Ashburn (Oct. 12, 2007) – For the second time this season the Broad Run High School volleyball team defeated Heritage in four games. The two matches, however, were nothing alike as the Pride displayed an incredible defense on Thursday and proved just how much the young team has matured.
For as much as Heritage (7-3, 12-4) has improved … Broad Run (9-1, 15-1), with its potent attack, has improved just as much and that is why the Spartans remain with a chance to win the AA Dulles District title if they can knock off undefeated Loudoun County when they meet tonight in Leesburg. A win by Broad Run would force a potential playoff if both teams win out, but that could be a big if as County still have to face Heritage and Broad Run will take on Potomac Falls.
“We really want to beat them this time,” said Broad Run setter Kristen Burt about tonight’s match-up with the Raiders, a team that defeated Broad Run in Ashburn last month.
Burt was big factor in Broad Run’s win Thursday to set-up tonight’s showdown as she had 35 assists, setting the table for the Spartans senior super spikers, Brooke Bauernfeind (17 kills) and Lauren Sears (14 kills).
Sears had a big service night with 15 points while Bauernfeind fired four aces. BR also had a nice night in the middle from Elisa Scudder who led BR with five blocks and Lizzie Deane was her usual efficient self along the backrow with 14 digs.
“The fact is we have both gotten better since the last time we played each other,” said Burt about the Heritage match won by Broad Run, 25-14, 19-25, 25-17, 25-22.
The balance Pride attack had six kills each from Gaby Galvan and Ashley Scott and four kills each from Lian Bernett and Emma LeMaitre. Rebecca Presor and Melissa McCandless split the setting duties, combing for 29 assists.
Scott led the Pride with 14 digs and Galvan added 12. If the ball was still in the gym, the Heritage players were going after it. Scott had two solo blocks and Bernett, Galvan and LeMaitre did some nice combination blocking.
Bernett led Heritage with 11 points and McCandless had eight.
“I think they finally realized that they can reach a different level,” said Heritage coach Carmel Keilty.
While Broad Run cruised for the most part in game one, Heritage battled back to tie it. In the crucial third game, things were tied up at 14-14 when Deane had a nice serve to put the Spartans ahead and then Sears wrapped around a Burt set and put the ball away for a 16-14 lead.
Heritage got a point back with Scott tooling the BR block, but Sears, bound for Southern Miss next year, spanked a **** to put the serve in Burt’s hands. She served four straight points to put BR in control with most of the points coming from the Heritage offense unable to get things going because of Burt’s good serve.
Galvan made it 20-16 with a **** but again Broad Run would not allow Heritage to string any points together as Sears slammed a **** off the backrow defense and then, with Jayla Fincher serving, Bauernfeind placed a heady dink for a point and Fincher laced an ace to make it 23-16.
Heritage got one more opportunity to serve but Sears again was there to stop any Pride flow with a **** and then she served the final point scored on a solo block by Scudder.
Broad Run kept right on going in the fourth game, jumping out to a 9-3 lead, but Heritage clawed back and was able to take the lead at 17-14 with Presor serving three straight points for the advantage.
Sears stopped the rally with a **** and then served three straight points with Melissa Miles notching a ****.
The two teams traded points but BR went up 21-19 after Carolyn Pearce dumped a ball over to end a thrilling rally during which the Pride had several highlight reel digs.
Keilty called time out and Heritage was able to get the serve back on a crosscourt **** by Bernett but once again BR caught a break on a Heritage service error and they took advantage by scoring on a Scudder **** off a Burt short set and then a blistering Bauernfeind shot.
Trailing 24-21, Heritage put two points up with Presor dumping a set over for a point and then Scott again smarly tooling the block but BR ended the match with a statement of power, another Bauernfeind high velocity ****.

Ashburn (Oct. 9, 2007) – If it wasn’t for a perfectly-executed trick play Friday night the Broad Run and Heritage football teams might still be locked in a defensive struggle. The game was tied at 10-10 with less than four minutes to go, and seemed destined for overtime, but that was before Broad Run dug deep into its playbook to remain undefeated with a 17-10 AA Dulles District victory.
“We have (trick plays) in the playbook, we just don’t want to use them. That one was probably only good once a year,” said Broad Run coach Michael Burnett, who has turned the Spartan program around since taking over the reigns last season.
Broad Run, 1-9 in 2005, went 5-5 in Burnett’s first season in 2006 and the Spartans are now 2-0 in district and 5-0 for the first time in recent memory. Broad Run sandwiched geographically between perennial playoff teams Stone Bridge and Park View, is looking for its first postseason action since 1991.
Heritage (1-1, 3-2) had held the Spartans to one first down in the second half when the subterfuge broke things open.
Facing 2nd-and-9 from their own 46, the Spartans put both of their quarterbacks on the field with senior Cole Shain taking the snap and junior Chris Jessop lining up at receiver. Shain then handed it to junior running back Breon Earl sweeping towards the packed home stands. Earl then reversed the ball to Jessop, who pulled up after a couple of steps, and found Earl running down the Spartan sidelines for a 29-yard gain to the Pride 25.
