High School Sports › Latest Scores  Sep 02, 2010 By Jim McConnell After watching her players repeatedly squander scoring opportunities during the first half Tuesday against Prince George, Trinity Episcopal field hockey coach Margie Snead knew the Titans’ 2-0 lead should’ve been much larger. Trinity added two more goals in the second half to complete a 4-0 victory and reach the final of its own four-team, season-opening invitational tournament. Still, Snead wasn’t satisfied. While Prince George and Colonial Heights squared off in the consolation game, Snead gathered her team together in the student commons and emphasized the fundamentals that so often make the difference between merely generating chances to score and… Continue »  Aug 30, 2010 Girls’ volleyball squads from eight area high schools participated in the annual James River Girls’ Volleyball Jamboree on Saturday, Aug. 28.

It is a growing problem.” Freund, who has been refereeing for over 40 years, said the shortage has been constant over the past few seasons for both field hockey and girls’… Continue »  Jul 28, 2010 Content courtesy of Bob Creighton Midlothian Athletic Association “Super Senior Award” winners for 2010 are Cathryn Coy and Jimmy Fitch.

In one year, the brothers won, not one but two, State championship games, earned two conference- and three state-level awards, and set four school records. Yet, the two remain as down-to-earth and mutually supportive as they were in the last chapter. The Paul brothers held State championship trophies as athletes, on both the varsity football and baseball teams, at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School during the 2009-2010 seasons, which will make for a lot of stories around the grill as they get older. But almost overshadowing the… Continue » The 2010 Midlothian High School club lacrosse team. - Photo courtesy of Fran Via

The team welcomes representatives from nine Richmond area high schools on both sides of the river. Though one would think playing against each other during the high school season might prove harmful, the team is no less unified when they’re back on the same side of the ball for the travel/club fall and summer seasons. “We all get along really well, and when we all play each other in high school it’s really fun,” co-captain Alyson Brown said. “We always go the hardest against each other,”… Continue » One inning of wildness costs Cosby Jun 15, 2010 By Eric Kolenich With each pitch they threw, the frustration mounted for the Cosby Titans. Time and again, the ball hummed toward home plate, catcher Luke Lowery caught it, and held it out for an instant in his mitt. And each time, the umpire stood there like a statue, completely motionless. Ball. For one inning, the strike zone must have felt a hundred feet away for Cosby’s pitchers. They walked six batters in the third, allowing seven Woodbridge runs to cross the plate. The Titans never recovered. Woodbridge defeated Cosby 9-4, eliminating the Titans from the group AAA state semifinals. Woodbridge (27-0) played West Springfield in the Virginia High School League Group AAA state… Continue » |
