Who are we celebrating this week? We'll start with football. Yeah, that's right. Playoffs are right around the corner, so no better time to be covering high school football. I'll start in Virginia with Christian Wyatt from South Lakes at over 250 yards and five total touchdowns for South Lakes and a big win over Madison last week. The Concord District is one of the top districts in the area. And week after week, there's a lot of big games. And South Lakes won a big one against Madison last week thanks to their senior quarterback. In D.C., Darius Knight wins for the second time this season, had four touchdowns at running back for Dunbar. and Jackson Waddy from Gonzaga had an interception against Good Counsel and over in Maryland uh Wilt Cameron from Blake had a nice 30-yard touchdown as they beat Paint Branch in a big rivalry win and then Matthew Larson from Sherwood's leading a team that's had a lot of injuries so far this year to a win over Damascus so an impressive win on that front so five impressive standouts this week for football all right congratulations to all of the football players let's switch gears now and go from the field to the court and talk a little volleyball who stood out yeah in volleyball have to start over at Flint Hill where Hunter Ross needed just three kills to become the all-time leader in kills at Flint Hill which is a dominant program year after year she needed three and she got 27 against Colgan so uh beat the record pretty good there last week Anna Georgevich from Richard Montgomery is a libero and has led Richard Montgomery to another strong regular season and Then in Prince George's County, Naya Tucker from Oxon Hill has also led Oxon Hill, which is another premier program in PG to a strong season. So those are our players of the week for volleyball. All right. We cannot forget about our soccer players out there. It's a great time of year for soccer. Who did you find as far as soccer standouts? Yeah, that's right. Playoffs are now underway in the area for soccer. And Hunter Parler was a big standout from Walter Johnson this week. He was struggling a little bit early in the season. I talked to his coach, but he's really come on late in the year. They had a nice conversation, and he's really picked up his play going into the playoffs. And staying in Montgomery County, Freya Gold is only a sophomore from Seneca Valley, but already has four hat tricks this year. So very impressive. She had her fourth against Rockville last week. Jordan Randall is only a freshman from CH Flowers, but had the game winner last week. And in D.C., Pia Vasquez from Washington International is a goal-scoring machine. And Charlie Waller is the defending WCAC Player of the Year. So, so much talent in this area. And we're so looking forward to the playoffs and continuing to cover them and to do it with you guys. So, thanks again for having me. And it's been a lot of fun featuring these standout athletes. Listen, it's been a pleasure talking about them for sure. And shout out to the sophomore and the freshman there and the sophomore with four hat tricks already. Noah, before we let you go, I know you were also working on a feature that you guys did on the female high school football coach here in the DMV. already got a win under her belt. That's pretty exciting. Yeah, that's right. Rachel Worsham became the first woman to lead a boys varsity football program. So I spent some time with them a few weeks ago and we talked about the process of her building up this program. Thomas Jefferson is an elite magnet school that does a lot of academics. So it's a very unique program and she's a very unique head coach. So got to spend some time with her and it was a lot of fun. So yeah it was a great story that's great she played with the DC Divas for a long time uh here in in DC folks might remember her from uh from there noah thanks very much i encourage people to go to the Washington Sun for your i mean for all your coverage but obviously celebrating our high school athletes and coaches here across the DMV thanks Noah see you next week see you next week
