(May 16, 2011) - Three area teams clinched regional tournament bids last night -- Loudoun Valley girls, Freedom girls and Dominion boys -- as some of the lacrosse postseason action beat the weather.
In the Dulles District, regular-season champions, the Woodgrove girls and Briar Woods boys advanced to Wednesday's finals where they will face No. 2 seeds, Freedom girls and Dominion boys. Teams in the finals will advance to the regional tournament as will the winner of Wednesday's consolation games between Loudoun County and Briar Woods on the girls side and Loudoun County and Woodgrove on the boys side.
The girls tournament is at Woodgrove and the boys tournament has been moved to Tuscarora.
In the Cedar Run, Loudoun Valley won big over Heritage to clinch a Northwestern Region bid. The boys action did not finish with both Loudoun Valley, at home against Stonewall Jackson, and Heritage, on the road at Battlefield, trailing early. The Pride's game against the Bobcats has been relocated to Liberty High School on Wednesday at 5 p.m. Valley hopes to resume at home on Wednesday.

Lacrosse: Dramatic 1-Goal Wins Lift Loudoun County Boys, Girls Into Semifinals
(May 16, 2011) - The Loudoun County girls and boys lacrosse teams were in the rare position last Thursday as the hosts to Broad Run in the playoffs but the Spartans, though no longer the district top powers, were not about to let their 2011 seasons go quietly.
The Broad Run girls (6-7) scored seven unanswered goals to erase a comfortable Raider lead and take a late advantage but County (11-4) fought back to tie and then won, 16-15, on sophomore midfielder Sarah Greenspon's goal off a nice pass from junior Rachel Solis with 1:27 left.
The Broad Run boys (6-9) led with five minutes to go, 12-11, but County (11-4) scored the final two goals senior as Jack Reimers dramatic goal with 7.8 seconds left gave the Raiders the win.
"In my entire career in four years of varsity football and four years of varsity lacrosse we have beaten Broad Run just twice and that has happened in just the last week. Before that we were probably something like 0-12 against them," said Reimers.
The win advanced the County teams where the Raider boys will play at No. 2 seed Dominion tonight and the girls will travel to top seed Woodgrove.
What advice to County girls coach Courtney Bauder give her girls when they fell behind Broad Run Thursday? It was blunt and simple: "I told them this was it. We lose this and we are done."
Solis had a huge game for the Raiders with nine goals and two assists. Greenspon scored four times and Caila Cummings scored twice.
"That was a huge goal by Sarah," said Bauder who almost lost her voice during the contest.
Solis made a long run up the field, drawing the Broad Run defense, before dishing off to Greenspon who scored with a high finish, something that team had been working on late in the season.
"I didn't think I was going to make it up the field to shoot and I trust Sarah with everything, I knew she could handle it," said Solis of the winning combination.
Broad Run had a final chance to tie it but Raider senior defender Jaci Shepherd came up with one of the biggest steals in program history as County was able to run out the clock.
BR junior Taylor Forman matched Solis with nine gaols and senior Kim Buckman scored three times while sophomore Lindsay Weaver struck twice. Also key for the Spartans was the play of Heidi Smith with eight assists and good percentage of winning draws to help set the table for BR's offense.
Reimers goal in the waning seconds wasn't the only clutch goal he had just before the horn in the game as he struck in the first quarter with a goal with just 6.2 seconds left that put County up 4-3.
Broad Run senior Ryan Madigan tried the best he could to extend his Spartan career has he struck for eight goals even though he was marked closely by the Raiders.
County had more scoring depth with Peyton Stone and Reimers each scoring four times and four other players finding the net as well.
Madigan put BR up 11-10 with 10:55 to play with a shot from distance but BR could not score in a man up advantage to extend the lead and as Reimers came onto the field after the penalty expired, he scored to tie at 9:41.
The Spartans retook the lead on a goal by Collin Kohlasch with 5:48 left but BR would not score again.
County tied it up after a massive check in the midfield gave the Raiders possession and Stone struck to make it 12-12 with 4:37 left.
Madigan appeared to put the Spartans ahead with less than two to play but the shot skimmed the outside of the netting and didn't go in. Both teams had their chances with Reimers missing with 1:17 to play and Broad Run calling time out with 1:04 to go. The Spartans worked for the final shot only to have the ball stolen and in transition County fired twice and missed before calling time out with 15.4 seconds to play.
Reimers found himself covered by a short stick out of the time out and let it rip for the game winner with 7.8 seconds left.
