The Connection

Last year in the United States, 559,650 men and women died of sometype of cancer, and in Virginiaalone, 13,740 people died of can-

cer, according to the American Cancer So-ciety. To preserve their memory and to raisemoney for cancer research, every year hun-dreds of communities around the countryhost a Relay for Life, and the Vienna Relayfor Life occurred May 17 and 18 at MarshallHigh School.

Collectively, the Vienna Relay for Liferaised $166,206, making it the third high-est Relay for Life fund-raiser in the coun-try. As a fund-raiser, the Relay for Lifebegan in September, when team captainsorganized teams and began raising money,and continued for the next nine monthsuntil the final two-day event in May. Theevent itself commenced in the afternoonand continued until 7 a.m. the next morn-ing, and many teams tried to have some-one walking on the track at all times, re-gardless of the hour.

DURING THE RELAY FOR LIFE, partici-pants walk around the track as a symbolicrepresentation of what a cancer patient goesthrough as he or she is diagnosed, under-goes treatment, and survives.

As the Mission Delivery Manager BrendaSilvia, a survivor of thyroid cancer, said, “It’slike a snapshot of a cancer survivor’s life.When the sun is shining, it represents whena patient is first diagnosed. Then throughthe darkness of the night, you keep goingeven though you’re exhausted, just like a

cancer patient undergoing treatment. Andthen the sunrise symbolizes when treat-ments come to an end.”

Registration Chair Rachel Liu, a Viennaresident, said, “I lost my father to cancerwhen I was 15. It was a way of keeping hismemory alive, and of furthering research.”According to Liu, more than 110 teams,composed of 1,200 people, participated inthis year’s Vienna Relay for Life.

To keep people awake and energized,activities occurred throughout the after-noon, evening, and early morning hours,such as a cake walk, pie eating contest, pizzaparty, lip sync contest, and coffee house. To

honor cancer survivors, the Relay also in-cluded a Survivors’ Reception, a Survivors’Victory Lap, and the Luminaria Ceremony.In preparation for the Luminaria Cer-emony — which happened at 9 p.m., vol-unteers set up luminaria around the pe-rimeter of the track and on both sets ofbleachers, with one side reading “HOPE”

and the other “CURE.”

FOR ITS PARTICIPANTS, the Relay actsas a catalyst in bringing together the com-munity in support of an issue that affectsvirtually every person in some way, whethersurvivors, family members of survivors, orvolunteers. Out of the Vienna Relay’s 1,200participants, 800 were youth, ranging fromtoddlers to teenagers. Oakton resident Col-leen Curtis, the chaperone of the OaktonHigh School team, said, “With the familyhistory, we’d love to be able to find a cure.It’s so great to watch these high school kidscome together for a cause.”

Mother LeavesChild Unattended

On May 16, at 8:49 p.m. Officer Lee Mo-naco of the Town of Vienna Police Depart-ment, while patrolling in the area of theCedar Lane Shopping Center, observed asmall boy running into the CVS store andthen back out of the store in an odd man-ner. The boy then ran up to a family andbegan walking along with them.

A few minutes later, Officer Monaco ob-served the same small child running alongCedar Lane alone. Officer Monaco stoppedto check on the welfare of the 6-year-oldboy at which time the child told him thathe was attempting to find his mother, 47-year-old Barbarita Torres of George Streetin Vienna, and was not able to locate her.

Upon arrival at the home, they found thefront door open and nobody was at home.Approximately one hour later, the motherreturned to the home. She stated she wasout shopping. Fairfax County Child Protec-tive Services was contacted and will followup on the case. Torres was subsequently ar-rested and transported to the Fairfax CountyAdult Detention Center. She was formallycharged with contributing to the delinquencyof a minor and released on a $1,000 bond.

