Warriors knock off Strasburg STEPHENS CITY — The smiles on their faces certainly didn't foreshadow the end of something special. Yet, there stood the Strasburg Rams, one inevitable point from the conclusion of their 29-match winning streak, laughing among themselves at a private joke. "They were just frustrated, and I was trying to break the ice a little bit," coach Suzanne Mathias said of her team's loose moment in the last timeout she would call during the winning streak, with Sherando leading 24-17.

Saturday, August 23, 2008 Wildcats fall short to Rappahannock By Robert Edmonds — Daily Sports Correspondent FRONT ROYAL — Warren County knew that it would have its hands full when it hosted Rappahannock County on Friday night. The Panthers are coming off back-to-back Group AA state semifinal appearances, but this year they have some new faces, with four sophomores in the starting lineup. Struggling against Rappahannock over the past couple of years, the Wildcats hoped for a different outcome this time around. Although they took the first two games of the match, Warren County could not withstand the mighty power of Rappahannock as the Panthers came from behind to pull out a 3-2 (22-25, 28-30, 25-20, 25-18, 15-5) nondistrict victory.

Tuesday, August 19, 2008 From soccer field dreams to reality MT. JACKSON — The Shenandoah County Soccer League could always choose to kick itself for its impending debt, but that would mask the accomplishments it has made so far. "If not now, when?

There were fumbled snaps; an ample number for head coach Heath Gilbert in his single-wing, shotgun-heavy spread offense — a facet he chastised.
