The Warren duo of Caitlyn and Courtlyn helped pace Manchester to a 4-2 win over Monacan in the opening round of the Dominion District girls field hockey tournament yesterday. Caitlyn’s first goal came in the first half for the fifth-seeded Lancers, and Courtlyn and Samantha White added scores to Warren’s in the second. Goalkeeper Alexis Meyers had five saves for the Lancers.

L.C. Bird didn’t feel the need to prove anything against Clover Hill’s big defensive lineman, Mo Gross. In fact, the team ran away from him. It proved to be a winning strategy as the Skyhawks sprinted to an early lead, then let their defense shut down the Cavaliers in a 27-3 romp. Now at 5-0 in district play, the Skyhawks both avoided a tie for first and, thanks to Manchester’s victory, put two games between themselves and the competition in the Dominion.

Jamal Winston had a 5-yard touchdown run in overtime then hit David Wilburn with a 2-point conversion pass out of the muddle huddle to give the Lancers a heartstopping overtime win over the sixth-ranked Titans. Winston’s touchdown helped the Lancers (3-2 Dominion, 4-3) survive a furious rally from Cosby led by Fuller Hoepner. Manchester led 32-20 at halftime but behind a 402-yard, 5-touchdown performance from Hoepner, Cosby (3-2, 5-2) pulled into a 43-39 lead in the fourth quarter. Hoepner’s favorite targets were Jordan Egerton (6 receptions, 186 yards, 3 TDs) and Bryce Dillion (8 receptions, 131 yards, 1 TD)

Arsaiah Robinson ran for 77 yards and two touchdowns and the Falcons held on for a Dominion District win over the Trojans. After Midlothian (0-5, 1-6) took a 3-0 lead, Robinson scampered in from 11 yards and 3 yards to put Huguenot (2-3, 3-4) in control. Peter Thomas chipped in with 71 yards rushing for the Falcons. The Trojans made a late rally with Jimmy Whitten hitting Ryan Hamner with a 5-yard touchdown pass and then passing to Collin Joyce to cut the lead to 3 points. Huguenot recovered and onside kick to seal the victory.

Kevon White rushed 12 times for 160 yards and three TDs as James River (3-3 Dominon, 4-3) defeated George Wythe (0-5, 0-6). Calvin Jefferson had one reception for 41 yards for a touchdown and a 95-yard kick off return to open the second half. James River’s defense held George Wythe to 103 yards of total offense. Zack Duell had an interception, two pass break ups and six tackles.