Week in Vienna

The Connection

The Paris Peace Talks at the end ofthe Vietnam War have nothing onthe final meetings of the Tysons

Land Use Task Force.In Paris in the 1970s, they argued over

the size of the table. In Tysons the argu-ment is whether to break up into smallgroups or stay as one body as they wrestlewith preparing their final recommendation

for redesigning the 1,800 acres of TysonsCorner.

One member may have underscored themain problem. “We have to decide whetherit is urban or suburban,” and he felt it wasan “urban priority” in the plan.

From the beginning some members andsome critics said the 36-member task forcewith residents of nearby communities,Tysons business men and women, countyofficials and a range of involved citizensfrom a bike shop owner to a homemakerwould be too cumbersome to make deci-sions. Like almost all deliberative bodies ina democracy, that initially appeared the caselast week on Monday night.

Despite Chairman Clark Tyler’s plan tobreak the meeting into groups after presen-tations by staff planning experts, the meet-

ing moved forward as one group, albeit jerk-ily. Several members said they did not knowhow the Task Force could find consensus, ifit met in small groups where the views ofall the members could not be shared.

The first two and one-half hours were indiscussion of the transportation plan for thenew city. Though no conclusions werereached, these were the concerns raised:

❖ The circulator idea, that is a trolley orbus to carry passengers around Tysons Cor-ner and reduce the use of cars, is fully sup-ported. But the members seemed to thinkthat they needed to know where it wouldrun and whether it would run on “dedi-cated” shares of the road. The circulator asdrawn on early maps of the plan would run

Size and diversity ofTask Force makeconsensus difficult.

The Connection

Polish immigrant Anna Orlowska,an Oakton resident, is full ofpraise for the Vienna PresbyterianChurch’s English for Speakers of

Other Languages (ESOL) Program.“It’s been very helpful. It helped me with

everyday things — talking to my host fam-ily, to their kids. I came to America in Octo-ber, and during this time my English hasimproved a lot [because of ESOL]. Now Ifeel more comfortable buying something,going to the library, talking on the phone.”

The Vienna Presbyterian Church (VPC)has provided a valuable assistance for im-migrants seeking a foothold in this new en-vironment. The ESOL Program offers notonly four different levels of English languageclasses but also tutoring in computer skills,citizenship classes, and a mentor program.

IN CONJUNCTION with Northern Vir-ginia Community College, VPC began their“ESOL for Employment” class last year,which allowed motivated ESOL studentswith strong English skills to learn skillsneeded to succeed in new careers. Throughthis partnership, VPC sponsored four ESOLstudent scholarships, allowing students toattend classes at NVCC. Other classes withinthe program include an advanced writingclass, an advanced conversation class, andweekly Bible study classes.

In recognition of its ESOL program,Vienna Presbyterian recently received the2007 Fairfax County Human Rights Award,

AskDr. Casey,

Most adults probably feel when they go to

their dentists’ office that they are listening to a

broken record . . .”You need to floss more”. .

“You need to floss more”. There is a method

to this madness. Flossing is the most impor-

tant thing that you can do in your daily routine

to improve your oral health.

Why is flossing so important? It is the

best way to remove plaque and bacteria from

your mouth. Flossing cleans and polishes

tooth surfaces making teeth whiter. It

removes debris that causes bad breath. It

removes the bacteria that causes gum dis-

ease. This bacteria has been directly linked to

heart disease. You can literally floss your way

to a healthier heart.

Do me a favor . . . Grab a piece of floss and

wiggle it between a couple of teeth. Now ball

it up and smell it. Not very pleasant! Is this

the type of stuff you want making a home in

your mouth? Truly the most effective way of

removing it is by flossing.

It you have any questions, please do not

hesitate to give us a call. We are here to help.

Dr. Todd Casey is a general dentist whose

practice is geared towards cosmetics and

overall family care. He is in practice with his

father, Dr. George Casey, and they have been

serving the greater Oakton/Vienna area for the

last 35 years.

because of the program’s impactand benefit to the Fairfax Countycommunity. ESOL Director DorisCooper said, “The award meansthat the church and ESOL are be-ing recognized for caring aboutstudents in a very holistic way.What they [the Fairfax CountyHuman Rights Commission] wereimpressed with was the multipleways we did that — we caredabout their [the immigrants’]families and their lives. And wewere able to teach them at theirown level.”