“There was only one option on the play and that was to Breon,” said Jessop.
Considering that junior kicker Graham Allen had booted a 40-yarder in the final minute of the first half, the Spartans only needed a couple of yards to get in game-winning field goal range, but the BR backs, led by Earl, junior Kenny McAdow and senior Billy Rocca, weren’t taking any chances and they chewed up the 25 yards in five plays, along with the aid of Heritage’s defense jumping offsides for the fourth time on the night.
McAdow, who had a big game on defense, including a key open field stop to halt Heritage in Spartan territory just before the bit of trickery, took it the final two carries, plowing in from the 2 on 3rd-and- 1 with just 1:22 remaining in the contest.
“We go through 12 months of intense training because of Friday night’s like this,” said McAdow.
On a night where every yard on the ground was earned by both teams, McAdow finished with 66 yards on nine carries with Earl gaining 49 on 19 attempts and Rocca 29 on seven attempts. Ross Madison led Heritage with 49 yards on 12 attempts and he scored the Pride’s only touchdown on a 21-yard swing pass from senior Kyle Nelson on Heritage’s first drive of the game.
“A lot of people didn’t think we should be on the field with them,” said Heritage coach Wes Driskill. “My guys played their butts off.”
After halting Broad Run on its first drive, Nelson (13 of 24 for 127 yards) guided the Pride on a quick four-play, 46-yard touchdown drive. Nelson picked up 16 on a keeper on the first play and then gained three yards. Madison turned the corner for six more yards before Nelson floated a pass to the left and Madison grabbed it and went 21 yards for the touchdown.
Broad Run, which started Jessop ( 4 of 4, 33 yards) on the first drive, came back behind Shain (5 of 11, 66 yards) on the next drive, and he took the team 65 yards on nine plays to even the score at 7-7. Key plays in the drive included a 24-yard Shain to McAdow pass, and runs of 11 and 6 yards by Rocca behind the blocking of McAdow.
Facing 3rd-and-7 from the Pride 13 after a motion penalty, the Spartans got five back when Heritage jumped offsides on a hard count. McAdow took the next handoff and was stopped just short of the goal line. On the next play, Shain sneaked in for the score.
Both defenses, Broad Run’s led by McAdow, Rocca and George Black, and Heritage’s led by Nick Cadwell and Madison, owned almost the rest of the night.
Heritage had its next two drives stopped on sacks. The drive made it to the Broad Run 39 before Bryan Morrison and Black sacked Nelson on 3rd-and-6. The next drive made it to the Broad Run 25 but Black and McAdow threw Nelson for an 11-yard loss on 3rd-and-9.
The Pride elected to punt from the 36 to pin Broad Run deep rather than going for it on 4th-and-20. Chris Rossie put Broad Run on its own 10 with a nice punt, but the Spartans managed a scoring drive that ate up seven minutes and appeared doomed on several occasions.
To start, Broad Run was looking at 2nd-and-14 from their own six when Shain found Tommy Meier for a gain of 13 and some breathing room. On 3rd-and-1, McAdow was big again, gaining 13 after busting loose on a dive play.
Then on 4th-and-8, Heritage jumped off sides to give the Spartans a chance at picking up the first down and Burnett rolled the dice and went for it from his own 39, giving it to Earl, who needed a second effort to pick up the first down the length of half the football.
A blindside sack by a blitzing Cadwell on Shain put Broad Run in third-and-long again from the 50, but sophomore receiver Adrian Flemming turned a short gain on a quick pass into 13 yards by breaking several tackles. That left 4th-and-1 from the Pride 37 and Shain kept it for the first down.
On the next play with 1:23 remaining in the half, disaster almost struck for the Spartans as a Heritage defensive back jumped a sideline pattern, but he couldn’t hold on for the interception and possible quick six the other way.
The Spartans took that second life and worked into field goal range with Shain and Meier hooking up gain, this time for 10, and Earl gaining six. Heritage’s 292-pound defensive tackle Sharewan Salih stalled the drive by grabbing the 150-pound Earl and tossing him back into the backfield for a 4-yard loss. After an incompletion, Allen calmly made it 10-7 Broad Run with a 40-yard field goal with 36 seconds left in the half.
Much as they had started the game, Heritage came out strong on offense in the second half, moving the ball 69 yards on 11 plays. The Pride served up a mixture of Madison running plays and Nelson passes to Michael Massey and Bryan McCarthy.
A Nelson scramble for 15 yards plus a late hit penalty gave the Pride 1st-and-goal at the BR 4 but Heritage could not punch the ball in. Madison was swarmed on first down for no gain and then Nelson had back-to-back incompletions including a ball dropped at the goal line. The settled for Josh Thiel’s 21-yard field goal to tie the game at 10-10 with 8:12 to go in the third quarter.
On the next two drives for both teams, similar things happened. Broad Run was stopped on fourth down attempts, first on the Heritage 41 when Earl slipped trying to make a first down on 4th-and-2 and then on 4th-and-1 from the Heritage 46 when Cadwell stormed into the backfield to halt Earl for a loss.
“They were just able to get stops on us. I was impressed with their defensive effort,” said Burnett.
