CLINCHED: Hanover Baseball, Patrick Henry Softball Earn State Berths....

County teams go two for three in 5A Region Semifinal action Wednesday night, the games that determine who goes to the State Final Four in individual classifications.

HCS Media Network was live in Ashland as Patrick Henry softball clinched their second trip to State Championship Tournament play in three seasons, defeating Stone Bridge 12-0 in the 5A North Region Semifinals. Ironically, Patrick Henry had to defeat Stone Bridge in Ashburn two years ago in the former State Group AAA Quarterfinal round to earn a berth to the Final Four.

The Patriots scored two runs in the first, again giving an early lead to pitching ace Candace Whittemore, who fanned 11 Bulldogs en route to another shutout. Patrick Henry broke the game open with seven runs in the fourth inning, putting the game on ice when Paige Mitchell, who started as a freshman shortstop on the 2012 state runner-up team, launched a grand slam home run over the right-center field fence in the rain to up the lead to 9-0.

Seven of the nine Patriots in the batting order had two hits or more, with Mitchell driving in five runs and Ashley Samuels going three-for-four on the evening. The Patriots move to 17-1 on the season, and will travel to Ashburn again, this time to face Briar Woods for the 5A North Region Championship on Friday night at 6pm. Both Patrick Henry and Briar Woods advance to the 5A State Tournament June 13th in Burke, Virginia at Lake Braddock Secondary School.

Head Coach Shelby Webb, in just her second season, was excited for her team, but most appreciated their workman-like attitude.

"The finality of it all is finally setting in. Players are thinking 'this is do or die'. They've really grasped the concept of 'this is it'. The thing that makes me most excited is their lack of excitement when they win. It shows you know you're not where you want to be yet."

A win this Friday gives Patrick Henry home field in the State Semifinals on June 13th. Three more victories gives them that elusive State Championship.

****
Hanover baseball will return to defend their State Group AAA Title after a nail-biting 3-2 win in eight innings at Nansemond River in Suffolk Wednesday night. Derek Casey started for Hanover but got the no-decision as the Hawks saw a 2-1 deficit disappear in the fifth against reliever Hayden Moore. Trevor Denton took over in the sixth, forced a pop out to end a Nansemond River threat with two runners aboard, and pitched the rest of the way for the win.

The Hawks, who play a different style of ball from last year's team that could count on big home runs in key situations, found another way to win as the winning run was scored on a bases loaded walk in the eighth inning. Denton closed out the game, and the trip to states, in the bottom of the frame.

Hanover will face Grafton at home this Friday at 6pm for the 4A South Region Championship. Both teams are in the 4A State Tournament June 13th at Liberty University.

****
The Atlee girls soccer team saw their season end Wednesday night as they saw their hopes for Conference 11 glory end last week: at the hands of the defending state champions.

Elizabeth Ball, who scored a golden goal for Deep Run's conference win over the Raiders last Friday, scored twice as the Wildcats eliminated Atlee a game short of the 5A State Tournament 3-2. Kate Lewis and Riley Cook scored for the Raiders, Lewis in the 14th minute to take a 1-0 lead, Cook in the 79th minute for the 3-2 final score. Atlee finishes the season at 17-3.

Hanover Baseball: Directions To Suffolk For Game With Nansemond River

Hanover baseball looks to clinch a return to the state tournament tonight when they travel to Suffolk to battle Nansemond River in the 4A South Region Semifinals.

If you're planning to go down to cheer on the Hawks, we have the directions!

CLICK HERE for the directions to the school in Suffolk.

TUESDAY FINALS...

A tough night for Atlee is salvaged by the girls soccer team with a win to move one step from the State 5A Tournament. A familiar foe is in their way....

GIRLS SOCCER:
5A South Region Quarterfinal: Atlee 1, Clover Hill 0

SOFTBALL:
5A South Region Semifinal: Prince George 1, Atlee 0 (Raiders finish at 17-6 as Royals push home game's only run in the bottom of the 7th for the victory.)

