The recent class of coaches, athletes and contributors inducted into the Virginia High School League Hall of Fame comprises two local coaches, well established in the same sport, who are admittedly ecstatic to rub elbows with one of the most established coaches in Virginia.
QUICKSBURG -- If it wasn't enough for Clarke County's boys soccer team to have to travel 70 miles for its match in the Region B Tournament quarterfinals, imagine having to travel all that way to face a team that had beaten them twice in the regular season and was 18-0 going into the game.
QUICKSBURG -- There was no on-field celebration for Central on Thursday. There were no shrieks from teammates, no applause from fans in the stand, not even a team gathering following the final whistle. In fact, there wasn't even a final whistle.
QUICKSBURG -- Stonewall Jackson forward Hope Madaris had a hat trick on Friday to lead the Generals to a convincing 8-0 win over Luray in the Shenandoah District girls soccer tournament quarterfinals.
HARRISONBURG -- The Stonewall Jackson Generals took several top spots, and Central also earned some medals, in the Shenandoah District Track and Field meet on Wednesday evening at Harrisonburg High School.
STRASBURG -- The discus event, as Lucas Ryan will tell you, requires a lot of technique in order to be successful. The shot put, on the other hand, is simply a test to see who is truly the strongest guy out there.
NEW MARKET -- Claire Barbour hadn't made much use of her net play this season. But with the match against Shenandoah District and county rival Stonewall Jackson on the line Friday afternoon, she decided it was time to try.
QUICKSBURG -- Everything went according to plan. Patrick Bain was supposed to see teammate Jose Garcia creeping toward him at the top of the penalty box.
QUICKSBURG -- The Central softball team has longed for a game like this all season. Sure, the Falcons can usually count on veteran pitcher Brea Hinegardner to throw strikes and keep opponents to a few runs each time out.
WOODSTOCK -- The word both teams used for Tuesday's girls soccer match between Central and Stonewall Jackson was intense, and that certainly described it well.
QUICKSBURG -- Stonewall Jackson senior Dylan Dawson stood on the Generals sideline, the final minutes of a 6-1 win over Central spilling off the scoreboard.
QUICKSBURG - As a freshman, Juan Flores was known simply as "five meals."
The first-year student at Stonewall Jackson was a team manager for the Generals' boys soccer team, but Flores himself wasn't exactly a walking billboard for fitness. Standing at just 5 feet 5 inches, Flores was a meaty 200 pounds and kids would joke that he ate five square meals a day. He could only watch the players from the sideline, but yearned to see time on the field.
QUICKSBURG -- Emily Workman really couldn't believe she hit it that "far." Part of that mindset was in place because hits have been hard to come by for the senior center fielder.
BERRYVILLE -- When star player Patrick Bain left Monday's game just 10 minutes in, it would've been easy for Stonewall Jackson's boys soccer team to panic.
BERRYVILLE -- Although their No. 2 and No. 3 players were absent, the Clarke County Eagles topped Stonewall Jackson 5-4 in a nondistrict girls tennis match on Monday.
QUICKSBURG -- The rain came down in buckets, coating the Stonewall Jackson pitch with a slick film of water. Generals senior midfielder Patrick Bain stood on the sideline, his sprained right ankle packaged in a black brace.
STRASBURG -- Trotting off the pitch of Glenn Proctor Field at Ram Stadium on Tuesday, Strasburg sophomore Taylor Hill shivered from an adrenaline-fueled chill.
STRASBURG -- Although both teams came into Friday's boys soccer match with an unblemished record, Stonewall Jackson has a tradition of handling Strasburg easily.
STRASBURG -- Stonewall Jackson senior Patrick Bain walked off the pitch with a strip of black tape wrapped around his injured hand. Generals senior Dylan Dawson walked back from the Strasburg bench, where the first aid kit lay, with a fresh bag of ice packaging his dislocated shoulder.
QUICKSBURG -- When Caleb Golladay hobbled off the Stonewall Jackson pitch in the 73rd minute to scattered claps and cheers, cramps clinging to both his calves, it was evident just how much energy the senior had exerted.
BERRYVILLE -- Although Clarke County, one of the area's premier girls soccer programs, totally dominated play defeating Stonewall Jackson 5-0 ON Thursday in both teams' season opener, the Generals may have witnessed the emergence of a future star in freshman goalkeeper Rhea Jett.
BERRYVILLE -- Ethan Emmart was facing hitters for the first time on Wednesday. Without any scrimmages or even so much as facing his own Clarke County teammates in practice, Emmart's preseason pitching work consisted of throwing a few bullpen sessions.
