Sports Highlights
Volleyball
The Woodson Volleyball team went
to the District playoffs last week. In the District
semifinals vs Fairfax on 11/1, the Cavaliers won 3-1. Senior captain Brenna
Gannon did a great job blocking, and senior middle Maddi Jack gave
the offense a boost with her famous slides.
District finals
were the following night on 11/2 vs West Springfield. The Cavaliers tried their
best, but lost 1-3.
Patriot District
1st team All-District awards were presented to 3 Woodson players before the
match: Senior captains Brenna Gannon, Gabi Lyons, and Sophia Mackin. Gabi Lyons
was also named the Patriot District Libero of the Year, and Coach Len Palaschak
was named Patriot District Coach of the Year. Congratulations on a terrific
season, Cavaliers!
Varsity Field Hockey
For
the regional semi-final the Lady Cavaliers hosted the Lake Braddock Bruins.
Goals were scored by Olivia Rummel and senior Emma Hartzler. The defense
organized by goal keeper, Cailin Bownas, maintained their reputation of
delivering shut-outs (87% of wins were shut-outs). Final score, 2-0 to the
Cavaliers!
The
Lady Cavaliers travelled to the Fairfax Rebels with great student support for
the regional final. The first half was great field hockey, but no goals. In the
second half, both teams had excellent chances. Bownas was called in rapid
succession to make several critical saves. The game went into extra time. An
absolutely determined Anna Stribling won the ball in midfield, took it down the
sideline confidently, and when challenged crossed to senior Rachel Williams.
Williams whipped the ball on-target with one touch. Hartzler took the deflected
ball and put it in the back of the goal.
1-0,
Woodson Cavaliers Regional Champions!
Girls Cross
Country
The Lady Cavaliers ended the season with an impressive 4th place
performance at Regionals. Although it was a little bittersweet that they didn't
move on to the State meet, this was the best regional performance by the Lady
Cavs since 1994 when that team also finished 4th. The team lead by Grace Eidson
who was All Region in 12th and will continue on to the state meet as an
individual for the second year in row. She was followed by Naylle Pando, Ansley
Pfeiffer, Paige Fowler, Caroline Poole, Jackie Willey, and Jesse
Silkowitiz. Congratulations on a great season to the whole Girls Cross Country
Team!
Boys Cross
Country
The Boys Cross Country team had a banner day at Regionals by finishing
2nd place! This is the best performance by a boys Woodson team at Regionals
since 1967 when the team also finished 2nd! The Cavaliers were lead by Abid
Hassan with a 6th place performance, followed by Jack Leech in 12th, Aslan
Abrishami Azar in 13th (all three of these guys earned All Region honors), John
Leal, Alex Posadas-Nava, Taylor Gibson and John Gilligan. They will race again
next Friday at the VHSL 6A State Meet. Congratulations!
