Sports
Arlington high schools have a full week of sports ahead.
Key events include Friday night football games as well as field hockey matches, and cross country meets, as well as volleyball and soccer competitions. Teams from Washington-Liberty, Yorktown, Wakefield, and Bishop O’Connell will be in action throughout the week.
There were two reasons to celebrate for the Washington-Liberty Generals at the conclusion of the recent Liberty District golf tournament.
The Generals won the high-school competition for the first time, compiling a two-day, 36-hole team score of 304-294–598, winning by nine strokes over the nine-time defending champion Langley Saxons (307-300–607) on the Herndon Centennial Golf Course.
