Traditional power, GW, heads district soccer and tennis

Boys, Girls, Soccer, Tennis - it doesn't matter, the Maroons head it all.

So maybe they are the only boys tennis team in the district - but that does not imply the Maroons haven't earned their ascent into the Regionals. Since falling to Grayson 5-4 on Saint Patty's day, the Roons have knocked off 6 consecutive opponents - including two shut outs. The Maroons have taken 8-1 victories over Fort Chiswell, Floyd, and Oak Hill academy. They've only had one match closer than 8-1 since March 17th and that was a 5-4 defeat of Giles in Pearisburg. With Bland, Floyd, and Fort Chiswell all left to match against one more time - the Maroons are pretty confident they can run the table. May 8th, the final match of the regular season against Grayson County comes at a fitting time - the Blue Devils topped the Maroons in the first match of the year. The Maroons want to get in the last word.

Rural Retreat's co-ed soccer team has had a good thing going this year. Posting wins over Fort Chiswell, Patrick Henry, Grayson, and Narrows has earned the lone Hogheegee co-ed team a decent record on the year. Everyone is excited on the up and coming program as spectators are in a push for Rural Retreat to develop it's own boys and girls teams.

Despite losing both district matches thus far this season, Patrick Henry's boys soccer team has still earned some credit with two wins apiece over Lebanon and Fort Chiswell. Despite a 4-0 shutout against district leader George Wythe on April 8th, the Rebels are confident that a victory over the Maroons will be within reach on the April 22nd rematch in Glade Spring.

George Wythe's boys soccer team has rolled in a predictable fashion. Despite losing a close one at the hands of the Three River's Glenvar and a tough fought match against Galax on April 9th- the Maroons have notched a 5-2 record. Thus far defense has been the key as the Roons have managed to hold district competition scoreless and have only allowed 1 goal in their 5 wins this season. On April 25th and 28th, George Wythe's boys team will attempt to avenge earlier season losses to Galax and Glenvar, respectively. Should be exciting.
