Recruiting group helped the track star achieve his goal of running in college.
Briar Woods’ Justin Bradley has committed to Indiana Tech. The Falcon will hang up his wings and run track next year as a Warrior, a dream he achieved with a little prodding. Bradley joined NCSA Athletic Recruiting, which he said kept on him and his pursuit, providing useful tools and guidance. “The one thing about NCSA that I really liked was they kept me on task by sending emails, phone calls and creating a task list on my NCSA profile,” Bradley said. “They really do help student-athletes step by step to earning a scholarship or scholarships. I would recommend this to any student-athlete that wants to make it to the next level.” Bradley plans to pursue a degree in business administration or marketing at the private university in Fort …

Briar Woods cruised past Courtland to earn a spot in the championship against Heritage-Lynchburg; win would make third in a row.
The Briar Woods Falcons racked up 339 yards on the ground and five rushing touchdowns to pull away from the Courtland Cougars 45-15 and advance to the team's third straight AA Division 4 state championship game. Led by running back Cory Colder's 182 rushing yards and four scores, the Falcons broke open what had been a close game until the third quarter with two big plays from quarterback Trace McSorley. As the Courtland defense focused on trying to stop Colder – who gained 120 of his yards on the ground in the first half – McSorley found a Cam Serigne wide open for a 43-yard touchdown pass, and later broke loose for an 80-yard scoring run of his own. With the exception of allowing a few long passing plays, the Briar Woods defense stood as …

Stone Bridge escaped an early scare versus Langley, while Briar Woods pulled away from Liberty.
While most of us will be deep in turkey-induced comas come Thursday, players and coaches at Stone Bridge and Briar Woods high school will be preparing for what has become a post-Thanksgiving tradition at both schools: regional football championships. Stone Bridge Wears Down Langley Stone Bridge overcame a sloppy offensive performance to outlast a tough Langley Saxon squad and come away with a 33-14 win Friday in Ashburn. After scoring 56 first half points last week against Edison, the Bulldogs (12-0) were mired in a tough defensive battle for the better part of the game. Both teams traded fourth-down defensive stops and punts in a scoreless first quarter. The second quarter appeared headed for a similar outcome until a costly error by the …

Broad Run comes up short after the Falcons score with less than a minute left.
Football occupied the Friday nights of thousands of Ashburn residents with all three high school varsity teams playing in the community. The Stone Bridge Bulldogs ran down the Robinson Rams 31-14 in a home game, while the Briar Woods Falcons pulled off a late-game surge to overcome the Spartans at Broad Run 20-15.
