Park View’s Pierson Picks GMU Women’s Soccer

Posted on 23 August 2007 by jr3ruby42.

Sterling (Aug. 23, 2007) – Park View High School rising senior Paige
Pierson, on the mend from ACL knee surgery, has chosen George Mason
University to play Division I women’s soccer starting in 2008-09.

Pierson, a first team all-Dulles District player as a sophomore,
never took the field as a junior for the Patriots as she went down with
an injury in the first five minutes of the spring’s first scrimmage.
Pierson suffered a bone fracture as well in the injury on March 8 and
she had to wait six weeks until mid-April to have her successful ACL
surgery. She is currently returning to jogging and light practice.

The forward/midfielder plays travel soccer for the Loudoun Hotshots.

“Paige picked GMU for academic and athletic reasons,” said Pierson’s
mother Les Ann. “She wanted a school close to home but one that had a
competitive Division I program.”

PF Takes Dual Match From Improving Patriots

Sterling (Aug. 16, 2007) – The Potomac Falls High School golf team
defeated a much-improved Park View squad Thursday at Algonkian,
354-368, in a AA Dulles District dual match.

Storms delayed the start by an hour before the Panthers, fresh off
of Wednesday’s district mini-tournament win, put out a line-up that
included only two of its six regulars. Juniors Michael Tondi and Jake
Orpin led the way for PF with 85 and 88, respectively. Senior Ryan
Yakscoe shot 90 and freshman Scott Trump, in his high school debut,
finished at 91.

Park View came in after season-opening scores of 390 and 393 but the
Patriots gave PF something to think about as freshman Jake Wilton
scored 89 and junior Johnny Mason shot 91 followed by sophomore Joey
Antonacci’s 93. Junior Trevor Scales finished the scoring with a 95.

“Park View played very well today,” said Potomac Falls coach Dave Quirin.

Potomac Falls is 1-1 in district dual meets and Park View is 0-2.
Both teams will play Monday again at Algonkian as the district meets
for its second mini-tournament. The Panthers can put a stranglehold on
repeating their regular-season title with a victory Monday.

Medaglia and Jackson Lead the Way

Sterling (Aug. 13, 2007) – Loudoun County High School senior Tommy
Medaglia shot a 76 and sophomore Dan Jackson turned in a 79 Monday
morning at Algonkian to lead the Raiders to a AA Dulles District golf
dual meet win over Park View.

The Raiders (1-0) shot a 322 total with junior Michael Walker
carding a 83 and senior Derek Bulman coming in at 84. County also had
solid No. 5 and No. 6 rounds from a pair of freshman, Michael Linville
(86) and Brantley Kushner (87).

“We’re young, but I’m pleased with the talent and work ethic of our
guys,” said Loudoun County coach John Laylock , who has high
expectations for his team this year, despite graduating his top three
players from last season including district invidual champion Kevin
McLister. “We lost our top three from last year, but our top four guys
will really dictate how our team places.  Those (district
mini-tournaments) will show us where we stand with the rest of the
district.  At County, we have a history of winning so we go into every
match and tournament we play expecting to win.”

One reason for Laycock’s optimism is the  vastly improved play of
four-year player Medaglia, who wasn’t even a regular starter last year
and failed to qualify for the district tournament. This year,
however, he has taken the district by storm so far.

“Tommy is a prime example of a player responding to a setback.  He
missed qualifying for the district tournament by just a couple strokes
last year and he has really used that as a motivational tool and has
worked really hard,” said Laylock.

In addition to his low medalist honors in Monday’s match, Medaglia
led all Loudoun golfers with his fourth place 74 in the season-opening
Curly Licklider Invitational. On Sunday, Medaglia won the Lowes Island
Country Club Junior Golf Championship, als0 with a 74.

The Patriots (0-1), making their Dulles District dual match debut
under first-year coach Larry Hinders, finished at 390 with freshman
Jake Wilton leading the way at 88.

“Our team goals are to improve over last year and bring along our
young players so they can have a good handle on the game,” said Hinders

The entire Dulles District will meets Wednesday at Raspberry
Falls for the first of two mini tournament that will help decide the
regular-season championship. Each mini tournament counts for one-third
towards the district title with the dual meet season making up the
final third. The regular-season champion advances to the Region II
tournament along with the district meet champion (or district meet
runner-up should the regular-season champion win).
