Cheers Sports and Viva Loudoun All-Loudoun Teams Selection Process

(June 16, 2013) - We are releasing our Cheer Sports/Viva Loudoun All-Loudoun picks for the 10 spring sports shortly. Selections were made by Viva Loudoun editor Dan Sousa and college intern Owen Gotimer.

Please note that it is impossible to ever get these teams "right" because by their very nature they are subjective. We are picking just 12 athletes or so per sport and that is across 13 public high school so some of the very best athletes did not make the cut! And we are comparing AA and AAA teams that often do not play each other or play the same level of competition so it can't be based always on head-to-head competition.

For selection, we considered first hand observation from game coverage, conversations with coaches, all-district and all-region teams as picked by coaches, All Mets picks by the Washington Post staff, game reports and game/player stats as supplied by the teams to media.

Not every team supplied reports/stats to media in the spring so that may have hindered us picking some athletes and we apologize but we can only go off the information we have at hand.

Please note that those athletes on teams that made long postseason runs got more exposure and thus more chance to be chosen and we tried to award clutch performers.

For track and field, we relied on big meet performances and also top marks as supplied to Milestat, the keeper of all things track and field in Virginia!

In some cases we may have bypassed a first team all-district player for a second-team all-district player based on our own subjective analysis and in other cases an athlete that is a team's MVP may not be picked in favor of their teammate, again based on our subjective opinion. Often times a team's MVP is many more things than the best player on the team.

If you did not get picked, it did not mean you didn't have a great season!

And knowing we have missed some great athletes, you have a chance to nominate those we didn't pick as "Fan Favorites" ... please complete this form to add your favorite athlete to the photo shoot on Sunday, June 23. We will honor the Fall, Winter and Spring "Fan Favorites" with individual and group shots.

Softball: Woodgrove Falls One Game Shy of Retaining AA State Title

By Jason S Rufner
Special to Viva Loudoun
Radford (June 10, 2013) - Making an appearance in the Group AA state championship softball game for the third consecutive season, the defending champion Woodgrove Wolverines suffered a 9-3 loss to Cave Spring in Radford on Sunday.

"We might have been trying to do a little bit too much, trying to overpower the ball a little bit," Woodgrove coach Joe Spicer said as his players showed somber expressions in the game's aftermath.

The Wolverines (26-3) were not without offensive opportunities against the Knights (24-4).

Girls Soccer: Woodgrove Wins Back-to-Back AA State Titles with 2-0 Win Over Dulles District Rival Briar Woods

By Kyle Frazier 
Special to Viva Loudoun
Radford (June 10, 2013) - Woodgrove High School, which opened just three years ago, has already won two girls soccer state champions as the Wolverines topped Dulles District foe Briar Woods, 2-0, on a sunny afternoon at Radford Sunday to claim a second straight state title.

"It feels pretty good. I was just thinking when they got the awards that it is a little surreal to win two in a row," said Woodgrove coach Erin Barrett. "Last year we were the home team all the way through, and this year we were the away team - with a lot of traveling. They did this for each other, they were playing for each other."

Softball: Stone Bridge Comeback Falls Short as Great Bridge Outlasts Bulldogs, 10-9, in AAA State Finals

By Owen Gotimer 
Viva Loudoun College Intern 
Chantilly (June 9, 2013) – For the second time in school history, Stone Bridge High School fell shy of collecting the Bulldogs first VHSL AAA state softball title after coming up just one run short of a come from behind victory against Great Bridge, falling 10-9 at Westfield High School Sunday.

“I guess the only way it could have been a little better is if we could have got one right there and given ourselves a chance,” Bulldogs coach Billy Rice said.

Stone Bridge fought back from an 8-run, fifth inning deficit to pull within one run in the seventh.

“The Stone Bridge kids are awesome,” Great Bridge coach Kirk Clayton said. “That is a fantastic team. They had us pretty scared there at the end. They just came back: hitting, hitting, hitting, hitting.”

With one out and two runners aboard in the final frame, Stone Bridge cleanup hitter and starting pitcher Kelly McDaniel stepped up to the plate and ripped a line drive at the third baseman who caught the ball before throwing to second to double off the runner ending the Bulldogs magical season at 28-2.

Girls Soccer: Dulles District Foes Briar Woods and Woodgrove to Face Each Other in State Finals Sunday

By Kyle Frazier 
Special to Viva Loudoun 
Radford (June 8, 2013) - The Briar Woods High School girls soccer team punched its ticket to the VHSL AA state championship game with a 1-0 victory over Blacksburg Saturday afternoon at Radford University. The Falcons defense only allowed two shots on goal in their victory.

In the second semifinal, defending state champion Woodgrove earned their spot in the championship game with a 6-1 victory over Salem. Only one shot on goal was allowed by the Wolverines.

In fact Dulles District teams simply haven't allowed any other schools around the state a shot at a state title and this will be the second straight year and third time in four years that the AA state final is an All-Loudoun affair.

Briar Woods and Woodgrove, which have split postseason meetings this spring with Woodgrove winning the Dulles title game, 3-0, and Briar Woods taking the Region II title contest in overtime, 1-0, will play for the state championship Sunday at Patrick D. Cupp Stadium in Radford with a noon kickoff.

The winner will bring home a sixth straight state championship to Loudoun with Broad Run winning from 2008-2011 and Woodgrove winning last season. Since the AA state tournament started in 1999 for girls soccer, Loudoun teams will have won 10 titles and made 16 state finals appearances including a team in the finals in 13 of 15 years.

Softball: Defending AA State Champion Woodgrove Claws Way Back into State Finals

By Jason S Rufner
Special to Viva Loudoun

Radford (June 8, 2013) - The three-year-old Woodgrove High School softball program made it a perfecdt 3-for-3 in getting to AA softball championship games with  the Wolverines 6-2 state semifinal win over Fort Defiance at Radford University on Saturday.

Woodgrove, which finished state runner-up in 2011 and won the state title last year, defends its crown at 1 p.m. Sunday at Radford as the Wolverines (26-2) take on Region IV champion Cave Spring (23-4).

"When you're chasing one, it's easy, but when you're defending one, I think that's one of the hardest things to do in sports," said Woodgrove's veteran coach Joe Spicer, who won state crowns with Loudoun Valley in 2003 and 2005.