LACROSSE:
South Zone Boys Semifinal: Western Albemarle 8, Atlee 4
South Zone Girls Semifinal: Salem 11, Atlee 9

Ironically, teams that lost were playing for berths in state tournaments.

Atlee girls soccer joins Patrick Henry softball and Hanover baseball playing in Region Semifinals on Wednesday night!

TUESDAY PLAYOFFS: Four Atlee Teams In Action!

It's Atlee Raider night in the 5A South Region playoffs and the VHSL South Zone Lacrosse Playoffs! Unfortunately, all the games are on the road.

5A South Softball Semifinal: Atlee vs. Prince George, 7pm at Lee-Davis (winner clinches 5A State Championship Tournament berth, advances to 5A South Region Final Thursday in Virginia Beach)

5A South Girls Soccer Quarterfinal: Atlee at Clover Hill, 7:30pm (Clover Hill was pre-determined neutral site for this round...)

South Zone Boys Lacrosse Semifinal: Atlee at Western Albemarle, 6:30pm

South Zone Girls Lacrosse Semifinal: Atlee at Salem, 6pm

Both lacrosse teams can punch a ticket to the first-ever VHSL State Lacrosse Championship Tournament with victories tonight!

FOOTBALL: Zac Hayden No Longer at Lee-Davis....

CBS6 News reported late Monday night that Zac Hayden, Lee-Davis' head football coach for the past four seasons, will not return for the 2014 season in that capacity.

Hayden went 24-18 with the Confederates in his four years at the helm in Mechanicsville, leading Lee-Davis to playoff appearances in both 2011 and 2012, where they lost in the old 5A Central Region semifinals to Atlee and Hanover respectively.

The Confederates finished 5-5 last year, missing the postseason, though as much due to the new 5A South region's decision to split playoff berths among Central and Eastern regions as opposed to allowing the top 16 teams in VHSL rating points to advance to the playoffs.  Had 5A South taken the top 16 teams regardless of location, Lee-Davis would have qualified.

No word yet on any possible successor. We'll have updates as we get them.

MONDAY PLAYOFF FINALS....

BASEBALL:

4A South Region Quarterfinal: Hanover 8, Jamestown 2 (Hawks advance to region semifinal Wednesday at 6pm at Nansemond River in Suffolk. The winner earns a regional final berth and a spot in the 4A State Tournament beginning June 13.)

5A North Region Quarterfinal: George Marshall 7, Patrick Henry 2 (Patriots season comes to an end with a record of 13-9.)

SOFTBALL:

County teams go 2-2 in tonight Region Quarterfinal Rounds, as Patrick Henry and Atlee move on, while Hanover and Lee-Davis see their seasons end.

Patrick Henry jumped to a 5-0 first inning lead and never looked back, pounding Tuscarora 11-1 in a 5A North Quarterfinal. Paige Mitchell had three hits, while senior Kendall Thomas had two hits, including a bases-clearing double in the first inning, on the way to a 5 RBI performance. Patrick Henry hosts Stone Bridge, who upset North Stafford tonight, in a Region Semifinal Wednesday night. The Patriots are 16-1.

Atlee survived a pitchers duel, scratching a run in the 9th inning, then holding off Matoaca for a 1-0 victory in the 5A South Quarterfinals. Casey Barrett singled home Cameron Hall for the game's only run in the top of the 9th for the extra inning victory. The Raiders will face Prince George in tomorrow's 5A South Semifinal, as the Royals knocked off Lee-Davis 3-1, ending the Confederates season at the region level for the third consecutive season. Lee-Davis finishes 16-6.

At Hanover, the Hawks completed two comebacks, but couldn't do it a third time, as they fell to Grafton in a ten-inning thriller 3-2. The game, in 4A South Quarterfinal play, saw Hanover overcome 1-0 and 2-1 deficits, the latter in the 8th inning. The Hawks finish the year at 14-3.