In addition, in December 2006VPC applied for and won a grantfrom the Department of Labor,which enabled the ESOL programto purchase six computers and tocreate a one-on-one tutoring pro-gram where students received in-struction in computer skills, use ofthe Internet, writing resumes,practicing interview techniques,and searching for jobs.

THE ESOL PROGRAM strivesnot only to educate its students but

also to create a sense of commu-nity among the students andteachers, which can be difficult fornew immigrants to find who can-not speak English. “More thanthat, we try to be their friends, tobe there for them,” ESOL’s otherdirector, Bonnie Grouge, said.“They tell us that we’re their fam-ily, and we establish friendshipsand relationships with them.”

Over the years, ESOL has ben-efited hundreds of immigrants,giving them the tools to assimilateboth culturally and economicallyin the Northern Virginia area. Cur-rently, 377 students, ages 17 to 80,from 56 different countries areenrolled in Vienna Presbyterian’sESOL program, and 51 volunteerteachers help supervise and teachclasses. ESOL also features openenrollment: Students can enrollany time during the period whenclasses meet — from September toMay. Classes meet Monday andWednesday mornings, 9:30-11:15a.m., and Tuesday and Thursdayevenings, 7:30-9 p.m., and freechildcare is available during everyclass.

The Connection

When PaulaT e n n y s o n(Hoffmann) began her profes-

sional dancing career, she was a14-year-old under contract with aNew York ballet company. In herdancing days, in the 1950s and1960s, dancers paid their ownhotel bills and food costs while on-tour, and on-tour they were, sixmonths a year, performing one-nighters, traversing the country ina bus.

Things have changed since then,Tennyson Hoffmann says.

“Dancers nowadays have itmuch easier,” says Hoffman. “Thebigger ballet companies do nottour; the audience comes to them.And they’re paid much better, too.”

Tennyson Hoffmann and herhusband, Ralph, a retired dancer,as well, have lived in Vienna sincethe early 1970s, raising their twodaughters here. Upon the birth ofher first child, Tennyson Hoffmannretired from professional perfor-mance, and made a new life teach-

ing ballet and, eventually, work-ing part-time at Patrick Henry Li-brary

“I’ve always loved to read,” saysTennyson Hoffmann. “This is agood place for me.”

TENNYSON HOFFMANN andher husband, who dedicated 24years at Wolf Trap as chief of per-forming arts, speak at PatrickHenry Library on May 27 at 7p.m.,sharing their “Remembrances of aDancing Life.” The presentation isplanned as an informal chit-chat,sitting around table, as TennysonHoffman passes around her scrap-book of memories and mementos,answering questions, and tellingstories of her experiences.Tennyson Hoffmann was born inHouston but moved around theMidwest. Living in Longview,

Texas, her mother drove her oncea week, 120 miles in each direc-tion, for lessons in Dallas. She andher mother arrived in New YorkCity on New Year’s Day during ablizzard; Paula was 14 years old.

At 17, she joined the BalletRusse de Monte Carlo, spendingsix years touring with the com-pany. The tours, TennysonHoffman says, were “brutal.” Thehours were grueling; from early inthe morning until early the nextmorning.

“The ballet company becomesyour family. Remember, it’s mostlyone-night stands over a five to sixmonth period. You had bettermake sure you have a good rela-tionship with your seatmate.”

Tennyson Hoffmann says shehad a “dancer’s body,” long limbs,small head, and natural “turn-out.” She started dancing as a six-year-old and trained under someof America’s great ballet masters.When she retired from the BalletRusse de Monte Carlo, she hadattained first soloist rank, anddanced as Odette in “Swan Lake,”and the pas de deux from “LesSylphides.”

