach and they exceeded my expectations of them."
Jones, a former assistant at Broad Run High School, has an 8-month-old son at home.
"Even though I was only the head coach there for three years, I have been coaching for the last 15 years and now having an 8 month old boy. I felt that this was the time to step away for a couple of years and enjoy him while he is young," said Jones. "I wouldn't be able to put the time in the girls deserve to have a head coach put in during the off season."
Stone Bridge captured both the regular-season and tournament district titles this year and advanced to the Northern Region quarterfinals before falling to Robinson, 56-46.
"I know I will miss coaching very much but I am looking forward to taking some time away from coaching, enjoying my son, and becoming a spectator for the time being," said Jones.
Earlier, Stone Bridge boys coach Sonny Greene also stepped down so the Bulldogs are currently hunting for two new varsity basketball coaches.