BOYS SOCCER:

4A South Region Quarterfinal: Grafton 1, Hanover 0. (Hawks finish season 12-4-1.)

THE WRAP: Weather Disrupts Conference Semis (with Updated Schedules)

The expected stormy weather arrived first at Hanover High School, where Semifinal Wednesday barely began, then eventually arrived at Deep Run, where action was suspended due to a major electrical storm.

Except for a half-inning of softball, there was no action at the Conference 20 Jubilee at Hanover, as storms descended upon the area just before the 5pm start time. Over at Deep Run, only one game lasted long enough to become official, while two others were suspended as storms jammed pack with torrential rain and tremendous lightning overcame the West End.

Below are the updated schedules for both Conference Tournament Semifinal Rounds, including resumption of suspended games as well as a venue change for two matches tomorrow:

The Patriots improve to 15-1 overall, winning their fifth straight district or conference title dating back to 2010.

Patrick Henry earns a bye to the quarterfinals of the 5A North Regional Tournament and will host a game next Monday.

GIRLS: #2 Atlee 18, #7 Lee-Davis 1; #4 Hanover 14, #5 Mills Godwin 6.

In boys play, Atlee and Hanover will meet for the third time this season in the Group semifinals, while in girls action, Atlee will meet Deep Run, who defeated Glen Allen tonight, while Hanover gets the winner of Hermitage/Douglas Freeman, which was postponed until Friday at 6pm due to tonight's storms.

THE WRAP: WEDNESDAY FINALS....

BASEBALL: Hanover hands Douglas Freeman its first loss after an 18-0 start, defeating the Rebels in the West End 6-3 Wednesday night. Derek Casey won the pitching showdown as the Hawks improved to 14-2.  Meanwhile, Mills Godwin handed Patrick Henry their second loss in 24 hours, beating the Patriots 7-0.

SOFTBALL: Patrick Henry avenged their only loss of the season, beating Mills Godwin at their Senior Night 1-0, the same score whereby the Eagles beat the Patriots in Ashland April 10th. In both games, a late inning solo home run was the difference. Tonight it was Ashley Samuels leaving the yard on the left field wall in the sixth inning. Candace Whittemore struck out 12 Godwin batters in the victory.  Patrick Henry faces Albemarle in the Conference 16 Semifinals Friday, 6pm in Ashland.

Atlee, meanwhile, shut out Henrico 20-0 to move a win away from the Conference 11 crown and the top seed in next week's tournament. Atlee travels to Highland Springs Thursday for their finale.

GIRLS SOCCER: Atlee is unbeaten no more. Taylor Guy had a hat trick as Mills Godwin erased an early 1-0 deficit and pulled away in the second half to a 3-1 victory. The Eagles are 13-1-1, the Raiders 12-1, but the Raiders still own the top seed at this hour on power ratings.

NOTE: All Conference 11 Tournaments in baseball, softball and soccer BEGIN on Monday, Memorial Day, May 26th.

THE WRAP: SOFTBALL: PH Clinches Conference 16 Crown; Atlee Wins Conference 11 Showdown....

The Patrick Henry Patriots clinched the first-ever Conference 16 Softball regular season title tonight, defeating Hermitage 5-0 to improve to 12-1. Even if they lose at Mills Godwin Wednesday night in their season finale, PH has earned the top seed in the Conference 16 Tournament beginning Friday, and should host fourth-seeded Albemarle for the right to play for the conference title and clinch a 5A North Region berth.

(REMINDER: LISTEN LIVE to Patrick Henry at Mills Godwin Softball Wednesday night, 6:50pm on HCS Media Network here at HanoverCountySports.net!)

