Fall Weekly Recaps
Girls Volleyball went 1-1 in their two district matches this week. The Atoms started off with a dominating 3-0 sweep over Falls Church on Tuesday evening! It was a quick turnaround as the Atoms hosted Hayfield Wednesday night for Dig Pink Night. The fans were treated to a great back and forth game throughout the first four sets that saw the game tied at 2-2. The fifth set was a nailbiter as both teams traded points before the Hawks were able to secure two more points to get the 15-13 set win. The Atoms look to finish strong in their final week of the regular season when they travel to Mt. Vernon Monday evening.
Boys Volleyball played two district opponents this week. The Atoms were unable to get on the winning side of either game but continue to work hard and get better. The Atoms pushed the Jaguars in each set but couldn't get past them to win a set in their match Tuesday evening. Thursday saw the Hawks soar away for the district win. The Atoms welcome Mt. Vernon to campus Monday evening.
Field Hockey played their final regular season game vs Mt. Vernon Tuesday evening for senior night. The Atoms honored their three seniors before the game and then honored them with their final regular season win as they held off the Majors 1-0. The Atoms hosted Lewis in the quarterfinals of the National District and dispatched of the Lancers quickly as they ended the game after three quarters with a 7-0 mercy win.
Football hosted Hayfield Friday evening. The Atoms trailed early in the second quarter and were driving on offense before mother nature caused a delay for forty-five minutes. The delay halted the drive when the Atoms returned and the Hawks soared from there on their way to a district win. The Atoms travel to Lewis for their final road test of the regular season Friday evening.
Boys and Girls Cross Country had their final tune up of the season Wednesday at Burke Lake. The Atoms treated the final tune up as an opportunity to keep their legs loose as they prepare for the District Championship Wednesday at Burke Lake.
Cheerleading competed in the prelims of the National District Championships Wednesday evening at Hayfield. The Atoms gave a great effort throughout the performance! They are now preparing for the upcoming finals on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm at Hayfield!
Flag Football traveled to Justice Wednesday evening to play two more games. The Atoms took on the Wolves in their first game and came away with an exciting 13-12 win! Next up was a game that mirrored the first in terms of excitement as the Atoms took down the Jaguars 7-6! The Atoms travel to Alexandria City Tuesday.
