The family of the 19-year-old killed in an October 2024 car crash has settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the driver and members of his family.
An Arlington circuit court judge approved the settlement between Michael Rados, the father of Nicholas Rados, and Brooks Bare in court last week, online court records showed.
Numerous Arlington athletes were represented on public and private “all-state” high school teams for success in the winter season.
In basketball on the public-school level, there was one Arlington player each chosen for girls and boys Virginia High School League Class 6 all-state teams. That hasn’t happened frequently over the years.
Athletes for the Wakefield Warriors boys and Washington-Liberty girls track-and-field teams endured cold and wind during an early-season outdoor meet to win the Arlington County championships.
The high-school meet took place March 28 at Bishop O’Connell in weather conditions more suitable for the winter’s indoor season.
A couple of top-five finishes and a notable performance by a freshman highlighted Arlington participation in the Virginia High School League’s Class 6 boys state wrestling tournament.
Fifth-place finishers in Virginia Beach were junior Anthony Morales at 175 pounds for the Wakefield Warriors and senior Zachary Capps at 150 for the Washington-Liberty Generals. Each finished with 4-2 records at the state tourney, with a technical fall and pin among their victories.
Last spring’s postseason results were the most successful ever in the same season for Arlington’s high-school varsity soccer teams.
Of those six public-school squads, three played in region-tournament championship matches — one winning a title — and all three advanced to Class 6 state tournaments.
Eleanor Mahshie and Eve Yungman are normally rivals on the basketball court. But they capped their standout high-school basketball careers by being teammates on the same squad in a season-ending all-star game.
The Arlington residents and seniors were members of the 6D North Region girls squad in the long-running annual Northern Virginia Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s (NVWBCA) Suburban Classic All-Star Games. The two contests — for seniors only — played March 15 at Oakton High School.
The storms haven’t even arrived yet but there’s already a power outage in Arlington.
About 1,000 Dominion customers are without power in the Ballston area due to an “equipment problem,” according to the power company’s website.
For a second consecutive week, an Arlington Public Schools alum will be making an appearance on “Jeopardy!”
Lydia Cawley, a 2016 graduate of Washington-Lee High School (now Washington-Liberty High School), will be one of three contestants competing on the trivia show on Thursday night.
Field events were where Arlington athletes enjoyed the biggest success during the recent 6D North Region and Class 6 state indoor track and field high-school meets.
In those competitions — held in Landover, Md. (region) and Virginia Beach (state) — county athletes won three events and had top-10 finishes in many more.
The high-school basketball season ended abruptly for the final three Arlington public varsity teams still alive in postseason action with first-round losses in the 6D North Region tournaments.
In girls action, the Washington-Liberty Generals and Yorktown Patriots were defeated. On the boys side, Yorktown lost, as well:
The Yorktown Patriots dominated the girls competition last month to win the latest in a recent string of state swimming/diving championships.
Yorktown won the 2026 Virginia High School League’s Class 6 state crown with 300.5 points, 118.5 more than the runner-up Robinson Rams, the night of Feb. 21 at the Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center in Stafford.
The Marshall Statesmen proved to be kryptonite for the Yorktown Patriots boys basketball squad this season.
If not for Marshall, Yorktown would have gone undefeated in the Liberty District regular-season play, then might have won the league’s postseason high-school tournament, as well.