In the battle for first place in Conference 11, Atlee held off Lee-Davis 3-1 Tuesday night to improve to 12-4, overtaking the Confederates, whose season ends at 13-5 for the top spot. The Raiders host Henrico Wednesday and go to Highland Springs Thursday. Two wins will clinch the number one seed in next week's inaugural conference tourney.

Peyton St. George struck out seven as the Raiders scored two runs in the first inning and an insurance run in the fourth. Kylie Stonebreaker pitched for the Confederates, as Lauren McIntyre was moved to shortstop to replace Jordan Trimiew, injured in practice on Monday, also striking out seven batters.

A Patrick Henry win over Mills Godwin will likely earn Lee-Davis the number two seed in Conference 11. If they finish tied for second, Lee-Davis does hold a head-to-head tiebreaker edge, if that comes into play.

********
Lee-Davis boys soccer knocked off homestanding Atlee 1-0 in overtime to improve to 10-4, second place in Conference 11. The Raiders fell to 8-4-2.

In girls soccer action, Atlee remained unbeaten at 12-0 with a 6-0 shutout of Lee-Davis, who fell to 7-5-1. This sets up a showdown for the Raiders at Conference 11 foe Mills Godwin (12-1-1) tomorrow night, essentially for the top seed in next week's tournament and the regular season title.

********
BASEBALL: Lee-Davis improved to 12-5 with a 5-1 victory at home over Atlee (6-10). Patrick Henry was upset at Hermitage 6-5 in 8 innings. The loss may have cost the Patriots a home game in the Conference 16 semifinals this Friday. If they are the third seed, they'll have to travel to the second seeded team.

Hanover disposed of Highland Springs 14-0 and next go to undefeated Douglas Freeman tomorrow night in a rematch of the 2013 Central Region Championship game, won by the Rebels. The Hawks, however, eventually won the Group AAA State Championship.

TENNIS: Danny Polk and James Pollard each won Conference 20 Boys Semfinals to set up a Hanover vs. Hanover conference championship match, which will take place on Thursday.

MONDAY FINALS, PLAYOFFS UPDATE

It was a good night for Hanover High School.

Both the girls and boys lacrosse teams finished their regular season with victories at rival Lee-Davis, the women by a 13-5 score, the men with a 13-7 victory.

Kara Kane scored five goals in the girls victory, while the boys went on a 9-0 run in the first half to take a commanding 10-1 halftime advantage.

It is likely the Hanover boys, the #3 seed in the Richmond Group of the first-ever VHSL Lacrosse Championship Tournament for 1A-5A schools, will face Lee-Davis again in the quarterfinals on Thursday. Hanover would host.

Hanover girls lacrosse finishes as the #4 seed and could host either Mills Godwin or Glen Allen. Tournament brackets should be released sometime tomorrow.

SOFTBALL: Hanover improved to 11-2 with a 9-1 Conference 20 victory over J.R. Tucker. The Hawks are the #1 seed for next week's conference tournament, getting a first round bye. They have two games remaining in the regular season.

Atlee shut out Highland Springs 22-0 to move to 11-4, #2 behind Lee-Davis (13-4) in Conference 11 standings as the teams prepare for their showdown tomorrow night (heard LIVE on HCS Media Network at 6:50pm ET here at HanoverCountySports.net). Lee-Davis currently has 5.35 points, Atlee has 5.13. Tomorrow night's winner has the inside track on the Conference 11 regular season title. Mills Godwin lurks just behind at 12-5 (5.00).

PLAYOFF NOTE: As of tonight, Patrick Henry is still #1 in Conference 16 at 6.416 points. Halifax County has finished its regular season at 16-4 (5.600 points), Orange County is done at 14-5 (5.158 points). Patrick Henry needs a win in its final two games, either tomorrow at Hermitage or Wednesday at Mills Godwin (LIVE on HCS Media Network) to clinch the Conference 16 regular season title and the #1 seed in Friday's semifinals. The top seed would play #4 Albemarle, the only team in the Conference with a losing record.