Heritage had two punts partially blocked and this would be key, perhaps, in a late decision to fake a punt prior to Broad Run’s game-wining drive. The first partial block gave BR the ball at midfield at the end of the third quarter but the Pride defense held. The next partial block was actually just a finger tip on the ball but that was important as two Spartans took out the Heritage punter. A roughing call would have given the Pride first down on the Spartan 38 but since the ball was touched there was no penalty.
After forcing BR to three-and-out, Heritage took over in great field position, at the Broad Run 45 with 6:51 left in the game. On 2nd-and12, Nelson found Massey for eight yards and then on third down, it looked like Heritage would move the chains as Nelson hit Curtis Rustin on a crossing route, but McAdow made the stop for a 1-yard loss.
“He’s a special kid on both sides of the ball,” said Burnett about the 5-foot-10, 200-pound McAdow.
On 4th-and-5 from the Broad Run 40, it appeared that Heritage wanted to attempt a fake punt, but there was some confusion and a low snap to Chris Groomes resulted in a 5-yard loss. Just two plays later, it was Broad Run’s trick play that broke the game open.
“I tip my hat to Heritage. We had to earn everything,” said Burnett.
Despite the bitter defeat, Driskill was keeping hopes alive to come back for the district title, such as the Pride did two years ago when they tied Park View for the Dulles crown. Heritage did not make the playoffs that year and the Pride are looking for the school’s first trip to postseason since opening in 2002.
“We are not out of this. There are still some playoff spots left,” said Driskill.
Broad Run travels to Dominion next week, while Heritage hosts Freedom.

Leesburg (Oct. 4, 2007) – Last year the Loudoun County and Heritage volleyball teams had an epic series of matches, meeting twice in the regular season, in a special one-game playoff after tying for the AA Dulles District regular-season title, in the district finals and then in the Region II finals. The Raiders had the upperhand in four of the last five meetings and that trend continued Tuesday as Loudoun County swept the Pride in their gym, 25-14, 25-23, 25-15.
The undefeated Raiders (7-0, 13-0) have not lost a regular-season match since falling to the Pride (5-2, 9-3) a year ago, a streak now of 22 matches. Overall LC, the 2006 AA state runner-up, has now won 31 of 32 matches and has a record of 40-3 since the start of 2006.
In Tuesday’s match, leading a balanced Raider attack were junior Shaylin O’Connell who had 11 kills and three blocks. Other key contributors included senior Marguerite Hanna (7 kills, 10 digs, 15 service points, 6 aces), senior Morgan Petkovich (10 kills, 7 digs, 9 points, 3 aces), sophomore Juliane Hanna (10 kills), junior Sara Reilly (3 kills, 4 solo blocks), junior Kerry Sarver (24 assists, 5 digs), junior Rochelle Latka (12 assists), and senior Rebecca Dancy (26 digs, 4 aces).
Heritage was led by junior Ashley Scott (9 kills, 7 digs, 5 points), senior Gaby Galvan (7 kills, 5 digs, 5 digs), freshman Lian Bernett (10 points) and sophomore Megan Beckwith (16 digs).
On Thursday, LC hosts Park View while Heritage’ s next match is also against the Patriots, next Tuesday in Sterling.

Leesburg (Oct. 2, 2007) – The Heritage High School defense limited Potomac Falls to 174 total yards and kept the Panthers out of the end zone to open AA Dulles District play last Friday with a 15-0 shutout.
The Pride’s starting quarterback Kyle Nelson was back healthy for the first time all season and he threw two first-half touchdowns, one a 30-yarder to Mike Massey and the other a 5-yard toss to Darius Tibbs, and the Heritage defense, which didn’t give PF time to throw all night, made those two scores stand up.
Heritage running back Ross Madison rushed for 112 yards on 18 carries and Nelson was 4 of 14 for 72 yards and an interception. Nelson and back-up Zach Gordon were both injured when Heritage lost its opener to South Lakes with Madison as the make-shift qb. Gordon did well in victories over North Hagerstown MD and Brentsville and now Nelson is back.
Massey finished with two receptions for 38 yards and Tibbs had two for 34.
Defensively, Chris Groomes led the Pride with 14 tackles and Nick Cadwell had 11 tackles, including three sacks. Ben Stroud registered 12 tackles.
PF quarterback Greg Woodlief was 7 of 16 for 55 yards and his replacement in the fourth quarter, Michael Fahey, was 3 of 4 for 22 yards and an interception.
Heritage limited PF top receiver Chad McMichael to three receptions for 28 yards. Chris Pelto had four catches for 29 yards, while Tarrell Owens had three grabs for 20.
Michael Baker led the Panthers with 88 yards rushing while the athletic Woodlief was credited with just nine yards on 13 attempts because of lost yardage on sacks.
Heritage (1-0, 3-1) travels to Broad Run (1-0, 4-0) in a showdown for first place in the district. Potomac Falls (0-1, 1-3) hosts Loudoun County (0-1, 0-4) in what would be a match-up of winless teams save for the Panthers forfeit over Martinsburg WV after the West Virginia team used an ineligible player in the contest.
