Soccer: Briar Woods Senior Lina Granados Makes Colombian U-20 Women's Squad, Heads to Brazil for South American Championships
"Our our way to the airport. Here is the beginning of our journey. We've worked so hard for this," Granados tweeted late Wednesday night.
The 17-year-old Vanderbilt recruit, who was born in Colombia, worked out with the U-20 Colombian women in May 2010 but did not make the cut. This time around she is one of 20 athletes selected to represent Colombia in a tournament which will determine two teams that will move on to the U-20 World Cup which was originally scheduled for Uzbekistan, but appears likely to end up being hosted by Japan.

"Columbia was my top choice. Coach (Kyle) Smith and his staff really recruited me hard for over a year," said Gilson, who averages 30.7 points per game, currently No. 1 in the Washington Post's metro area scoring charts.
Continued Gilson: "Ivy League academics were also important to me. Also, the vibe at Columbia and NYC is great. Their alums and students are really supportive and they sell out their conference games."

Boys Basketball: Future Bright for Tuscarora with Young Backcourt
(Jan. 17, 2012) - While the Tuscarora High School boys basketball team has gotten off to a slow start in its young history, especially compared to Loudoun's other second-year school Woodgrove which made the playoffs last year behind the play of high-scoring Brad Gilson, the Huskies are building a foundation and are improving each week.
While Tuscarora is just 1-12 after going 0-22 last year, they are playing teams close, falling to Park View, 93-82; Dominion, 63-58; Patriot, 63-59; and Briar Woods, 71-59. And the Huskies are young, young, young with sophomore guard Josh Middleton leading the team with 11.8 points per game and 14-year-old freshman shooting guard, A.J. Robinson, scoring 11.5. Another freshman, Trey Johnson, is a point guard and averages 9.2.
Forwards, junior Justin Aird and sophomore John Boris, round out the top five in scoring average for the young team which for most of the season has had no player averaging more than 12 points a game but has 11 players averaging at least three points a game including: junior Steve Welti, senior Devin Green, junior Marcus Momon, sophomore Spencer Hayes, junior Sury Avasarala, and junior Louis Werts. The 14-man Husky rosters includes just three seniors and six sophomores and freshman.
Here are highlights of Robinson's 22-point, 7-assist performance against Heritage.
Johnson is part of a unique situation where he and his brother, senior Myles Johnson, are BOTH starting point guards -- with Myles a senior at Stone Bridge where he leads the Bulldogs in scoring with 12.2 points per game.
Trey Johnson with 21 points vs. Dominion
While the brothers from Lansdowne dreamed of playing together for a year in high school, the new boundaries created when Tuscarora opened, left them at different schools this year. Myles scored a season-high 27 points against Park View and has 29 3-pointers on the year, while Trey put up 21 against Dominion. The two will not face each other as Tuscarora and Stone Bridge aren't scheduled to play this year.
