Athletes of The Week


Congratulations to the following athletes for earning AOTW for the week of October 12th!


capri

 

CAPRI SWINTON - Flag Football 🏈

Capri has been an absolute standout on the gridiron, delivering explosive plays on both sides of the ball and leading Herndon Flag Football with high energy and exceptional athleticism. Whether making key receptions, breaking into open space, or extending drives, Capri’s speed, route-running, and field vision make her a constant threat to score every time she touches the ball. Good job Capri!


LUKE

 

LUKE BAKER - B Volleyball 🏐

Luke has been an indispensable asset for the Hornets on the volleyball court, consistently delivering big plays in clutch moments and anchoring the team's offense and defense. Known for his heavy arm swing, smart shot selection, and high volleyball IQ, Luke drives the team's scoring efficiency, consistently finding court gaps and terminating rallies with authority. Well done Luke!!



Reminders



Varsity Football Games *Weapons Screening 

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is taking additional steps this year to help ensure that our athletic events remain safe for students, families, staff, and community members by introducing  security screenings of all spectators at our varsity football games.

We will be using the existing weapons screening systems that our students pass through every morning in our schools. In addition, we will be implementing a standardized bag policy to help support a smooth and efficient entry process. Students, family members, and all spectators are reminded that the following items are prohibited:

  • Backpacks
  • Purse
  • Fanny pack
  • Tote bags
  • Outside food and beverage
  • Sporting equipment (balls, bats, sticks, etc.)
  • Any item prohibited by FCPS policy, or determined by event staff to present safety concerns

Approved bags are limited to:

  • Clear plastic, vinyl, or pvc bags no larger than 12”6”x12”
  • Small clutch bag no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”
  • Medical and diaper bags permitted but subject to inspection

As a reminder, middle-school students and younger, must be accompanied by a responsible adult who remains with the student(s) at the event.