"They told me to pick it up behind the net at X and luckily I had a shortie on me," said Reimers. "I went left and then I went back to my right, I was looking to get rid of it but nobody came so I just turned the corner and aimed bottom."

Baseball: Broad Run Clinches a Share of Dulles District Title; Park View Mason Tosses No-Hitter
(May 12, 2011) - The Broad Run High School baseball wrapped up a share of the Dulles District title Thursday with a 7-0 win over Freedom in a game moved up a day to prevent a possible rainout.
Broad Run at 14-1 in district finishes the regular season with Dominion on Tuesday. Potomac Falls (12-2) is a game back with contests with Woodgrove and Briar Woods remaining.
Freedom (9-7), Briar Woods (8-6) and Woodgrove (7-7) are fighting for homefield advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Park View (2-13) with a win last night against Tuscarora (2-12) on Bobby Mason's no-hitter, is locked in a battle for the eighth and final district tournament slot with the Huskies.
Wednesday's Skinny
Park View 1, Tuscarora 0
The Skinny: Patriot junior Bobby Mason pitched his first no hitter, just missing a perfect game against Tuscarora Wednesday. Mason faced the minimum 21 batters, striking out 10 and walking one. He walked the lead off batter, Huskies catcher Hunter Oke, in the 5th inning and picked him off on the next pitch. Mason was also 2-for-2 at the plate.
The Huskies starting pitcher, Bernie Mayflower, pitched an admirable game of his own. The only serious trouble he faced was in the first inning when, with one out, the second Park View batter reached base on a throwing error. That runner came around to score on two singles and fielder’s choice, putting the Patriots ahead 1-0. Mayflower settled in from that point on and proceeded to pitch a complete game, giving up the lone run on five hits with eight strikeouts.
Middleburg Academy 18, Trinity Christian 2 (5)
The Skinny: Sophomore Sean Walker led the Dragons offensive attack with three hits and six RBI. Middleburg has won six in a row and 10 of their last 12 games and is currently ranked 8th in the state in the latest VISAA poll.
Tuesday's Skinny
Stone Bridge 7, Marshall 4
The Skinny: Steve Johnston reports for Bulldogs that senior right-handed pitcher Mac West ran his season record to 4-0 as he led the Stone Bridge Bulldogs to a hard-fought 7-3 victory over the Marshall Statesmen.
West pitched six innings and received relief help from senior Sid Harvey who recorded the final three outs. This game was much closer than the final score might indicate and a far cry from the night before when Stone Bridge defeated Marshall 12-0 in five innings. Stone Bridge held just a 4-3 lead entering the seventh inning when they tacked on three insurance runs to give Coach Sam Plank and his team some breathing room.
Penn State bound catcher J.J. White (1-3, HR, RBI, 2 runs) got the visitors on the board first by clouting his fourth home run of the season over the center field fence for an early 1-0 Bulldogs lead. Another run was added in the third on a walk to Spenser Rositano (BB, Sac fly, R) and a double by Josh Kuzbel (1-3, HBP, RBI).
The Statesmen answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the inning when they strung together a leadoff walk followed by a single by Kent Blackstone and a double by Ryan Medric. West would strand two runners in the inning as he worked out of his first jam of the evening. Stone Bridge tacked on two more in the fourth on rbi's from Alex Wynn (1-3, RBI) and Rositano. With one out in the seventh White was hit by a pitch.
Consecutive singles by Ryan Johnston (1-3, BB, run scored), Ty Lighton (2-4, run scored), and Harvey (1-3, RBI) accounted for the final three Bulldog runs.
West, who has signed to play baseball next season for Frances Marion University, a D-II baseball power in South Carolina, was tough when he had to be. He stranded nine baserunners on the night and escaped a bases loaded jam in the fifth. On the night he scattered nine hits and struck out five.
Stone Bridge wraps up District play on Friday night when they travel to McLean. Game time is 6:30 PM.
Broad Run 11, Loudoun County 1 (5)
The Skinny: Spartans report that they improved their record on the year to 15-2 with a 11-1, 5-inning "mercy rule" victory over the visiting Loudoun County Raiders in Ashburn on Tuesday evening. With the Win, the Spartans improved their Dulles District mark to 13-1 on the season.
Sophomore AJ Powell threw a 74-pitch complete game on the mound for the Spartans. Powell struck out 10 Raiders on the night. He allowed 2 hits and walked one on the evening. With the win, Powell improves his pitching record to 6-0 on the season.
