After a standout regular season, the Arlington Travel Basketball League’s Division I fifth-grade Commandos boys team capped its winter campaign by winning a championship in the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League playoffs.

By recently winning its 10th game this spring, the Marymount University Saints baseball team has achieved double-digit victories for 11 straight seasons.

It was a tall order for the Washington-Liberty Generals to defeat the host and perennial baseball power Madison Warhawks in the opening game of the squad’s 2025 high-school season.

As expected, the Bishop O’Connell Knights have been enjoying a strong and dominating start to the girls high-school softball spring season.