As a young woman, PaulaTennyson Hoffman dancedwith Ballet Russe de MonteCarlo as first soloist. TheVienna resident works part-time at Patrick Henry Library,and teaches dance at theVirginia Ballet Company.

From Swan Lake to Vienna LibraryVienna residentshares recollec-tions of ballerina’slife on-tour.

WITH HER CHILDREN grownand away, Tennyson Hoffmannteaches ballet once a week at theVirginia Ballet Company and hasstaged performances on the

school’s behalf. Three days aweek, Tennyson Hoffmann is atPatrick Henry, a place where shehas felt at-home for the past 20years.

Ralph works in the D.C. at theKirov Academy, but there arevestiges of his presence still atWolf Trap. A stage area is dedi-cated to him.

Tennyson’s image appearedon performance art covers, inadvertisements, on record cov-ers, and even on the cover of aballerina coloring book thatPaula has in her possession. Afriend told Paula that an imageof a posed Paula had appearedon a cookie tin in Europe.

Tennyson Hoffmann’s recol-lections of life as a touring bal-

lerina paint a vivid picture of anartistic era. “It was sometimes re-warding, and at other times, gru-eling. It’s that mixture.

“You have to be young to do it,and I have no regrets.”

between the four proposed metro rail stations. Thestations, the planning officials said, are about eightminutes apart, so some way to get around and tooffices and residences has beenconsidered critical.

❖ The Dulles Corridor Rail (allmembers are working on the pre-sumption that the rail project willgo forward) will presumably bringpassengers to Tysons Corner fromboth the Washington direction andthe Dulles International Airportdirections. If it became, as theplanners hoped, a major carrier ofemployees to an expanded Tysons(one envisions Tysons growing tohave some 200,000 jobs), what to do at each sta-tion, how to disperse the riders in the morning andevening rush hours did not seem clear to Task Forcemembers.

❖ How to control the vast flow of cars into Tysonshas not been clear during any planning. For instance,cars often abandoned the toll road to Dulles at TysonsCorner to avoid the 75-cent toll. One major hope hasbeen that once the density of Tysons is increased andmore high rises are built and convenient housing is

available a lot of workers will choose to live near theirjobs. Planners acknowledged that they have neverstudied the major apartment buildings in Tysons tofind out how many residents work nearby.

❖ How pedestrians can cross the major roads thatdominate Tysons was treated as acritical issue last week. Question-ing whether pedestrian bridgesover the Beltway, the Toll Road andRoute 7 are sufficient and feasible.

❖ Tysons will also be impactedby the four “Hot Lanes” exit rampsthat are planned for the area, butwhere they will dump our cars andhow to meld them with localstreets raised sharp questions

❖ The “grid” plan too seemed upin the air. In general terms, task

force members have been in favor of creating urbanstyle grid plans for streets in several Tysons neigh-borhoods, but how this will meld with developer’splans seemed unsettled.

❖ Finally several members felt the early plan isbland, old fashioned and failed to have the touchesof urban planning now found in Europe, San Fran-cisco and New York. There was an absence of “green”in the sense of green planning and in the integrationof parks and recreation areas.

Remembering on Memorial DayLocal families turn griefinto service.

Editorial

Ami Neiberger-Miller of Sterling losther brother, U.S. Army SpecialistChristopher Neiberger, in August2007 when he was killed by a road-

side bomb while serving in Baghdad, Iraq. Hewas 22 years old when he died.

“He was wickedly funny and empathetic,”Neiberger-Miller says, remembering herbrother. “In many ways, I feel like I was justbeginning to know the man he was becoming.”

As we approach the seventh Memorial Daysince the beginning of military operations inIraq and Afghanistan, we recognize that herein Northern Virginia, many local families bearthe personal sacrifice that comes with the lossof life there. More than 4,075 U.S. militarymembers have been killed in Iraq and morethan 500 more have died as a result of opera-tions in Afghanistan since Sept. 11, 2001.

