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

Gainesville's 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

North Stafford rebuilds after state runner-up roster exodus

Orlando Jones was working as an assistant coach at Bishop Lynch, a private school in Dallas, when he learned of a head coaching vacancy at North Stafford High School. Bishop Lynch has two junior varsity teams, a freshman program, and a varsity squad. The campus has pristine facilities, and the program has won seven Texas Association of Private and Parochial School championships. “It’s just on a bigger scale,” Jones said of Texas high school football. Still, a chance to return home to the Fredericksburg area appealed to Jones. The former standout running back and linebacker for Riverbend High School competed at Virginia Tech before transferring to Southern Methodist University and wrapping up his playing career at The Citadel. North Stafford was coming off an appearance in the 2025 Class 6 state championship game where it fell to Oscar Smith, so Jones believed there was an opportunity for success. But after the Wolverines hired Jones in June, he was already facing a challenge because high school football programs now train year-round. That challenge intensified when the North Stafford administration informed Jones that the program had lost some talented transfers. After accepting the job offer, however, Jones quickly realized the situation was

Maryland football interim coach came home. Now he has a bridge to build

It’s 10 miles from Northeast Washington, D.C., to Maryland ’s campus. For Aazaar Abdul-Rahim , it took a lifetime to cross that bridge. “Some people,” Abdul-Rahim told USA TODAY Sports, “call that on the opposite side of the bridge. That’s east of the river.” One of seven brothers raised in D.C., Abdul-Rahim grew up around Anacostia and the bridges that connect the city to everything beyond it. Now Maryland has asked him to build one of his own. WHAT'S NEXT? Maryland football has ambitious coaching targets. Here’s the reality The Terps’ interim coach must carry a struggling football program from the end of the Mike Locksley era toward an uncertain future.

The Highland School in Warrenton will retire Nate Ament’s jersey and number 10 during a ceremony at the school Feb. 12. He will become the first athlete in the school’s 98-year history to receive that honor. The ceremony is being held the day before the Milwaukee Bucks play at the Washington Wizards.

Lake Braddock earns first state tournament berth in 16 years

Entering Labor Day weekend, Lake Braddock field hockey sported a 2-3-1 record, having surrendered 11 goals in six games against a tough early schedule. But anchored by a core group of senior leaders, a few breakout stars and promising development from a young defensive corps, the Bruins engineered a stunning turnaround, winning 15 straight games and allowing just seven goals in the process, sending the Lady Bruins to a regional title and into the state field hockey tournament for the first time since 2010.