BASEBALL: Lee-Davis settled into the #3 seed for next week's Conference 11 Tournament with a 7-0 shutout of Henrico. The Confederates are now 11-5. Atlee defeated Highland Springs 7-2 and improves to 6-9, still two wins behind 4th place Deep Run (8-9). Atlee finishes at Lee-Davis tomorrow and at Highland Springs on Thursday night.

SOCCER: Patrick Henry fell twice tonight, as the boys lost at Mills Godwin 3-1 while the girls were shut out at home by the Eagles 3-0. Atlee boys soccer took a 3-1 victory over Highland Springs to improve to 8-3-2 and in a battle for second place behind Godwin in Conference 11 with Lee-Davis, whom they travel to meet tomorrow night.

PLAYOFF NOTE: The Lee-Davis at Atlee boys soccer match tomorrow night will help determine the second and third seed in Conference 11. Atlee is 8-3-2, Lee-Davis is 9-4. The Confederates enter the game in second place with 4.846 points, the Raiders third at 4.308 points. An Atlee win creates a tie for second with a game to go for both teams. It would also give Atlee the 2-0 regular season sweep of Lee-Davis. No word on whether head-to-head would help break a tie in Conference 11.

A Lee-Davis win would clinch the #2 seed in next week's tournament.

FRIDAY POSTPONEMENTS:

ALL games involving county teams in all sports (except Track & Field) scheduled for tonight are POSTPONED due to the storms that have come through the area. Games have not been rescheduled yet; we'll keep you posted when they are.

UPDATE:

1) Lee-Davis at Atlee soccer games now rescheduled for this Monday, April 28th, 5:30pm for Girls match, 7pm for Boys.

2) Lee-Davis at Atlee baseball and softball games are now rescheduled for Thursday, May 8th at 6PM.


The MileStat.com Classic is in a delay at Sports Backers Stadium and may not restart before 6:30pm.

Out in Salem, Randolph-Macon Softball began their first round game in the ODAC Tournament at 12pm, and led Eastern Mennonite 4-3 in the top of the 6th inning when rains and storms arrived. The rain delay is now over 3 hours long as they await to return to action as of 5:15PM.

SOFTBALL REVIEW: Patrick Henry 8, Atlee 4....

The storyline coming into the 2014 season for Atlee softball was simple: there would be offense, but who would do the pitching?

After five games, the Raiders were 3-2, scoring 57 runs in three victories, only one in their two losses, 3-1 to Glen Allen and 1-0 to Hanover, turning the storyline on its head. The offense, not the pitching, had been the problem coming into Wednesday's annual showdown with Patrick Henry.

By night's end, the Patriots had touched Laura Kate Moss and Peyton St. George for eight runs, the most allowed by the Raiders in a game thus far, taking an 8-4 victory to improve to 6-1 on the season. With the defeat, Atlee fell to an uncharacteristic 3-3.

The game found bookends in the form of "bases loaded". The Patriots loaded them up in the top of the 1st, but a Kendall Thomas groundout ended the early threat. Patrick Henry would break through in the 2nd. After a Taylor Prokopis walk and Beth Ford single to left, pitcher Candace Whittemore hit a single to right-center to send Prokopis and Ford home. Whittemore advanced to second on the relay throw home and the Patriots took a 2-0 lead.

After leaving two on base in their half of the 2nd, the Raiders seized the lead in the third. Cameron Hall, who made a sensational defensive play in the top of the inning, sliding on her knees down the third base line to catch a bunt pop-up from Grayson Radcliffe, then fired the ball to first to double up courtesy runner Abby Clement, sent a ball high and deep over the left field fence for a solo home run.

Two batters later, Raine Wilson found the gap in left-center for a double, then scored on Mattie Fitzgerald's single right up the middle. Delani Ferrar walked, then Annamarie Warley singled to plate Fitzgerald for the 3-2 lead. Shelby Hill flew out to right field, leaving two aboard. Prokopis, the PH right fielder, had a very busy night defensively.

