Dominating its competition at times, the Yorktown Patriots finished a fourth straight regular season undefeated against district field-hockey rivals.
Yorktown (11-3 overall) was 6-0 and outscored Liberty District opponents, 26-1 with five shutouts, in play this fall. The Patriots will be the top seed in the seven-team district tournament, a competition they have won three straight times with 2-0 records each year, and have a first-round bye.

Their fifth-place finish wasn’t what they hoped for. Yet the experience of just playing in the state golf tournament for the first time was notable for the Washington-Liberty Generals.
The squad capped its best season in program history with a 324 team score on a chilly and windy day at the Virginia High School League one-day, 18-hole Class 6 state tourney Oct. 15. The event was held on the par-72 Norman course at the Lansdowne Resort in Loudoun County.

Decades of preparation were put to the test when Arlington’s public-safety community came face to face with chaos last December.

Most people who try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu say they wish they’d started sooner. Today is the day to begin. Almost everyone walks in for the first time unsure of what to expect. The coaches and students at EvolveAll remember that feeling well and they’re there to guide you through it.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art focused on ground fighting and submission grappling. Sparring at EvolveAll happens every class, with real intensity. Every roll is a live, resistance-based puzzle with a training partner. EvolveAll is not a competition school. Instead, they’re focused on the growth and development of each person on the mat.