Many local people have responded to theirloss by reaching out and helping others. Sinceher brother’s death, Neiberger-Miller has de-voted herself to the Tragedy Assistance Pro-gram for Survivors (www.taps.org), which pro-vides peer-based emotional support and otherservices for families of the fallen.

Scott Kirkpatrick, 26, died on Aug. 11, 2007in Arab Jabour, Iraq. Kirkpatrick, who gradu-ated from Park View High School in Sterling,and also considered Herndon and Reston ashis hometowns, was a champion slam poet. Hisfather, Ed Kirkpatrick, wrote: “Those of us whoare already struck by this loss must add thenumbers of those who are wounded [to thosewho have died]. That far greater number andthe pain associated with it goes unnoticed andyet it is the one that is most alive around us.My wife and I try to help those at Walter Reedthrough the Yellow Ribbon Fund(www.yellowribbonfund.org). It was my son’swish that we help the families and soldiers whocome back wounded and we try to do all wecan to honor him and his last wish.” Many ofKirkpatrick’s friends also work to raise fundsfor the Yellow Ribbon Fund.

Beth and Michael Belle of Vienna are motherand stepfather of U.S. Marine Lance CorporalNicholas Kirven, who, at age 21, was killed inAfghanistan in 2005 during a firefight in a cavewith insurgents. He enlisted while still in highschool after 9/11. Beth Belle was notified thather son had died on Mother’s Day. She alsohas a special bond with the mother of the sol-dier buried next to her son at Arlington Na-tional Cemetery; both mothers lost their sonson the same day. The other mother lives inConnecticut, so Beth brings extra flowers andtends to her son’s grave, as well as Nicholas’.They also hold an annual golf tournament to

raise funds for scholarships they distribute toremember Nicholas.

Xiomara Mena and Rafael Anderson ofVienna are mother and brother of U.S. ArmyCorporal Andy Anderson, age 24, who waskilled by enemy fire during combat operationsin Iraq. Rafael will soon deploy to Afghanistan

with his National Guard unit(and with his twin brotherRandy). Xiomara Mena is de-scribed as the unofficial “mayor”

of the section of Arlington National Cemeterywhere her son is buried; she is at the cemeteryevery day.

More than 30,000 soldiers have beenwounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. More thana million soldiers have served in Iraq and Af-ghanistan in that time, with their lives foreverchanged by that experience.

Those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan arethere because of their sense of duty to servethe rest of us, to put their lives on the line todefend the country. They join more than 24million men and women, veterans, who havemade great sacrifice in serving in the military.

A good place to start in showing respect forthose now serving would be to provide themwith the equipment and services they needwhile they are there, and the services they willneed when they get home, including impec-cable, first class health care, and an expandedGI Bill that will provide a college educationfor every veteran who is so inclined.

HERE ARE the names of some of the localmen and women who have died in Iraq andAfghanistan. We repeat these names severaltimes a year to honor their service and to keeptheir memories in our consciousness.

in the field that could have won— Uhron United — owned up toa missed catch, and Hanton’s He-roes were declared victorious, inan 11-10 score.

“We’ve had lots of internet hoursof practice,” said Coach andpitcher, Tom Hanton, before thegame. “I think we can win thisthing. The only problem is that thisgame is real; it’s not virtual.”

THE FIRST ANNUAL SOFT-BALL SLAM, played at WatersField, was a collaborative yet spir-ited effort between the Town ofVienna and the Vienna Tysons Re-gional Chamber of Commerce(VTRCC).

Hanton’s Heroes trailed UhronUnited right until the very end.Final ups in the final inning,Hanton’s Heroes scored a run thattied up the game 10 - 10. Morethan 40 spectators cheered andclapped as the game tied, andDave Hagigh, a Re/Max Alle-giance Realtor when not playingsoftball, came to bat. UhronUnited appeared to have caughtHagigh’s ball as it flew through

worthy show of good sportsman-ship, the fielder told the umpirethat the catch was a short hop. Theumpire then reversed his call, andinstead of an out, the Hanton He-roes were credited for the run thatcame in on that play, beatingUhron United 11-10.

