Atoms Athletics Recap
Baseball opened the season with two games this week. Opening day saw the Atoms welcome Justice to Atoms Park. The Atoms had a rough day in the field thanks to some high winds and coupled that with hot bats from the Wolves, led to a 9-5 loss. The second game of the week was a road game to Mount Vernon. Unfortunately, the Atoms came away with a loss as they couldn't get anything going at the plate to fall to the Majors. JV Atoms beat Justice in their first game Tuesday but fell to Mt. Vernon Friday evening. The Atoms take on Falls Church Tuesday evening.
Softball played three games to get their season underway this week. The Atoms took care of Justice in their opening game Monday evening 12-2 to get Coach Morgan Neild her first victory as a head coach. The Atoms took on Meridian Wednesday but a different result this time as the Mustangs took a win back to Falls Church City. The final game of the week was a road game at Mount Vernon. The Atoms played hard and took care of business to come home with an 11-9 district win! The JV Atoms went 1-1 this week with a 20-9 win over Justice but fell to Meridian in their second game. Game vs Falls Church is next.
Boys Lacrosse got their season off to a winning way as they matched up with Osbourn for their opening game Monday. The Atoms got up early and took care of business as they finished off the Eagle 11-6. Game two of the week welcomed Marshall to town. This was a different story as the Statesmen scored early and often to take down a gritty Atoms. JV Atoms continue to work on improvement and development as they fell in both of their games this week. Next up for the Atoms is a game with South Lakes
Girls Lacrosse traveled to Marshal to open their season. The Atoms were unable to keep up with the Statesmen on the scoreboard as they came home with a non-district loss. The Atoms have their home opener Friday as they welcome South Lakes to Annandale. JV Atoms played hard vs Marshall but came away with a loss.
Boys Soccer had three matches to start their 25 season off. Game one was a road trip to Forest Park. The game was a competitive back and forth match with the Atoms falling short 3-2. A quick turnaround to Tuesday, welcoming the Meridian Mustangs to Annandale. This was a tight game throughout with a team that is a perennial state contender on the 3A level and one that saw the Atoms score a late goal to get a 1-0 win! The final game of the week vs Washington-Liberty was Thursday evening. It was a sluggish start that doomed the Atoms as the Generals scored 3 goals in the first half. The Atoms battled in the second half but came up short in a 5-3 loss. JV Atoms went 1-0-2 this week in their respective games. Next up is Westfield Tuesday.
Girls Soccer got underway with two games in their opening week. Game one was a bus ride to Meridian. The Atoms looked a team on a mission as they dismantled the Mustangs to come home with a 4-1 win! Next up was another bus ride but this time to W-L. It was a competitive back and forth game but unfortunately the Generals were able to sneak a couple into the net to win 2-0. The JV Atoms played hard in their opening week but came away with two losses. Next is another road test at Westfield Tuesday.
Boys Tennis opening their season with Falls Church. A young team lies ahead for the Atoms as they have one senior and the opening match saw the youth as the Atoms fell 9-0 to the Jaguars. However, the youth of the Atoms contains a lot of talent and they will grow as the season goes along. The Atoms play a rescheduled match Monday vs Hayfield.
Girls Tennis traveled to Falls Church Tuesday evening to start their 25 campaign. The Atoms battled in each of their matches vs Jaguars but came up short falling 6-3. The Atoms roster makeup is similar to the boys with youth across the board but have high hopes for continuous improvement and growth. Next up is a makeup date with a road trip to Hayfield Monday
Outdoor Track started their season with a meet at Falls Church Wednesday evening. The Atoms had some impressive showings in their first meet and look to build as they attempt to make a run at a district championship meet in May. They travel to TJ Wednesday for their second meet of the season.

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.
