On the Sidelines with Dan Sousa - Talk About Your Fast Liftoffs! Farmwell Station English Teacher Breaks National, State Records in First Powerlifting Event

A column by VivaLoudoun.com editor Dan Sousa

(Dec. 15, 2009) - Farmwell Station Middle School English teacher Jessica Read had quite a "liftoff" to her powerlifting career as the former Virginia Tech track and field standout and Broad Run High School assistant "throws coach" entered her first bench press competition over the weekend and came away with a 235-pound bench press for a state record, national record and a current fourth place ranking in the world!

The 1995 graduate of Broad Run -- she still holds school records in the shot and discus -- first started lifting, mostly for fun, when she was 13-years-old as part of training for her year-round swimming.

At Virginia Tech she was an all-conference performer, competing in the shot and javelin. As a Hokie she got into lifting more as they had a very serious strength and conditioning program.

Read -- could she have been anything but an English teacher with that last name! -- stopped lifting for several years and didn't pick it back up until the summer of 2008 when she started workign out at Gold's Gym in Ashburn. Her friends encouraged her to try competitive lifting and so just 10 weeks ago she started serious training.

On Saturday she made the trek down to Standardsville, just past Culpeper, to compete in The 100 Percent RAW Christmas Classic. (Sure, in your household you think of "Miracle on 34th Street" when you think of Christmas Classic ... if they updated that movie for modern times, it just wouldn't be the same if they came into the courtroom, dramatically, with thousands of texts ...)

RAW means no equipment, such as wrist wraps, bench shirt, so on, just the lifter and a singlet and of course ... the weight. And 235 pounds later ... Read is a record setter!

And it won't be her last competition and she hopes that others will join the sport here locally:
"It'd be great if powelifting took off in the area!"

Boys Basketball: More Fallout from Potomac Falls, 111-108, Triple OT Win Over Stone Bridge Last Week

(Dec. 15, 2009) - Potomac Falls coach Jeff Hawes called it one of the best high school basketball games he has ever been associated with. It was a triple overtime thriller won by the Panthers over Stone Bridge on Friday. A game that featured not one, not two, but three buzzer beaters and if it wasn't for the last buzzer beater by record setter Lukas Mihailovich, the two teams would have headed to a fourth overtime.

While Stone Bridge had Mihailovich for 51 points in their book, the Panthers have him for 50 points (the game was played at Park View so there wasn't a home book necessarily). Either way it is a school record for the junior

Here are Hawes' notes from the game:

*Potomac Falls had a 5-point lead in regulation with 14 seconds but the Bulldogs got a 3-pointer and then Richie Berry hit a one-handed runner in the lane at the buzzer to send it into OT.
*In the first OT, the Panthers trailed by as much as seven with 1:40 left and needed a furious run sent it to double OT.
*In double OT, PF had pretty good control but at the buzzer, Stone Bridge senior James Wells banked in a 3-pointer from about 25 feet at the buzzer. Wells hit a shot just inside halfcourt to beat the third quarter buzzer in a game earlier in the week against Broad Run.
*In triple OT, Stone Bridge took a quick 5-point lead. PF battles back and was in pretty good control until SB's Mike Hamrick was fouled while shooting a 3-pointer with 4 seconds left. He made the first and PF called timeout to ice him. But Hamrick calmly makes the next two shots to tie the game at 108. PF inbounds ball to Mihailovich who takes two dribbles and lets it go from five feet behind halfcourt - count it off the backboard and a 111-108 win.

Final PF Stats
Mihailovich - School record 50 points - 10 rebounds - 6 steals - 6 assists
Curran - 16
Graves - 11 boards and 6 blocks
Chesson - 13 points - 10 boards

SB - Brown 30 and Berry 20

Williamsburg (Dec. 15, 2009 - A day after earning All-America honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation, William and Mary senior defensive end and Potomac Falls High School graduate Adrian Tracy garnered another national accolade by being selected to the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS All-America Team.

A Buchanan Award candidate and two-time first-team all-conference honoree, Tracy was one of the country’s most dominant defensive players this season. The Sterling, Va., native ranked seventh nationally with 1.57 tackles for a loss per game and 15th at 0.79 sacks per game. With 12 sacks, he equaled the single-season school record established by Luke Cullinane in 1996. Additionally, Tracy ranked sixth in the conference in tackles among defensive linemen with 5.6 per game.

Tracy help the Tribe to tie a school mark for victories in a season as the team advanced to the NCAA semifinals before falling over the weekend to Villanova, 14-13. Read more about Tracy and William and Mary football here!

(Dec. 15, 2009) - A week after it was supposed to be played, Briar Woods High School and North Stafford got together for the championship game of the Briar Woods Tip-Off Tournament with host Falcons, behind 31 by Myles Tate, taking the title with a 69-59 win over the previously unbeaten Wolverines.

Football: Broad Run Leaves No Doubt with Second Straight State Title

By Carl Lukat
Times-Mirror Staff Writer
Blacksburg (Dec. 14, 2009) - Broad Run High School head football coach Michael Burnett often talks to his players about rising above adversity.

So when the Spartans faced the obstacle of playing the second half of Saturday's Division 4 state football championship game without 2,000-plus-yard rusher T.J. Peeler, nothing needed to be said.

Peeler, also a linebacker, injured his right knee on defense late in the first half. The University of Pittsburgh commit would spend the second half on crutches.

"We really didn't talk much about it [at halftime]," Broad Run senior David Weaver said. "We know a team is a team and we can bounce back from an injury."

The Spartans received a senior-like performance from sophomore quarterback Connor Jessop in the second half and made a big defensive stand in the final minute to hold on for a 21-16 victory over Amherst at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium.

Loudoun: Home of the State Champions!

(Dec. 14, 2009) - Broad Run High School's VHSL Division 4 state football title Saturday crowned a banner fall for Loudoun schools as four state titles were brought home including Loudoun County and Loudoun Valley in volleyball and Briar Woods in competitive cheer.

As far as state titles goes, this is the golden age for Loudoun athletics as local schools have hauled home eight tiles in the past 12 months along and a whopping 37 since 2000. In the previous 30 years, a total of 18 titles were won.

Even if you take into account the expanding number of high schools in Loudoun -- Stone Bridge opening in 2000 was the county's fifth high school and there are now 10 total -- the athletes are still have greater success. In the 1980s, for example, there were four high school and eight total titles won or two per every school. In this decade, even if all 10 high schools had been opened since 2000, the average would be 3.7 or almost double.

In football alone there have been more state title appearances (5) and titles won (3) since 2005 than there were in the previous 35 years where there were four appearances and one title total.
