Ashburn Volleyball Player Faring Well in College

Briar Woods graduate Chelsea Kaser, now playing for Muhlenberg, earned a spot on the all-conference second team.

Volleyball player Chelsea Kaser, a Briar Woods graduate who’s now a freshman at Muhlenberg College, was selected to the All-Centennial Conference second team, according to a press release from the school.

The news first came shortly before the Loudoun Hounds announced plans to move the team’s proposed baseball stadium, which the NASL team plans to share, from Kincora to One Loudoun. That stadium must still win land use approvals. “The NASL has a long and glorious tradition as a quality professional league and we are proud to join them in 2014,” said Bob Farren, chairman and founder of VIP Sports & Entertainment, the entity bringing the Hounds to Loudoun, in a press …

Clean Sweep for Ashburn Football Teams

Briar Woods, Broad Run and Stone Bridge each captured big wins Friday night.

Ashburn high school football fans enjoyed a great night across the board Friday, as all three of the community’s teams ran a way with convincing wins by a combined score of 114-20. The Briar Woods Falcons seemingly had the toughest test when they hit the road to play the previously unbeaten Tuscarora Huskies. But the result was something Falcons fans have become accustomed to during the past three years: a dominating defense and strong rushing attack spurred Briar Woods to the 35-6 victory and a 6-0 record. Cory Colder ran for 120 yards and three touchdowns, while Matt Rolin paced the defense with six tackles, and Trace McSorley and Darryll Gadsden each recorded an interception.
