Snack Wagon Success!

Snack Wagon

Thank you to everyone that contributed to the snack wagon last Friday to wrap up Teacher Appreciation week; and to Sara Mastro and Diane Raffaele for their help that day. The teachers and staff love being able to pick snacks and drinks to stash in their desks to help fuel them through these last few hectic weeks of the school year. 

A special thanks to outgoing PTSO President Miklos Kiss, pictured at left above, for organizing the snack wagon, and for his ongoing leadership. He has been a huge asset to the Woodson High School community and will be missed!

The Senior Awards Ceremony will take place on Friday, June 2, 2023, 9:45 – 11:15 am in the Woodson Auditorium. We look forward to further celebrating our Class of 2023 by recognizing their academic achievements, U.S. Service Academy appointments and ROTC scholarships, military enlistments, as well as our Woodson faculty and leadership awards. Seniors who report receipt of a scholarship will have their name and scholarship (but not the amount) listed on a rolling slide and in our printed program. To report a scholarship, seniors should complete this survey. The survey closes on May 24, and can only be access by students, who must use their fcpsschools.net account to access it.

We ask that Seniors only report scholarships that they are actually using…not every scholarship they may have earned in total. Personal invitations will go out no later than May 24th to students who are receiving an award at the ceremony. All seniors, regardless of whether they are receiving an award or not, are invited to join us to celebrate their classmates. Dress code for the ceremony is business casual.

Please email our College & Career Specialist, Christine Lieb-Mosley, at cliebmosley@fcps.edu or our Director of Student Services, Josh Peters, at fjpeters@fcps.edu if you have any questions about the awards ceremony.

CAVS SPORTS


Varsity Baseball

The Woodson Varsity baseball team finished the regular season with three games in one week. On May 1, the Cavaliers hosted the Oakton Cougars. Scott “the Durbinator” Durbin was outstanding on the hill for Woodson, striking out three, and yielding just three hits, in his six innings of work. Senior Co-Captain Ben Smallwood came on in the 7th and Oakton used three hits and an error to score two runs, but he got the final out to save the 4-2 win.

Woodson next hit the road to face the Alexandria City Titans. Andrew Viccora had two hits to pace the Cavs offensive attack, while Ryan Ramirez pitched brilliantly, giving up just four hits and one run in five innings and striking out three. Woodson prevailed 6-5.

Woodson closed out the regular season by hosting the West Potomac Wolverines on senior night. Eight seniors suited up for the Cavaliers for their last regular-season game of their high school careers.The Cavs started strong at the plate, with three consecutive singles, before a clutch, two-out single by Viccora knocked in the game’s first run. The Cavs grew their lead in the 4th, using a hit batsman, a walk, a wild pitch, and a single by Senior Jayson Kozick to make it 4-0. Brandon Shelhorse crushed a center-field home run (his 5th homer of the year), and extended the Woodson lead to 7-0. The night belonged to Smallwood who struck out the side in the 7th for the complete-game victory. Smallwood gave up just four hits and one earned run while striking out eight.

On the season, Smallwood struck out 45 hitters in 46 innings. Other impressive regular-season stats include Santamauro’s team-leading .474 batting average and 10 doubles. Shelhorse hit .400, with eight doubles and 26 runs batted in, and he also led the team with a .992 field percentage.

Boys Tennis

Last week, the team was awarded their District Champion medals. Junior Ryan Battaglia won the District Singles title in a marathon 3 set match against West Springfield’s Justin Lo. In District Doubles, Senior Nam Duong and Ryan Battaglia fell short to West Springfield’s doubles team to earn 2nd place in the District. 

Team Regional play started this week, with the Cavs defeating West Potomac in the quarterfinals. Come out to the Woodson courts on Wednesday at 2:30 to support them in their semifinal match. Go Cavs! 

Boys Tennis

 

Crew

The second day of the Virginia State Rowing Championships took place on Saturday and was just as exciting as the first! Woodson raced their Women’s and Men’s 1st and 2nd Varsity 8+ boats. We are proud to report that your Women’s 1st and 2nd Varsity crews qualified for NATIONALS by placing 3rd and 2nd in the state for their divisions, respectively. This year, the Scholastic Rowing Association of America’s Championship Regatta determines the North American Champions for the year and takes place in Oak Ridge, TN on May 25-26.

The Men’s team performed well with the Men’s 1st Varsity 8+ finishing 3rd in the Petite Final while the Men’s 2nd Varsity 8+ finished 5th in the state.

Next weekend, on May 19-20, Woodson Crew will attend the Stotesbury Cup Regatta in Philadelphia, PA. Stotesbury is the oldest and largest high school regatta in the US, and takes place annually on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia.

Crew celebrating

 

Varsity Softball

The Woodson Varsity Softball team pulled out a dramatic 3-2 win last Thursday night on the road at West Potomac in the Patriot District Quarterfinal playoffs. 

Down 2-1 entering their final at-bat, Woodson plated 2 runs to pull ahead. Claire Warden led off with a single to left field. She was replaced on the base paths by courtesy runner Maia Kim. The speedy Kim advanced to third base on a sacrifice bunt by Ally Geronime. Sarah Banker followed and delivered with a triple line drive to left center field to bring in Kim and tie the score at 2. Two batters later, Emma Fleming’s sacrifice fly to right field plated Banker with the winning run after she tagged up from third base.

Three defensive gems by the Cavs in the field kept West Potomac off the scoreboard in their last at bat. Fleming reached high at second base to snag a hard line drive for the first out. With a Wolverine runner on first, shortstop Syd Huffman made a nice fielder’s choice to get the lead runner at second for out number 2. Finally with runners on first and second, right fielder Ceci Temple made a running grab of a hot shot to seal the win with the third and final out. 

Other notable highlights of the game include: Sedona Adams with a triple and driving in a run. Elizabeth Schneider went 2 for 3 at the plate, with a double and single. Sam Klein contributed offensively with a double.

Warden got the win in the circle pitching a complete game.
