Atoms Weekly Recap
Here is a quick recap of first week of spring sports
Baseball had two games scheduled but only played one thanks to mother nature. However, that game did not disappoint as the Atoms jumped out to an early 3-0 before TJ battled back to make 3-3 in the 3rd inning. The game stayed that way until the bottom of the 7th when the Atoms walked it off to win an exciting game 4-3. The Atoms move to 3-2 in the district as they prepare for their next game vs Edison Monday evening.
Softball had the same fortunate with mother nature and played TJ last night. The Atoms jumped out early and never looked back. It was 14-5 in the 5th but the Atoms couldn't close out the slaughter rule in 5 innings and saw TJ cut the game to 15-11. The Atoms scored 4 in the bottom of the 6th to win comfortably 19-11. They see action Monday vs Edison.
Boys Soccer had one game this week versus district foe Falls Church. It was a clean competitive game throughout but the Jaguars put 2 on the board in the first half and played solid defense in the second half to keep the Atoms off the board and win 2-0. The Atoms travel to Hayfield next Friday.
Girls Soccer traveled Falls Church Thursday evening and played an exciting game vs the Jaguars. Regular time ended in a 1-1 tie and took the game to OT. The Jaguars squeezed one past in OT to get the 2-1 win over the Atoms. The Atoms host Hayfield next Friday.
Outdoor Track battled the rain Tuesday at Lewis but saw impressive showings by multiple athletes. A few personal best occurred throughout the meet with a couple more athletes qualifying for the district meet in May. The Atoms hit the track again at Hayfield Thursday afternoon.
Boys Tennis continues to show their growth but it was enough in their only match of the week at Mt. Vernon. The Atoms played well taking a few matches deep into but in the end the Majors came away victorious. The Atoms host Hayfield Thursday afternoon.
Girls Tennis got the win yesterday over Mt. Vernon. The Atoms ran away with the Match winning 5-1 as the match ended before doubles occurred. The Atoms were pretty dominant across the board and look to continue the upward trend and growth as they travel to Hayfield Thursday.
Boys Lacrosse hosted Falls Church for their only game of the week Friday evening. The Jaguars were a little too much the Atoms as they showed their strength and ran away from the Atoms early. The Atoms continue to show growth and improvement and look to get back at it Monday as they travel to Hayfield.
Girls Lacrosse split their two games this week. The Atoms started off with an impressive win over Mt. Vernon Wednesday evening 17-6! It was a complete team win for the Atoms. The second game didn't have the same results as they fell to district rival Falls Church Friday evening. The Atoms host Hayfield Monday evening for senior night.