Earlier, in the first inning,Hanton Hero Charles Lewis hit ahomer to the fence. At J.P.Brehony’s third at-bat, he dedi-cated his swing to “all the childrenin Vienna” and to “world peace.”Brehony, a Uhron United pitcherand one of Vienna’s most recog-nizable community supporters,made it to first base on his hit …so much for world peace.

MAYOR M. JANE SEEMANthrew out the ceremonial pitch,and Vienna community supporter,Billy Thompson, announced theplay-by-play. Brehony providedcolorful post-game wrap-up.

On the grounds of the ViennaVolunteer Fire Department, a post-game celebration and awards pre-sentation took place. Thompsonpresented the traveling trophy, abat, to Charles Lewis, home runhitter, for Most Spectacular Play ofthe Game, and awards to KimShankin for Female MVP, and DaveHagigh for Male MVP. Players andguests got their fill of pizza, bev-erages, and cookies during the cel-ebration.

Uhron United team membersincluded Chris Brunjes, Julie Mor-ris, Joe Drozd, Rob Graveline,Kevin Richardson, Seth Demoto,Phil Singh, Kim Shanklin, MarkUhron, and J. P. Brehony. Hanton’sHeroes batted Britney Puhla, JeffRatliff, Tom Hanton, AndrewHaldeman, Charles Lewis, SarahPasco, Dave Hagigh, NancyRobinson, Dan Owens, ErikCoreas, Alec Hillard, JakeRobinson, and Kurt Frogale.

The “hop” was so short, theumpire did not see it, and so, hecalled an “out” for Hanton’s He-roes. The Uhron United fielder,who had caught the ball, knewthat it had “hopped,” bouncing offthe ground, before he grasped itin his glove. In one of baseball’s

2008 District Titles

By Rich Sanders

The Connection

This time, things were different forthe Stone Bridge High baseballteam in its Liberty District tourna-

ment title game meeting against reigningtwo-time defending champion Madison.

The postseason finals game, played onMonday night at Langley High School, waswon in dominant fashion by top seededStone Bridge, 10-0. The Bulldogs, undercoach Sam Plank, received an outstandingouting from senior right handed pitcher TyWeaver, who allowed just a single hit whilewalking two and striking out one in thecomplete game gem.

“He had control and he hit his spots,” saidStone Bridge junior first baseman PatrickThompson, of Weaver’s outing. “They justhit balls right to us most of the night.”

Stone Bridge committed just two errors

on the night behind Weaver.

STONE BRIDGE (19-3) took the lead witha run in the bottom of the first inning, thenadded two more in the second and three inthe third to surge ahead 6-0. The Bulldogseffectively put the game away with a four-run fifth inning to make it 10-0. For the

night, Stone Bridge knocked around 13 hits.Right fielder Michael Prince and center

fielder Matt Irwin led the Bulldogs at theplate with three hits apiece. Two of Prince’shits were doubles, while Irwin also had atwo-bagger.

Charger Pitching Halts Cougars

By Paul Frommelt

The Connection

Whenever the Chantilly base-ball team would practice indoors during this particularlywet 2008 spring season, head

coach Kevin Ford would get a chance to lookup all of the district championship bannersthat the Chargers athletic programs haveamassed over the year. He would always takenote of the baseball team’s last district ban-ner.

“1991,” said Ford. “That was the last timethat I was in high school.”

Thanks to the combined pitching efforts ofjunior starting pitcher Jordan Johnson andsenior reliever Chris Yates and a towering two-run home run by junior first baseman BrianKing, the Chargers can hang their first dis-trict banner in 17 years with a 5-3 win overOakton in the Concorde District tournamentchampionship game.

Johnson, who has pitched in all three gamesagainst Oakton this year, allowed only twohits in five innings of work, at one point retir-ing twelve-consecutive Cougars.

