Softball took on Falls Church and Hayfield this past week. Game one was a trip to Falls Church. The Jaguars got up early and cruised to a district win over the Atoms. Thursday wasn't much different as the Atoms welcomed Hayfield to campus and saw the Hawks soar away in the win. The Atoms return to the dirt Tuesday at Mt. Vernon, JV travels to Justice Monday.
Boys Lacrosse had their lone game of the week vs Fairfax Trinity Wednesday evening. The Atoms hung tough early but the Gryphons were too much as they showed their strength and ran away with a non-district win. The Atoms return home on Tuesday vs Lewis.
Girls Lacrosse did not play this week. Next game is a trip to Lewis Tuesday.
