Gainesville overcomes 0-3 start to become playoff contender

At this point in the season, Tre Cage sees no reason to focus on the what-ifs. Instead, he’s fixated on what’s now. And what’s now is that after starting the season 0-3, his Gainesville football team has a chance to defeat a rival for the first time and by doing so earn an automatic berth in the playoffs. For the second-year head coach, that means letting go of Battlefield’s 21-20 come-from-behind victory over the Cardinals. Or Colonial Forge blocking a Gainesville field-goal attempt with two minutes left to hold on for a 14-13 victory. Those moments are in the past. All that matters is what the Cardinals (5-4) do Friday at Patriot (5-4) in their regular-season finale. A victory puts Gainesville back in the playoffs for the first time since 2024 and ends the Pioneers’ winning streak over the Cardinals at five. Gainesville could still reach the playoffs with a loss, but a victory would mean so much more. “We’re looking to make history and beat Patriot,” Cage said. “Getting into the postseason is the cherry on top.” High school football playoff picture Top offensive performances for Oct. 30 games This Friday's schedule Woodbridge-Gar-Field rivalry features multiple storylines Gainesville has

Prince William County firefighters battle 3 blazes over 4 days; 24 residents displaced

Prince William County firefighters battled three separate blazes over four days this week, displacing 24 residents and drawing on mutual aid from neighboring counties. Catharpin basement fire displaces five A basement fire on Thursday, Nov. 5 heavily damaged a two-story home in the 3700 block of Avonlea Way in Catharpin, displacing three adults, two children and their dog, fire officials said. Crews arrived at 10:46 a.m. to smoke showing from the front door and quickly knocked down the flames before they reached the upper floors, Prince William County fire and rescue Battalion Chief Brian Ferguson said. The home's smoke alarm sounded and alerted the residents, who got out safely before crews arrived. Because there are no hydrants nearby, fire department tankers supplied water. A total of 17 fire and rescue units responded, including mutual aid from Fairfax and Loudoun fire departments. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains undetermined, Ferguson said. Two-alarm Woodbridge fire displaces 12, spreads to neighboring home On Tuesday, Nov. 3, just after midnight, fire crews were called to a blaze in the 2000 block of Sussex Court in Woodbridge and arrived to find extensive fire at the rear of a one-story, single-family home.

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

InsideNoVa celebrates ribbon-cutting for new Manassas office

InsideNoVa held a ribbon-cutting for its new Manassas office on Thursday with the Prince William Chamber of Commerce and city leaders. The nearly 60 people who attended were able to tour the new space, meet InsideNoVa team members and enjoy networking and refreshments. InsideNoVa moved to the new office in May; it previously was in Woodbridge. "It’s important for us to be here because not only are we within walking distance of the courthouse and City Hall, which is great for our reporters, but we are centrally located in Prince William County – our primary coverage area," publisher Bruce Potter told attendees. Potter noted that the move was one of three major changes for the local news company this year - the others being its conversion to a new web platform and its expansion into offering targeted digital marketing solutions for local and regional businesses. Prince William Chamber of Commerce CEO Kristi Black and Manassas Mayor Ralph Smith also spoke during the event.

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

Gavin Daniels keeps state cross country title in the family

Since his freshman year at Gainesville High School, Gavin Daniels has steadily improved at the Class 6 state boys cross country meet at Oatlands in Leesburg. In his first season competing on his favorite course, Daniels finished 10th. Last season, he moved up to third. On Saturday, the junior reached the pinnacle, capturing his first individual state running title in any event by winning in a time of 15:44.68. By doing so, Daniels kept the state trophy in his family after his older brother Trent won the same title a year ago. Trent, who attended Saturday's meet, is a freshman runner at the University of Virginia. Patriot's Preston Spangler was second in 15:53.48. Lake Braddock won the team title with 41 points. Patriot was fourth with 119. Daniels ran the meet the way he wanted to. Enjoying Oatlands’ hilly terrain, he took the lead a mile and a half into the race and never relinquished it. "It was definitely my goal to win states," Daniels said. "Preston made it hard the whole year so I had to stay focused." Daniels is the eighth male from a Prince William County high school to win a state cross country title. Before his

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. The final scores were 25-16, 25-15 and 25-12. In addition to advancing to states, the Vikings will also move on to the region final, which is Nov. 10. Woodbridge will play at Colonial Forge at 6 p.m. On Friday, Woodbridge's Elliot Dorgan had 14 kills and six aces. Jayne Clark had 10 kills, Maria Coronel and Maddie Webster each had five kills and Braylin Coacher had 30 assists and three kills. The Vikings have put themselves in this position led by first-year head coach Casey Cornell. The Cardinal District coach of the year led Woodbridge to an 11-1 district regular-season record, where it tied for first with perennial district champ Colgan and along the way ended the Sharks' 92-match district winning streak. Woodbridge girls volleyball breaks Colgan's streak as the district tournament's top seed Cornell came to Woodbridge from Courtland High School in Spotsylvania County, where she led the program for eight seasons. During her time there,
