For Maddy DeCou, the chance to coach for the college basketball team where she played was too good an opportunity to pass up.
So the head coach of the Washington-Liberty Generals girls high-school hoop team the past two seasons made the tough decision. She stepped down, accepting a job as an assistant coach in the same sport for Arlington’s nearby Division III Marymount University women’s team.

Having difficulty winning close games against quality opponents is no longer an issue this season for the Washington-Liberty Generals boys lacrosse team.
Recent road victories over the Herndon Hornets and Lake Braddock Bruins by 11-9 and 9-6 scores, respectively, put that matter to rest, as the high-school team has its best record in years at 10-2.

With most of the finals in each race canceled because of afternoon thunderstorms, the Wakefield Warriors’ crew program still had a strong showing at the annual Al Urquia Regatta.
The high-school event was Saturday (April 26) on the Occoquan River, and was the first regatta of the season for Wakefield.
The two-day, 36-hole women’s event was held at Waynesboro Country Club in Pennsylvania. Although finishing second, Marymount did not earn a berth to participate in the NCAA Division III tournament.
