Starting Lineup
By Carl Lukat
The Heritage Pride volleyball team is teaming up with Papa John’s, La Villa Roma and Loudoun Physicians for Women to raise money for Breast Cancer Research.
During the month of October, each time a varsity player earns a kill, each of these sponsors will donate $1 to the Susan G. Komen Fund to support Breast Cancer Research.
At each home game, students will place a pink K on the wall after each kill. The Pride volleyball program raised more than $900 last year and is aiming to raise more than $1,000 this year.
Bulldogs blitz McLean
Stone Bridge combined seven touchdowns with a safety in the first half to build a 51-0 lead by halftime of a Sept. 26 home football game against McLean. The Bulldogs won the contest, 51-13.
Daniel Allen had a spectacular game for Stone Bridge (5-0). The senior running back found the end zone on each of his rushing attempts in the game, netting 167 yards and four touchdowns on just four carries.
Senior quarterback Patrick Thompson connected with three receivers -- Nate Ingersoll, twin brother Zach Thompson and Michael Prince -- on touchdown passes.
