Atoms Athletics Recap
Boys Basketball had two pivotal district games to complete their regular season. The Atoms went into the week needing two wins to secure a top three seed in the district. On Monday, the Atoms traveled to Edison to take on the Eagles. The Atoms saw themselves in a double digit deficit early and at the half before making a comeback and taking a two point lead with less than ten seconds. The Eagle rebounded a miss free throw and drove the length of the court only to have a goaltending call cancel the basket. The Atoms squeaked out the win to make a three way tie for second place. The Atoms completed their regular season at Mt. Vernon. The game was a nailbiter to the end that ultimately saw the Atoms secure a late victory to secure the number three seed in the National District Tournament. They will host Lewis or Mt. Vernon on Tuesday at Annandale with a tip-off time of 6:30pm.
Girls Basketball completed their final week of the regular season this week. On Monday, the Atoms welcomed Edison for their final regular season game of the season. The Atoms caught the Eagles off guard early as they battled the Eagles throughout the first half, trailing by three with just under three minutes to play in the first half. However, that was as close as it would get as the Eagles took off and soared away from the Atoms to take the district win. The Atoms wrapped up their season with a visit to Mt. Vernon Thursday. This game was a much closer contest then the first time these two teams played but it was the Majors who came out victorious to complete their season. The Atoms now prepare for the National District Quarterfinals, where they will travel to Hayfield Tuesday evening at 5:30pm.
Boys & Girls Wrestling. Girls competed in their National District Championship Meet last Saturday at Annandale. It was a great tournament for all the girls involved and the Atoms represented well! The Atoms finished third overall as a team and had multiple wrestlers in the finals including Darling Saravia who took home the District Championship in her weight class! The boys wrestled in the Occoquan Region Championship Thursday at Fairfax. The Atoms may not have finished how they were planning to but Jordy Lopez Funes finished fourth in his weight class to qualify for the VHSL State Championship Meet next Friday and Saturday in Virginia Beach. Isaac Readinger and Junior Vera Puna are alternates for the state tournament.
Swim/Dive are preparing for the VHSL State Championships, February 22 in at the Jeff Rouse Swim Center.

Atoms Boosters Concession Stand Help
Attention Parents! Volunteers are needed to sell concessions at games throughout the year. We welcome any and all parents to volunteer but when parents of a particular sport work a game, a portion of concessions sales directly benefit that team. If you are not able to help directly at home games, there are many ways you can get involved with the Atoms Athletics Boosters by attending our monthly meetings or being a team liaison. Thank you for your support for Atom’s Athletics!
For questions about concession stand sign ups, contact Odessa Murray.
