Field Hockey

Wolverines field hockey played cross-town rival Clarksburg Coyotes last night, coming off of a loss to the Poolesville Falcons last Wednesday, October 4. Sadly, the ‘Rines fell to the Coyotes 0-5. Despite the loss they played great defense the first half, holding the Coyotes to zero goals. However, the momentum of the Coyotes on their senior night was too strong to stop and they scored five goals the second half.  The ‘Rines play again tomorrow, October 13 at home against the Seneca Valley Screamin’ Eagles at 3:45 pm.

Girls Volleyball

Volleyball fell to James Hubert Blake High School 3-0 on Tuesday, October 10 but look to bounce back tonight at home against Northwest High School at 4:45 pm. The ‘Rines have had a tough season so far, but continue to work hard.

“We really need to focus on putting in a lot of effort and not getting [discouraged] when we look at the scoreboard. I think that’s one of our main problems. We just need to focus on the next play and not on past mistakes,”senior captain Aiyanna Cobbs said.
