WINCHESTER -- Rodrigo Casteriana locked eyes with Millbrook's Joshua Lee during Tuesday's Northwestern District boys soccer tournament championship game.

Central track and field coach Rick Lytton marvels at the energy and enthusiasm apparent in Falcons freshman Lexi Keller each and every time she hits the track.

STEPHENS CITY -- Randolph-Macon Academy senior right-hander Neil Dutton dared Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy's batters to hit his offerings during Tuesday's game, filling slicing pitch after pitch across home plate as he filled the strike zone.