After a scoreless 4th, the Patriots rallied to retake the lead in the top of the 5th. Beth Ford singled, and after a Whittemore walk and sacrifice bunt by Paige Mitchell, there were runners at 2nd and 3rd. After some discussion, Atlee decided to intentionally walk Ashley Samuels, giving Radcliffe, the freshman Patriot third baseman, the batters box with the bases loaded.

Having hit a three-run homer the day before to help Patrick Henry knock off Hermitage, Radcliffe, too, was a threat. She delivered with a single to center to score Ford and leave the bases jammed. Atlee head coach John Earley decided to make the change, and Moss was done after 4 1/3 innings, responsible for the runners as freshman St. George took the circle.

This was nothing unusual for Atlee, as the two young hurlers have split innings most of the season in an attempt to give them both valuable experience while looking to see who emerges as their true future #1 starter. St. George was greeted by Thomas, who grounded out with the bases loaded in the 1st.

She didn't leave 'em loaded again.

Thomas sent the ball into the gap in right-center, sending all three runners home. The tie was broken, and the Patriot lead was 6-3.

After a fruitless 5th, Atlee scored in the 6th as Hill led off with a triple to left field, then scored two batters later when a fly to deep center was dropped by Thomas. Whittemore fought back from that to strike out Hall, then get Casey Barrett to flyout to Prokopis in right to end the inning at 6-4.

Patrick Henry decided six runs weren't enough. Mitchell began the 7th with a deep double to center, hitting the base of the fence over Shelby Hill's head. Up to the plate came Ashley Samuels, who sent a pitch high and deep down the left field fence. The assembled fans knew it was gone, it was only a matter of fair or foul. It stayed fair with room to spare for an 8-4 lead.

"As soon as I saw the ball go over my head, I knew..."gone"," said Atlee third baseman Raine Wilson, talking with Samuels after the game. Wilson had run hard into the chain link fence chasing a foul ball down the left field line in the first inning, but recovered after a moment and completed the game.

The Raiders, though, weren't done. Wilson led off the 7th with a single, advancing to second on a Fitzgerald fielders choice. Ferrar struck out, then Warley singled and Hill walked. The bases were loaded with the young pitcher St. George at the plate representing the tying run.

Just as the Patriots left the bases jammed in the top of the 1st, the Raiders did the same in the bottom of the 7th to end it, as St. George became the 7th and final strikeout victim of Whittemore.

The Patriots, at 6-1, now travel to Maggie Walker Governors School Friday before hosting Dinwiddie Monday in a game we will be Live Tweeting from Ashland at 5:30pm.

The Raiders, at 3-3, now prepare for a visit from their biggest rival, Lee-Davis, who started 1-1, but now come to Atlee with an 8-2 record, a young team growing up very fast. The Confederates handled Douglas Freeman 10-0 in five innings on Wednesday.

As they walked away from the field, Wilson and Samuels shared an embrace, as did many other players from the game.

"I hate losing, but I love playing you guys," Wilson told Samuels.

Fierce competitors on the field, friends off the field. That's the magic of high school sports. And the way it should be.

SOFTBALL: Atlee (3-2) gets a shot at two county rivals as they seek to re-ignite their offense this week. They've scored 57 runs in three wins, but only one in two losses (Glen Allen, Hanover). The Raiders host Patrick Henry Wednesday, 6pm, then take on Lee-Davis Friday at 7pm.

(NOTE: Both games can be heard LIVE on HCS Media Network by listening on the Mixlr Player at the top of this web site.)

BOYS SOCCER: Hanover is 5-0. Midlothian is 4-0. Something's gotta give Monday at 7pm when the Hawks and Trojans collide at Hanover. Could this be a Conference 20 title game preview? This is just the start of a marathon week for the Hawks, who go to Glen Allen for an 8pm Tuesday match, then come home to host Patrick Henry Thursday at 6pm and Highland Springs Friday at 8pm.

