Gar-Field football wins first playoff game since 2007

It was a field storm 19 years in the making. Woodbridge lined up for a 28-yard field goal attempt from the left hash with a second to go in Friday’s Class 6 Region B quarterfinal against Gar-Field. If it went through, the Vikings would force overtime to complete a stunning rally from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. If not, the Red Wolves would walk away with a generational triumph in an upset on their hated, ancient rivals’ own turf. The horn sounded and the kick sailed wide left simultaneously, a signal for the ensuing wave of white-and-red delirium to charge onto A.T. Howard Field. Fifth-seeded Gar-Field secured its first playoff victory since 2007 with a 17-14 win at No. 4 Woodbridge to eliminate last year’s regional runner-up, and will travel to top-seeded Colonial Forge Nov. 20 for a spot in the regional final. At 9-2, the Red Wolves have won their most games in a season since they also went 9-2 in 2001.

Stafford wins first state field hockey title since 2005

ASHBURN—Stafford High School has been an annual contender at the top level of state field hockey for years, but the Indians have struggled to reach the promised land for more than two decades. On Saturday, the Indians ended their state championship drought with a dominant performance over Independence. Stafford put in a near-flawless effort to beat Independence on its home field, 5-0, in the VHSL Class 6 state championship, securing the program’s first state title since 2005. “This is incredibly exciting,” Stafford head coach Bryce Barnes said. “It’s been 21 years since we’ve won a state championship. Every year it feels like we are here or close, but we have this reputation of coming up short.” The win was extra sweet for Stafford considering the Indians just lost to Independence 2-1 16 days ago in the Region 6B championship game. Barnes said her team was determined to not let that happen again. “I think we just wanted it more,” she said. “We had to play with a lot of grit. The first game we played them, we gave them too many opportunities.” The Indians’ offensive attack was ruthless as they secured goals from Hayleigh Taylor, Jocelyn Patton, Maddy Pulliam and

Increased Class Sizes Disrupt Learning

The start of the 2026-27 school year has led to an increase in class sizes in both Dual Enrollment (DE) and Advanced Placement (AP) classes. Specifically, the increase in class sizes pertains to English classes. The increase in these class sizes is due to the decline of student numbers from last year. As a result of this loss, many teaching positions have been removed by FCPS to account for decreasing enrollment rates.
