Monday, November 10, 2008 Rams capture Group A crown RICHMOND — Leading up to Saturday's Group A state competition, Strasburg cheerleaders exclaimed it was a matter of "when" they won, not "if."

The combination of hours of practice and an ambitious routine helped Strasburg capture the state championship at the Siegel Center in Richmond — the school's first title in the sport since 2001.

Saturday, November 8, 2008 Fleming's TD highlights Warriors' season finale STEPHENS CITY — Their parents had long since been paraded down the sideline, their playoff chances weren't worth considering, and their opponent for the night was safely out of the game.

You're not taking us out,'" Sherando lineman Hunter Taylor said. "He said, 'Ah, all right all right.'" Saturday, November 8, 2008 Judges secure district title NOKESVILLE — Handley got everything it was looking for Friday night in its 42-6 win over Brentsville.

Saturday, November 8, 2008 With defense struggling, SU overhauls two-deep WINCHESTER — Head coach Paul Barnes said the Shenandoah Hornets will play their best 11 players — a performance-based evaluation that has re-assigned three freshmen to starting positions on the Hornets' defense.

Friday, November 7, 2008 Smoot's play nudges Rams back to states ALTAVISTA — Jenna Smoot could only sit and wait.

Friday, November 7, 2008 Loss of Carter too much to overcome for Warriors By Jeremy Stafford -- Daily Sports Correspondent STEPHENS CITY — Just minutes into the second game of the Region II semifinal match between Sherando and Western Albemarle, middle-hitter Lauren Carter jumped into the net, attempting a block, and was called for a blocking error. The error cost her team a point; the landing cost Sherando one of the best arms in the district. While her body slid down the net, Carter's foot landed awkwardly on the shoe of another player, her ankle pushed toward the ground. As she limped off the court, the tears that welled in Carter's eyes seemed to gather, not from of the pain of her sprained ankle, but from a realization that Sherando might not be able to keep up with Western Albemarle without her. Friday, November 7, 2008 Hunter Taylor diary: Bidding farewell after a great season Well, it looks like everyone now knows that Sherando's football team is human. And yes, we will be buying tickets for the rest of the season. But you know what? It's OK, life will go on, and as a matter of fact, life is just begining for us. Our senior football season is coming to an end, and we have learned more from this season than any other seasonwe have ever played. Because even though we are not in the playoffs, we have a chance to finish 7-3. There are a lot of teams out there that would trade us for that in a heatbeat. It just so happens that we don't play in a division that you can get into the playoffs at 5-5, and that's fine with us, because we don't deserve the playoffs. |