Patrick Henry, whose 2-4 record does not reflect their talent or level of play, get Hermitage Tuesday at home before heading to Hanover Thursday, then to Maggie Walker on Friday as their brutal opening nine-game schedule stretch comes to an end.

Lee-Davis at 4-3 after a disappointing 1-0 loss at Hanover before Spring Break, hosts Varina Tuesday, then travels to face rival Atlee on Friday. The young Raiders, at 1-3-1, only play this week on Friday against the Confederates.

BOYS LACROSSE: Atlee is 3-0 and plays all three county rivals in the same week. First up, Patrick Henry Monday at 7pm in Ashland, then to Lee-Davis Wednesday at 7:30, finally to their home field Saturday afternoon for a 2pm match with fellow unbeaten Hanover (3-0), who doesn't play this week until the Saturday showdown with the Raiders.

Hanover is 2-1 after their April 11th win at Glen Allen. They don't play this week until the high noon Saturday match at Atlee.

Wednesday Baseball Finals....

LEE-DAVIS: The Confederates get great pitching from Joey Pride and Patrick Holler but go 1-1 in their Conference 11 doubleheader Wednesday, Pride shutting out Mills Godwin 4-0 on a one-hitter, Holler the hard-luck loser of a 1-0 game against unbeaten Douglas Freeman. Lee-Davis is now 5-4.

ATLEE: The Raiders finished their Conference 11 spring break play losing another tough one, this time at unbeaten Douglas Freeman 2-1. Atlee lost Monday to Mills Godwin by the same score in nine innings. Now 3-5, the Raiders next play Wednesday when they make good a March game at home with Patrick Henry.

HANOVER: The Hawks got their first win in the Forest Acres Classic, riding an 11-run third inning sparked by an Elliott Sledd home run to a five inning, 11-1 victory over Voyager Academy (NC). Hanover plays for 3rd place in the tournament at 2pm Thursday vs. Lexington (SC). The Hawks are 7-1 overall, and, when they return to Virginia, must go to Glen Allen Tuesday night.

Tuesday Baseball Postponements, Updated Wednesday Schedule....

Rain, indeed, washed out play for county teams on this Tuesday, not that one didn't give it a try.

Hanover got underway in their second game of the Forest Acres Spring Break Tournament in South Carolina, falling behind 3-0 against Wesleyan Christian of North Carolina after two innings. The Hawks scored a run and had the bases loaded in the top of the 3rd when the heavens opened again, forcing first a delay, then a complete cancellation of this game and all scheduled Tuesday tournament action at around 4:25pm ET.

Hanover, who lost their tournament opener 5-2 to Gloucester Catholic (NJ) in 9 innings Monday, will next face Voyager Academy of North Carolina at 2pm Wednesday. Records over two games and runs scored in case of tiebreaker necessities will determine who qualifies where for Thursday's final round.

The Lee-Davis at Douglas Freeman game was postponed to tomorrow. Here is the updated Wednesday schedule for games involving county teams at Douglas Freeman:

12pm: Lee-Davis vs. Mills Godwin
3pm: Lee-Davis vs. Douglas Freeman
6pm: Atlee vs. Douglas Freeman

Friday Schedule Change!

Tonight's girls lacrosse match, Hanover at Glen Allen, has been moved up to a 5:30pm start. The scheduled JV match has been cancelled.

We will Live Tweet tonight's match and be sure to look for coverage of the game in next week's Hanover Herald-Progress!

SNAPSHOTS: A Look Back At Atlee Comeback Victory....

In a game heard LIVE on HCS Media Network, Atlee boys soccer grew up a little Friday night, overcoming a 2-0 halftime deficit to score in the final minute of regulation to knock off Glen Allen 3-2 for their first win of 2014.