Offensively, the Spartans had 11 hits on night scoring early and often. The Spartans plated 2 runs in the bottom of the first inning and opened the game up in the bottom of the 2nd inning when Senior Shea Bargiel hit a 3-run, Home Run. Bargiel, Junior Conor Jessop (single, double), and Powell all had 2 hits apiece to lead the offensive effort.
Woodgrove 5, Tuscarora 2
The Skinny: Wolverines report that they improved their record to 11-7 by defeating the Tuscarora Huskies by a score of 5-2. Scott VanSteelent picked up his 4th win of the season by pitching a complete game, lowering his season ERA. The offense was led by Matt Jeffrey with 2 hits, Scott Van Steelent with 2 rbi's, and Matt Reed who hit a lead off solo homerun.

Huskies report that Tuscarora and Woodgrove were locked in a tight game through the first four innings Tuesday night, but in the end the Wolverines broke through to sink the Huskies in the late innings, 5-2.
Woodgrove drew first blood, jumping out 1-0 on a lead off home run in the bottom of the first. After that rude greeting, however, Tuscarora staring pitcher Tyler Dietrich bore down and prevented any further Wolverine scoring until the fifth inning.
The Huskies’ turn to score came in the third inning when first baseman Pete Sotos led off with a single to right field and second baseman Ryan Wilson moved him to second on a sacrifice bunt. Sotos advanced to third on center fielder Dalton Scanlon’s single to right and came around to score on left fielder Brady Kaplan’s single. Scanlon, who had stolen second, advanced to third on Kaplan’s hit, which permitted him to score Tuscarora’s second run when catcher Hunter Oke reached base on a fielding error. Kaplan, however, was caught stealing to end the inning.
In the bottom of the fourth it looked as if the Huskies would add at least another run when designated hitter Ian Anderson and Dietrich hit consecutive one-out singles. When Sotos flied out to center, though, Woodgrove doubled Anderson off second to squelch the rally.
The game remained 2-1 until the fifth inning, when Woodgrove put up three runs on a hit batsman, a single and a double all with two outs. The Wolverines scored an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth and might have scored more but for right fielder Eddie Lang who, fielding a single, threw a bullet to home plate to put out a Woodgrove runner and end the inning.
The Huskies needed three runs to tie, but went down meekly in the 7th on three fly outs. Anderson led the Huskies offense Tuesday night, going 2 for 3, with a double, the only Tuscarora extra-base hit of the evening. Scanlon was 1 for 4 with two stolen bases and a run scored, Kaplan 1 for 3 with an RBI, and both Lang and Dietrich went 1 for 3. Pete Sotos went 1 for 2 with a run scored.
Potomac Falls 10, Dominion 0 (5)
The Skinny: Panthers report that behind the strong pitching of Ryan Mahoney, the Panthers celebrated Senior Night at Panther Park with a 10-0 win over Dominion in 5 innings. Mahoney struck out 5 batters in pitching the fifth Panther shutout over the last seven games. Ryan Miller added a two run homerun in the fourth inning.
The Panthers put three runs on the board in the first off of Andrew Thimmesch on one hit as Ben Sweger and Matt Hoover walked, Michael Lascomb was hit by a pitch and Jackson Rogers reached on an error. The Titans committed two throwing errors that helped lead to the runs and a 3-0 lead.
Potomac Falls added two in the second with the big hit being Rogers double. In the fourth, Sweger reached on a fielder’s choice and cored on Mahoney’s double to center. He was knocked in by Rogers second hit of the game before Miller unleashed on a fastball for his first homerun of the season. The Panthers finished it off in the fifth when pinch hitter Tyler Caldwell led off with a triple and scored on Stephen Fisher’s single to end the game.
The Panthers are now 15-3, 12-2 in the District but still trail Broad Run. The Panthers go on the road for their last two games traveling to Woodgrove on Friday and Briar Woods on Tuesday.
Broad Run at 14-1 in district finishes the regular season with Dominion on Tuesday. Potomac Falls (12-2) is a game back with contests with Woodgrove and Briar Woods remaining.
Freedom (9-7), Briar Woods (8-6) and Woodgrove (7-7) are fighting for homefield advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Park View (2-13) with a win last night against Tuscarora (2-12) on Bobby Mason's no-hitter, is locked in a battle for the eighth and final district tournament slot with the Huskies.
