TK chatting with Jenna Smoot - what did she do with her Cape ? ALTAVISTA - Strasburg rallied late in Game 5 of their match Thursday night against Altavista to punch a return ticket to the Class A State Tournament. The Rams were trailing in the deciding game 13-8 but closed the match out with a 9-2 (17-15) run sparked by junior Jenna Smoot . The next match for Coach Suzanne Mathias and her Rams will be Saturday night in Fishersville against Shenandoah District Champion Wilson Memorial. WMHS advanced to the Region B finals by defeating Nelson County 3-1 and will remain home to face Strasburg . Jim Sacco and the News Virginian were up in Fishersville and you can check out the results from that match by clicking on http://www.newsvirginian.com/ later this evening. I am sure that Jim will post on his blog (Daily Pooch Punt) about the events as well. Back to Altavista, where Tommy Keeler of the Northern Virginia Daily was on hand to cover the match for the young Rams squad. There ar...

Vs. After getting all prepared for a Thursday afternoon trip down and over to Charlotte Court House for the Semi-Final match between visiting Strasburg and host Randolph-Henry, I discovered there had been a change in plans. ______________ Altavista would prove to be not only the sole District Runner-Up to win a game but the Colonels actually upset the James River District Champions (R-H). Luray played Strasburg tough, Goochland gave its best at Nelson County and Rapp served at game point at Wilson (Game 2) but all three matches ended at 3-0. ______________ Altavista now returns to the point of Region B play where they were elimanated last year. Playing on the road at Rapp , the Lady Colonels jumped out to an early lead but could not keep the Lady Panthers from moving on. This time they will try it again without the long bus ride before the match when they host Strasburg at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday. ______________ The second semi-final match will take place at Wilson Memorial on ...

Greg Maddux made it 18 Gold Gloves in 19 years after splitting time between San Diego and Los Angles. Really neat part of the Award was seeing the highlight spot on ESPN- the play they showed came from the game Maddux pitched in D.C. against the Nats . Maddux fielded a ground ball with a runner on third base and faked a throw to first before spinning around and firing a throw to third base and catching the runner off the bag. Chris and I were there to see that one and I told him after the play that is why he has 17 Gold Gloves... Early reports from his Agent says that Greg is leaning toward retiring vs. coming back for 1 more season . I can only hope that isn't the case- need 1 more season... Photo - Taken from the above mentioned game...

FISHERSVILLE - Rappahannock County made the trip down to Fishersville for the Opening round of the Region B tournament Tuesday night and they were welcomed by a focused group of Lady Green Hornets. There are seven seniors on the Wilson Memorial roster and they know this will be their final run on the Road to Richmond. Rapp tested the home team during the second and third games of Wilson's 3-0 (25-17, 29-27, 25-23) sweep but each time WM needed a crucial point they answered the call. "They didn't get down on themselves tonight," said Head Coach Kim Claytor . "When the came in to the locker room they were excited about getting it done in 3 games. They know what it means to get it done in three." Both newspapers from the Staunton - Waynesboro area were in the gym and you can check out their gamers at http://www.newsleader.com/ and http://www.newsvirginian.com/ . One of the pics included shows News-Leader's Ron Hartlaub interviewing WM's Christ...

STRASBURG - Last Saturday night, after the 2008 Bull Run Tournament Championship was added to the regular season title, Suzanne Mathias collected her third straight BR Coach of the Year award. At first thought this wasn't really big news to those in the Volleyball circle but when you stop and take a closer look... Yes - the Rams did go 28-0 last year and claim the Class A State Championship last year. But sometimes people forget that this is High School, not the University of Texas football program. When Vince Young left Austin following his Rose Bowl victory, Mack Brown had his choice of ANY High School Quarterback in the country to come in and run his offense. There is a big difference between replacing College athletes and re-tooling your Class A Volleyball roster. Katie Baker and Kaitlin Smoot are now playing their VB in college and five other Seniors left on Graduation Day last summer. Lyndsey Funkhouser , Cassidy Weitman , Kayln Warner, Britanee Hodson and Jo Owens all p...

STRASBURG - Julie Rothgeb coached her final game for the 2008-2009 season Monday night in Luray's 3-0 (25-18,25-18,25-21) loss to Strasburg but the end will not diminish the journey for the Lady Bulldogs. "I am very proud of the things we accomplished this season," Rothgeb said. "We finished miles ahead of where we were last year." Luray (17-6, 8-2) finished the Shenandoah District regular season in second place and were the only District team to defeat Wilson Memorial. The Lady Bulldogs pushed the Hornets to game 4 in the District tournament before once again finishing in the two spot. This time the #2 finish earned LHS their first trip to Region B play since 1997. Five of the six losses LHS suffered during their break out season came at the hands of District Champs- 3 times vs. Strasburg and 2 times vs. Wilson Memorial. Rothgeb's team captured 17 of 18 matches otherwise and their Coach tried to find a remedy for playing against the Rams. "We...
