Taking the Corner on the Field Hockey Team

The Fauquier High School (FHS) field hockey team has a new coach and a new attitude. This team is back and ready to bring fire on the field. Freshman Laila Retana-Rodriguez played last season, and this season her biggest goal is to play the best she can and to be herself. Retana-Rodriguez stated, “Everyone is super nice…and friendly, I just love playing. It’s my favorite sport.” Retana-Rodriguez added, saying her advice to new players is to just, “try your best, make friends and have fun in the game.” Team bonding is very important so the team can get closer and learn more about each other.

Civil War soldier who died in Northern Virginia is finally laid to rest

This article was written by InsideNoVa's news partner, WTOP , and republished with permission. Sign up for WTOP's breaking news, traffic and weather alerts as well as daily emails. A Civil War soldier who died more than 160 years ago in Prince William County has been given a final resting place. He was laid to rest with full military funeral honors at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov. 4. “We gather to honor an unknown soldier whose life story is not fully known to history, yet whose sacrifice is fully worthy of the nation’s gratitude,” Chaplain Capt. Phil Morlock said while leading the ceremony. “We know that he answered a call greater than himself. We know that he stood in a time when the nation was tested by fire.” In March 2024, archaeologists discovered the soldier’s remains at Manassas National Battlefield Park at the site of a Civil War field hospital. His identity is unknown, but forensic analysis shows he was around 16 to 19 years old. The Union infantryman died during the Second Battle of Manassas in 1862. “As I watched that ceremony today, I felt it very hard not to cry,” said David Duncan, president of the American Battlefield

Seton girls basketball learns from a college coaching legend

Harry Perretta knows how to lighten a moment. During a break at Seton’s two-hour girls varsity basketball practice Tuesday in Manassas, he asks a player what she should do first if she ever played for him. She mentions a play they just ran. It’s a good answer, but not the one Perretta is looking for. Perretta tells her any player must first pay attention. Then, with a storyteller’s perfect cadence who knows his audience, he explains why, pointing to a banner of Saint John Paul II on the far wall of the gym. “When he talks about religion, he’s infallible,” Perretta said in reference to the former Catholic pope. “And when I’m inside these four lines and I’m talking basketball, I’m infallible.” The comment draws laughter from those nearby. Then, comes the topper. He walks off the court and quietly says to one observer with a smile, “How’d you like that one?” Of course, Perretta doesn’t really think he’s infallible, but when he’s on the basketball court and teaching, players and coaches would be wise to listen to him. Not because of quick one-liners. But because he knows a little something about coaching basketball. For 42 seasons, Perretta led the