“He is a kid that just goes out and battles,”Ford said. “He doesn’t get all the notorietythat some of our other guys do. His pitchesaren’t quite as overpowering as some of the

other guys, but he throws three or four pitchesand just come right at you. He keeps throw-ing strikes. The kid is just fearless.”Taking a 3-0 lead into the fifth inning, Johnsonhit senior Bret Williams and then walked jun-ior Adam Henne and junior Bobby McCormick

to load the bases with no outs. After retiringfreshman Luke Willis on a strikeout and jun-ior Trevor Falk on a sacrifice fly, Johnson gaveup a two-run double to senior Keith Werman

Summer Camps

Thompson had a triple for the Bulldogs.Also for the winners, left fielder JohhnyBladel and shortstop Mike Stancik both hada pair of hits.

Prince, with his pair of doubles, earnedTeam MVP honors following the title gamevictory.

Madison High starting pitcher Matt Zepp,a right hander, lasted just two innings intaking the loss. Relief pitchers used by theWarhawks were Andrew Schrock and TedWilliams.

At the plate, Madison’s lone hit came fromclean-up hitter and catcher Alex Jacquez,who hit a single to start off the second.

The Liberty District tournament title wasthe first ever for regular season championStone Bridge, which reached the tourneyfinals by defeating No. 4 McLean in a semi-finals round game.

“We worked hard for this all season,” saidPrince, a senior. “All the work we’ve donethe last three years has paid off.”

Madison, the tournament’s No. 2 seed,was a semifinals winner over Langley, 4-3.But in the finals, the Warhawks, who arecoached by Mark Gjormand, fell hard to theBulldogs.

“Madison has always been the top dog inthe district,” said Stone Bridge’s Thompson,who had seven put-outs at first base. “Now,we’re starting to emerge.”

Weaver, with the playoff decision, im-proved to 8-0 on the season.

“He pitched great and handled himselfwell on the mound,” said Prince.

During the regular season, the two teamssplit a pair of games with Stone Bridge win-ning 2-0 and Madison winning 6-3.Madison’s Zepp, a senior, had been the win-ning pitcher in the Warhawks’ victory onMay 8.

Madison senior Matt Zepp lastedtwo innings in a losing effort.

to even the score at 3-3. Werman wasthrown out trying to take third on the play toend the inning.

“It is an 0-0 game again,” King remembersthe team saying in the dugout after the fifth.“We just have to score some more runs andget right on it.”

With two outs and a man on in the top ofthe sixth, Oakton head coach Scott Rowlandconsidered pulling starting pitcher Keith Wa-ger in favor of senior Bart Reese. Rowlandopted to let Wager finish the inning and Kingresponded with a towering blast over thescoreboard at Westfield High School to givethe Chargers the 5-3 lead.

“It starts with me. We had our guy ready inthe bullpen, I just didn’t pull the trigger,” saidRowland. “We discussed it before he hit it. Itis my call to make.”

The shot was King’s second homer of theyear. His only previous home run was a three-run bomb against the Cougars on May 5.

“He is so big, if he finally gets his arms ex-tended, the ball really goes for him. That washuge. Just a clutch hit,” said Ford.

Added King: “I just wanted to hit it hard. Itended up getting over the fence.”

Yates retired the final six Oakton batters tosecure the Chantilly victory.

“[Oakton] has pretty much owned us for along time,” said Ford. “[We had to] get overthe physiological block were we can not onlyplay with them but we can beat them.”

The Cougars lost their second-consecutiveConcorde District final. Last year, Oaktoncame back to win the Northern Region title.

“I still think that we can beat anybody, butit is obvious that we can lose to anybody too,”said Rowland. “We will have to regroup andit is going to be hard to regroup after a toughloss like this.”

Chantilly will host Mount Vernon on Fri-day at 7 p.m. in the first round of the North-ern Region tournament. The Cougars willmatch up against Washington-Lee.
