St. John's dominates Gonzaga 44-3 in century-old high school rivalry

When talking about the St. John’s College High vs. Gonzaga College High rivalry , fans brought up a few comparisons: Michigan vs. Ohio State. Auburn vs. Alabama. USC vs. Notre Dame. That’s a tall order for a high school football game. But on a sunny fall afternoon in Washington, D.C., the atmosphere at St. John’s' packed Fernandez Stadium sure delivered. This year’s iteration may not have quite replicated the often-tight competition of its college football comparisons – St. John’s took down the Eagles 44-3 – but that didn’t touch the rowdy enthusiasm of either fan base in the sold-out crowd. St. John’s students hung sheets painted with “Birds Aren’t Real” and “Beat Gonzaga” (with all the Gs ex-ed out, of course), while Gonzaga kept up their chants of “God is Purple” all the way until the blowout’s final seconds. More: This weekend, DC has a different century-spanning power struggle: St John's vs Gonzaga There were some extra bragging rights on the line during this 106th meeting of the legendary D.C. rivalry – heading in, the all-time series record was knotted up at 50-50-5. After back-to-back Gonzaga victories in 2024 and 2025, the Cadets’ dominant revenge victory puts them back on

No. 16 MSU Men's soccer knocked out of Big Ten Tournament

After falling 3-2 to Indiana in its regular-season finale, Michigan State men's soccer needed a strong showing in the Big Ten Tournament to keep its postseason hopes alive. Instead, the Spartans' first-half lack of control ended their tournament run with a 2-1 loss to Maryland. The loss to Indiana dropped MSU to the No. 4 seed in the conference tournament. With an opportunity to advance to the semifinals, the Spartans struggled to find their footing against the fifth-seeded Terrapins. Maryland controlled possession early, but MSU pressed aggressively and looked to create opportunities through counterattacks. The Spartans struggled to connect passes and maintain possession as Maryland dictated much of the tempo. The Terrapins capitalized in the 33rd minute. Albi Ndrenika finished with his right foot into the bottom left corner after a heel flick opened up the opportunity. The game took an aggressive turn when junior defender Brandon Munson earned a red card. He shoved a Maryland player who was already on the ground. The referee sent off Munson for unsporting behavior, leaving the Spartans with 10 players for the final 51 minutes. The physicality was particularly striking for Maryland, which entered the quarterfinals having committed the fewest fouls per game

Woodbridge holds off Gar-Field to win third straight district title and 19th straight district game

It’s doubtful that many of the 61 previous regular-season matchups between Woodbridge and Gar-Field could have matched the sloppiness of Friday’s mistake-plagued contest. In the end, though, the Vikings’ defense and special teams made just enough plays to beat the Red Wolves 9-7 on their home field. Senior defensive lineman Alhaji Kamara returned a botched punt attempt 34 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and a bad snap on another Red Wolves’ punt attempt led to a safety in Gar-Field’s next possession, giving all the points the Vikings needed to take a one-game edge in the heated rivalry series and claim the Herb Saunders Trophy. With the victory, Woodbridge won its third straight Cardinal District crown and 19th straight district game, earning the fourth seed in the Class 6, Region B playoffs in the process. The Vikings (9-1, 6-0) will play the Red Wolves (8-2, 5-1) for the second straight week next Friday in the first round of regionals. Here are the Class 6, Region B first-round football pairings Northern Virginia high school football scores for Nov. 6 “I didn’t think they were going to score on us, and they didn’t,” Woodbridge coach Jimmy Longerbeam said. “We’re really

Woodbridge girls volleyball back in states for first time since 1998

Woodbridge High School's girls volleyball team is back in the state tournament for the first time since 1998. On Friday, the Vikings (20-4) advanced to the Class 6 state quarterfinals after defeating Cardinal District opponent Forest Park 3-0 in the Region 6B semifinals.

Playoff-bound Gainesville beats Patriot for the first time

Even after the game, Tre Cage still put his team in the right position. After Gainesville defeated host Patriot Friday 21-14, the Cardinals' second-year coach directed his players to convene to the right of the goal post so everyone taking pictures could clearly include the scoreboard in the background. That was shift was significant. For the first time since it began playing a varsity football schedule in 2022, Gainesville beat the Pioneers. Coming into the game, Patriot had won all five matchups. So, before the scoreboard went blank, the players and coaches hustled toward the end zone to make sure they got the score frozen in time for posterity. The players initially set up camp in front of the goal post, but the crossbar blocked out the scoreboard. Recognizing the hold-up, Cage took matters into his own hands by having everyone congregate at an angle to capture the historic moment. It was a milestone worth savoring along with the fact that the Cardinals are still playing, something Cage reminded them off by telling them to 'Be back Monday." They had another week of practice as another game awaited. After a one-year hiatus, Gainesville is back in the playoffs. A win
