Atlee’s boys volleyball team is an undefeated 13-0. The players seem excited about this, while coach Michelle Black is a little uncertain. “It’s a good thing,“ she said hesitantly. “I worry about them becoming too cocky. I try to keep them very grounded.“ The Raiders latest conquest was a four-set victory against Lee-Davis last night, a Capital District game that gave Atlee a tough test on the road.

Antone Exum tossed five touchdowns and ran for another as Deep Run, No. 3 in the Times-Dispatch Top 10 Poll, defeated John Marshall 51-20 last night in each team’s Colonial District opener.

Atlee and James River captured district golf tournament championships yesterday. Led by medalist Collin Turner, Atlee compiled a four-player score of 314 at Belmont Golf Course and finished six shots clear of Hanover in the Capital District. Turner posted a 4-over 75. Belmont yielded just six scores under 80. Atlee earned a berth in the Central Region tournament (Oct. 6-7) as did Hanover, which had tied for first during the regular season with Lee-Davis.

Deadline for nominations for the Scholar-Athlete award for September is Oct. 8.
