Heritage Edges Potomac Falls in Crowd Pleaser

Sterling (Sept. 7, 2007) – Heritage coach Carmel Keilty and Potomac Falls coach Linda Lachey-Helms have faced each other many times over almost 20 seasons, but it is hard to imagine their teams being involved in a more entertaining match than Thursday’s AA Dulles District opener won by Heritage, 27-29, 25-23, 26-24, 25-23.


As Lachey-Helms reports, the match simply proved that “Loudoun county is a volleyball powerhouse in the state of Virginia.”


Or in even simpler terms … Keilty’s response to the tense match was “wow!”


Junior Ashley Scott led Heritage with 14 kills and 22 digs. Senior Gaby Galvan added 12 kills. On the defense for the Pride, sophomores Emma McLaughlin and Megan Beckwith both had 18 digs.


Heritage’s senior setter Rebecca Presor notched 32 assists and McLaughlin (12 service points) and senior Melissa McCandless (8 service points) had good nights serving.


For Potomac Falls, freshman Tori Janowski had another all-around evening with 16 kills, 19 assists, 23 digs, nine aces with 11 service points and three blocks. Junior Cat Jones had eight kills and 10 blocks and junior Sara Hibson had seven kills and 15 digs.


Also for the Panthers, junior Kerry Dwyer led in passing and had 27 digs and two aces with 10 service points, and junior Kate Colfelt had six kills, four blocks,  17 digs and an ace with 10 service points. Junior Emma Ukleja had three blocks and two kills and sophomore Nicole Fautuex had three kills, two blocks and 21 assists.


“I was extremely proud of our young team staying focused and aggressive right to the end of every game,” reported Lachey-Helms.


Potomac Falls (0-1, 2-1) travels to Loudoun County next Tuesday, while Heritage (1-0, 3-1) hosts Park View.

Heritage Edges Potomac Falls in Crowd Pleaser

Sterling (Sept. 7, 2007) – Heritage coach Carmel Keilty and Potomac
Falls coach Linda Lachey-Helms have faced each other many times over
almost 20 seasons, but it is hard to imagine their teams being involved
in a more entertaining match than Thursday’s AA Dulles District opener
won by Heritage, 27-29, 25-23, 26-24, 25-23.

As Lachey-Helms reports, the match simply proved that “Loudoun county is a volleyball powerhouse in the state of Virginia.”

Or in even simpler terms … Keilty’s response to the tense match was “wow!”

Junior Ashley Scott led Heritage with 14 kills and 22 digs. Senior
Gaby Galvan added 12 kills. On the defense for the Pride, sophomores
Emma McLaughlin and Megan Beckwith both had 18 digs.

Heritage’s senior setter Rebecca Presor notched 32 assists and
McLaughlin (12 service points) and senior Melissa McCandless (8 service
points) had good nights serving.

For Potomac Falls, freshman Tori Janowski had another all-around
evening with 16 kills, 19 assists, 23 digs, nine aces with 11 service

The Skinny

Posted on 07 September 2007 by donna0427.

 

No. 1 Stone Bridge (1-0) @ Robinson (1-0)

Last week: SB defeated West Springfield, 56-36; Robinson defeated Lake Braddock, 21-0

The Skinny: The Bulldogs have won 19 consecutive regular season
games dating back to Sept. 16, 2005, and 44 of 45 regular-season
contests dating back to Oct. 20, 2002, but they face a tough road test
against AAA power Rams. SB must limit early turnovers that put them in
a hole against West Springfield. Robinson must do something must teams
can’t … figure out the single wing. If you go to the snack bar during
this game you might miss a score … or two.

 

No. 2 Park View (1-0) @ Jefferson WV (0-2), 7 PM

Last week: Park View defeated Herndon 37-7; Jefferson lost to Sherando, 7-0

The Skinny: Air Patriots heads to Shenandoah Junction for the latest
installment of the Loudoun-West Virginia border war. PV won last year
21-12 with Deric Dudinski at running back. This year the Cougars better
be ready to cover PV’s talented receiving group, especially tight end
Kenny Smith. Thomas Mulabah and PV defense will look for another
near-shutout victim.

 

Ballou DC (1-0) @ No. 3 Broad Run (1-0)

Last week: Ballou Defeated Bishop McNamara 14-7; Broad Run defeated Wakefield, 48-14

The Skinny: Wakefield didn’t bring much to the table last week …
in fact, we hear they went for it on 4th-and-75 from their own goal
line … well, not really, but you get the point. Ballou should be more
of a challenge but the Spartans will control the line of scrimmage and
may look to drain the clock with a run game. Then again … BR has
plenty of passing options with QBs Cole Shain and Chris Jessop. Ballou
won the DC title game last year but lost some of its stars. They should
still give BR a run for its money tonight in Ashburn.

 

Forest Park (0-0) @ No. 4 Loudoun Valley (0-0)

Last week: Both idle

The Skinny: New region for Vikes. New district for Vikes. New
offense for Vikes. Facing a new school (sort of) in the opener. New.
New. New. But is it improved? We shall find out tonight in the
Chick-fill-A Game of the Week.

 

Hedgesville WV (0-2) vs. No. 7 Potomac Falls (0-1)

Last week: Hedgesville lost to Berkeley Springs 28-12 ; Potomac Falls lost to Martinsburg 34-6

The Skinny: Panthers had a rough opener against Martinsburg with
just over 100 total yards and only a late score to avoid a shutout.
Hedgesville hasn’t looked sharp in its first two games, including a
season-opening loss to Briar Woods at home. Panthers need a good win to
prove that last week was just a case of running into a top-notch
Martinsville team. Look for the Woodlief-to-McMichael passing combo.

 

No. 8 Heritage (0-1) @ North Hagerstown MD (0-0)

Last week: Heritage lost to South Lakes 12-7; North Hagerstown idle

The Skinny: Pride had a running back take the snaps last week with
the top two QBs out of action but they hope to get back starter Kyle
Nelson this week. North Hagerstown nickname is the Hubs … this must
make sense to somebody in Maryland … frankly, another reason we just
don’t cross the Potomac River.

 

Brentsville @ No. 9 Freedom (0-1)

Last week: Brentsville idle; Freedom lost to Broadway 28-6

The Skinny: Not a smooth start to 2007 for the Eagles as they gave
up almost 250 yards of rushing to one back. Look for starting Freedom
QB Allen Seaquist to make some noise against the Tigers. We think
Seaquist should study oceanography in college … just fits.
