Atoms Athletics Recap
Baseball was back on the diamond this week with two district games vs Falls Church and Hayfield. Game one of the week saw the Atoms travel to the Church. The Atoms can't are looking forward to warmer weather to hopefully heat up the bats as they continued to stay cold vs the Jaguars, who took care of business to get the district win. Friday evening saw a home date with the Hayfield Hawks. The Hawks pitching and hitting dominated the Atoms throughout the night. The Atoms played gritty but couldn't hold the Hawks at bay to drop their second game of the week. The JV Atoms continue to improve and play hard but fell short in both of their games this week. The Atoms play Justice on Tuesday.
Softball made a short trip up 495 to Falls Church Tuesday evening and came home with an impressive 11-7 win over the Jaguars. The Atoms played a great all around game to secure the district win and move to 3-0 in district play to start the season. Next was a home game vs Hayfield Friday evening. The Hawks showed why they are perennial contender to win the district every year as they got up early on the Atoms and ran away with a district win. The JV Atoms continue to improve as they defeated Falls Church but fell to the Hawks this week. Next up is a date with Justice.
Boys Lacrosse took a drive over to Reston to face off with South Lakes. The Atoms kept it close early but the Seahawks were too much for the Atoms as they sent the team back to Annandale with a non-district loss. The Atoms welcome Hayfield to school for their district opener Tuesday.
Girls Lacrosse took on a tough South Lakes team Friday evening. The Atoms were no match the Seahawks as they took an early lead and never looked back. The Atoms played hard throughout and now prep for their first district game of the season on Tuesday vs Hayfield.

The Atoms have an extended break between games and return to the field Friday when they welcome Hayfield to campus.
Girls Soccer traveled to Westfield Tuesday evening. The game was a tough back and forth with the Atoms missing a couple scoring chances to get on the board.

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.
